"Ron, there's an owl at the window, will you let it in?" Hermione asked her husband of many years. Her seventeen year old son, Hugo, was home for the holidays. Rose, her nineteen-year-old daughter, was working late at the ministry.

Ron let the owl in and removed the parchment from its leg. He unfolded and read it. His eyes instantly filled with tears as he let the letter fall to the ground.

"What's wrong, Dear?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing," he picked up the letter, "I've got to go. I'll be back."

Hermione grabbed his arm. "Not before telling me what's wrong, and where and why you're going."

"Hermione don't worry."

"Ron? Give me the letter!"

"Bye, Hermione," Ron gave her a kiss and Hugo took the letter.

"Dad!" his eyes filled with tears as he hit his father. "You have to tell Mum!"

"Tell me what, Hugo?" Hug was crying as he handed Hermione the letter.

"Hermione! You don't want to read that!"

"Why not?"

"You might not like what it says."

Hermione stared at him.

"Please, don't"

"You and Hugo read it!"

"Hermione, I don't know how you're going to take it!"

Hermione glared.

"Fine read it, but don't say I didn't warn you!"

Hermione unfolded the letter.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Weasley,

I don't know how to inform you of this, but there was an attack at the ministry. Some people were killed, some tortured to almost dying point, and others captured. Your daughter, Rose, is either dead, or she was captured. We cannot completely know who is who so we are asking the family of the possible dead to come check. We are sorry for this tragedy.

Sincerely,The Minister of Magic,M. M.

Hermione completely broke down. Ron hugged her, and held her close, crying himself. "That's why I didn't want you to read it."

"Rosie!" Hermione sobbed.

"I'm going by myself to check among the dead, okay? I think we both won't be able to see Rosie dead, but…" Ron trailed off.

"I know," Hermione whispered.

Ron collected his broom and kissed Hermione and Hugo. "I'll be back soon." And with that, he was off to the ministry.
