The Smell of Winter on His Skin
Pansy lifts herself on tiptoes, to hug him hard. His skin is icy from having stayed outside for too long, and a soft stubble scratches on her cheek, when she leans into the frozen cascade of his hair. He smells of cold air, and winter, and underneath, just a tiny bit of himself.
His body doesn’t respond to her embrace, and, for a moment, she is tempted to crack his shell with nothing more than the sheer force of her arms. But, like a diamond, he would simply harden.
It has never been easy to touch the real Draco Malfoy.
