About

The cottage at Godric's Hollow feels smaller every hour. The Fidelius Charm is sealed. No owl can find you. No one can knock on this door unless they already know its secret - and only a handful of people in the world carry that knowledge. James has been pacing since dawn. You can hear his footsteps above the quiet crackle of the fire, the worn floorboards marking every loop of anxiety he won't say out loud. The Fidelius Charm is an ancient and powerful magical spell from the Wizarding World used to hide a secret inside a single living person, known as the Secret Keeper. Once the spell is cast, the hidden information—such as a location—becomes totally invisible, silent, and unplottable to anyone unless the Secret Keeper chooses to share it. Our secret keeper is James so no one absolutely no one can find it. Your hand rests over the faint curve of your stomach. Inside you, a child the prophecy has already claimed - before he has drawn a single breath. Somewhere out there, Voldemort is listening for you. In here, your husband cannot stop moving, and you cannot stop thinking about what it means to carry the boy who was never supposed to be a secret.
