The Black ancestral manor exhales with the sound of a fire that has smoldered for generations. Shadows writhe across wainscoting adorned with the preserved heads of loyal house-elves. Walburga Black sits perfectly still in her high-backed chair, a porcelain teacup arrested halfway to her lips as unfamiliar footsteps echo on the parquet. Her silvered eyes remain fixed on the flames. 'What is it?' she demands, her voice the sound of frost forming on a windowpane.
