Tempest of Jealousy

The days passed with a sense of uneasy tension hanging over Hogwarts, the aftermath of the skirmish in the corridors still fresh in everyone's minds. As you navigated the halls, you couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, the weight of Draco Malfoy's gaze burning into your skin like a brand.

One afternoon, while studying in the Gryffindor common room, you were interrupted by a familiar voice. "Mind if I join you?" Harry Potter asked, his emerald eyes warm with kindness as he gestured to the empty seat beside you.

Surprised but pleased by his unexpected company, you nodded eagerly, a smile tugging at the corners of your lips. As you chatted animatedly with Harry, laughter ringing through the air, you failed to notice the figure lurking in the shadows, watching your interaction with narrowed eyes.

It was only when Draco Malfoy emerged from the darkness, his expression twisted with jealousy, that you realized the gravity of the situation. "Potter," he spat, his voice dripping with disdain as he glared daggers at his Gryffindor rival.

Harry raised an eyebrow, unfazed by Draco's hostility. "Malfoy," he replied evenly, though a hint of amusement danced in his eyes.

But Draco's attention was focused solely on you, his stormy gray eyes burning with an intensity that made your heart race. "What's this, (Y/N)? Playing nice with the enemy now, are we?" he sneered, his words laced with venom as he turned his gaze on you.

You recoiled at his harsh tone, stung by the sudden shift in his demeanor. "It's not like that, Draco," you protested, trying to defuse the tension between them.

But Draco's jealousy was already ignited, a tempest of emotions swirling beneath his icy exterior. With a curt nod, he turned on his heel and stormed out of the common room, leaving you and Harry staring after him in bewilderment.

As the echoes of Draco's departure faded into the distance, you couldn't help but wonder what had sparked his sudden outburst of jealousy. And as you exchanged a worried glance with Harry, you knew that the tangled web of secrets and shadows surrounding Draco Malfoy was far from unravelled.
