Summary
If you ever come to harm again, think of me and I shall come, he had told her.
There had been snow; cold and shining like diamonds under the sun; and thick, pearly rivulets of bloods staining it.
(A body lying just out of a child's sight and a dagger presented to small and trembling hands.)
Do you promise?, the child had asked, taking the dagger he offered her.
He had nodded, solemn, I promise.

'Why didn't you come sooner?'
'What do you mean?'
Morgana keeps her gaze away from her. 'You've always known we're sisters and yet you let me stay in Camelot. With Uther,' she adds, a shiver running through her.

Summary
Loud footsteps fall in sync to his rapidly beating heart. Unable to look away, Stiles sees Scott fly out of the house out of the corner of his eye. “This is too dangerous,” Scott urges, saying what Stiles is thinking – trusting Theo with his father’s life is like throwing sticks into the fire hoping they won’t burn. And what if he doesn’t find the nemeton? What if he can’t uphold his side of the deal? “We’ll find another way.”
But when? How? What other way is there?
Stiles sets his jaw. Theo banks on him moving heaven and hell to protect his father. There’s only one way this conversation can end. “I’ll do it.”

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Stiles/Theo and Stiles&Lydia and Stiles being finally done with Scott? It's a treat!
----“For all I know, you could’ve been dead,” Clarke says, and in spite of the finality to her voice, a dreadful sadness clings to it.
Stiles glances at Hayden out of the corner of his eye but she is looking out of the window again. He follows her example yet puts his hand on hers remembering how the simple gesture of placing a hand on Derek’s shoulder has helped him. For a moment, Hayden doesn’t move, doesn’t even react, and he’s about to pull his hand back when she grabs it, squeezing tightly. Stiles squeezes back.

Bookmarker's Notes
John comes rounding back into the kitchen once the boys are gone, eyeing the pair at the top of the steps. “Should I be concerned about that?” he asks the other adult.
Pretending to hem-and-haw at the question, Peter waves a hand. “Not yet.”
A soft snort is his response but no further questioning.
“That used to be his name,” John says casually as he helps Peter set all the food out on the table.

Summary
Regulus sat up, unaware of his surroundings, and his mind went to water. Not just water, but drowning—hands scratching his body and violating him, pulling him further until he had to take in the dirty fluid to his abused lungs.
So, finding Dorcas Meadowes staring at him with a hard glare from the opposite seat of the Hogwarts Express took him by surprise. One of the most powerful wizards in the Order sat in front of him, and all Regulus could think about was a major sense of déjà vu.
This had happened once before.

Regulus gets another chance at life <33
James Potter is super obvious and I live for it.
Marlene & Dorcas are good older sisters.-----
“What are we, then?” James asked, and his motives were becoming strikingly clear. “If we aren’t friends.”“I’ll leave that to your imagination,” Regulus replied, leaning back in his seat. James scoffed.
“Right, I’ll just imagine us as an old married couple—”
“Imagination!” Regulus emphasized. “Which means in your head, Potter!”
James laughed, and Regulus curled up a smile without realizing.

Ginny, meanwhile, began to giggle to herself, having edged over to the ghoul to pet its back while Percy was distracted, "You're Percy's familiar. You know what they say the type of familiar shows about someone's personality."
"Ah. Actually that's a rather common myth," Xenophilius started, and Percy felt a little less awful, "It's the changes that the bond imposes that reflect the witch or wizard's personality, rather than the initial species, which is somewhat random in selection."
As one, the three Weasleys and one Potter in the room looked at the awkward, predatory mess of sharp edges and too-long limbs with varying degrees of unease.
