Chapter V: Letter #1- Fire
"AAAHHH!" a high-pitched shriek echoed throughout the house.
Everyone ran out into the hallway to find Hermione sitting and sobbing by the doorway in front of Mrs. Weasley's room. They ran to her and looked in the room. It was a mess, the mattress was lopsided, the drawers were open and its contents littered the floor. Mrs. Weasley was nowhere to be found. The most terrible sight was the blood; it was all over the bed, the floor, and the walls. Everyone froze, except for Ron who had just woken up.
"What's going on?" Ron asked. They just stared at the room ignoring him. Ron, being the nosy person he is, looked inside. His face stiffened. He stood there with clenched teeth, trying to gulp down his tears. Lupin, who was the first to regain his senses said, "Oh my God…Everyone stay here." He went inside the room. After the first few steps he found an elaborately decorated envelope and opened it. It read:
To the inhabitants of 12 Grimmauld Place,
I believe you are wondering about the disappearance of Ms. Molly Weasley. As you might have guessed she has been kidnapped by none other than me. Do not worry, she is alive, for now. Some of the blood on the walls is her's, the rest is that of my victims. If you want her back, please be patient. You will see her very, very soon.
Sincerely,
Fire
Once everyone had read the letter, they discussed ways and reasons for the kidnapping, with the exception of Ron. He kept to his room after reading the letter. Everyone was worried about Mrs. Weasley and Ron because he isolated himself from everyone during the week. His door was locked all day and he never came down to eat.
Lupin and Tonks put every safety measure that they could think of on the house to protect them. Little did they know they were being watched the whole time.
