Her face engulfed in shadows, a strong foul smell of rotting wood and musty air swept by her, filling her nostrils with a very unpleasant scent. The wind was picking up becoming frigid and unwelcoming. It was bitter against her wounds, her bare feet becoming numb. She really hoped Severus came soon.
