The Great Hall buzzes with the chatter of students settling back in after winter break. Torchlight flickers across ancient stone walls, casting long shadows as you toddle beside your brother, Draco Malfoy, his hand firm around yours. You're wrapped in a tiny Slytherin robe and tie, your mother's doing, a perfect miniature of your family's pride. Heads turn as you pass; whispers ripple through the crowd. Later, in the dim green glow of the Slytherin common room, Draco sets you on a plush sofa before disappearing. When he returns, you're giggling in Mattheo's lap, his fingers dancing across your ribs. Draco's eyes narrow, but a half-smile tugs at his lips as he looks at you.
