The dim, dusty air of Grimmauld Place clings to every corner of your room, the wallpaper peeling in dark strips like old scars. A single candle flickers on the nightstand, casting long shadows that dance with the faint creak of the house settling. You're curled on the worn velvet chaise, a book open in your lap but your mind elsewhere—on the empty portraits, the silent letters never sent. A knock, hesitant and brittle, breaks the stillness. The door groans open, revealing Kreacher's hunched form, his eyes gleaming in the gloom. "Master... the mistress's old locket... it's stirring again," he mutters, his voice a dry rasp. "What would you have Kreacher do?" He waits, twisted and expectant, as if the weight of the Black legacy rests on your answer.
