    Summary

    An unexpected encounter with Ilya Rozanov - and a newly changed perspective of him - leads Yuna into a series of conversations with both halves of the rivalry - and slowly into both an unexpected friendship and a new understanding of what the 'rivalry' entails.
    Or: (5 times Yuna reached out to Ilya, +1 time he reached out to her first; 5 times Yuna tried to get Shane to talk to her, +1 time she didn't need to.)

    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    Sarah
    Does anyone have the number for Shane's girl from Boston? I feel bad that they've been seeing each other for this long and we've never added her here.

    Jackie
    Oh good point! Let me ask Hayden.

    Jackie has added Lily to the conversation

    Lily

    Or: Ilya Rozanov is, apparently, one of the girls.

    Summary

    Intention is the foundation of all magic, and that includes the potions brewing.

    For every potion that contained fairy wings, it was easy to notice a significant improvement in its efficacy if the wings were given willingly by the fairies. That was just a basic concept that every mediocre potion master knew already. How that same logic could be applied with other creatures, that was Severus’ discovery.

    Unfortunately, there was no way to prove his theory, since it's impossible to talk to animals. But what if he tried anyway?

    Or

    The one where Severus Snape asks for help.
