It felt good to have her near, even if they were in the middle of a burning house. The bubble head charm around his head kept him from inhaling the smoke and ash and he wanted to do the same for her, but she was pushing them forward and he didn't have the time to stop them to cast the charm. Once they had a door in front of them Lee moved to try and help open it glad that the knob was not scalding hot from the flames so very close to them.
Moving to turn to her she was pushing him away but not moving herself and he grasped her wrist, "Ver- what are you- come on!" It didn't phase him that she'd been in the middle of a statement, he needed to get her away from the building!
