He came quickly to his own conclusion: "You're keeping something from me..." he said in a rather singsong voice.
Lights managed to get back her usual bright smile for Ethan. "Of course I am," she said. "I'm keeping you guessing." Not that Lights had ever needed to employ this tactic ... But she wasn't going to tell him about her suspicions until she needed to. That would probably be if and when she needed a patronus sent. "Just ... stick around, okay? Moral support," she added quickly, feeling a cover story was needed.

Yes, he had suspected the young man, but the other two he had never even heard of. "Right. I'll send one if anyone else comes." Then he made up his mind on something "Hang on a minute." And he approached the three Cultists.
Ebony approached the nearest Cultist, which happened to be the old one. "Oy!" he said. "May I ask what Department you work in, if you work in the Ministry?" And he assumed he did, if not, then why try to get in the Ministry. Unless this was some Cultist gathering...
Then he turned to the one who just arrived. Who was she? Lights had said she was a Cultist, and it was probably true, as she was trying to get in. "Course he has." Ebony answered her. "Or do you call suspending the MLE department not that bad? But may I ask WHY you need to come in at this moment?" he asked her in a non-chalant voice.
Lights had to admire Ebony's dare. She wondered briefly whether she should go up and help him, but then decided that it was best to keep up her cover as a random woman watching the protest rather than an MLE'er. So she shot Ebony a
good luck smile and continued to watch proceedings out of the corner of her eye.
