Though it might not have been the most popular of opinions and certainly not one that she could ever express in front of the other mums who believed that the sun rose from the arse of their little terrors, Hermione was glad that Oliver didn't have her in his life at the moment mucking everything up. When she considered years earlier running with him, she hadn't thought it all through. Instinct would tell a mother that they had to protect their child at all cost. For some, that would mean taking them away from a dangerous situation or person and protecting them with the very breath from their body. But what about when the dangerous person they needed to protect their child from was their mother? She would bring the boy nothing but sorrow and pain. It was better that she not pollute his world with her presence. Antonin loved him more thoroughly than he loved anyone else. His temper might be easily lost with his wife, but with the exception of the time Oliver struck back at Hermione physically, he had always remained perfectly calm and even-tempered with his son. He would be the one to protect his child with the last breath from his body.
