Audrik!

[_torturedslyth_]

Tracey, still wearing her ball gown, headed toward Professor Dolohov's office. She knew he was probably livid- and he had every right to be. She'd been carefully guarding her thoughts around Audrik for the past few weeks, and she'd been right to do so- the look in his eyes when he separated Miles and herself at the dance was horrible.

She knocked on the door a couple of times and waited, expecting him to not answer it.

She put up a wall in her head. She was going to keep him out. And she was going to do a damn good job of it, too.
