In addition to the table, she had unearthed a fragment of letter, in between the pages of a book, sent to Ron from one of his older brothers Lord Charles Weasley. The letter referred cryptically to a "stockpile’ of something in the Gryffindor capital city of Ottery St Catchpole. Most damning of all, she had also found an invoice from someone named Igor Karkaroff. The invoice itself was, harmlessly enough, for a new Niffler-skin rug. But Hermione the spymistress knew that Karkaroff was leader of the Durmstrang Initiative, a private mercenary group. Things were looking black for the House of Weasley.
