Bones shrugged again, not entirely sure he wanted to get into this conversation. Talking about the dead was always difficult, and Elliot's death was so recent. Liam seemed ready to keep off the topic, so Bones didn't press him or even let him know that he'd read about it. Instead, he kept the topic on Hermione and Susan.
"She stayed at the safe house for a few days. She said she had something to take care of, but she's able to get back in any time," he said. "I don't like the idea of those kids out there. The Death Eaters are relentless, so we need to act fast and get them all together."
