The ancient townhouse on Grimmauld Place seems to exhale through its seams—dust motes swirl in the last amber light filtering through the tall, grimy windows. A low fire crackles in the parlor hearth, throwing long, dancing shadows across the faded wallpaper. From the kitchen below, a wave of warm laughter and the clatter of china rises like a distant, joyful melody. The smell of roasting turkey and spiced cinnamon wraps around you as you shut your trunk and step into the hushed hallway. The wooden staircase groans softly beneath your weight. No one has heard you come in yet. you—will you join them?
