Somehow Hermione was able to calm her son down with her assurances that he didn't have to fear what was coming. She could hardly convince herself of that lie, but he was still innocent enough to believe his mother when she made him a promise. With Oliver still held in her arms, she looked up to find a concerned Antonin watching them from just outside the door. As much as she wanted to chastise her husband for being so careless with his words where their son could hear them, she couldn't. She was just as guilty at times of doing the same. All they could do was try to be better in the future to make up for their past failures.
