Parallel world setting.
One day in 1981.
Black Manor.
Sunlight poured into the courtyard, casting a warm glow over a garden caressed by a gentle breeze. Countless blue roses were planted here. A girl in a white dress sat on a swing, quietly reading a book in her hands, occasionally resting a hand over her heavily rounded belly. It was a scene of utter peace and tranquility. This was the courtyard Sirius had specially built for her, identical to the one at their old home. To ensure she wouldn't be bored, he had planted a vast array of flowers.
Just then, the sound of tiny footsteps approached from behind, accompanied by childishly lisping voices and Kreacher's anxious cries. Gloria closed her book and turned her head to look behind her. Two little girls, who looked absolute identical, came stumbling toward her, calling out "Mama" in sweet, babyish voices. Behind them, Kreacher rolled his wide eyes, calling out "Little mistresses, be careful," while anxiously hovering to protect them.
