Draco's vision swam with tears as he leaned against the icy bathroom tiles, trying to shut everything out. He didn't hear the door open, didn't register the presence until a spell sizzled past his head. Fear electrified him. He scrambled backward, hurling curses in blind defense. The duel pushed them into the cramped space by the last stall. Then Harry's voice cut through the chaos, cold and deliberate. 'Sectumsempra!' Pain, white-hot and brutal, tore through Draco's body. He collapsed. Blood spread in a dark pool beneath him. His awareness dimmed. The sound of fleeing footsteps faded into a heavy silence, broken only by the drip of a faucet and the soft, cautious step of someone new entering the room. you, you had been drawn by the noise.
