The screen on Harry’s wall flashed a warning red over Brussels. His desk was a disaster zone of scrolls and manifests, all because some idiot fucked up a shipment of darkness powder. The only light came from his desk lamp, throwing a harsh spotlight on Fleur as she bent over the other side of the massive wood surface. “The Brussels portkey logs.

Harry had been there for hours. His notes, filled with clean rows of numbers underlined twice, covered half the library table.

The sword clanged away and I sank to my knees, then flattened onto my back. Pain roared through cracked ribs and a jaw that felt like loose gravel. Every breath came thin and sharp. I shut my eyes, tried to think past the hurt, failed. A chime cut through the ringing in my ears. I blinked and a bright panel burst open above me, spinning icons like a casino reel. Pick…
