She smiled a small smile as a large dog erupted from his wand and went bounding off. She watched as it went, feeling like it was perfect for him somehow but she couldn’t really say why.
When he spoke to her, Ilse turned back to look at him. ”Oh, I’m fine. I’ve had much worse. Nothing some dittany won’t fix,” she said sincerely. ”Your plan was much better than mine. I was going to suck all the oxygen out of the room to put it out...” Her voice turned quiet again, back to her usual, shy, self-doubting persona. Under normal circumstances, like when Conley hadn’t just lost his head over technology, started a small fire, and had patronus performance problems (it had never happened to him before!), well, he wouldn’t have had a problem with Ilse’s laughter. In fact, he enjoyed finding humor in dark moments. But with smoke curling around them, his patornus off trying to find maintenance, and, well, his ego trying to recover, he wasn’t finding this funny. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, he was highly likely to find his hilarious. Well, so long as he didn’t get in trouble with Charles. Sigh.
Conley was by no means a healer, but if she needed dittany, she really should go see the healers. ”You should still go see the heal- what?!” Suck the are out of the chamber? Was she crazy? His lip twitched as he tried not to burst out in laughter himself. What a ridiculous idea?! Still, as he had caught the change in Ilse’s tone, he pressed his lips together trying to keep a few choice words from slipping out. Suck all the oxygen in the room? He shook his head. ”I think I need to teach you some extinguishing spells.”
