You're a tough girl. Pretty, yes, but tough. You're hard-as-nails and you pride yourself on it. You've been like the older sister to your four friends in the dorm; Lily, Dorcas, Mary, and Alice probably won't ever see you in a different light.

That's fine with you. You prefer looking after others than having others look after you. It would feel odd if that happened.

But Gideon… He's such a nonsensical bloke. He's got this way about him that makes his "hello" freeze you in your tracks.

That's what true magic's all about—Confounding the other without needing the spell.
