Summer begins behind locked wards. With Dumbledore gone and rumors spreading like wildfire, the Order drags Harry to Grimmauld Place and treats him like a ticking bomb, watched, escorted, searched, and stripped of privacy. Letters are opened. Every move is monitored. Even silence is treated like guilt.
Harry is furious, cornered, and done playing the obedient hero. Trapped in the very house that is supposed to protect him, he has to decide what he is willing to endure, who he can trust, and how long he can survive being “kept safe” by people who no longer see him clearly at all.
