Hesitating for a moment, he reached out to gently tuck a lock of long hair behind the girl's ear, his voice softening just a fraction. "Are you ready?"
Taking Snape's hand, Iblis grinned broadly at him. "Don't worry." With a snap of her fingers, their figures gradually began to fade. "My technique is great. I won't let you get dizzy."
