54. Brave
Hogwarts

Selina could feel the cold silver across her throat. It tickled and played with her skin. She should have been scared by the contact, she was unafraid. This was her destiny- she always knew it.

She closed her eyes and awaited the person who stood behind her to finish their deed. Time seemed to press on with the silver not yet finishing it's purpose. The the silver bearer was playing with her.

Selina whimpered, "Just do it already."

"You make it very hard for someone to give you a present."

Selina felt the clasp of the necklace fasten.

"Happy anniversary."
