Rabastan felt embarrassed to be associated with someone so EVIL and yet he felt reluctant to out his brother for the wretched man that he was as well. "In the other ones..." he paused, clearing his throat. "You are a good girl, Hannah, kind and well meaning, but you are young, and some might mistake that youth for naivety. He knows what control he has over your father because of his mark, but sometimes he likes to issue little...reminders. You were that reminder. He wanted to come between you two, to hurt you or hurt him through you, I am not certain of his EXACT motivation, but I know it was not to seek help. My brother and sister in law are beyond that sort of help."
Ernie shot him a disdainful look, not understanding how someone could call someone family after all that Rodolphus and Bellatrix Lestrange had done. Seeing the cold look that Ernie was giving him, he sighed. "Family is family, I would do my best to protect either of them, but I realize what sort of people they are. I am being honest when I tell you, Hannah, that I would be on my guard when it comes to my brother. He neither wants or thinks he needs help, and he won't take it. He is toying with you, but that does not mean that his threats are idle. Be careful."
