Chapter Seven: Roommates "Because that’s what he does for fun. He reads…” She emphasized the word, hoping they catch on to how extraordinarily nerdy and unsexy Xander really was. |

Chapter Twelve: In the Dancefloor "Admit it," said Albus with a wink. "You rather sit here and her us talk about this, than over with the girls and hear them talking about babies and marriage." |

Chapter Thirteen: Professor Reagan's Offer He wondered what would happen if he smashed one of the pots on his head. |

Chapter Seventeen: Heated Arguments with Slytherin Boys The whole thing was nauseating, and Lily suddenly wished that feelings, much like shoes and clothes, were things one got to pick and choose. |

Chapter Eighteen: Hannah She nodded. “Apparently Clarifiers are good at holding grudges because they’re still looking for that child, and anyone in that age group who survived have all but fled the country, seeking refuge elsewhere.” |

Chapter Nineteen: An Unexpected Visitor Lily laughed humorlessly, resting her back on the wall and pursing her lips as if he was something incredibly dull she’d have to go through in order to be allowed to go about her way. She crossed her arms across her chest. “Go on then,” she said morosely. “I don’t have all night.” |

Chapter Twenty-Five: Homecoming Albus nose flared. “How very strategic of you, dad. Sometimes I almost forget you are an Auror first and foremost.” |

Chapter Twenty Six: Tight Situations Greenleaf took her glasses off, placed them on the table, and rubbed her eyes, as if all of these complaintments were well above her pay grade. |
