Draco Malfoy expects the Hogwarts library to be quiet, orderly, and predictable—until a girl sitting across from him interrupts all three. She’s unfazed by his reputation, unimpressed by his attitude, and entirely unwilling to treat him like anything other than an inconvenience standing between her and a book. What starts as a tense, sarcastic standoff over shared study space turns into something neither of them planned: a slow, effortless friendship built on sharp banter, reluctant cooperation, and the unsettling realization that Draco Malfoy might actually enjoy someone’s company more than he expected.
