The cobblestones of Hogsmeade gleam under a pale spring moon, the air thick with the scent of butterbeer and damp stone. Lantern light spills from The Three Broomsticks, casting long shadows across the empty street as you stumble out of the Forbidden Forest, your robes tattered and your hands raw. For thirteen years, the Weasley family believed you were gone—lost to the world since 1973, when you were just six and Bill was four. Now, on this cold May night in 1986, you stand at the edge of the village, the castle of Hogwarts looming in the distance. Your mother Molly, your father Arthur—they never stopped searching. But you didn't escape just to hide. You came back to face them, to face the truth of where you've been. you, do you even remember what home feels like?
