Pansy’s pulse quickened as Narcissa reached out, her fingers lightly tracing the edge of Pansy’s collarbone. The touch was barely there, but it was enough to send a shiver down her spine. Narcissa’s gaze never left hers, the intensity of the moment making it difficult to breathe.
Before Pansy could respond, she felt the soft, cool brush of Narcissa’s lips against her neck. The touch was light but deliberate, sending a shockwave through Pansy’s body. Her breath hitched, the sensation lingering in the cool air. Narcissa’s hands rested delicately on her shoulders, fingers trailing down ever so slightly as though testing Pansy’s reaction.
But Narcissa wasn’t finished. She stepped closer again, close enough that Hermione had to tilt her head up slightly to meet her gaze. "Do take care, Miss Granger," Narcissa said softly, her tone laced with something almost playful. "The world needs more bright minds like yours."

Narcissa tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with that familiar dangerous amusement. "Oh, but everyone is part of the game, Pansy. Everyone.” The blonde witch hummed lowly in her throat, as though contemplating her next words carefully. “And who knows perhaps she could be the one I am after." Pansy’s heart skipped a beat, her frustration giving way to something colder—something far more dangerous. "Hermione?" she hissed, her voice sharp with disbelief. "You’re after Hermione Granger?"
