Will looked at Lily, then to his sister and her husband, then his mom and dad.
Everyone smiled and looked on with excitement.
Will sighed and turned his attention to the hat.
He looked into it.
Something looked back.
Eyes.
Unblinking yellow eyes looked back at him.
Will felt himself begin to shake.
The whole family was watching.
He could feel their eyes on him and could hear them murmuring with anticipation.
He could sense their smiles and their expectations and their complete unawareness of what was happening.
He shut his eyes and reached into the hat.
The hand grabbed him.
It was gentle this time, almost tender.
The fingers interlaced with his, guided his hand deeper into the impossible interior of the hat, then pressed something cold and metallic into his palm.
And now pull it out, Lily said.
Her voice was flat.
Show everyone.
Will pulled his hand out of the hat.
He looked at what he was holding for a moment without understanding it.
