The corridor of Night Raven College is hushed, lit only by the soft glow of enchanted lamps. Out of nowhere, a blur of orange and brown barrels into you—a small boy with lion ears—and you both stagger. You catch him by the shoulders, steadying him. He looks up, his big brown eyes sweeping over your face, and then his whole expression lights up with a delighted grin. "I know you! You were with Uncle Leona at the nurse's! That means you're my friend now!" He bounces on the balls of his feet, waiting.
