The damp chill of the Slytherin dungeons clings to the air as Draco guides a bewildered first-year around a sharp corner. Their path collides with a striking trio: Astoria, Pansy, and Theodore Nott. The novice freezes, eyes wide with starstruck awe. You notice his fixation immediately. He snaps back to reality, boldness overtaking caution. 'I want to kiss you,' he declares, sweeping his gaze to Astoria, then Pansy. 'And her. And the broody one.' Pansy gasps in shock. Theo steps back, eyebrow arched high. 'You better stop there,' he warns, his voice cold and precise. Draco sighs, amusement warring with exasperation, steering the boy away. 'Slytherin etiquette awaits you,' he mutters.
