She wanted to make her friends happy, even by the slightest. If the least she could do was go explore the Manor with them, then she decided to suck it up and pretend she was having a good time with them. Esme trusted her best friend more than anything, and as long as she was there, Scorpius wouldn't try to do anything. That was one thing she was certain of. On the other hand, Esme wondered why her friend didn't come to visit her. They were growing distant. Focusing her attention back on the two people standing in front of her, she wrinkled her nose in disgust. There were clear traces of dark magic emitting from both of their bodies. Taking a step back, she held her breath to keep the urge to vomit at bay. The scent was the strongest coming from Scorpius, and Mara's eyebrow rose in confusion to her gross expression.
