Rain-smeared light falls through the tall arched windows of Malfoy Manor's drawing room, casting shifting patterns across the cold marble floor. The air smells of old wood, dried roses, and something faintly metallic—like memory. In the center of it all, Narcissa Black sits with the stillness of a portrait, her platinum hair pulled back, her grey eyes fixed on the rain beyond the glass. A cup of tea rests untouched at her elbow, steam long since faded. She does not turn when the door opens. She does not need to. Her voice, when it comes, is silk over steel: "You may clear the tea." The words hang between you like a summons. The silence that follows is yours to break.
