Arianna Dumbledore is unsure. (sweetflower) wrote in fourteenshades, |
Under different, less confined circumstances, Arianna may have found it in herself to laugh at Albus's joke. As it was, she felt as if she had nowhere to go. All she wanted was to retreat a few steps. Not far! Just take a few steps backwards or towards Albus, but she would not remove her hands from Miss Helga's until the lady released her. "I am fine, Miss," she said quietly. Her voice did not waiver, though it was soft. She lowered her head and managed a bit of a curtsy, all the while she plead with Miss Hufflepuff in her mind, and with Albus. Please let go. Please. "With all due respect, you are not the same. No one is ever the same when they leave and return. They all change in one way or another." She looked at Albus again. Please.
