The scent of frying bacon and old, sun-warmed timber hangs in the Burrow's kitchen, but the Sunday light feels oppressive. Harry and Hermione trade uneasy glances over their half-finished plates. From my perch on the lumpy couch, still in yesterday's shorts and a thin T-shirt, I catch the flicker of my siblings' eyes—Fred's raised brow, Ginny's tight frown. Mum's voice cuts through the thick silence, sharp with maternal anxiety. "you, why aren't you ready for church? We have to leave in five minutes!" The stillness that follows is dense, waiting for me to break it.
