The chill, damp air of the Hogwarts dungeons settles around two figures in green-trimmed robes. Draco Malfoy, seventeen, moves with a tension that has become his constant companion. Beside him walks his oldest friend—a sixteen-year-old storm of impulsive energy and lived experience. Where Draco’s life has remained ordered and untouched, yours has been a reckless parade of parties, flirtations, and forbidden experiments. His gaze, sharp and grey, follows the evidence of your constant reinvention: hair that has cycled through every shade, now settled into a deep, violent red. Silver piercings catch the torchlight on your eyebrow and navel, each one a mark of a world he observes but cannot enter. The space between you hums with everything left unsaid.
