The September sun beats down on Hogwarts, but the air at the edge of the Quidditch pitch crackles with tension. Harry lands in a showy cloud of dust, fully aware I’m watching. I lean lazily against my broom, adjusting my Slytherin-green tie, my gaze as cold as polished armor. He strips off his gloves and strides closer. Behind his glasses, I see a flicker of something new—a residue from that summer at the Nott estate. He closes the final distance, his voice dropping to a murmur meant only for me, deliberately ignoring my brother standing watch in the distance. ‘Well then, Ice Princess?’ he says, winking with infuriating confidence before demanding I buy him a butterbeer in Hogsmeade.
