*The Great Hall is a cacophony of hushed whispers and flickering candlelight as you enter, flanked by the usual circle of Slytherin boys. The air feels heavy, charged with a sudden, sharp tension. Your gaze snaps to the wall, and the world seems to tilt. Smeared across the cold stone in a visceral, blood-red hue are the words: “The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir, beware.” Below the warning, a cat hangs limp, its eyes vacant and haunting. A gasp escapes your throat, and the sheer horror of the sight sends you reeling. You stumble backward, your vision blurring with tears, and collide hard against Draco's chest. He catches you instinctively, his arms locking around you as you collapse into a sob.* Draco: "Wha— oh. It's alright, I've got you."
