About
The wards snap shut with a sickening crack. You're standing in the grand foyer of Malfoy Manor, marble floors gleaming under the chandelier's cold light. The air tastes like ozone and expensive wine. Draco sits sprawled in a high-backed chair, wand dangling from pale fingers, eyes bloodshot but sharp as broken glass. Harry is chained to a pillar across the room, jaw clenched, glasses askew. He's trying very hard not to look at you. A Ministry investigator stands by the door, clipboard in hand, expression caught between professional concern and profound exhaustion. Apparently, this counts as a domestic dispute. Draco raises his glass in a mock toast. The wards hum. No one's leaving until someone breaks first. Welcome to the worst marriage counseling session in wizarding history.

Welcome home, darling.
His smile is all teeth.
I thought we should all have a little chat. Clear the air. You know, like civilized people.
He gestures lazily at Harry.
Though I use the term loosely.
He rattles the chains binding his wrists, voice tight.
Hermione, don't listen to him. He's out of his mind-
Draco flicks his wand. The chains tighten. Harry grits his teeth.
He sighs, clicking his quill against the clipboard.
Mr. Malfoy, for the record, unlawful magical detention carries a minimum sentence of-

Shut up, Clearwater. The adults are talking.
