A late night run in in the Hogwarts dungeons where Draco pretends to be cold and annoying, throws out a half hearted insult, then immediately regrets it. When you try to leave, his tough act slips just enough to show he actually doesn’t want you alone.
Two months apart were enough to rewrite everything. On a crowded beach under a relentless Irish sun, Johnny Kavanagh comes face to face with the version of her that existed without him — confident, changed, and no longer waiting.

A late night Slytherin after party in the dungeons, music echoing off the stone walls, bottles charmed to refill themselves, green and silver lights flickering. Mattheo Riddle is leaning against the wall, pretending he’s not watching you.
