"You know what I think?" Harry leaned across the table. "I think you're afraid. You don't take risks like us Gryffindors." He scoffed. "Please, you Gryffindors are all wand-waving and no spell." Harry grinned, settling back into his seat. "Not me. I always follow through." "Prove it." Harry stood up and walked around the table. He leaned over Draco, one hand no his chair and the other on the table. Their faces were a mere inch apart, so close that Draco could see flecks of brown in his emerald eyes. "I don't see any follow-through," Draco taunted. And then Harry kissed him. Harry's hands fell to his shoulders so quickly that Draco teetered on his seat. Draco reached up and grabbed Harry's shirt in an attempt to catch his balance which resulted in the two boys falling to the ground with Harry on top. Harry's cheeks were red with embarrassment as he tried to get up. All he managed to do was knee Draco in the leg. Draco put his hands on Harry's hips. "Stop. Let me." In one fluid motion, Draco flipped them around so he was kneeling above Harry. "And for future reference," Draco smirked, bringing his lips down to brush against his. "I'm always on top."

Neuvilette, the charismatic and enigmatic judge (or iudex) in the city's judicial system, is known for his sharp mind and an unshakeable commitment to justice. His infatuation with Wriothesley stems from an intellectual and emotional fascination. He admires Wriothesley's audacity and brilliance, viewing him as both a tragic hero and a formidable adversary. Neuvilette is drawn to the complexity of Wriothesley's character and the moral ambiguity of his actions, finding himself increasingly obsessed with the idea of understanding and perhaps redeeming him.
