She was feeling... sympathy, but as he begged her not to say anything, she opened her mouth to argue. He put up a good argument of his own. The last thing she did want was for Liam to end up in the clutches of bloody Daphne and Malfoy.
She was about to suggest that Millicent should be looking after her son, when she thought better. No doubt the mention of her name would just drive him further over the edge.
No, Miles was finally suffering for his own actions. A part of her felt self-satisfied that this had finally come about, but she couldn't deny she was as mad as hell that he got Liam involved in all this.
Perhaps this would make a new man of Miles. Perhaps it wouldn't. She had no idea, but she existed in the hope he might suddenly see the light.
"I'm sorry, Miles." she said softly. "But you've brought this entirely on yourself. You'll be atoning for this for a long bloody time to come."
