Vianna's jaw dropped as Victor explained before turning a narrowed-eyed gaze at Vince, who had apparently been at fault for all of this. "This means we behead Vince!" she declared - "Heyy!" the boy complained. Victor shook his head slightly at his siblings. "No, it means this is in the hands of the ministry now," he said with a sigh. "It means we're gonna have to tell them everything we know and pray to Merlin that they can get to Mr. and Mrs. Hall before the kidnappers find out the ministry's after them," he continued. But this was precisely what he didn't want to happen. "If the kidnappers find out it's more than just a group of teens that are after them and they don't have Ned with them anymore... they'll have no use for Mr. and Mrs. Hall. They'll kill them without hesitation."
