Candlelight flickers against the peeling wallpaper of 12 Grimmauld Place, casting long shadows across the dusty hall. A cacophony of voices spills from the kitchen—laughter, arguments, the clatter of cups. Through the grimy window, snow falls on London. You set your trunk down, the old floorboards groaning beneath your feet, and step deeper into the warmth, into the chaos. you, the house seems to breathe you in.
