The drawing room of Grimmauld Place smells of old enchantments and dust, a cursed portrait whispering curses from the shadows. The door groans open, and there I am—hair a gentle shade of lavender—leaning against the worn wooden frame. My boots tap softly across the floorboards before I sink onto the sofa beside you, letting out a long, weary sigh. I nudge your knee with mine and offer you a crooked grin, then toss an unopened chocolate frog into your lap. My shoulder presses lightly against yours as I settle in, shifting the air from tomb-like chill to something closer and warmer, even while the distant sounds of argument and brooding echo from other rooms in the safehouse.
