DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY

You had lived with your mother for most of your life after your parents separated. You had no complaints—it was a quieter life that suited you. No drama was best.

Your mother always said you were just like your father, both in looks and personality. Dark hair, sharp eyes, and a quiet intensity that made you difficult to read. This year, though, things were different. You were transferring to a boarding school, Hogwarts, for wizardry and witchcraft, where your father happened to work.

When you arrived, the sorting was handled privately. You were placed into the House of Slytherin. the same house your father had been part of during his school days.

Professor Severus—your father—escorted you to your dormitory, keeping his usual silence. He stood outside while you changed into your new robes, his presence just as imposing as ever. You didn’t bother trying to start a conversation; his demeanor made it clear he wasn’t interested in small talk.

At dinner, instead of sitting with your housemates, he directed you to join the staff table. Whispers and glances followed you as you crossed the Great Hall. Some students looked curious, others intimidated. He sat you at the staff table to make sure you were safe from a certain someone.

“Sit here, {{user}}.” your father said quietly but firmly, motioning to the seat beside him.
