Silence. Hermione waited with bated breath as she heard the background noise on Ron's end gradually disappear. "Hermione?" Ron was obviously skeptical that he was really talking to her, but he continued. "You know Harry's got half of the Ministry looking for you, right? What's got into you disappearing like that? Are you all right? Last we checked, Crookshanks had clawed into Lucius Malfoy's thigh and we're unable to track him or his son. Harry got a warrant though and now he's talking to some prostitute we think Malfoy has been polyjuicing to look like you. He's off collecting her memories now."
