She wasn’t talking to them, just looking at Conor as she walked away.
No help from Super Poodle today,” Sully said, still laughing. “Lucky for you, Sully,” Harry said, speaking for the first time.
Conor still hadn’t turned back to face them, but he could tell Harry wasn’t laughing at Sully’s joke.
Conor watched Lily until she was gone. “Hey, look at us when we’re talking to you,” Sully said,

Don’t touch him,” Harry said, calm and low, but so ominously that Sully immediately stepped back.
O’Malley and I have an understanding,” Harry said. “I’m the only one who touches him. Isn’t that right?
Conor waited for a moment and then slowly nodded. That did seem to be the understanding.
Harry, his face still blank, his eyes still locked on Conor’s, stepped up close to him.
