"Then you'll let him go,"  Hermione said.  When the words came out of her mouth she realized they didn't sound quite as firm as she'd hoped and were more of a question.  She knew it was a bit ridiculous, but she was still rather fond of Jean. He was careless, and selfish, and a miserable lover, but he wasn't cruel on purpose.  She'd hate to think of him locked away forever though if that was what it took, of course, that was what it would take.
