Ernie walked through the corridors of his family home, heading for the entrance foyer that lead to the East Wing. His parents were settled into their room for the evening and once again he felt a pang of regret for what had happened to them. They'd been at a party of all things, celebrating the death of Voldemort, when it had been attacked by the remnants of the Death Eaters. His parents had been terribly injured and he'd been horrified to find that even the best Healers at St Mungos had not been able to heal broken spinal cords and properly fix shattered bones.

He hadn't been at that party; he'd been at a party the Hufflepuffs had been holding and it wasn't until the Aurors had arrived to inform him that he'd known. He hasn't hesitated to chuck in his job at the Ministry to take care of his parents and administer the family estate. When it came to loyalties, family was far more important than a job and considering what he'd heard had happened in the Ministry after he'd left, he was actually a little glad he'd been out of there.

He did miss his friends though. The estate took up a lot of time and what was left usually went to his parents. He felt guilty at times for abandoning his friends but when he'd weighed his loyalties, his family just had to come first. They were family after all.

He sighed as he walked through the foyer, caught up in his thoughts and regrets.
