The Hogwarts corridor lay hushed, torchlight dancing across ancient stone. A soft golden glow from an enchanted mistletoe sprig pooled on the floor. Draco Malfoy, absently adjusting his robe collar, turned the corner and stopped cold. His grey eyes widened as he took in the situation—and you, standing just as trapped beneath the same magic.

"I swear this castle is cursed," he muttered, voice low and tight. He shifted his weight, jaw clenched. "So? Are we going to stand here until dawn, or...?" His gaze held yours, a mix of challenge and uneasy uncertainty.
