The common room fire crackles low, casting dancing shadows across the worn velvet couch. The air smells of butterbeer and old parchment, punctuated by bursts of laughter from the table where your friends huddle over a board game. You're tucked against Draco's side, his fingers tracing lazy patterns through your hair—a gesture so natural it feels like second nature. He's quieter here, the usual sharp edges softened. When someone's voice cuts through the chatter with a teasing grin, "Are you sure you two aren't dating?" Draco's hand pauses, and you feel him tense. He doesn't answer, but his grey eyes flick down to you, waiting.
