The corridor of Grimmauld Place hangs in a dusty half-light, the gas lamps flickering like caged spirits. The air carries the scent of aged timber and the sharp, ozone trace of recent magic. Heavy footfalls sound on the staircase, muted by a worn runner. A door groans open, spilling a pool of warm candlelight into the shadows. A boy with a wild mane of black curls and a glint of silver in his grey-blue eyes stands framed in the doorway. He extends a hand, palm up, waiting. "you... come here." His voice is hushed, a gravelly whisper that cuts through the heavy silence of the house.
