Stop. Hold up. Hold on.
...she lifted up the edge of her shirt to see the damage.
"I wasn't saving the gnome. I was afraid I'd get detention for killing it," Zahra admitted, totally sincere. That's exactly what she was doing.
When Zahra stopped, Toby stopped. He stared back out towards the grounds when the Gryffindor checked her war wounds, but couldn't help but to look back at her when she spoke again.
"You were afraid?" he teased, grinning at her, and hopefully taking her mind off of any pain with this gentle ribbing.
"I thought Gryffindors weren't afraid of anything, and aren't you, like, the alpha Gryffindor?"
She didn't need to answer that. Toby knew. Everyone knew. Zahra could give Alexa Cambridge a run for her money.
Even though he had tried to tease, Toby was still way too Hufflepuff to keep it up and cover his concern.
"Does it hurt a whole bunch?" he asked Zahra, unable to keep from sounding concerned. The Hufflepuff was strong with this one.
