When Lupin, Harry and Ron arrived back at the house, they were all pale and trembling. Remus instantly went to find Mr. Weasley.
"Arthur! Arthur, there's been an attack!"
Arthur turned to face Remus. "An attack? When? Where? On whom?"
Lupin tried to catch his breath. "On the Grangers…we found the two of them…"
A look of horror passed over Arthur's face. "You found them dead? And only two of them?"
Remus nodded. "Mr. And Mrs. Granger. Arthur, they had the Dark Mark."
"But what about Hermione, where is she? Is she…"
"We didn't find her…or her body," Remus confessed. "She wasn't at the house, her scent was gone."
"but then she's… you don't think she's been taken do you?"
"Arthur, their bodies were deteriorating. They died awhile ago. She'd have contacted us if she could."
"So either she's been taken or…" Arthur couldn't bring himself to say the words.
"Or she's dead."
Molly walked in, her face pale. "Who's dead?"
