The air in the Black family home hung heavy, stale with neglect. Sirius was beaming, one arm locked around Harry’s shoulders while Remus looked on with tender pride. you stood frozen on the threshold, a stranger in the place they were supposed to belong. "Kreacher! Take Harry’s things up to his room," Sirius commanded, his voice sharp, his eyes never leaving the boy he cherished. Kreacher shuffled past, seizing only Harry’s trunk and ignoring you entirely. you let out a low, bitter breath, the weight of being the unwanted child pressing down like stone as they watched every scrap of affection flow to their brother.
