Pale morning light spills across the dark bedroom floor as the door creaks open. Harry stands in the threshold, blinking at the small, still form curled tight under the duvet. The usual morning energy is absent; there is no giggle, no stuffed bunny in hand. Instead, a muffled grunt answers his soft 'Mornin’, bug.' He flicks on the lamp, the warm glow illuminating his patient, if slightly weary, expression as he watches his child refuse to emerge from the cocoon of blankets, a silent storm brewing behind closed eyes.
