A series of magi-notes written and passed between Blair Thornrose and Devlin Ross while they were in high school.
Blair: I aced that potion theory test. What about you?
Devlin: When you say “ace,” what exactly do you mean?
Blair: I mean 100. Read it and weep. All around the world magical fireworks have been set off in my honor.
But I must be humble. So this is the only time that I will make you feel inadequate in my supreme presence.
And what about you? What’d you make? Don’t worry, I won’t gloat. Too much.
Devlin: 102.
Blair: I hate you.
Devlin: Is that so? Do you promise to take all that hate out on my mouth later?
Blair: You are the devil.
Devlin:  See you at our usual time? Usual spot?
Blair: You mean behind the bleachers of the Witch ball pit?
Devlin: Most romantic place on earth.
Blair:
***
Devlin: Blair Thornrose, I do believe that I could kiss you forever.
Blair: Don’t say things like that.
Devlin: Things like what?
Blair: Things you don’t mean.
Devlin: I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but you own my heart.
Blair: Hmm. A unique thing to be in possession of. I’ve never owned someone else’s heart before. What do you think those go for on the black market? How much could I get for it?
Devlin: You are truly diabolical…in the best way possible.
Blair: But I do know what you mean.
Devlin: Do you now?
Blair: Stop smiling like you’ve won.
Devlin: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Blair: Always so smug...listen, there’s something I need to tell you.
Devlin: You’ve already mentioned how handsome I am. As much as I love hearing it, you don’t have to tell me every day.
Blair: This isn’t a joke.
Devlin: Then what is it?
Blair: Not over magi-notes. In person. It’s personal.
Devlin: So serious. What you do to my emotions, Miss Thornrose. Can whatever this thing is that you need to tell me be done while kissing?
Blair: Maybe when we come up for air.
Devlin: Blasphemy. But, I can’t wait to find out what it is.
***
Blair: I destroyed that warding exam.
Devlin: You did better than me. I didn’t study.
Blair: Why not? And don’t say it’s because you don’t need to. I know that you look over material. You might be brilliant, but even brilliant minds have to study every now and then. So what’s up? Why didn’t you do good?
Devlin: It’s nothing.
Blair: Which means it’s something. Is it about…?
Devlin: No, it doesn’t have anything to do with that.
Blair: You sure?
Devlin: More than sure. Promise. Look, I won’t be able to meet between fourth and fifth today. I’ve got some stuff going on. But see you tomorrow?
Blair: Sure.
***
Devlin: I’m so sorry.
Devlin: Blair?
Devlin: Blair?
Devlin: ????
Blair: Exactly what are you sorry for? That you were sucking on her face, or that you told me that I owned your heart? Which one, Devlin? What are you sorry for?
Blair: ???
Devlin: I’m sorry that you had to find out that way.
Blair: Find out THAT way? By seeing you with her in the same spot where you take me? You didn’t even have the decency to hide it. You are scum, Devlin. SCUM.
If you’d wanted OUT of us, you should’ve told me instead of going behind my back.
Devlin: I’m sorry. It’s all I can say.
Blair: What’s worse is that I trusted you. How could you say that?
Devlin: Say what?
Blair: You know what.
Devlin: No I don’t.
Blair: Whatever. I hate you, Devlin Ross. From this moment forward, I will hate you forever.
