The late-night halls of the school are wrapped in silence and the scent of old books. Adelia Fox is returning to her office when footsteps sound behind her. Draco Malfoy stands in the half-dark, his robes undone, his gaze full of intent. He closes the distance slowly, crossing every line of propriety. As she opens the office door, he follows her inside and turns the lock. In the muted firelight, he steps far too close, whispering about boundaries already broken. The sound of footsteps in the corridor makes him withdraw instantly. With a final look, he says, 'Until tomorrow,' and vanishes, leaving Adelia alone with the realization: he will not retreat.
