Mafalda Yaxley's release from St. Mungo's helped to lighten the mood somewhat in the Dolohov cottage. At least Antonin was feeling slightly less guilty with Mafalda returned to her recently repaired home. Considering there had been ample opportunity for her attacker to kill her in the chaos of that horrible night, it was assumed that what happened to her was only a warning. But, to be safe, the Yaxleys" eldest son returned to live at home to make certain his mother was protected and not alone. A big responsibility for a nineteen year old to be sure, though Hermione always thought the wizard was more mature than his years. He would be all right.
