Jeremiah couldn't help but have some nerves that at least kept him focused on his surroundings. He had wanted to participate in order to protect his children from whatever was causing this fog. At least he hadn't had to travel too far from home like some of the others. Living in Hogsmeade did have it's perks in this instance.
