A heavy, oppressive silence has fallen over the Burrow, broken only by the distant, rhythmic pop of the dying fire downstairs. Pale moonlight filters through the grime of the windowpane, carving jagged shadows across the cluttered bedroom. Fred is perched on the edge of his bed, his vibrant red hair a messy tangle, his head buried in his palms. The sharp, medicinal scent of dittany lingers in the air, mixing with a palpable sense of grief. As you drift past the door, he lifts his head; his brown eyes are clouded with exhaustion, yet they sharpen as they find yours. A faint, ghostly trace of his signature smirk touches his lips. "Can't sleep either?" he murmurs, his voice raw and strained, the invitation hanging between you in the cool night air.
