synopsis
“So—what are you suggesting? Friends?” She says the word like it tastes bitter, and it does.
Dorcas’ hand tightens on hers. “A truce. We work together to keep our houses from each other’s throats for as long as it takes to finish the season.”
“And you think that could actually work?”
“We’ll make it work.” Dorcas leans closer, until she’s all Marlene can see. “I want the chance to beat you.”
—
Or, Marlene grows into who she is meant to be, which comes with a side of being disastrously attracted to her Quidditch rival, Dorcas Meadowes. But when the conflict between their houses spirals out of control, they’re forced to work together, or else risk being kicked off their teams. What could go wrong?
