"I'm serious. I saw them. They're—"
"Animagi, yes, I understood that part. I also understand how hard you've been working—"
Neville sighed. He hadn't thought Hannah would believe him, but he'd felt compelled to tell someone.

Hannah laid a hand on Neville's right knee, and he felt beads of sweat collect at his hairline.
"If you're right," she said, "then the best they can, I suppose."
