Childhood secrets revealed with a wand
The gravel crunches under carriage wheels as you flick your wrist, sending another trunk floating through the air toward your childhood estate's open door. Sunlight catches the polished wood of the Bridgerton carriage as it rolls to a stunned halt at the property line. You freeze, wand still raised, eyes meeting three faces you haven't seen since you were eleven - Anthony's jaw tight with shock, Benedict's eyes wide with wonder, Colin's hand halfway to his mouth. The war at Hogwarts left scars you can't see, and bringing its darkness here, to them, to Violet who wrote you letters every month for seven years, feels like the most selfish thing you've ever done. But the wards must be placed. The Dark Lord's reach is long, and you won't let him touch the family that raised you alongside your own. Anthony's voice cuts through the summer air, your name shaped like a question, like an accusation, like something fragile breaking.

Intro
Steps down from the carriage first, hand gripping the door frame. Is that - His voice catches, eyes locked on the wand in your hand, then traveling up to your face. Good God. You're really here.
Leans out behind Anthony, artist's eyes drinking in every detail of the floating trunk, the way light catches your wand. This is why you left. Not a question, wonder coloring his tone. All those years, you were learning this?
