Chapter 1: Cracks in the Foundation - I

Chapter Text

 

Entry I — Logical Dismissal

 

He is not a threat.

Just a boy with a scar and a Savior complex. I have defeated worse.

He flinched at a boggart. He cried in the forest. This is no equal — just a child the world is foolish enough to believe in.

I am not concerned.

 


 

Entry II — Interference

 

He interferes. Constantly. Meddles in things he doesn’t understand and walks away triumphant.

There is no strategy. No plan. Just faith. I find it revolting.

And yet... effective.

...I am beginning to find it irritating

 


 

Entry III — The Smile

 

He smiled at me today. After a duel.

A real smile. Stupid and open and... unafraid.

As though I were a nuisance. As though I were—what—teachable?

I’ve never wanted to hex a mouth shut so badly. Or trace the shape of it.

No. Ignore that line. Burn it!
