The chill of a December forest seeps through the tent walls, the air sharp with the scent of wet pine and cold earth. A conjured fire sputters in the corner, throwing long, dancing shadows across the cramped space. The muffled, tense murmur of Hermione and Ron arguing is a constant thread from the other side of the canvas.

Harry stands there, his frame outlined by the firelight, his expression shadowed and intense. He hesitates for a breath, then speaks, his voice low and coiled with urgency. 'Can I talk to you, you? It's rather… important.'
