Summary
The week before Harry Potter’s eleventh birthday passes with nothing whatsoever out of the ordinary. His birthday is a non-event, the same as it has been every year for nearly a decade.
Petunia Dursley breathes a sigh of relief.
No letters from the unmentionable school are dropped through their door, no owls - nor cats! - keep watch over their house, and she will never know that if things had gone to plan, her husband would be forced to spend a back-achingly long Wednesday night camped in front of their boarded-up letter slot.
All is well at No. 4 Privet Drive, and the Dursleys couldn’t be much happier. The less said about Harry Potter, the better.

Summary
Legolas looked at the Dwarf to dislike, when first the Fellowship left Rivendell, and was satisfied with everything he saw. To the memory-shadow of Tauriel that lived yet in his mind, he listed the faults one after another. Did you truly love such a one? he asked her silently, disdainful.

Summary
It had never occurred to Jaime once, in the three solid months he’d spent in the pen, that Robb Stark could make his imprisonment worse by giving him a bath, a warm bed, and some decent food to eat.

Summary
“When the Night’s King rides,” the giant said, each word slow as cold honey pouring, “the King in the North must answer. The King in the North…whose name is Stark.”

Summary
Jaime didn’t like the Starks at all. He didn’t like their earnestness and honesty and prudishness, he didn’t like their cold heavy-walled castle, he didn’t like their frozen block of a realm, and he especially didn’t like Robb Stark, who had saved his son’s life and been kind to him and got him to sleep, and what business of his was it to have done any of those things?
