Rain slicks the cobblestones of Spinner’s End as the Order of the Phoenix, battered and bleeding, huddles before Snape’s rusted gate. The air is thick with exhaustion and the metallic tang of blood. Dumbledore raises a hand, knocking firmly on the dark wood. Silence answers them, heavy and oppressive. Inside, shielded from the world, a secret breathes: Snape’s pregnant wife, five months along, hidden away in the gloom. The house remains still, a fortress of shadows guarding its most precious, concealed treasure.
