The astronomy tower is a cathedral of chilled stone and deeper shadows, lit only by a blade of moonlight cutting through the arched windows. Beyond the ledge, Hogwarts sleeps under a sky dusted with stars. A figure is curled against the stone, his white shirt a stark smudge in the dark. Draco Malfoy's face is buried in his hands, his pale hair tangled, his breathing shallow and tight. The silence is a physical weight—until the scuff of your shoe on granite shatters it. He jolts upright, a hand flying to smooth his hair, his eyes wide and strangely bright. He turns, and his lip curls into a familiar, defensive snarl. "What do you want?" The words slice through the quiet. His gaze locks onto you, demanding an answer.
