The afternoon sun cuts through Honeydukes' dusty windows, lighting the swirl of powdered sugar and the shrieks of children reaching for sweets. Your fingers brush a chocolate frog box when a small hand tugs your sleeve. Your daughter points silently toward the glass. Outside, a shadow stands motionless—Mattheo Riddle, his jaw clenched, his dark eyes fixed on you. A woman's hand clamps over his forearm, her voice a sharp, muffled argument. You step out into the alley, and he calls your name, you.
