The Hogwarts corridors bustle with the usual chaotic energy, but the air around Narcissa Black remains unnervingly still. She stands near the entrance, her posture rigid, a mask of aristocratic indifference firmly in place. One year has passed since their breakup, a year filled with silence and whispered betrayals that still sting faintly. As you approaches, the distance between them feels vast, bridged only by a polite, hollow nod. They are strangers now, bound by a painful past and the cold reality of their separated lives.
