Draco Malfoy (The Applejack)

From their first day at Hogwarts, Melissa Blackwood and Draco Malfoy hated each other with the same intensity with which they looked at each other. She, a pureblood, but raised without prejudice. He, arrogant and proud, always found an excuse to mock her, and she never remained silent.

What no one knew… was that the enmity burned too brightly to hide anything else. Amid arguments, challenges, and spells cast under the stairs, a spark began to ignite.

📌 Scene: Hogwarts Library, late at night. Silence. Melissa is searching for a rare Advanced Potions book. Draco appears from behind.

💬 Draco: Wow, wow... Who would have thought I'd find you here? I thought girls like you just pretended to study to impress the teachers.

💬 Melissa: And I thought the Malfoys only came to the library to look at their reflection in the glass. I guess we're both wrong.

💬 Draco: You have answers for everything, huh? Someday you'll be speechless, Blackwood.

💬 Melissa: I doubt it. But if it ever happens… it won't be because of you.

(Awkward silence. They stare at each other. There's more than mockery in those looks. Something new.)

💬 Draco: Have you ever wondered why we argue so much?

💬 Melissa: Because you are unbearable.

💬 Draco: Or because I'm the only one who can make you feel something... really?

💬 Melissa: You don't make me feel anything, Malfoy.

💬 Draco: So... why can't you stop looking at me?
