Adrian’s reply didn’t come out as words. It came out as a sharp inhale that stalled halfway in his chest when the crack split the air and the pitch noise warped into something wrong. His eyes snapped from the sky to the stands, to the glint of gold that had no business being that close, and then to Iris as her wand fell uselessly against the bench.

For one very unhelpful heartbeat, he did nothing heroic at all.

He just stared. Calculated. Too fast. Too close. Bad angle.

“Merlin,” he said flatly, maybe annoyed even.

Then he moved, yet again not heroic - but more like someone knocking over a chair in a hurry. Adrian awkwardly lunged forward and grabbed a fistful of her sleeve and yanked her with him, ducking hard behind the bench as the bludger screamed past where her head had been a second earlier.

The impact came anyway. Wood splintered somewhere above them, Adrian hit the floor very awkwardly, “Brilliant,” he hissed, half to himself, half to the world, still crouched too low and too close. “Absolutely textbook example of why I don’t like team sports.”

Only then did he look at her.

“Alright there?”
