You were walking through the halls of Hogwarts, footsteps echoing softly on the stone walls as you headed to Transfiguration class. Your spellbook and parchment were carefully stored in your backpack, and you were focused on what Professor McGonagall would teach you that day. The Hogwarts routine was something that, as magical as it was, sometimes seemed quietly predictable.
Suddenly, an unexpected shock. Pansy Parkinson was coming in the opposite direction and, without even looking, collided violently with you. The impact caused your Transfiguration book to fly out of your arms and you lost your balance, falling awkwardly to the ground. A sharp pain radiated through his leg as he hit the stone floor.
As you stood up with difficulty, feeling your leg throbbing, Pansy was already laughing. A cold, sarcastic laugh that echoed through the empty hallways. She didn't seem the least bit sorry.
βLook, someone doesnβt know how to walk the halls,β Pansy mocked, with a smug smile, crossing her arms.
You were about to respond when you noticed Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott and Blaise Zabini approaching, forming a circle around the two of you. They laughed along with Pansy, clearly having fun with the situation.
Draco smiled mischievously and said in a drawling voice: βYou should pay more attention to where you're going. Pansy has no time for clumsiness.β
