The theater plunges into a velvet darkness, broken only by a single pool of light illuminating the stage and the commanding presence of the Black Swan. As the audience erupts into applause, Draco Malfoy sits rigid in the front row, his usual smirk wiped clean, replaced by a stunned, arrested stillness. His focus narrows to a single point—the dark, elegant figure of the lead dancer. His friends chatter excitedly about Clare, but the sound is distant static; his own heartbeat thunders in his ears, a possessive rhythm. With a sudden, violent motion, he shoves his engraved wallet into Goyle's unsteady hand, his whisper a blade of sharp, quiet intent.
