Kagome watched as George handed over the list of ingredients they needed, hanging back towards the front of the apothecary shop.
"He's going to grab everything for us." George said walking up to her.
Kagome nodded, "I hope this works."
George gripped her hand and squeezed lightly, "it will."
"Excuse me."
Kagome and George turned at the timid voice spotting a young woman shuffling her feet.
"You're Kagome? My sister was in Ravenclaw house a year below you… You saved her life at the Battle for Hogwarts, Sue Li? She had a bad wound on her shoulder and a werewolf was clawing at her neck, but you saved her. I just wanted to say thank you."
Kagome inclined her head, the memory playing out exactly how it happened. "You're welcome. How is she?"
"She's almost fully recovered… thank you again."
The woman bowed low with tears in her eyes, Kagome returning the gesture. "When your sister's well enough, I would love to hear from her if you could write to me."
The girl's face broke into a smile, "thank you, she would love that."
With a wave, she was gone out of the shop leaving a heaviness behind.
"I didn't know you did that! Hey… are you alright?" George asked.
Kagome shook under his grip, breathing heavily as green and red flashes appeared before her eyes, a burning sensation beginning along her back. Her chest tightened, and she leaned over before pushing George away and stumbling out of the shop and into the cold January air.
'Oh gods, what's going on, what is this?' she thought closing her eyes as the lights dimmed.
She leaned over and crouched down, her hair falling over her shoulders from under her hat as she tried to get her breathing under control.
She was vaguely aware of the bell above the shop and George crouching down in front of her, placing his hand tentatively on her shoulder.
"Can you walk? Lets get you back to the shop." He said softly.
Kagome nodded, standing shakily as George helped her walk. Kagome clung to him as her eyes re-focused and the pain in her chest subsided. 'What the hell was that?' she thought.
