Thank Merlin she was at home. Oliver smiled and followed her inside, not really sure how to break the topic to Alicia. Truth of the matter was that the thing Oliver was about to ask of her was nothing short of outrageous. He had no right to risk Alicia's safety that way but did he honestly have the right to leave that girl he'd met to fend for herself? It had been sheer luck that she made it so far without getting herself killed...or worse.
That settled it. Remaining uncharacteristically serious, Oliver put a hand on Alicia's arm. "I need your help. I found a Muggleborn girl on the run and she looks as if she hasn't had a decent night's sleep in Merlin knows how long."
