Summary
Rory has a part-time gig at the local coffee shop in a Pennsylvania small town to help make ends meet; journalism isn't exactly a lucrative profession. Today, there's a man encroaching upon her sacred space, reading Anais Nin and interrupting Rory's peace and quiet with smoldering gazes and the temptation of beard burn.

Summary
“Hi,” she begins, tone casual because that’s what they are—casual. Or so he insists. “Shouldn’t you be resting before it starts up again?”
He draws to a halt in front of her, chest heaving. She lifts her butterbeer between them, brows raised invitingly.
“Thirsty?”
He ignores the offer, eyes burning into hers with unblinking intensity.
“What’re you playing at?” he grits out, the words low and just for her. With his back to the room, no one else can see the way his entire being is radiating displeasure.
But that’s the way it’s always been. A secret between them, no one else the wiser.
She takes the sip instead, eyeing him over the rim.
“You’re the one playing,” she remarks lightly. “I’m just on the sidelines.”

Summary
Hermione Granger hadn’t planned on becoming a mother. Not yet. Not like this.
She didn’t have a partner. She didn’t have a nursery. Just a damp little flat on the outskirts of London and a life filled with deadlines and duty.
There had been no bump. No warning. Just a cry in a too small bathroom and the weight of a newborn placed against her chest — warm, wriggling, and impossibly real.
Now, with her world irrevocably altered, Hermione must navigate the unthinkable: a child born in mystery, a past blurred by heartbreak and circumstance, and a future that’s arrived far too soon.
She doesn’t know who the father is. She doesn’t know how to do this.
But as her child breathes steadily in her arms, one truth cuts through the chaos with perfect clarity:
They are loved.

Summary
It’s immediately clear that he’s not harmed. The gloves have absorbed all the bone-breaking violence the ball is capable of.
“See?” Charlie hollers, voice clear across the frozen lake. “They can take it. Now, come on. Don’t break this time.”
Draco considers falling off his broom, just to see if Charlie will make that sound again when catching him.
“Show off,” he shouts back.
