"Uh, where's Reba?" Fred looked around the group. He, Hermione, Ginny, Harry and Ron were halfway back up the secret passage, when they heard Reba arguing heatedly with Voldemort back in the lair. George, Joanna, Eliza and Draco were outside already. So Fred turned to go back, but as he did, his knees gave way again. "I'm just too weak. Harry! Ron! You'll have to go back for Reba!"
"So, can you feel the control of your body returning to you?" George asked Draco, carrying on due to the encouragement Joanna had given him. She could feel that he was the one supporting her weight, rather than a team effort between him and Eliza, so she allowed it by leaning into his shoulder. Somehow, she felt safer in his arms, even considering the situation could explode any second.
