Elliott was determined he wasn ' t going to cry as she pranced around the room . Of course she was crazy , and now he was bound to her in this deeply magical way . He took his wand from Mei , grateful to have it back in his fingers but at the same time it felt odd , wrong . This wand was his life as an Auror and now . He was surprised when he pointed the wand at the Minister , and particularly surprised when Scarface caught his arm , stepping in the way of the spell . He had a tired look in his eyes , as he shook his head . No point . But the spell never came as he lowered the wand again . If he wanted to , he could never attack her , the Vow forbade it . I had to try . The threat of death was gone for now , but he had a feeling he didn ' t want to try and break those rules unless he wanted to be compelled to take a short walk and a long drop off of the top of this building . Just pick a spot . He could feel his snark coming back the more he spoke . That initial confidence was returning . Just because he was vowed to help her and this piece of shit operation to the best of his abilities , didn ' t mean he had to pay lip service to a mental patient . I ' m basically obligated not to care where I ' m marked . I ' ve gotta be all ' Yes Master , whatever you fucking say Master . ' Right ?
