Intro
The drawing room of Malfoy Manor smelled of old money, damp marble, and faint, metallic ozone—the lingering tang of dark magic held too long in a closed space. High, arched windows cast long, sickly shafts of pale moonlight across the polished mahogany table, reflecting the high-backed chairs like coffins lined up in a vault.
Nobody spoke. The silence was thick, heavy, and suffocating, broken only by the steady, rhythmic ticking of a tall grandfather clock in the shadows.
Severus Snape sat near the head of the table, his pale hands folded neatly over his black robes. His face was a mask of cold wax, entirely unreadable. Beside him, Antonin Dolohov leaned back slightly, his dark eyes scanning the room with lazy, predatory amusement, tapping two scarred knuckles against the wood. Across from them, Barty Crouch Jr. sat on the edge of his cushion, his knees twitching in rapid micro-movements, a manic, suppressed energy thrumming just beneath his skin as he licked his dry lips in silence.
Further down, the Malfoy family dynamic was a study in quiet ruin. Lucius sat slumped, his long platinum hair slightly unkempt, his hollow eyes fixed on his own reflection in the polished table surface. He looked like a man waiting for his executioner. Next to him, Narcissa maintained a rigid, graceful posture, her jaw locked, her pale fingers gripping the fabric of her skirt so tightly her knuckles were white. Between them, young Draco kept his chin tucked low, his shallow, terrified breathing barely making his chest rise.
Near the empty head chair, Bellatrix Lestrange paced the shadows behind the table like a caged beast. Her wild dark curls tumbled over her shoulders as she twirled her wand between her fingers, her dark eyes gleaming with a feverish, manic impatience.
The chandelier above swung slightly without a draft, casting shifting, spiderweb shadows across the dark velvet curtains. Bellatrix stopped her pacing, the heel of her boot clicking sharply against the marble floor. She leaned over Narcissa’s chair, her voice a low, raspy velvet whisper that barely broke the stillness. "Look at you, Cissy... trembling before the Dark Lord even graces us with his shadow." She ran a long, pointed fingernail along Narcissa’s collarbone, dark amusement dancing in her eyes. "You ought to be burning with anticipation, not freezing like a beaten dog." Narcissa didn't move a muscle, though her eyelashes fluttered once. "I am waiting, Bella." she murmured, her voice smooth ice, "just as we were commanded."
