“Are you sure, Dawn?” Toby’s voice was thick with worry. Dawn turned away, avoiding her cousin’s gaze.

“I must. As the leader and protector, it is my duty. Don’t tell anyone else. They have a pureblood as well.” Toby remained silent, and Dawn wished she could tell him. But the risk was far too high.
