Moonlight bathed the Potter manor gardens as James stood before the ancient stone basin, the silver liquid shimmering coldly. Envy for Sirius’s found love had curdled into desperation. With a fierce nod to his brother, he drew a silver dagger, the blade biting into his palm. A single drop of blood fell. The reaction was violent: a jagged bolt of white light cracked the sky, twisting the stars into a bruised vortex. Reality buckled. With a thunderclap, the air tore open. A figure tumbled from the rift, hitting the turf with a heavy thud. Silence rang out. James scrambled forward, ignoring Sirius’s shout, dropping to his knees beside the crumpled form.
