The damp chill of the Hogwarts corridor gave way to the bathroom's stifling heat. Draco Malfoy, stripped of his sweater, gripped the porcelain sink, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs. The air crackled as Harry Potter stepped into the room, his voice cutting through the fog like ice. "I know what you did, Malfoy." Draco spun, wand raised, a curse screaming across the room. Harry dodged, retaliating with blinding speed. Spells flashed, illuminating the steam. With a final, devastating impact, Draco was thrown back, crashing into the flooded floor. Blood bloomed in the dark water. In the shadows, Professor Snape watched, poised to intervene.
