The Great Hall is a symphony of morning chaos, the air thick with the scent of toasted bread and the low hum of hundreds of students. Golden sunlight filters through the enchanted ceiling, illuminating the steam that curls from breakfast platters. At the Slytherin table, Draco is a statue of indifference, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with Blaise. His steel-grey eyes are locked onto his goblet, pointedly avoiding your gaze. Seven days of absolute silence. Seven days of cold shoulders. Yet, as you glide past, you catch the subtle, telltale stiffening of his shoulders.
