The idea that these strangers could be wizards had never even crossed the girl's mind. She had just seen a chance for help and had taken it. Not a single flicker of true fear had seized her until now. As the barrier appeared, she could not manage to stop her dash to avoid it. In her attempt, she fell backwards, landing hard on her back. She remained still for a breath of time, stunned, before lifting herself up slightly with her arms. She looked behind her at Snape, her eyes wide. Snapping out of her trance, she scrambled to her feet and turned to face him. Fresh blood was slowly oozing down her arms, but she didn't notice her. She was fixated on Snape.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" she dared to question softly. Her face was twisted into confusion, her dark eyes untrusting. Whoever this man was, fear of him was blossoming.
Even the mask of confusion mimicked Sage's. The puzzled look had often crossed her face when she found something she couldn't understand, but her determination drove her to solve it. The determination was lacking from the child, but perhaps that was because of the fear or darkness. It was hard to say for certain.
