He sighed. Of course she would argue. So would he have at the same age and time. A brief grin flashed across his face as he watched her. She was so like her mother and grandmother. "Wait."

"Lily, listen to me. Standard operations for an Auror faced with this is exactly what I am doing now. No Auror who has had this kind of shock is released back to duty. You didn't fail us or yourself. You were hit by the sudden influence of a double dose of Dementor power... and you were no doubt at least partially their target, for they hate me, and you are my daughter, in whom I am most proud." He touched her face, lightly.
"Just come back to the Infirmary, and rest, take some water and chocolate. You've had a big shock and need a short rest at least. If you feel better later, and can show me that, you can come out. Okay?"
