Unfinished Sympathy

The Afterpain

You tried to sit up, but because you were tied to the bed, it didn't go that easy.

'Diffindo' You cut the rope so you could move. The rope fell on the ground after the spell.  Carefully you tried to sit up.

You were still bleeding, not that much as before though. "Vulnera Sanentur" you murmled softly. The wounds were healing but you still felt the pain. You stood up carefully, looking at the damage you've caused. The thing caused to be precisely. You still didn't know what thing had tied you to the bed, but you would soon find out.

You went with your finger over the sheets, locating where the thing had touched it.  You felt pangs in your ribcage, but you ignored them. You needed to clear everything. You needed to locate the thing, so you could end the thing, and could move on.

The blood disappeared but you still felt the pain. But you couldn't heal everything, healing took time, and at this moment of the day you didn't have time.

You quickly changed into some proper clothes. A black trouser with a black sweater. Black was your colour. It was simple and elegant. You felt Mr.Graves was coming your way. So you needed to act quickly. (you could sense people coming to you. It was irritating sometimes but after all it was handy.)

A knock was planted on your door and you opened it. You saw Mister Graves standing in the opening of it. He was wearing alsmost the same clothes as yesterday, but today he was wearing a grey scarf.  His hair was exactly the same as the day you met him. You woundered how long it took him to do his hair. Probably 45 seconds or something.

"Mr.Graves good afternoon, come on in."  'Thank you Anne.' He passed through you, and he placed a hand on your arm." Are you alright Anne? you look a bit pale and tired." You were shocked by his action. He wasn't a man of touching people. He was a cold man, too many people. Why did he care? She couldn't tell. You closed the door behind him, fearing what was coming next.
