Crossbowmen, however, were more effective as their steel quarrels passed through shields and the bodies beneath, sometimes piercing...

The window was open.
I had never opened it. Aunt Puff hadn't either. Had Minerva?

I gulped.
Ludwig covered his eyes with his paws.
Minerva had vanished."

You awake expectantly. To your eager hands the body you occupy this morning is unfamiliar, though gratifyingly firm and sleek.

You find a mirror. Narcissist and voyeur, you pose and gaze in awe. Exceptional you are, yes, but unsatisfied. You feel compelled to soak up just a few more carefully selected souls.
