Chapter 30:

Hermione found that her hands were surprisingly steady as she took out the chicken soup from the microwave. She placed the bowl, burning her hands, onto the kitchen counter in front of her and stirred it a tiny bit.

She picked it up once more and headed out to the living room where she found Ron lying tiredly on the couch. His head shot up the minute that Hermione stepped closer to him.

He smiled at her but she could see that it was forced as his eyes looked tired and dried out.

She held out the bowl to him and had to hold back a tear as he ached from sitting up.

She hated to see him like this, so ill. It made her heart clench and shatter to a million pieces. He put on a trumpet smile as he shakily tried to feed the soup to himself.

"Here, let me help you", Hermione declared reaching out to steady the bowl.

He waved her off, "No it's fine really. I can do it".

Hermione bit on her lip trying to force herself not to help as he told her so.

Suddenly there was a burst at the front door. Ron jumped to the roof and spilled his soup all over his body and clothes. Hermione reached out to help him clean it up but he was too quick and he sat up in his position and gave her a suspicious look.

Two enormous men walked into the room and were holding out their wands.

Hermione turned to them, making sure to protect sick Ron under her.

"What do you want?", she asked ruffly before they could even say anything.

The larger of the two spoke first, "We want Harry Potter", he said as if it were clear.

This perked Hermione up, "Why? Where is he?".

"That's what we were hoping to ask you", the smaller if the two said.

"Has something happened to him?", Hermione asked defensively. Ron was struggling to sit up underneath her grasp but she managed to pull him down.

"What do you want with Harry?", he asked struggling.

"What we want with him is none of your concern Ronald", one said.

"Actually it is of my concern", he said. Hermione was shocked to hear this which caused her to loosen her grasp on him, leading him to sit up and stare at the two large men.

The larger one scrunched his eyes in disbelief, "How?".

"I won't tell you what I know if you don't tell me what you know. Which by the looks of it is probably nothing", Ron answered.

The two men exchanged looks and muttered things between one another until finally one said, "I must talk to the great one". He turned away and disappeared into the hallway.

Hermione turned to Ron, "What do you know?".

Ron just shook his head, "I can't tell you in front of him", he whispered signaling to the guard that had stayed back watching them both like a hawk.

She nodded in understanding, not being able to hide the disappointment in her eyes. The man that had disappeared returned just at that moment.

"Get up. Both of you. The great one wants to see you"
