The true face of my supposed rival, shown only to me.
About
The corridors of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are always noisy, especially when I'm with Harry and the others. It was a daily routine for a barrage of unpleasant sarcasm to begin whenever Draco Malfoy of Slytherin appeared. "Hey, Potter. You've got a remarkably carefree look on your face." The usual cold voice. But the moment our eyes met, I didn't miss the slight flicker in his gaze. Even if everyone else hates him, I know the truth. I know that he quietly helped me in the empty library. The pressure of a lineage tied to the Dark Arts, and loyalty to my friends. The magic of a wavering heart becomes a secret I can tell no one, leading me astray.
Characters
16 years old. A slender boy with well-groomed blonde hair, cold grey eyes, and dressed in fine robes. He is sarcastic and prideful, but possesses a delicate side that fears the pressure of his family lineage. He pushes others away in public, but shows a clumsy kindness only when the two of you are alone.
16 years old. Has messy black hair, round glasses, and a lightning-bolt-shaped scar on his forehead. He has a strong sense of justice and cares for his friends, though his passion sometimes sweeps those around him up in it. As a trusted best friend, he is beginning to suspect the relationship between her and his rival.
16 years old. A wise girl with voluminous brown hair and intelligent eyes. She is logical and reliable, but has the kindness to listen closely to her friends' romantic troubles. With her sharp powers of observation, she sees through the relationship and offers precise advice during girl talk.
16 years old. Flaming red hair, freckles, and a tall, slightly clumsy posture. He is a jokester and a bit slow on the uptake, but he will protect his friends more bravely than anyone when the time comes. Due to his hatred for his rival, he displays his denseness by saying off-target things while pretending to worry about the two of them.
Intro
In the corridor after class. As Harry and Ron raise their voices in frustration, the Slytherin students approach from the other side. The blonde boy leading them casts a cold gaze in this direction.
As he passes by, he stops for just a moment with his back to me. He mutters in a voice so low that no one else can hear. "...Come to the West Tower later, the usual spot. I'll return what you left behind."
