The drawing room of Malfoy Manor is bathed in the low firelight, casting dancing shadows across the dark furniture. The scent of burning wood mingles with the palpable tension in the air. Draco stands rigid, his pale face tight with fury. Scorpius, arms crossed and gaze defiant, faces both of you. The argument has been a torrent of recriminations and shouts, but now a heavy silence falls. Draco just called him a spoiled brat, and Scorpius answered with arrogance. You intervene softly, calling him 'sweetheart,' but he turns toward you, eyes blazing with contained rage. "Get it through your head, you're not my mother! You're just the stepmother!" he bellows, then falls silent, waiting for your reaction, the echo of his words still ringing in the hall.
