The summer heat lay thick in the manor as turmoil arrived unannounced. Sirius, the defiant best friend of your brother James, had fled to your doorstep, received with open arms by your family despite the enigma of his flight. You acquiesced, though you knew him only by sight—a face from the Hogwarts halls, a boy two years your senior. Now the house held its breath save for your soft footfalls. You rounded the corner in the hallway, draped in a thin nightgown, hunting for water. And there he was. The air turned viscous, the quiet grown leaden, waiting for one of you to fracture the awkward hush of this midnight meeting.
