BenRG:
@Milayna,
My guess is that Hannelore's plan is to drop Tilly in Beatrice's lap in a sort of 'return to sender' gesture to make double-sure that Tilly is not in Northampton being instructed to interfere in her life. However, I suspect that it is going to be made abundantly plain that doing so is putting Tilly in danger, so Hannelore may bring them back home with her to protect her from her mother's cruelty.
Technoir:
But, presumably, Tilly is a legal adult and should be perfectly capable of advocating for themselves, thus mitigating the need for Hannelore to "bring them back" like some sort of stray puppy that needs protecting from the evil she-bitch pitbull (aka Empress Beatrice). Hannelore has Winslow. She doesn't need another subservient being hanging around her, especially one who is not above using emotional manipulation to achieve their goals.
Speaking of emotional manipulation... At what point should I just cut the cord on a "friend" who has, several time in the past couple years, whenever her life goes to shit, told me that if i ever stopped being her friend, she'd probably just kill herself?
TheEvilDog:
@BenRG, I really want to know how your brain goes from Point A to Point Q-832-Alpha...
The most likely explanation as to why Hanners has taken Tilly with her is quite simply, it involves Tilly too. They are a negotiating tool between their father and Beatrice. You can't treat people like that and that is something Tilly needs to hear. It might hurt them, but they'll need to know as well.

Legally yes, but morally? Honestly Tilly strikes me as a house elf in some ways; I doubt they'd be able to function in regular society. And of course the thing about being a good person is that sometimes you do things even if they're not strictly needed. Hanners could definitely have called the cops on Tilly and had them dragged off, problem solved, but then she wouldn't be Hanners, would she?
EDIT: Also, have you discussed it with her? Has she been open to change? I'd honestly say that there's no better time than the present if it is clear that she'll never change her ways.
traroth:
The fight between Hanners and her mother could be epic and interesting, if there wasn't Tilly the embodiment of boredom and dullness in between them...
Tilly's father seems to be someone powerful, so all the speculations about Tilly being in danger are just pointless. So throw them out already.
