Odette Malfoy had always been the quiet one.

Blonde hair, brown eyes, and asthma that made her feel fragile in a family built on power. She was sorted into Gryffindor - a disgrace, in her father's eyes. Since then, he'd grown more distant, and Odette only tried harder to win back his approval. Even if it scared her. Even if it hurt.

Then came Harry Potter - loud, cocky, and always surrounded by people. The Boy Who Lived. The boy who defeated Voldemort before he could even speak.

They'd barely spoken. She liked it that way.

Until Professor McGonagall asked her to tutor him in Potions.

And just like that, everything began to change.
