By the time the Wizgamont granted him the warrant at seven AM the next day, Harry hand-picked the best team of investigators the Ministry had to offer and accompanied them to Hermione's flat. Ron was instructed by Harry to stay in the living room to keep out of his team's way, while Harry collected statements from Hermione's neighbors before obliviating them. Harry tried to fight the feeling that questioning the muggles was a waste of time, but it proved to be difficult. A week had already passed and half of them couldn't recall the night he had last seen Hermione while the other half said they thought that they put in a noise complaint for Hermione's flat the following day. These claims matched up with the flat's leasing office as they did confirm that complaints were made for loud music being played at an "ungodly hour."
