The transformation Angelina's face was terrifying. Verity was used to her as a Friend-of-the-Weasleys, as the Quidditch player who wanted a coaching job only if she didn't have to be too professorial. This was an Angelina Johnson she hadn't seen before. "Please," she said again, "step back. I'll come."
She wasn't sure what she was going to do yet, though. There wasn't anywhere she could go if she ran; they were all locked in a bubble! But while Verity liked and even trusted some wizards, wizarding authorities were something entirely else. Not that Johnson was giving her many choices. "I can walk," she insisted. If Angelina would just keep a little distance!
