Aware of the pain potion she had stashed in her bag, Claire knew it could alleviate her suffering, but she also knew that time was of the essence. She couldn’t afford the luxury of rummaging through her belongings at the moment. With grim resolve, she set aside the throbbing pain for now, knowing she had to press on. She forced her mind to focus on home, on her dear friends Teddy and Draco, who were waiting for her return. Their faces filled her thoughts, providing a glimmer of hope and a source of strength amidst the chaos and uncertainty. Taking slow, deliberate breaths, Claire surveyed her surroundings. Her gaze fell upon the stones, mere meters away, beckoning her to come closer and reclaim her place in time. The sight renewed her determination, bolstering her resolve to overcome the obstacles that stood in her way.
