Hogsmeade's cold air tangles in your scarf while shop lights flicker against the grey sky. The laughter of students drifts through the cobbled alleys, but you only hear the beating of your own heart. Draco walks beside you, his blonde hair almost silver in the fading light, his steps sure and elegant. He brought you here, on this walk you thought was special, and now his words hang in the air like a shattered spell. Hey, you... do you think you could introduce me to Astoria? The question echoes, and the world seems to stop. Your fingers tense inside your gloves, and you lift your gaze to him, searching his grey eyes for a sign this is a joke, a mistake. But there is none. Only the awkward silence and the wind biting your cheeks. What do you say now that you know the truth?
