In third-year halls, their paths first crossed,
A Raven boy, a Blonde girl lost.
"Stay out of my way," she warned with a glare,
But something lingered in the frosty air.
Crimson with his scar and fame,
Emerald with her secrets untamed.
Two worlds ap...

The grand bedroom of Malfoy Manor was a symphony of soothing morning light and opulent décor. The room's luxurious curtains were drawn back, allowing golden rays to flood in and gently rouse the inhabitants.
Aria stretched beneath her satin sheets, blinking against the sudden brightness. She shifted, feeling a sense of anticipation mingling with the early morning drowsiness. The Quidditch World Cup was just hours away, and today promised to be a day filled with excitement. She turned to Onyx, who was still curled up in a bundle of blankets.
"Onyx, wake up," Aria murmured, nudging her friend gently. "It's time. We need to get ready for the World Cup."
Onyx groaned, her head poking out of the covers. "Ugh, already? Can't we get a few more minutes?"
Aria chuckled softly. "Nope. The Malfoys are expecting us for breakfast, and I'm pretty sure they won't take kindly to us being late."
Onyx reluctantly pushed herself up, rubbing her eyes. "Fine, fine. But I'm taking an extra five minutes in the shower."
Across the hall, in another well-appointed guestroom, Blaise and Theo were stirring as well. Blaise groaned as he reached out to silence his alarm, which had gone off far too early in his opinion. Theo, who had been a lighter sleeper, was already half-awake, watching Blaise with mild amusement.
"Get up, Blaise," Theo said with a smirk. "We've got a Quidditch match to get to. I'm not letting you waste time sleeping through it."
Blaise grumbled but sat up, rubbing his face. "Alright, alright. I'm up. But only because I can't miss the World Cup."
The two friends moved with practised efficiency, quickly showering and dressing in their best robes. In the meantime, Aria and Onyx had managed to get ready, with Aria's dark green sundress with silver accents complementing her Slytherin house colours and Onyx's cherry red halter dress adding a touch of elegance.
As they left their room, the group congregated in the grand hallway of Malfoy Manor, where the lavish decor and shimmering chandeliers added a touch of grandeur to the morning. Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy were already waiting in the opulent dining room, looking every bit the part of gracious hosts.
"Good morning, everyone," Mrs. Malfoy said with a warm smile. "I trust you all slept well?"
"Yes, thank you, Mrs. Malfoy," Aria replied, stepping forward. "The rooms were lovely."
Mr. Malfoy gave a curt nod. "I trust you're all ready for the match. We have a bit of a drive to the stadium, so let's make sure we leave on time."
