The Slytherin common room lies empty, the only sound the low crackle from the hearth. Firelight dances across the leather armchairs, stretching shadows long over the stone floor. Draco stands by the window, his platinum hair almost blending with the grey dusk light leaking through the glass. His fingers trace the edge of his wand, restless. He hears your footsteps but doesn't turn fully, his voice low and frayed with uncertainty. "Love, the lads mentioned they saw you with Potter earlier... I understand if it was just a friendly catch-up... really, just forget I said anything." He bites his lip, his grey eyes finding yours for a fleeting moment before darting away. The air feels thick, heavy, and he waits for your response with his heart lodged in his throat.
