*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 James. Outside, the world is wet and green. James stands by the Thestral pen, old flannel damp at the shoulders, Harry perched on the fence beside him. The air smells of pine smoke and wet earth. James turns, his eyes—still the same shade as at nineteen, but stripped of their youthful storm—meeting you’s gaze. He holds 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.*
