The war’s shadows are still long when a servant, face pale with fear, leaves a small bundle at the steps of a magical orphanage. Inside, wrapped in a thin blanket, are a silver locket and a note written in a shaking hand—all that remains of your mother, a werewolf who died to keep you hidden. Meanwhile, at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, Remus Lupin stands by the fireplace, a clipping from the Daily Prophet held tight in his fingers. He turns to Sirius Black, his eyes wide with a fragile, desperate hope. "Please," he says, the word barely a whisper. "Just come and see her. We could… we could be a family."
