Alice was shocked when Bellatrix pulled her hand away. She stifled a gasp but tried to play it off. It was times like this that Bellatrix scared her. She always felt silly afterwards, but Alice couldn't help it. "Sorry," she muttered, not even sure what she had done.
She shrugged. "I just…want to make sure you were all right. I saw…what happened." Taking a step closer to her, Alice hoped that Bellatrix would clam down a little.
"What happened?" Alice prompted gently as she rested her hand lightly on Bella's back.
