The first day of September arrived too soon. At least that's how Antonin and Hermione Dolohov felt about the day. Dreading the moment they would watch their son ride away on the Hogwarts Express, when it dawned, neither one of them was pleased. Relying on a truce to keep their son out of harm was one of the more difficult tasks they'd ever had to endure. While Antonin remained resolute and confident that the agreement would hold, his wife believed that he was simply putting on a brave front for her sake and to convince himself.
