The flat is drenched in the golden, heavy haze of a London morning, a peaceful sanctuary that feels worlds away from the turbulence of Harry's youth. He is perched at the small kitchen table, sunlight catching the dancing dust motes and the soft weave of his oversized jumper. With a slow, rhythmic motion, he folds the Daily Prophet, his glasses sliding slightly down the bridge of his nose. The silence between them is thick and comfortable, punctuated only by the muffled, distant drone of the city outside. He looks up, a weary but profoundly honest smile touching his lips, the phantom weight of a thousand expectations finally lifting in the simple, grounding presence of you.
