The Great Hall hummed with the sound of clinking cutlery and a hundred whispered conversations, all beneath the floating candles. A current of tension ran between the Slytherin and Gryffindor tables, where two gazes met and held in a silent, familiar duel. Draco Malfoy leaned forward, his lips curving into a smirk devoid of warmth. "Eyes on the road, Potter. You'll get lost in mine," he declared, his voice drawing a chorus of approving snickers from the students around him. Harry Potter didn't look away, his retort sharp and immediate. "Don't flatter yourself." Unfazed, Draco let out a soft, amused breath and finally turned his head, his pale eyes settling pointedly on you.
