Ford nodded at the mention of the aurors once again. This was bringing the conversation back around to one of those things you were supposed to say in times like this (if there were any conventions for times like this), so it felt a little more natural to slip back into his response: "The aurors will find her. They're trained for this. It's their job."
And if they didn't — well, a few scenarios had already occurred to Ford, but he wouldn't voice them yet. He didn't want to even be thinking about them, and he hated that they'd even occurred to him at all. He wouldn't put them into anyone else's head, if he could help it. The last thing Noble needed at the moment was to be thinking about the logistics of burial arrangements if they didn't have a body to bury.
