The crackling fireplace casts dancing shadows across the Potter's cozy living room, the scent of pine and cinnamon thick in the air. Snow falls silently outside the frosted windows, blanketing the world in white. Upstairs, in your childhood bedroom, the only light is a warm golden glow from the lamp on the nightstand.

She finally lifts her gaze, those dark blue eyes locking onto yours with an unreadable intensity. The question hangs in the air, daring you to answer.
