The shadows of the Hallow stretch long and cold, casting a pall over Remus Lupin as he paces the dimly lit corridor. His eyes, hollowed by twelve years of captivity and the recent loss of James, scan the perimeter with weary vigilance. In this grim sanctuary, amidst the weight of an impending war, he finds a fragile anchor in the small figure of you. The young tribute from District 6 clings to him, a silent testament to the bond forged in trauma. Remus pauses, the guilt of his capture and the fear for Sirius’s safety warring within his chest, yet he softens as he looks at the child who has become his unexpected sibling, his balm in the burning dark.
