"Miss Black? Are you alright?" The figured looked down at the mixture of water, glass and what appeared to be blood. "Are...are you bleeding?"
"Severus?" Sadie asked while tears formed in her eyes from the pain of the glass shattering on her foot. "I'm fine just a scratch."
"Are you crying?" He shook it off as he bend down and flourished his wand. The glass and water returned to the glass. "This is not a scratch. Would you like me to take you to the hospital wing?"
"No..." She looked down at the man kneeling before her. "I don't want to be a bother." Why is he being so nice? She thought.
"Well then at least let me fix it up for you. Here sit on this." He moved a wooden chair behind her and took her hands and assisted her.
Sadie flinched when he grasped her hand. Immediately she began to blush but shook her maple coloured hair onto her face. "Thank you." She said as she sat.
"By the way..." He put his wand on the deep gash on her foot. "Why aren't you wearing any slippers?" He continued the healing.
"Oh um..." She looked down as well. "I guess I was...I'm not sure. Guess I was caught up in my thoughts." She blushed again.
"Best not to ponder on those now. Your foot is healed but I wouldn't put all your wait on it until tomorrow." He stood up and flashed what seemed to be a smile.
A smile? From him? Sadie thought but realized the silence. "Oh, thank you so does this mean..."
He looked at her but then realized what she was trying to say. "Of course not! I can accompany you to your room. We can't have you hobbling around in Potions class with all of those dunderheads. Here," He offered his hand.
Sadie took it still blushing. "I hope I'm not causing you too much trouble. By the way, if you wouldn't mind me asking. Why did you come down here? To the kitchen that is."
"Oh uh. I had to get some thoughts off my mind as well." He said as he put his arm around her for support.
Is he blushing? Sadie thought as she began her trip to her room.
