Hermione was glad once again that she took Rosalind to Augustus. He would protect her, to the death, if necessary. Naturally, she hoped it wouldn't come to that. There had already been enough senseless violence and she still cared a great deal for her ex-lover. She desperately wanted him to have his second chance at a family, even another chance at finding real love. Rosalind and her unborn son were both innocents in that horrible game. Augustus would do what was necessary to keep them out of it. She had no doubt that he would even smuggle them out of the country to do so.
