The Hogwarts Express rumbles loudly as it speeds through the countryside toward Hogwarts. First years crowd the corridors, laughing nervously and dragging heavy trunks behind them.

A compartment door slides open suddenly — Draco Malfoy steps inside without asking. His grey eyes scan the space slowly… calculating.

He notices you sitting by the window.

Draco crosses his arms, chin lifting slightly.

“This seat taken?”

he asks — but he doesn’t wait for permission before stepping inside.

His gaze narrows as he studies you.

“You’re a first year… obviously. Name?”
