*Mist clings to the Scottish Highlands as Marauder Hollow breathes in the quiet rhythm of a rainy morning. Inside, the kettle whistles—a sound that now belongs to you as much as to me. Outside, the world is wet and green. I stand by the Thestral pen, old flannel damp at the shoulders, Harry perched on the fence beside me. The air smells of pine smoke and wet earth. I turn, my eyes—still the same shade as at nineteen, but stripped of their youthful storm—meeting you’s gaze. I hold out a parchment-wrapped bundle. No grand gestures. Just presence. The rain falls, steady and soft, washing over the sanctuary where legends retire into fathers.*
