Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

Summary
“When you focus on the unknown—you create possibility.”
Suddenly, in that endlessness there was a spark, like a matchhead’s figment. Tom raised his chin, eyes surveying Dion with that same scrutiny she had seen so many times; and the Knights, well, they observed as they always had. “Alchemy transcends reason, but follows one law.”
“The law of exchange,” answered Dorian.
“You have to give something of equal value to get,” Antonin continued, mouth split into a grin. “What d’you think Flamel gave to get that precious stone?”
═════════════
Every day she sees them, and every day they pass without a second glance. In her sixth year, Dion Seaver is determined to play pretend and level the score, to immerse herself in the life of The Knights of Walpurgis through the notorious Alchemy Club. Their chase for knowledge of the impossible is intoxicating; perfect, perplexing Tom Riddle laid at the center of it. Between secret experiments and her own ghostly ailment, Dion is thrown into circumstances that jeopardise her greatest principles.

Summary
There is a clearing with a stand of trees at its centre in the deep of the Kingswood. No roads or paths may access it; the forest surrounding too dense, tangled roots as large as dwellings. And yet, to walk three hundred paces due south one will find a lodge. It is where Rhaenyra’s heart resides. The quiet, ragged pieces that remain.

Summary
“Are you implying that I am responsible for Voldemort’s actions?” Dumbledore’s voice had finally turned cold.
“No, I’m saying you’re responsible for neglecting a young boy! You treated him with nothing but suspicion and coldness, and when he grew up suspicious and cold you took that as confirmation that you were always right about him.”
“I assume you have a reason for laying these heavy charges at my feet,” said Dumbledore quietly.
She sighed. “I just think… maybe you should take your own advice and try to solve this problem with love, not destruction. You don’t have to destroy a Horcrux. You can heal it.”
“You speak of remorse,” Dumbledore didn’t sound impressed. “If I may, I see very little chance of convincing Voldemort to feel empathy for the things he has done –”
“Not Voldemort,” she interrupted. “Tom.”
“You are suggesting that we use Voldemort’s first Horcrux to reanimate sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle.” Dumbledore's tone left much to be desired.- Language:
