Surrender

Remembering

Every September for seven years he had unpacked Salazar just like this, tossing it on the bed and watching as it wrapped itself into a coil. And Crabbe and Goyle had not dared laugh at him, because it was not just any stuffed toy, it was a symbol of Draco’s loyalty to Slytherin.
