Su jolted at Kevin's sudden explosion. It hadn't been expected in the least, even for all that she was goading him on. For a moment she looked hurt, but the expression quickly hardened again.
"I know that," she said sharply. Her arms crossed over her chest, but her foot was tapping feverishly. "And I intend on doing no differently."
The words sounded big, and to most degrees Su meant every one. Before this year she knew she had the skills to duel within the controlled environment of a club or classroom, and certainly to defend herself. But not that she would ever have it in her to truly attack someone. This had changed; Su felt absolutely sure of it now. If she ran across a Death Eater, all she could conceive of doing was attacking first. It scared her to think of it, but part of her wanted to hurt them, as badly as she could.
At the touch of Kevin's hand on her arms, Su frowned but fell still. She looked up at her friend, and felt truly sorry that this had to be happening. "I can't just leave. It's not right."
