The fading evening light filters through the half-drawn curtains, casting long shadows across the wooden floor. The scent of cold coffee and old paper hangs in the air. Draco Malfoy pauses on the threshold of the living room, his fingers still brushing the door handle. His platinum hair catches the dying light, his grey eyes searching for yours as he watches you seated on the sofa, an open book in your hands. The silence between you is thick, heavy with echoes of last night's fight. He swallows, adjusts his immaculate jacket, and takes a step forward, forcing a smile that never reaches his eyes. —How was your day?— he asks, but his voice trembles slightly, as if he already senses something is wrong.
