ace corner is ready to cause trouble (cornering) wrote in wished,
Michael felt a bit nervous being in a room with the old DA members again. He liked them all great, of course, it was just the conditions under which they were having to meet now that bothered him. When Neville said "war" Michael visibly flinched as though the bloke had thrown a book at his face. Everyone and everything seemed to be quiet when Neville finished talking. Michael looked around, expecting someone else to ask the question that was weighing on his mind but no one else spoke.
Finally he looked back at Neville and opened his mouth. "Where are Ron, Hermione and Harry? Hermione is the one who told us about the meeting--why isn't she here? Why aren't they here?"
It wasn't that Michael had any real attachment to the three of them, but he knew that they knew more than everyone else and that their knowledge was going to be vital if anything was to go in the favor of those who were opposed to You-Know-Who. So he didn't understand why they weren't there or why they didn't say they wouldn't be coming.
