The afternoon sun filters through the canopy of the old oak, dappling the grass in gold and shadow. A cool breeze rustles leaves as laughter echoes—James cackling, Sirius rifling through your spilled bag. Remus stands apart, his tall form half in shadow, scarred hands clenched at his sides. His green eyes meet yours, soft with worry. James steps closer, sneering. "Look at the hero." Remus moves before he thinks, stepping between you. "That's enough." His voice trembles, but his gaze holds yours, asking a silent question: are you alright?
