Sirius took the small bottle but grumbled about it.
"I'd have been here sooner, but I needed to shake off the Death Eater tailing me,"
Remus said. "So, you came straight here after the wedding?"
"Yes," Hermione confirmed. "Since all four of us couldn't Side-Along together
without serious risks of splinching, this was the only semi-safe place we could think of on
such short notice."
"Tell us what happened after we left; we haven't heard a thing since Ron's dad told
us the family was safe," Harry begged.
"Well, Kingsley saved us," Remus said. "Thanks to his warning, most of the
wedding guests were able to Disapparate before Death Eaters arrived."
"Were they actual Death Eaters or Ministry people?" Hermione interjected.
"A mixture, but for all intents and purposes, they're the same thing now," Remus
answered. "There were about a dozen of them, but they didn't know you were there, Harry.
Arthur heard a rumour that they tried to torture your whereabouts out of Scrimgeour
before they killed him. If it's true, he didn't give you away."
"That's surprising," Harry admitted.
"The Death Eaters searched the Burrow from top to bottom," Remus went on,
"and then they interrogated those of us who remained for hours. They were trying to get
information on you, Harry. Of course, no one apart from the Order knew that you had
been there. When that didn't work, they began asking about Sirius. Though no one outside
the Order has seen you since you've returned, at least not until the wedding, rumours had
reached their ears."
"What did they ask about me?" Sirius inquired, sipping his butterbeer.
"Mostly if any of us knew if you were really back, and if so, how it was possible."
Remus sighed and looked to Hermione. "They were just trying to rile me up, I could tell.
Didn't work, though," he said with a smile.
"'Course not." Sirius grinned. "Takes more than an interrogation to break you,
Moony."
"Others.. ." Remus's smile faded. "They burnt down Dedalus Diggle's house, and
they used the Cruciatus Curse on Tonks's parents."
"What?!" Sirius jumped up and kicked his chair over, sending it skidding across the
room, where it splintered against the wall. "They hurt 'Dromeda?!"
