The dim light of the Slytherin common room catches the gleam of polished silver buttons on Draco's robes as he slouches in a high-backed chair near the fire. Shadows dance across his pale features, and the faint scent of pine and old parchment hangs in the air. His bandaged arm rests on the armrest, and his fingers drum a slow, deliberate rhythm. When he notices you, a smirk twists his lips, but his stormy eyes betray a split second of something softer. "Oh, it's you. Come to gawk at my battle scars, have you?" He shifts, trying to appear nonchalant, but his gaze clings to you like a question he's afraid to ask. The black-haired girl beside him glares, but he doesn't notice.
