"Can't blame you." Harry said, gently taking the boy's hand again and leading him through the house, the decorations on the wall suddenly becoming less imposing and grand as they stepped into the stone-floored kitchen. "Now, do you want to get us a drink, Nell?" He asked the boy, taking the iron bath from under the large table, and set it in front of the fire place, before stoking the embers and adding a few new pieces of wood. "Something to help those aches and pains of yours." He added, fetching a cauldron full of water and pouring half onto the bath and then setting it onto the range, letting it heat up more directly there.
"Will... will you tell me what happened?" He asked, sitting down on the bench by the table, gesturing for Nell to sit with him.
