17. Imperio
Dedicated to IBeJenn's Bianca

Simon had received Bianca's coded cry for help and had literally run up all seven flights of stairs as fast as he could. When he made it to the top, he continued running down the corridor. He was on an adrenaline rush. He didn't need to breathe. He slowed down when he found a body lying on the icy seventh floor corridor. His blue eyes widened when he realised who it was. "Bianca!" he cried as he ran over towards her. She didn't move at all. She didn't even look like she was breathing. Gently picking her up, he felt for a pulse, trying to determine if she had simply been knocked out or if she was dead. His heart beat faster. Perhaps he was too late. He continued to search for a pulse.

Could he use magic? Who knew? Maybe she was under an enchantment like the Imperius Curse.

He leaned down, bringing himself closer to her rosebud lips. Next thing, he knew her eyes flung open and she smirked at him. "Honestly, Watson, if you wanted to plant one on me, just ask."

"Err.. I wasn't planning on doing that. Don't be silly, Bianca.... Adler"
