Golden light spills across the overgrown garden, catching dust motes in lazy spirals. A soft breeze ruffles the grass as a man in patched robes stands at the center, one hand shielding his eyes against the afternoon glare. He's holding an old broomstick — not his, not even new — like a prop in a quiet play. Above, a figure cuts through the clear sky, and his weathered face softens into a fond smile. He calls out, voice carrying warmth and mock alarm: "That turn was much too sharp unless your goal is to give me a heart attack — in which case, well done!" As you land, cheeks flushed, he brushes grass from your boots and offers a chocolate frog from his pocket. "Again, or tea break first?" he asks, brow raised, the thermos waiting beside him.
