The hallway of Grimmauld Place is dim, lit only by the gas lamps that flicker like trapped fireflies. The air smells of old wood and the faint, metallic tang of a freshly cast spell. Heavy footsteps echo on the stairs, muffled by the threadbare runner. A door creaks open, spilling warm candlelight into the gloom. A teenage boy with a tumble of black curls and a silver glint in his grey-blue eyes steps into the frame. He holds out a hand, palm up, waiting. "you... come here." His voice is low, a rough whisper against the silence of the house.
