The fact that not everyone had been cruel to Hannah heartened Ernie, but just as quickly sent a cold chill down his spine. The elation that he was feeling was entirely defendant on who was being so kind to Hannah. If it were a random Death Eater who was compassionate, as the one who had replaced Hestia had been, then it was a blessing. If it was Lestrange however, it would be worse than anything, because it would instill further trust in a man who didn't deserve even a hint of such a thing.
"It was Lestrange, wasn't it, who was kind to Hannah?" Not even waiting until Hestia answered, he swore, and he swore again more vehemently once she did nod. There was nothing to say, this was going more wrong than anyone could have anticipated. "We have to get her back." He insisted. "We have to do it quickly. Hannah's too trusting, if we don't she could be lured in again by trying to save him. He could do more damage..." he cleared his throat, not liking his almost desperate tone. "We have to get her back today."
