Chapter 17-
"Well what!" Hermione said anxiously.
"Well...then I saw Malfoy enter the room, he didn't notice me on the stairs, he just went straight for Angel. I over heard them talking. Angel said something about how she needed to get this done for her father...And how this "Serious person" was in her care...and how it was such a good trap and such...I didn't really understand what they were talking about...I mean who cares about a "Serious person"? Lots of people are serious!" She stopped waiting to hear what they thought. "Well to make a long story a little shorter, they left me there...After a while I got back my senses and well..." She stopped, turning red. "And flew for help..." She looked at Ron, then to Hermione.
Hermione, surprisingly didn't say a word, just kept patting Ellie's head and saying sweet comforting words. Then after a moment she stopped.
"Did they say 'serious person' or just 'serious'" Hermione questioned.
"Um.they just said 'serious' but that didn't make sense to me." She answered.
Hermione just nodded looking at Ron. "Ron.that's what the letter was about.it was about Sirius.Harry said.He said that 'they' found him...that he need to find Sirius and that's what he was going to do...Oh Ron...its all a trap..."
"Hermione...its OK...its going to be OK...we just...just have to find Harry." Ron tried to sound as hopeful as possible, but he wasn't convincing.
It was quiet, all of the three thinking, then Hermione added, "oh Ron! Dumbledor is coming for you tomorrow!" She sounded extremely hopeless.
"I have Ellie here for me." He said, trying to sound stronger than he was. The fact was he was scared. Very scared rather, plus he hadn't gotten out of bed for days, how was he going to just get up and walk out of the room.
Ron sat, thinking, when something popped into his head. "Wonderful, I just can't wait till they find her! It's going to be great! I hope my sister is the first to know! That filthy trader!"
"Wonderful, I just can't wait till they find her! It's going to be great! I hope my sister is the first to know! That filthy trader!" Ron said out- loud, "I over heard Angel saying that to Malfoy and that's when I got lost..."
"Oh dear.What are we going to do."Hermione said, her voice beginning to crack.
Ellie suddenly went white as a ghost and her hands began to shake madly.
"Ellie?" Ron said, steadying her heads. "Ellie...are you all right? Ellie!"
And all in one moment, breath drifted out of her as she collapsed to the floor.
"Well what!" Hermione said anxiously.
