Kingsley Shacklebolt had been the one to give her the helpful advice to say as little as possible if detained. His experience working with the Muggle government had given him a perspective about law enforcement on the other side that most of their kind didn't have. He also had powerful connections and friends. When he helped her the first time she was arrested after running away from the Dark Lord, he'd been frustrated with her that she had the arrogance to assume that she had nothing to fear from the Muggle police. She'd spent too much time as the favored pet of Lord Voldemort, he told her with every syllable he spoke dripping with venom. Though not technically a part of the larger Resistance, he lived mostly on the outside of the law. Hermione knew that he was ashamed that she had been so easily turned to the Darkness. Clearly, he didn't know anything about what she endured. Maybe his opinion of her wouldn't have been so soured.
