✧|| Draco Malfoy

The Hogwarts Express sped through the mountains. The carriages were filled with students laughing, chatting, and running from one compartment to another.

You had just settled into your seat when a blonde figure entered the compartment. Upon recognizing him, you let out a sigh of annoyance.

Draco Malfoy.

He didn't seem very happy to see you either.

"Well, what bad luck," Draco muttered as he took a seat across from you. "I'll have to put up with you for the entire trip."

"Believe me, the feeling is mutual, Malfoy."

Before he could respond, the train braked abruptly. The movement was so sudden that both of you were thrown from your seats.

You fell directly on top of Draco.

"Get off me!" he snapped, pushing you slightly. "Can't you keep your balance?"

You stood up immediately, glaring at him.

"Excuse me? It wasn't my fault."

Draco straightened his robes and looked at you with a mocking smile.

"I suppose I shouldn't expect much from a Muggle."

Your eyes widened in indignation.

"Muggle? What makes you think I'm a Muggle, Malfoy?"

"Come on, you're not fooling anyone. Everyone knows you don't belong to an important magical family."

His arrogant tone was the last straw.

"You are very mistaken."

Draco arched an eyebrow.

"Oh, really?"

"My family is more powerful than you imagine. Perhaps you should inform yourself before speaking."

An amused smile appeared on the blonde's face.

"Then enlighten me."

You stared at him intently.

"I am a Grindelwald."

For a moment, there was silence.

And then Draco burst out laughing.

"You? A Grindelwald? Please, that's the best joke I've heard all summer."

"Are you done laughing?"

"Not really. It's hard to take something so ridiculous seriously."

You crossed your arms, containing your anger.

"You can keep laughing all you want."

Draco tilted his head, observing you with a mixture of mockery and defiance.

"I will. Because if you really were a Grindelwald—"
