ORDER ONLY: HOW COULD YOU?

[alt_hermione]

I thought you all were going to take care of me. I trusted you. I believed you knew what was best.

I just -

It turns out Mr Lupin was all right after all, and you all just were going to sit around, I've already told the Headmistress this and I want you all to know too: I don't know -

I just -

What will happen to them? I suppose they'll have to go to the colony, won't they? But will the colony have them since they aren't wizards? If the colony won't have them you all had better have them, you had just better take care of them, or I swear I will run away from Hogwarts and help them myself, and I'll steal Draco's wand again and I'll have a wand then, and you all will just be able to go hang!!!!

I didn't realise they were hostages for my good behaviour, I ought to have known, how on earth could I have been so utterly stupid?!

I'm with Frank, Hermione. What's going on? What do you mean about Moony saying we were only going to sit on our heels? About what?

Mr Lupin didn't say anything to me, I haven't spoken to him, did I say that? I said he was all right, he bolted, I'm sure he bolted so he wouldn't have to bite them. Only now they're getting bit anyway, I know, the Lord Protector told me so -

This: Mr Lupin was all right after all, and you all just were going to sit around,

What did you mean?

And as everyone else has said, kiddo: We'll do what we can. If Remus has scarpered ...

Well, we'll do all we can.

Hermione . . . if that is what they told you, I'm afraid--well, it's only a few hours until moonrise, which means we have little time, and I've still not been able to discover where they've taken them, although Bill and I are feverishly turning over every rock that we can find . . .

Did they tell you anything else, Hermione? Anything that might give us a clue where they might have taken them? If they had intended to use Remus, I suppose their first intention would have been to bring them here. But now that Remus is gone--did you hear from anyone, anything about where they would take them now? Did someone give you the name of a specific werewolf enclave?
