Which Ron thought was completely ridiculous. It wasn't even fair for their colleagues to treat them like this and not even ask what the full story was. And why the fuck had Smith decided to give his name anyway? Oh right, because he was friends with Harry, of course. Merlin forbid anyone be friends with Harry. "Yeah, let's hope so," Ron replied doubtfully. He had a feeling they might get questioned about this and he wouldn't be surprised if Percy had something to say to him about it.
"Yeah, that," Ron replied. "Don't think there's going to be anything that I can do about it, though I rather wish I could. Bole has been working with Lavender and if Michael's gone missing it might be connected to Greyback, which is Bole's case. I guess Michael has been helping Lav out quite a bit recently and it's possible Greyback may have figured it out. Which is...not good," Ron said, sort of thinking out loud. If Greyback had caught Michael, there was a chance they might not get to him in time, depending on how long Greyback planned on keeping him alive to taunt Lavender, or whatever he was trying to do.
