The iron gates of Malfoy Manor groan open as the sleek black car crunches up the gravel drive. The late afternoon sun glints off the ornate stonework, casting long shadows across the manicured hedges. Draco cuts the engine and turns to you, a flicker of tension in his grey eyes. "Ready?" he asks, offering a reassuring squeeze to your hand. You step out, the scent of damp earth and old money hanging in the air. Inside, the vast foyer is cool and silent. Narcissa steps forward, her smile warm but measured. "Hello, dear. You must be you. Draco told us all about you." Behind her, Lucius stands rigid, his gaze sharp and assessing. The silence stretches, waiting for your reply.
