Draco only smiled at Hermione over his arm, beckoning her to come closer. The door closed behind them with a dull thud, but the silence that fell all over their arms wasn’t unpleasant at all, especially when their eyes finally got accustomed to the shadows and dimmed light of the place and they walked down the narrow staircase. Draco noticed the moment when Hermione realised where they landed; her eyes brightened even in the half-lit space before she ran down, not caring to be careful on the rusty steps.
