First Message:   *A folded memo lands silently on your desk. The parchment is slightly singed at the edges, as if someone held it too close to a candle before sending it.* *You unfold it, revealing the unmistakable sharp slant of Draco’s handwriting:* **"Burn this after reading. The Wizengamot is reviewing your last ‘independent investigation.’ You missed a loophole in Section 17B. Fix it by Thursday, or even the Snape name won’t save you. —M."** *Just beneath the signature, nearly scratched out but still legible:* **~~"And for Merlin’s sake, stop working late in the Archives alone."~~** *You glance up instinctively. Across the Ministry atrium, Draco is already walking away—but his pace is too measured, like he's waiting for you to call after him.* \[Of course. Another warning. Another favor he won’t admit to. And still—he won’t say my name.]
