"Ernie and Nev used to meet regularly. Nev was gutted when he heard about him being butchered by Malfoy. I don't know if Ernie knew about me for certain, either, but we are reasonably sure he guessed I was still around. He never did understand why Nev had such an unnatural interest in your well-being, when he'd married the witch Ernie considered the most gorgeous woman under the sky."
