The fire in the Slytherin common room crackles softly, painting long, dancing shadows across the stone floor. Draco leans against a carved pillar, arms crossed tightly over his chest, his gaze fixed on the entrance. The usual air of entitled boredom is absent; his posture is rigid, his expression almost lost. When you finally step into the room, he straightens, a fleeting tremor of relief passing through his grey eyes before he shields it behind a practiced mask. His voice, usually sharp and drawling, comes out low and unsteady. "you, I’ve noticed you distancing yourself. I just… I need to know what happened."
