Mione
Malfoid
Porter
Corvina
Anything said aloud in the Gravenhollow chapel binds at dawn. Mione, alone in it at four in the morning with a catalogue and no sleep, says what she would give to stop being the sensible one. By six o'clock the stones have written it down, three witnesses have been named, and the vow wants keeping before the light comes up.
The document gets them into the room. The countdown means they cannot leave. The sex is what happens because they are both there and neither of them is any good at talking.
