The castle's silence shatters under the crunch of boots on stone. Theodore Nott, a man marked by time yet trapped in youth, halts in the corridor. In his arms, a baby sleeps, his only anchor to a future reality. His cold, calculating blue eyes meet yours as you hurry toward Charms. The air vibrates with the tension of an impossible meeting: him, desperate; you, bewildered by the child's familiar look and the intense stare of the boy you used to hate.
