Disclaimer: Harry belongs to JK, the Bauds belong to Lemony, need I say more?

A/N: here's another Chappie :D sorry it took so long :D


They headed for the door and Moody knocked.

"Who is it?" came the unmistakable voice of Mrs. Weasley, though it sounded somewhat different...

"It's moody, Kingsley, Lupin, and Tonks, Molly. Here to do a little drop off" grunted Moody. Molly opened the door slightly and saw them, sighed and completed opening the door. They all went in and when the Baudelaires went in, they were awed by just everything that was around them. But Harry was paying more attention to Mrs. Weasley, she was very pale, skinnier, and she looked like she hadn't slept in days.

"Hello, Harry, dear," she said softly, like if she couldn't speak because she had been yelling too much. All of a sudden, the fire went alive; Harry recognized the head popping in the fire as an auror he had only seen by sight. The auror called for Mrs. Weasley, she headed for the fire, crouched down and talked in hushed whispers to it. Harry looked at the Baudelaires to see their expression, and he saw that it was of utter horror. He walked towards them to comfort them.

"Don't worry, that's nor--" he was interrupted by Mrs. Weasley; she had just gave out a small shriek and was sitting on the floor crying. Harry made towards Mrs. Weasley but was stopped by Tonks. Remus crouched next to her and she threw herself in his arms sobbing like when she had encountered the boggart in Grimmauld Place. Lupin said something that Harry couldn't catch and the auror's head disappeared. Lupin literally hauled Mrs. Weasley to her feet. Still sobbing, she let herself drop. Lupin caught her. She was sobbing hysterically, and this had evidently woken up Fred, George, and Ginny, for next thing they knew, they were headed down the stairs. Lupin couldn't hold Mrs. Weasley any longer, so Fred and George went to help him. Harry saw that Ginny had her eyes filled with tears and that the twin's usual smile was replaced by looks of worry Harry had seen them carry only once, when Voldemort's snake attacked Mr. Weasley. Wait a minute, the twins, here? Didn't they have a store to look after in Diagon Alley? The twins sat their mother in a seat near the table and stayed there trying to make her calm down. Lupin turned to Harry; he didn't have to be a genius to know that Harry wanted to know what was going on. He sighed and he walked slowly towards Harry. He put a hand on his shoulder and looked down while speaking.

"Harry, you must be strong, but something really serious is happening to your friend Ron…" he said slowly. Then he suddenly noticed, Ron hadn't sent him a birthday present, Ron hadn't written to him all summer, and Ron was right now nowhere to be seen…

"Where is Ron?" he asked, putting emphasis on every word he spoke.

"He's in St. Mungo's," said Lupin, still refusing to meet Harry's eyes.

"What's he doing there?" Harry asked, eager for an explanation. Lupin sighed, not sure of where he should start, but he figured he should start from the beginning…

"It all started a few weeks ago…"

Flashback:

"RUN, RON, RUN!" bellowed Mr. Weasley as the rest of the members of the order fought against the death eaters. Ron instantly obeyed his panicky father and ran to the next alleyway that crossed his path; the thing is that the first alleyway that crossed his path was Knockturn Alley. He walked slowly; the alleyway was so quiet that he could hear his heart beating in his ears. He heard a crack behind him, he turned sharply, wand at the ready, but he saw no one. Breathing heavily, he turned around to see three hooded figures with their wands out, pointing at his chest. The three of them exclaimed "Expelliarmus!" and Ron flew about 5 feet away, his body collapsing with great force against a stonewall. Ron was dumbfounded for a minute before acknowledging that the death eaters were picking him up from the floor. When he was on his five senses, he started kicking and struggling against the death eaters. They let him drop on the floor and they used the Cruciatus curse on him. The silent alley got filled with Ron's agonizing screams of unbearable pain. When they stopped, they laughed at the shaking figure in the floor wich was Ron. Then one of them lifted his wand and exclaimed "Imperio!"

End of Flashback

"And at that precise moment we found them. Ron had fallen unconscious, but after he woke up, he wasn't acting like himself. Sometimes he disappeared for days and returned late at night gravely wounded. And now, we have just been informedthat between the death eaters that attacked your aunt and uncles house, he was one of them…" Lupin lowered his head and Mrs. Weasley continued to sob. Harry couldn't believe what he'd just heard, Ron, a death eater?

"Wh-why is he in St. Mungo's?" Harry asked feebly.

"They are trying to get the Imperious curse off him. It seems to be a very powerful sort of Imperious, more difficult to fight and it works by distance," said Lupin, "tomorrow we're going there to see him." Harry nodded, though he wasn't very keen to see in what state his best friend was.

"Well," said Mrs. Weasley, getting up and wiping her tears, "it's time to go to bed, all of you. Harry, you and Klaus will be— will be sharing Ron's room," she said with great difficulty, "Violet will share rooms with Ginny, and I'll conjure up a cradle for the baby." She said taking Sunny in her arms. They slowly went up to the dorms and Harry went up the stairs, his feet as heavy as his heart, filled with worry of how his best friend was.
