MARGUERITE BLUMENTHAL BELIEVES IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. Or, at least, she sort of does. Her dad always says that he fell in love with her mum the moment he first saw her. That all it took was one look and he knew he was a goner. That from that moment onwards, there was no one else and no other future for him — and there never would be — because somehow he just knew. And sometimes, Marguerite thinks she can relate to that feeling. The first time she held her little sister Daisy, she loved her. The first time she tried Coco Pops, she loved them. The first time she listened to Joni Mitchell, she loved that. And the first time she saw Micah Vance, Marguerite loved him.
Sort of.
Okay, maybe love is a strong word. But Micah Vance is, perhaps, the most beautiful boy she's ever seen. She's known him since her first year at Hogwarts, when the two of them were sorted into the same house, and she's had a crush on him ever since. Micah Vance is all golden — golden hair, golden eyes, golden tie around his neck — and even though Robert Frost once said that nothing gold can stay, Marguerite thinks that Micah Vance might be the exception to that rule. He's just so handsome, especially when he smiles — and he's almost always smiling. She once overheard someone say that the Vance family has Veela blood in their veins and Marguerite wouldn't doubt it for a second; not when Micah walks around looking like an actual Greek god.
