Surely children in his situation run away every day. Couldn't we arrange something for a time when you're all in the Great Hall, with an airtight alibi? We could arrange for him to sneak out of the building, and Frank or Kingsley could be waiting outside to get him away without putting you or any of the others at risk?
I know it probably wouldn't be safe for him to come here, in case anyone were ever to pass by the shop, or come in to it, and spot him. As you say, there just aren't enough people down here for anyone to hide properly. But is he really so recognisable? If we gave the poor child a bath and some clean clothes, I doubt even Carrow would recognise him. And surely even running the risk down here with us would be better than being stuck there with that awful man and his awful sister.
Moddey Dhoo would be even safer, of course, and probably much better for him to be with other children. If Frank can get me over there, I'm sure he could get Terry across safely. Unless Carrow has some sort of tracking charm on him, I don't see how he could be traced.
But then, Carrow being the sadistic bastard that he is, he probably does have a tracking charm on the boy, and god only knows what other charms and controls. It wouldn't be wise to do anything unless we know for certain how it might affect Terry. What we absolutely don't want is to make his life worse.

It just makes me so angry, Poppy!
