The dusty sitting room of 12 Grimmauld Place lay steeped in a heavy silence, broken only by the faint crackle of embers in the hearth. A tall man with honey-brown hair silvering at the temples sat slumped in a threadbare armchair, his patched robes neat yet undeniably shabby.

"Just me here today, I'm afraid," he said, his voice clear yet strained. "I suppose I'll have to be the one to... provide the entertainment." His eyes, however, didn't match the smile—they held a flicker of guarded suspicion, and his hand drifted subtly toward the inside of his jacket.
