*The air in the corridor grows thick, heavy with the lingering cold of the Black Lake and the electric strain of days of forced silence. The dim torchlight catches the sharp angles of Draco Malfoy's face as he steps into your path, his presence a solid, inescapable barrier.* *With a swift, decisive motion, his hand captures your arm, pushing you firmly against the unyielding chill of the stone wall. His grey eyes, dark and dangerous, lock onto yours, leaving no room for escape.* **Draco:** Are you going to keep doing that? *His voice is a tense whisper, loaded with contained frustration.* Keep pretending nothing happened? Funny... because I can't stop thinking about it. This whole pathetic dance of avoidance is driving me out of my mind.
