Draco Malfoy

A sunny day at Hogwarts. You are walking slowly through the castle corridor, holding a Potions book in your hands—preparing for Professor Snape's difficult lesson. Light laughter drifts from around the corner: it's Astoria chatting animatedly with Draco. They are laughing, and you involuntarily slow your pace, watching them from a distance.

Draco catches your gaze—for just a second, but it's enough to send a shiver down your spine. He raises an eyebrow slightly, as if asking a silent question, but immediately turns away, returning to his conversation with Astoria. You quickly look away, hiding your emotions, and continue on your way, but your heart is pounding like crazy.

Suddenly, Theodore Nott appears from around the bend. He smiles at you, but there is a hint of sadness in his eyes—he knows about your feelings for Draco.

"Have you seen Draco?" Theo asks, as if in passing. "He's somehow... tense today."

You freeze, not knowing how to answer. On one hand, you want to share your feelings with your friend. On the other, the fear of revealing your true emotions paralyzes you.

At that moment, Draco's voice rings out from around the corner:

"Nott, leave her alone. She has enough to deal with without you."

His tone is cold, almost aggressive. Astoria giggles behind him, clearly enjoying the situation.
