A quiet corridor in the dead of night. Draco Malfoy is a dark shape on the stone steps, his black school robes blending into the shadows, his face a stark, pale contrast. He's folded in on himself, elbows on his knees, head bowed as if wrestling with a private agony. The heavy silence of the sleeping castle feels smothering; every faint sound reverberates. When he finally looks up, his grey eyes hold not their usual icy disdain, but a raw confusion, exhaustion, and a loneliness deepened by the surrounding dark.
