Re: AFTERMATH
Ernie offered his biological father a place to stay because he had been worried about Liam's ongoing feud with Fabian. He felt horrible that he invited Liam right into harm's way. Liam and Fabian may have fought, but at least he wouldn't have faced Death Eaters. That bloody journal entry would remain in Ernie's memories for a long time. "Liam," Ernie said softly. He was so relieved. He had noticed his father, but there hadn't been time to make sure he was okay during all the fighting. He let out a small little laugh at Liam's absurd comment, but he was clearly fighting tears too. "I am fine. Helga, are you?" Ernie wasn't usually given to emotion, but he gave in and hugged his father.
