#41 - The Order of The Crow
Gang name: The Order of The Crow
Working title/description: something wicked this way comes
Synopsis:
Kaz and Inej meet as Hogwarts first years and become fast acquaintances and allies and then something more. Through school dances, detentions, quidditch matches and dark magic, they have each other’s backs.
A Kanej-focused friends-to-lovers Hogwarts AU that details their lives from first to seventh year, depicting Kaz’s struggle with Minister of Magic Pekka Rollins and the ghosts in Inej’s closet. Slytherin house isn’t ready for these two.
Short excerpt:
“I’ll try to see if there’s anything I can do,” Genya said. Kaz nodded at her as she left the room before biting his lip and dragging his body up into a sitting position.
“You always do,” Inej stepped out from the darkness behind the Infirmary window and scanned his prone form. “What did you do, Kaz?” she whispered.
He knew she knew exactly what he’d done. Inej knew everything.
“It was a mistake,” he groaned. He needed to lay down again—Inej watched as he settled himself down on his back. “But it won’t happen again.”
“So you’re going to stop? You know you shouldn’t be—”
“No, you’re going to stop going to the Restricted Section?” Inej asked hopefully, leaning against the wall. Kaz laughed in his salty rasp.
“It could happen again, Kaz. And the consequences … she can’t heal your leg.”
He shrugged, but he knew Inej saw the tensing of his shoulders at that truth. It had already encased his heart, but he’d learnt to live with pain a while ago. “Sometimes we have to make sacrifices.”
“Not these kinds of sacrifices,” she pressed. He could see her eyes in the moon’s light. They were violent. He wondered how she could feel that much for him. “You’ll have a limp your whole life. The next time—”
“People always underestimate cripples,” he reminded her. She stepped closer to him. She was just above him, so close to him and out of reach.
“Please. You need to be careful. Promise me.”
Kaz should have ignored her, should have told her that what he did on his own time didn’t matter, that she didn’t control what he did with his vengeance. But that look in her eyes …
“I promise,” he said, tilting his head down, staring resolutely at his cast-encased knee. When he looked up, Inej was gone.
