Rowena walked away from the make-shift hospital room. She barely had the energy t stand, but she couldn't stand to stay in that room any longer. She'd never seen Helga or Godric look so awful; she couldn't continue to watch as they suffered in pain. Thankfully, they would both be okay, but the duel they'd partaken in was no small one.
Salazar had really done a number on them.
Before she even realised where she was going, she found herself in front of his office. Salazar's, that is. She didn't really want to see him, but she pushed the door open anyway. Something was telling her she needed to be here.
As she stepped in, she saw Salazar's whole figure shaking with sobs quite similar to the ones she'd experienced only a few weeks ago.
"What's wrong?" Rowena asked before she thought her words through.
"What are you doing here?" Salazar snapped, jumping from his seat and brandishing his wand in front of him.
Rowena didn't even flinch. She somehow knew that Salazar wouldn't, or couldn't hurt her. "I wanted. . . I mean. . . I'm not sure."
It wasn't often that Rowena was lost for words, but she just couldn't seem to find them today. The day had been one of the worst she'd ever experienced (though not the worst). Two of her friends were badly injured thanks to her closest friend and the one she would have liked to take things further with.
"You should fear me," Salazar hissed, sounding almost like he did when he talked to that pet snake of his.
Rowena didn't back away. "I don't," she said, and that was the only thing she could really say. Nothing else was needed. She wasn't afraid of him. Angry? Yes. Disappointed? Yes. Worried? Yes, but there was no fear.
She didn't think she could fear him.
