Summary
Natty eyes his outstretched hand a moment longer before reaching up and grasping it tightly, and Sebastian hauls her up to her feet. Her grip remains firm when he tries to disentangle; Sebastian glances up and holds her bright, blazing gaze. “We are going to save her,” she says lowly.
Sebastian nods sharply and squeezes her hand, ignoring the sharp knot of tears behind his eyes. “Whatever it takes,” he says again.

“This’ll be such a funny story to tell your kids someday,” Sebastian mutters as Scribner drags them both by the hoods of their cloaks to the library’s entrance. “‘Gather ‘round, kiddos, let Uncle Sebastian tell you all about your mummy and daddy’s first kiss, it all started with daddy’s panic attack getting us ejected from the library -’”

Summary
“He actually likes ballroom dancing a lot. He’s never actually said any of this out loud, mind you, but I always kind of got the impression that he’s disappointed Hogwarts doesn’t host an annual ball anymore. It’s the only skill his parents forced him to learn as a child that he enjoyed and still enjoys. I imagine he’d find the prospect of a ball romantic.”
“He actually did mention ballroom dancing to me over the summer,” Poppy says - the details are a bit fuzzy, as it was in one of his earliest letters to her, but she remembers smiling into her pillow while she read it, stretched out across her bed at her Gran’s house, reading his elegant scrawl in the glow of the afternoon sun. She’s certain she can find it in the box she’s stashed all of his letters in under her bed in her dormitory.
“That would be so romantic,” Mabel says - gaze twinkling and distant, like she’s picturing the whole scene unfolding in her mind.
“Too bad there’s not a ball,” Sebastian sighs.
“Who says we need a ball?” Mabel asks mischievously. “I happen to know of a place in the castle where ballroom dancing happens all the time - eternally, one might even say.”

Summary
“There’s a - tradition. Around the school. I dunno if you’ve ever heard of it, erm - it’s - so, when a - when a couple is courting, and things are - going well, I suppose, they - they do this, er, thing -”
“Trading ties?” she interrupts.
Sebastian’s blood runs hot, and then cold, and then hot again. “Yeah,” he breathes. “How did you -”
“Poppy and Natty told me about it at the start of term,” she shrugs, and her broom rises and falls comically with the movement. “They go around your wrist, do they not?”
“They - yes. Yeah, usually - usually couples exchange ties, and - you’re right. They shrink them down and it goes around your wrist.”
“Your left wrist.” she says.
“Your left wrist,” Sebastian confirms.
“Sort of like a posy ring, right? Like a declaration of the intent to propose. That’s what Poppy said.”
He nods. His ears are burning, suddenly.
“Right, like a - yes. And there’s a merging charm, too, to seal the ends together, so - yes. A - a posy ring.”
Her brow furrows thoughtfully. “What do you suppose was the original purpose of the sealing charm? And who figured out it could be used for something like this?”

Summary
“You have to remember,” Richie says. “You have to remember, Eddie. They need you. He needs you. They can’t do it without you.”
Eddie furrows his brow. Everything about the conversation thus far has felt familiar, almost like hearing a once-beloved song for the first time in several years, but these words fall foreign on Eddie’s ears; he is very suddenly overcome with the distinct feeling that he’s no longer listening to Richie speak. He clenches his jaw against Richie’s shoulder, but does not open his eyes.
“There isn’t a lot of time,” not-Richie says. “It’s watching you. It’s coming for you. For both of you.”
The warning stirs something to life - fear, bone-deep and chilling. Eddie gets the feeling that he knows what it is, though he can’t quite grasp the memory; it slips through his fingers like sand in the breeze. The lights move faster, and Eddie does not dare open his eyes.
“You don’t deserve this,” not-Richie says mournfully. “You never did.”
“Why, then?” Eddie asks before he can stop himself.
Not-Richie is quiet for a long moment. “He needs you,” he says eventually, “and you’re braver than you think.”
