Maine watched as Leo's face darkened, and his steely eyes narrowed. He was certainly attractive, Maine couldn't deny it. Why he was still single, Maine had no idea.
She noticed his concerned stare at her wrist and realized that she was rubbing it again. She stopped immediately when he asked if she was okay. Double question indeed. "It's just... I started rubbing my wrist when he burned them with the flaming rope spell."
She wrote a couple more sentences out, nearly ending the last paragraph. Then, she pulled herself together. Of course she'll be okay. "I... Leo, I'll be fine. I never needed him, anyway." she smiled weakly, finishing the report in her elegant script and handing it to Leo, then pulling the next file off the top of his pile. "Do you have any siblings, Leo?" she asked, starting on another report. She needed a change of topic anyway. Flaming rope spell? If this guy wasn't already getting in big ministry trouble, Leo would have liked to try that spell on him. There was no reason to harm someone smaller than you, someone you were charged with the protection of, or someone who hadn't harmed you first. Maine had had a rough time, Leo was just beginning to realize the extent of it.
Leo finished his file, and began on the next one. A broom gone haywire? Not jinxed? How come he hadn't heard of this, yet the paperwork was sitting in front of him? That would have to be checked out later. For the time being, he set it aside, and moved on to the next one.
He smiled as she informed him that she'd never needed that guy anyway. She hadn't, but would she be able to move past the fact that a guy had abused her for over four years? That had been the real question. "I have a little sister," he replied to her question. "She's twelve. What about you?"
