CHAPTER 41

Hours flew by. Hermione and Ron waited at Ginny's house to hear from Harry. But so far, no news had come. Hermione sat in the kitchen, a cup of tea was in her hands. She kept staring at the clock, waiting for Harry to come back. Ron had taken the kids to their playroom and was playing with them. Ginny was in the kitchen, staring at Hermione sadly. "Hermione, are you hungry?" Ginny asked. "I can make you something. Anything you want?" Hermione shook her head. "No thanks." she replied. "I'm not hungry." Ginny nodded. Hermione sighed and sipped at her tea.

Somewhere in the Muggle World

Harry and Aly walked through the muggle town. Aly looked around the town in awe. She was completely fascinated. Harry, being raised in a muggle town, wasn't fazed. Everywhere he looked, he saw memories of pain and hurt and...loneliness. "Wow, these muggles." Aly cried as she looked at a mailbox. Harry tried hard not to laugh. All of a sudden, an auror ran over to them. "Boss, boss." the auror cried breathlessly. "Did you find the werewolf?" Aly asked. The auror shook their head, trying hard to catch their breath. "But we did find something else?" Harry nodded. "Take us there." he ordered. The auror nodded and walked away. Harry and Aly followed after him quickly. The auror led them down the road and into an ally way. He led them all the way to the back where a fence made it a dead end. Lying, unmoving by the fence, was an old woman with short light brown hair. Her eyes were open and lifeless. She was naked. Her still, cold body was covered in bruises and cuts. Harry reached into his pocket and took out the picture Hermione had given him. He knealt down beside her and compared the woman to the picture. His throat seemed to tighten. "It's her." he said softly. He looked up at Aly and the auror. "It's Edna Granger." Aly closed her eyes and sighed. Harry groaned and stood up. He looked at the auror. "Alert St. Mungo's." The auror nodded and disapperated.

Harry and Ginny Potter's House

Ginny sighed and looked at her best friend sadly. "Hermione, why don't you go upstairs to my and Harry's room? You can sleep." Hermione thought about it for a second and then reluctantly nodded. She drained the rest of her tea and stood up. Ginny walked over to her and grabbed her arm gently. The two started to go upstairs when a loud pop distracted them. They both turned to see Harry standing before them. Hermione could tell by the look on Harry's face that it wasn't good. But she held her breath and hoped for the best. "Did you find her?" Ginny asked. Harry nodded, not trusting his own voice. A little hope started to grow inside Hermione. "Is she...alright?" Ginny asked, hoping that she was. Harry hesisted, before shaking his head. "She's dead." he chocked out. "I'm sorry." Hermione sank to her knees and puked violently.
