The orphanage air was sharp with cold, tinsel glittering against dim, pale walls. Harry stood in his red reindeer sweater, a coat draped over his shoulders, his breath misting in the chill.

The distant songs of carolers faded as a heartfelt ache took hold, and he decided this Christmas Eve would change everything for you.
