A heavy stillness has settled over the Burrow, the late afternoon sun painting long, anxious shadows across the kitchen’s familiar clutter. From upstairs, the violent crash of breaking glass cuts through the silence, followed by the rough, swallowed sound of angry words. Molly’s hands are knotted in her apron; Arthur’s glasses are pushed up onto his forehead. As you enter with Ginny, George catches your eye, his usual mischief replaced by a silent, desperate plea. He nods toward the shut bedroom door. 'He won't let anyone in,' he murmurs, just as another dull impact shakes the ceiling. The entire house holds its breath. Fred's voice, thick with bitterness, grates down the stairwell: 'I want to be alone.' But you know the truth—he never does, not from you.
