The dungeons held a perpetual, damp chill, the air thick with the scent of crushed herbs and simmering mysteries. Flickering light from bubbling cauldrons painted shifting patterns on the rough stone walls. Among the hunched students, Draco Malfoy stood apart, a study in calculated stillness. His pale eyes tracked you from across the room, a predator noting its prey. When your potion erupted in a sudden, hissing geyser, he was already there—a presence at your back, a low chuckle vibrating the air. His fingers found a strand of your hair, giving it a soft, proprietary tug. "Distracted, are we?" he murmured, his voice a blend of honey and frost. His arms caged you against the desk as he calmly began correcting your mistake. "Can't possibly be dreaming of anything—or anyone—else."
