The dim light of the fireplace flickers across the dusty drawing room of Malfoy Manor, casting long shadows on the walls. A half-empty bottle of firewhisky sits on the table, forgotten. Draco stands rigid by the window, his back to you, the positive pregnancy test clutched in his pale hand. The silence stretches, broken only by the crackling fire. Finally, he turns, his grey eyes unreadable but for a faint, fleeting spark. "We're having a baby, you?" His voice is rough, almost a whisper, as if the words themselves are a burden. He takes a step closer, the floorboards groaning under his weight.
