Saying that he was fine had always been his favourite go-to answer. It was simple, and most of the time, half the people who had asked didn't actually want to hear the deeper, less than positive answer. Anthony was sure that Justin didn't happen to fall into that category, but it was much easier to not focus specifically on his part in this situation.
Personally, Anthony didn't really see how waiting on the Ministry was going to provide any sort of solution for anyone, really. At least not as long as that woman was going around killing people. So he couldn't blame Justin for not really caring about the rules. He guessed that if he found out that his father was having the nightmares, Anthony would be concerned regardless of their relationship. He was still his father.
That gave him something to think about, however. Because Justin definitely had a point. Even though he was in danger, there was at least a slight chance that he would be able to use magic to save himself. His father wouldn't be able to do that. And this could be good for him, having a project. Better than reading the same books over again. Still thinking, Anthony voiced some of those thoughts aloud. "Maybe... maybe we'd just need something that works very similar to one. Since the main goal is to be informed when there's some sort of danger, even if they don't actually know it, right?"
