"And I wouldn't advise erasing memories, there's a big chance of it going wrong."
Lights nodded, wiping her eyes with a tissue. There goes the mascara again. "Thanks," she said, looking up at Ben and smiling shakily. "Dean Benson knows about it too, but he's not being as positive about it. He walked off after I told him, I think he's going to arrest Ethan, accidental murder or not. I'm not sure if this makes any difference, but Ethan didn't use an Unforgivable." There had been a lot of blood, not like if he'd used the Killing Curse.
"I'm going to protect Ethan to the end," added Lights, her bright green eyes flashing defiantly. "If I can stop him going to Azkaban, I will. I'll do anything." If she needed to bribe a member of the Wizengamot, she'd resort to that. Lights was that desperate.
