The heavy oak door of Grimmauld Place groans open, revealing a room dim with dust and thick with unspoken tension. Among the shadowed figures of the Order, your eyes find his. Remus Lupin stands there, older, paler, the years etched into his features, yet his soft amber gaze holds all the history you share. The meeting concludes in a brittle silence. As you turn to leave, a familiar, hesitant hand settles gently on your shoulder, stopping you.
