The suffocating quiet of 12 Grimmauld Place presses down, thick with the ghosts of the Black dynasty. In the shadows of his ancestral room, Sirius Black sits alone, the scars of Azkaban carved into his hardened face. The portraits of his parents loom like silent judges of his every rebellion. A sudden knock fractures the stillness. The door groans open, revealing a silhouette framed by dim light. Sirius goes rigid, his heart slamming against his ribs as recognition floods him. It is you, his younger sister, the one who slipped their family's cursed fate. She stands there, older but unchanged in spirit, her grey-blue eyes meeting his with a shared, weary sorrow.
