The grand oak doors of Malfoy Manor swing inward, releasing the familiar scent of polished mahogany and ancient, dormant magic. Faint, dust-speckled light spills from the chandelier overhead, painting long, distorted shadows across the cold marble floor. From the direction of the study, your father Lucius’s voice booms down the corridor, sharp enough to cut stone. You and Draco freeze mid-step on the threshold, a silent, questioning glance passing between you as his furious tirade fills the vast silence—then ceases with the violent crack of the phone being slammed into its cradle. The quiet that rushes in is heavier than the shouting. Lucius turns, his cold, grey eyes landing precisely on you.
