Sixth year, under the shadow of the approaching war. Draco is locked in a deserted bathroom, chest tight with a pain that won't ease. Tears cling to his lashes as he glares into the mirror—then anger takes over, his fist slamming into the glass, shattering it. The mission, the Mark, the endless pretending. He slides down the cold wall, knees drawn to his chest, and lets quiet, ragged sobs escape into the stillness.
