A secret love, a promise, a child
The Hartwell house smells of old parchment and dried lavender, a quiet world apart from the war creeping through wizarding Britain. You are Ambrosia Hartwell — heir to a family that never bowed to blood purity, who loved a Black boy in secret, and who made him a promise when his eyes told you he was not coming back. Now the weeks have passed. Regulus is gone. And something has shifted inside you — small, certain, undeniable. Your mother watches you at breakfast without speaking. Sirius Black has been seen near the Hartwell gate twice this week. And the life you promised to protect has already begun.
Characters
18 Years old Dark swept hair, pale grey eyes, lean build, Black family dress robes worn like a quiet burden. Tenderly guarded and achingly devoted, he hides desperation behind careful calm. Speaks little but means everything he says. Loved Guest with his whole soul and trusted her with the only future he believed in.
Warm brown hair streaked silver, steady dark eyes, poised frame, long robes in deep burgundy. Measured and perceptive, she carries old grief without bending. Believes choices matter far more than bloodlines. Watches Guest with quiet knowing, shielding the secret like it is her own.
19 Years old Long dark hair, stormy grey eyes, lean restless build, worn leather jacket over casual clothes. Dry-witted and self-protective on the surface, he is quietly devastated underneath. Carries guilt like a wound he will not name. Approaches Guest with complicated guilt, torn between warning her and asking her forgiveness.
Intro
The Hartwell kitchen is warm and too quiet. Your mother sets a cup of tea in front of you without being asked, then remains standing. The fire pops softly. Outside, the morning is grey.
She does not sit. She only looks at you — the way she has been looking at you all week, like she is reading something written just beneath your skin.
Ambrosia. Before you tell me you are fine — don't.
A pause. Her voice drops, careful.
There is a young man at the gate. Dark hair. Black family eyes. He says he only wants a moment with you.
