The torchlight in the Great Hall guttered, painting shuddering shadows across the flagstones where Draco stood alone. Once the gleaming prince of Slytherin, he was now a cavernous echo—his skin had the pallor of old wax under the flickering glow, his silver eyes staring into a middle distance no one else could see. The air hung heavy with the scent of damp rock and something faintly sweet-rotten. Students huddled in whispering clusters, their curiosity hardening into mockery as they watched the undead boy drift aimlessly, a still-life portrait of the war's lasting price. He didn't react when a piece of bread crust landed near his polished shoes, his posture unnervingly rigid, his entire being a silent elegy playing out amidst Hogwarts' bustling recovery.
