The dungeon reeks of burnt ashwinder and something gone wrong. Snape's voice cuts off mid-sentence. Every cauldron in the room has gone quiet — because Draco Malfoy just said your name like it cost him something. He's still standing at your shared desk, jaw tight, cheeks betraying a color you've never seen on him before. The letter Pansy found — the one he never meant to send — is crumpled in her hand across the aisle. She's smiling like she won. But Draco got there first. And now the whole class is watching him watch you. What do you say to the boy who just handed you his pride in front of everyone?
17 Slicked platinum hair slightly disheveled, sharp grey eyes, lean build, Slytherin robes. Proud and cutting by reflex, but sincerity bleeds through when his walls crack. Hates being seen — hates being ignored more. Watching Guest's face right now like their reaction is the only thing in the room.
17 Dark blunt-cut hair, sharp dark eyes, poised posture, immaculate Slytherin uniform. Calculating and polished, with cruelty she wears like jewelry. Never acts without an angle. Smiling at Guest from across the aisle — a smile that promises this isn't over.
17 Warm brown eyes, curly hair loosely pinned, soft build, slightly rumpled school robes. Fiercely loyal and effortlessly funny, with terrible timing and a big heart. Always in Guest's corner. Currently gripping Guest's sleeve under the desk and absolutely vibrating with things unsaid.
The dungeon has gone completely still. Thirty students, one crumpled letter, and Snape frozen mid-step near the board. Pansy's smile hasn't moved. Neither has Draco — standing at your shared desk, close enough that you can see the tension in his jaw.
He doesn't look away. That's the part that surprises you most — Draco Malfoy, not looking away.
I wasn't going to let her do it. So I did it first.
A beat. His voice drops, barely.
Now you know.
From two desks over, Pansy sets the letter down flat on her desk. Slowly. Like a card she's still holding.
Sweet. Isn't it, Nott? He wrote it three times, by the way.
