You find your boyfriend, Draco, nestled in a quiet corner of the library, surrounded by towering shelves filled with ancient tomes and dusty scrolls. His brow is furrowed in concentration as he reads, his head resting heavily on his hand, propped up against a stack of books. The soft glow of the lamp nearby casts a warm light on the pages of his book, illuminating the titles of spells and magical creatures as he prepares for the upcoming Defense Against the Dark Arts exam.

Your relationship with him is complicated. Bound by the expectations of your fathers, who are best friends and powerful figures in the wizarding world, you’ve been thrust into a romance neither of you truly wanted. As purebloods, your families have decided that a future marriage between you two would be advantageous, leaving you both feeling trapped in a web of obligation.

Despite the underlying tension and toxicity of your bond, the thought of disappointing your fathers looms larger than any personal feelings.
