After waking up from a much better sleep after a terrible nightmare, Ern still felt a bit off. He had already decided what he needed to have done later in that day. It was supposed to be a low-key day but he had a hard time staying still. The flat was far too quiet. Hannah and Justin were out of the question for now, and he didn't want to bother Jasper any more than he already did. He then remembered Zacharias' situation... Maybe he should stop by to check in on him? He knew that they did have their differences, but Ern felt a measure of pity for him, and he did live with the git for seven years and knew him for longer. After apparating over Ern felt at least somewhat conflicted with his feelings of responsibility and the knowledge that Zacharias would likely not take his visit very well...
He stood outside of the building where Zacharias lived for a good minute, feeling somewhat conflicted as to whether he should even bother or whether he should continue to correspond with him over the journals. It was then he noticed a window shatter. "Merlin," he said drawing his breath in surprise. It looked like it was Zacharias' flat. In a matter of moments he had apparated himself to the front door of his former classmate's flat, and listened to several thuds and a very angry sounding... Witch?
Wand at the ready he quickly and silently went for the door, and saw a figure on top of what had to be Smith. "Mobilicorpus." He pointed his wand at the figure in an effort to extract her.
