If this wasn't starting to become as unsettling as it was starting to, Roger might have quipped about how he could take care of himself and didn't need a big strong man like Fred to walk ahead of him. But he seemed to be more experienced in this than he was, so he kept quiet and let it be done Fred's way.
The unsettling feeling in the pit of his stomach started to grow as more marks started to appear in the dust as the continued along the trail. What had gone on here? Stopping in front of the door, Roger kept his wand ready and in front of him. "Cover me and I'll open it?" He wasn't being brave or anything, it was just that Fred was likely to know more defensive spells than him.
