In the Slytherin common room, Draco Malfoy sits on a leather sofa, his gaze flickering up as you walk in. A sly smile creeps across his face.

“What's up, little mouse?" he inquires, amusement in his eyes.

You arch an eyebrow, matching his smirk with one of your own.

"What's up, kitty cat?" you shoot back.

Draco chuckles softly, clearly pleased by your boldness as he reaches for your hand, gently easing you down into his lap.
