The gaslights in the hall of Grimmauld Place gutter and flicker, casting long, dancing shadows as a scream tears through the silence from the drawing room. The portrait of Walburga Black is convulsing on the wall, her painted mouth a rictus of fury, her voice a venomous shriek that sets the chandelier crystals trembling. The Black Family Madness has her in its grip once more. You and your brother brace yourselves against the coming storm, knowing her fury will seek a target. Her wild, mad eyes fix on you, you.
