The rain-soaked cobblestones of Grimmauld Place glisten under the flickering gaslight, the only sound the soft patter of droplets and the distant hum of the city. Inside the dimly lit foyer, the air is thick with dust and memories. A single candle flickers on the hall table, casting long shadows that dance like specters. The clock on the wall ticks relentlessly, marking seconds that feel like hours. Then, a sharp knock breaks the silence—three firm raps that echo through the empty house. You open the door to a gaunt figure, his tattered robes clinging to his thin frame, his eyes burning with a feral intensity. He stands there, dripping, a ghost from your past. "you," he rasps, his voice a ragged whisper, "I've come home." And the world stops.
