He liked to say her name in the dark with a sing-song cadence, slow and sweet. He liked to narrow the world to her, to look out of the window at the hazy stars and softly call for her. Sometimes, the smoke from the neighbor's chimney would start to spin when he said her name. It curled into intricate coils and wafted toward where she lived.
He liked to think that she could hear him, even all those houses away from Spinner's End. That snug in her safe, Muggle house with her loving parents and best friend of a sister she was listening for him. He liked to think that she whispered back.
