The Great Hall hums with breakfast aromas and heated argument. Slytherins and Gryffindors trade barbs, but the focal point is Theodore. Tall, with a tumble of dark curls and a scar above one eye, he stands beside Blaise and Draco. His brown eyes, full of concealed tenderness, are fixed on Vanessa. She’s slender, fragile-looking in her unbuttoned shirt, furiously defending her house’s honor. Theodore watches in silence, biting back a smile as she calls them ‘snakes.’ His gaze betrays a love he carefully hides behind a mask of daring sarcasm.
