Snapshots of a life in five seconds:
One— A high-pitched scream, a cold laugh, a flash of emerald light.
Two— A large, friendly man bearing chocolate cake and fantastical words, the smell of the sea.
Three— The cool weight of a stone dropping in a forest, the rustle of leaves and a step into the unknown.
Four— The unexpected sight of pale eyes and a pointy chin behind a florist’s counter, a stammered apology, the brush of fingers over the till.
Five— White roses climbing a simple wooden trellis, the dazzling light of Draco’s smile, two golden rings, one promise.
