Esme's eyes widened in surprise at her friend's statement. Before Mara could say anything else, she ran towards her embracing her in a tight hug. "Mara that's amazing, I'm so proud of you". She felt her friend ease into the embrace, tightening her arms around Esme. Then the godawful scent drifted back into her nose, and she pushed away, keeping a fair distance where she would still be able to breathe without wanting to gag. "Thank You. Scorpius was a real trooper today, I would have been dead if it wasn't for him".
