Post-Forest insanity

[Wilting Rose]

As Claire and Rose appeared in a puff of smoke in the Head's Tower, Rose shrieked and wrenched her robes free from Claire's hand, backing away into a corner, trying to hide herself behind a veiled screen.

"Please... go away, leave me alone," she moaned pathetically, her hazel eyes filling up with tears.

She flumped onto the floor, and started to pull at her hair with her hands as she rocked back and forth, her tight plait coming undone and her curls spilling about her shoulders as she tried to pull them from her head. It was clear to see she was in a great deal of distress.

[Claire]

Claire watched Rose's reaction to being brought up here and could see that she was very confused and scared.

"What have they done to you?" she asked rhetorically.

Walking over towards the frightened ex-Headmistress, Claire tried to calm her. "Rose? Rose, don't be scared, you are safe here, OK? I am going to find out what they have done to you and sort it, OK?"

Claire then went over to ther desk and began opening some books to see what reversal was available for the spell they had cast on her.
