Excerpt:
They moved with a grace neither had suspected the other possessed. Truth be told, neither of them had ever given the other much thought before now. They were too different. Male and female, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, blood-conscious and open-minded, but here and now they had at last found some common ground.
They circled one another, blades ringing together then sweeping apart again. Her movements made him think of a dancer. She was effortless -- instinctive -- and he found himself envying her. His own muscles ached from their long hours of practice, but if she felt any pain, she hid it well. Her face wore only its usual expression of detached serenity. She might have been dancing with her own shadow.
