Harry stood between Anton and Sully, as ever, his arms crossed, staring.
Conor stared back. Neither of them moved for so long that Sully and Anton quieted down.
They started to look uncomfortable as the staring contest continued,
wondering what Harry was going to do next. Conor wondered, too.
“I think I’ve worked you out, O’Malley,” Harry finally said. “I think I know what it is you’re asking for.”
“You’re gonna get it now,” Sully said. He and Anton laughed, bumping fists.
Conor couldn’t see any teachers out of the corner of his eye,
so he knew Harry had chosen a moment when they could bother him unseen.
Conor was on his own. Harry stepped forward, still calmly.
“Here is the hardest hit of all, O’Malley,” Harry said. “Here is the very worst thing I can do to you.”
He held out his hand, as if asking for a handshake. He was asking for a handshake.
Conor responded almost automatically, putting out his own hand and shaking Harry’s before he even thought about what he was doing.
