There was something in the air, like the the heavy feeling before the rain. Susan made her way quickly around the edge of the building, throwing a glance behind her to make sure she hadn’t been followed.

“I think it worked,” she said out loud, seemingly to herself, but she hoped he was listening.

There was nothing about this situation that Billy liked.

 Adam was powerful, vastly more powerful than he had thought before, and though Billy would never admit to fearing him, he did fear losing everything that he had ever made. He feared becoming a nothing. Becoming a speck of dust on someone’s map.

He feared something, and that was enough.

It was hard to tell whether she was actually cutting the distance between them. Sometimes it seemed like he was like those impossibly growing hallways with no end, but she seemed to find some kind of edge this time. 

She looked at him, carefully, and she knew he could stop her. If he did then she’d go no further. She raised a hand between them, reached for the fractured image of his face.

Her hand passed through.

“Isn’t the whole point of us, that you are somebody...at least to me.”

So, it had to mean something and she was determined.

Alright, this was getting out of hand. Enjoyment was one thing, but he couldn’t be serious.

Mara Jade raised an eyebrow.

He expected plenty of things from the daughter of one of the most dangerous wizards ever, but her trust hadn’t been one of them. Not when he had spent his adolescence battling her father, his adulthood chasing what was left of his followers.

But Harry wasn’t going to discount what she said; he couldn’t explain how he knew, but he could see it in the lines of her face, the look in her eyes that she meant it.
