Chapter 53: The Madness Of Mr. Crouch
The month of March started and with it a series of rumors that Crouch was missing. Hermione was recovering from her changing of both Illusion and Maze and she wasn't very responsive when Harry told her of this. She yawned.
"I'm sorry, Harry," Hermione said. "But I've just changed to very powerful cards and I'm wiped out."
"Was it another test?" Harry asked.
Hermione nodded.
"Why can't this stop?" Ron asked. "I mean, this is dangerous for you."
"I know but I have to do it," Hermione told him, yawning. "Even if it wipes me out."
Ron muttered something but Harry said nothing. Deep down he felt that this just wasn't fair.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione visited the kitchens again and this time Hermione noticed a new house elf. Dobby introduced her as Winky, Crouch's house elf. She didn't look good and all three of them felt bad for her.
"What happened?" Hermione asked Dobby.
"She was freed," Dobby answered. "Her Master freed her."
"I wish someone would free another servant," Ron muttered, giving Hermione a look.
Hermione ignored him, though she knew what he was talking about.
"Winky, have you seen Mr. Crouch?" Harry asked.
She shook her head and they had no choice but to leave, of course they carried food with them for Sirius.
"I'll take this stuff up to the Owlery," Harry told them.
Hermione said nothing just walked away. Harry had no idea what was wrong with her, though he figured that she would soon be over it and back to her normal self. Ron was glaring at Hermione's retreating back and he wondered what Ron was thinking. He figured that he would find out soon enough.
