This conversation was completely not what Hannah had been expecting. In fact, it was treading on territory that was dangerous for her simply because of what she knew, because of what she was doing against the government. Again, she had to speak carefully, making sure nothing she said could get her into trouble if her intuition was failing her.
"Theodore," she began, and hesitated as she tried her best to choose her words wisely in such a way that would be hard to be found guilty should she be way off base. But Nott, he'd been a Death Eater. She hadn't made the connection, but she recalled it now. It had been on Potterwatch and in the papers, though the papers had spun the story to make him sound like some kind of war hero. She didn't want to bastardize Theodore's father's memory, but the mere thought of Death Eater made Hannah's stomach turn and her pulse race. If his father had been a Death Eater and he'd somehow lost some kind of protection... "Are you taking your father's position in the government in his stead?" That was an innocent question, right? Sons took over their fathers' legacies all the time. She wasn't giving away her own position on the topic.
