 *yawn* night! (can't wait to see what happens!) Granddaddy Ravenclaw | | Jermione Granger
Well, that had caught him by surprise. Love him? Silas dropped his wand arm briefly as he turned to look at her, placing a hand on her shoulder. She was determined, on-guard, and ready to protect him. In that moment, Silas felt such warmth, admiration and gratitude that, well, some might call it love, too.
He was about to speak when the noise started. Dementors. Snapping back to attention, Silas turned so he and Dora were back to back. She was firing patronus charms left and right. Joining the fray, he cried out, "Expecto Patronum!" His coyote patronus leaped from the end of his wand and ran straight for the on-coming dementors. Silas cast more into the woods. They were still coming. Was Dora ok?
Groping around behind him, not daring to turn his head as he continued to cast, his hand sought her free one and he held it tight. He would not lose her, too.
