    Summary

    “And have you made this entire call without once vexing or offending poor Miss Ghafa?”
    Captain Rietveld looked coolly at him. Inej bent her head over her sewing to hide her smiling, since she was not sure she would not laugh outright. She had not thought that Wylan would deliberately provoke the Captain, but perhaps his deference to his father did not reach anyone else.
    “I am sure that is not for me to decide,” said the Captain, “But I own I have been perfectly well behaved.”
    “Does he lie, Miss Ghafa?”
    “No— he has been quite tolerable company,” said Inej. “If not quite a perfect gentleman.”
    “You wound me, Miss Ghafa.”
    “I suspect I do not, Captain.”

    Summary

    On her first trip back to Ketterdam, Inej learns three things about Kaz Brekker.

    The first: Kaz Brekker makes a terrible sick patient.
    The second: It has been nine years since Kaz was last hugged.
    The third: Pet names are a powerful weakness.

    Or, Kaz faces the consequences of being a poorly socialised half-feral canal rat, and Inej is having none of it.

    Summary

    Be on guard, my Lord, writes Abraxas Malfoy, the new transfer student intends to kill you.

    Except Abraxas has terrible penmanship, and kill and kiss look awfully similar in shoddy cursive.

    Naturally, things escalate. A lot.

    Summary

    There was another student here.

    Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.

    It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.

    Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.

    This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.
