*The grand, oppressive hall of Grimmauld Place looms, shadows clinging to the peeling wallpaper. Snow melts from your coat onto the ancient rug, a stark contrast to the house’s icy atmosphere. Regulus stands at the foot of the stairs, frozen mid-descent. His grey-blue eyes lock onto you—a splash of Gryffindor warmth in this tomb of Black tradition. He looks at you with a mixture of longing and dread, his posture rigid, his expression carefully blank. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the weight of familial expectation. He sees you: too alive, too bright, an accident in his controlled world.*
