It was the idea that she might have been sitting by her desk filing court documents and answering owls while Padma was tortured that pained Cho the most. She knew there was little she could've done. Storming in to try to save her would have been beyond stupid; suicidal even. As long as nobody knew her stance on the Ministry's madness she was, if not safe so at least in no immediate danger.
Still, she was both dreading and wanting to see Padma. The sooner the better, though. Leaving Jian with his father was somewhat of a relief. That alone was enough to make any mother feel a boatload of guilt, but she didn't want him nearby when she saw Padma. Not this time.
She didn't even manage to sleep in, a tradition on her child-free weekends. She was up early, and it was barely even lunchtime, not even if you were being generous, when she stocked up on chocolate, cake, some take-out and went over to Padma and Lavender's apartment. Possibly she had gone a bit overboard in the bringing-things-you-can-eat department. Gifts of guilt. Or perhaps just... worry. Compassion.
