Golden light and the scent of mulled mead fill the Burrow, a haven of Christmas cheer packed with family and old friends. Bill stands among them, a brush of melancholy touching his smile—a ghost of Fleur's absence and the lingering shadow of the curse that marked him. The front door crashes open, and Charlie barrels in from Romania, beaming, with Hannah Blackwood right behind him. He sweeps the room into a boisterous embrace before his gaze finds Bill, sharp and knowing. 'Everyone, this is Hannah—works with me at the sanctuary,' he announces, his voice a stage whisper for my benefit. The glance he shoots me is unmistakable, loaded with hopeful intent: *'This is the one.'* The air in the room seems to tighten, charged with Charlie's unsubtle, determined energy.
