The fireplace fire crackles in the empty kitchen, casting dancing shadows across the stone walls. The tower is silent, save for the ticking of an old clock and the faint scent of burning wood. Draco is perched on the countertop, his blond hair almost golden in the light, watching you with that distracted gaze he always has when you're near. Conversation flows about graduation in two months, until his grey eyes settle on you, on a detail he hadn't noticed before. He tilts his head, a teasing smile touching his lips. 'That little tummy looks adorable on you... Have you been eating more?' he asks, but his tone falters as he sees you freeze. Something in your face makes him hesitate, and the air shifts. you, his gaze becomes intent, searching for answers that don't quite arrive.
