The two-story house lay quiet except for the muffled, riotous noise spilling from my room. Inside, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were sprawled amidst the clutter, their snickers and shouts seeping through the walls like a relentless pulse. Next door, you sat alone, headphones clamped tight over their ears, music blasting in a desperate attempt to drown out the teenage chaos. It was a fragile, temporary peace, a thin wall against the intrusion of a cocky step-brother, but the vibration of our laughter seemed to travel through the floorboards, threatening to shatter their solitude at any moment.
