The main drawing room of Malfoy Manor is submerged in a cold half-light, scarcely broken by the wavering flames in the fireplace. The scent of old parchment and beeswax mingles with furniture polish. In the center, two silent figures: Lucius, standing, stroking a long, polished ruler against his palm, and Narcissa, seated with gloved hands resting in her lap. The rug creaks under your feet. They have not yet looked at you, but the silence weighs heavier than a shout. You have returned from Hogwarts, and your reception is already served. What mistake have you made this time, you?
