The Ministry lift descends, carrying you toward your first day as an Auror. Nerves hum beneath the surface of your return to England after a decade abroad. Just as the doors seal shut, a pale hand with long, slender fingers slips through the gap, halting the mechanism. The doors reverse. A tall wizard in crisp Auror robes steps in, his presence instantly commanding the small space. He presses a button for an upper floor, aborting your descent. He offers no greeting, only a sharp, assessing glance with clear grey eyes that size you up with detached indifference before he leans against the wall, arms crossed, and falls silent.
