‘14 Veela kidnapped over the course of a year.’ Harry thought as he looked at the folders spread out in front of him.
‘If they were just after Veela why leave the seven year old from the third family, and why kill the 16 year old from the tenth.’ That’s when he noticed something.
‘13 not 14. 13 Veela all to turn 13 shortly after they were kidnapped. If that’s the case why take Gabrielle. She was already 14… but she hadn’t reached maturity yet and didn’t look any older.’
More anxiety began to build in Harry. The only thing he could think of for 13 Veela turning 13 over … 13 months was a very ambitious ritual. ‘If they figure out Gabby is too old they won’t have a use for her and kill her.’
