After parting, they clasp their right hands together. Harry’s hand is tiny in his. Corvin places the tip of his wand on their joined hands. He asks for the vows as they were prepared, with the exact wording that Harry made him practice and learn by heart. Sirius agrees to the questions posed to him. Harry does the same. Ribbons of fire twist and interlock around their hands, more of them flowing from Corvin’s wand with each affirmation of their vow.
