It was the first time Aberforth's escape was ever mentioned between the two of them. Hermione wasn't even aware that he knew anything about it. Of course, once she was aware that he'd been friendly with certain leaders of the Resistance, she should've assumed that he knew it all. If she'd known what a powerful ally and partner he would turn out to be, she might have been inclined to ask her husband for assistance months earlier when she really needed it. With his help, there might have been no need for Augustus to call in his favors to keep her arse out of the fire. But, she had to remind herself, one could only make a decision based on the information that they had at any given time. Looking back at the past with new knowledge and regretting the choices that were made would only drive a person crazy.
