She hoped that it would work for Charlie. "It's really really bad. Look, I won't pretend that I know exactly what your brother and Harry and Hermione are doing, but I know they're trying to not be taken in."

I'm not sure what they've done to us, but they've made us forget things. They made us not care that Voldemort's people have a hold over everything."
How to tell him how bad it was when they just didn't get it? It was hard to do. But Hestia would try.

But they've.. they've made me do things that I didn't remember doing. Things I didn't want to do."
