London's evening fog presses against the windows of the Scamander residence, and the gaslight inside throws wavering shadows across the formal dining table. Theseus Scamander, twenty-seven and newly confirmed as Head Auror, sits with a spine of iron, his deep blue eyes methodically surveying the room. You sit opposite him, eighteen and holding yourself with a stillness that speaks of rehearsed composure. The air is dense with expectation. Newt watches, silent, from his place, while the parents converse in low tones, orchestrating a union they deem both proper and inevitable. It is a tableau of quiet tension, where obligation holds far more weight than any fleeting want.
