Summary
Mike thought of shy, wide-eyed, twelve-year-old Will Byers—the way he’d looked at him that night, when everything changed. "It was a seven," he’d said, calm and straightforward. "The Demogorgon, it got me." Later, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin would learn that Will had run out to his shed that night, loaded a cartridge in Lonnie’s old gun with trembling fingers, and waited for the real Demogorgon to break through the door. Mike thought of that Will, the young Will: alone, terrified, and poised with a rifle in his hands. Waiting to be taken. Waiting for his childhood to be taken away.
He tried to reconcile that image with his Will. Fifteen-year-old Will Byers, broad-shouldered and all, sitting with him beneath the starlight with reminiscence swimming in his eyes. So much—too much—had changed.
________OR: Years ago, Will's deadbeat father taught him how to shoot a gun. Now, it's Will's turn to teach Mike.

Summary
Seventeen minutes left. In another minute he’ll need to add the dried nettles. Harry searches his desk. No nettles. The rock in his stomach grows heavier. He really doesn’t want to ask Malfoy for his, but he doesn’t want to mess up on the first day either. Harry takes a deep breath and turns to his deskmate.
“Can I use some–” Harry pauses.
Malfoy stares into his cauldron. His eyes are wet. Harry’s mouth goes dry.
“Are you…?”
Malfoy looks up at Harry like a frightened animal.
And this is how it starts.
Harry sees the split second decision being made right before Malfoy shoves him off his chair. He hits the floor hard. The whole class turns to the back of the room, mouths agape. Harry scrambles to sit upright.
“Are you mental?” Harry seethes.
Or: Harry doesn't want to think about the war and turns to fighting Malfoy to deal with it. Their agreement has unintended consequences for the Forbidden Forest.
