Re: AFTERMATH
Ernie had not used his wand in any negative manner since the Battle of Hogwarts, but he started brushing up on his skills after the Monster Attack. Now that he needed to battle old foes, he was glad he started practicing again. When Ted sounded the alarm, Ernie knew he needed to go. He reset the rotation schedule, handed it to the twins, and hurried to the caves. He went not only because he cared about Ted, but because he hoped Liam was in the caves too. If he was there, Ernie needed to help him. Not to mention he wanted to help Amelia, Analisa, and the poor students too.
The fight exhausted him. He was glad they managed to get a handle on the situation, but he knew things were going to get worse. Rabastan's Mark burned, but where was Voldemort? Plus Death Eaters still remained in hiding.
