Harry, Ron, and Hermione went out from Hogwarts again tonight to keep plugging away at the list of suspected Death Eater locations that Dumbledore gave Harry at the end of the summer. They were trying to check out two of the locations tonight. The first, like the others they’ve tried to look through, was useless and did not yield anything.
They thought the second might be the same, and were feeling a little defeated as they arrived. In that home, though, they actually came across Death Eaters. If there are one or two DEs who want to have been there and gotten into a fight with the Trio, and lost (they could have dealt some injuries though) comment and we’ll work it out. If no one wants it, we’ll make it some faceless DEs or, if someone wants it to be, a DE family member of a PC. Just comment.
After defeating the DEs there, they found Ollivander - obviously recently tortured. They panicked a little, since they hadn’t been expecting to find anything and they were really looking for Horcruxes and not prisoners, but after a quick discussion they decided that they needed to get him to an Order safehouse.
The problem is, they don’t want the Order to know what exactly they’re doing searching these locations, so Hermione came up with the idea to take him to Viktor’s home in Hogsmeade. They apparated there with him, and explained what they could in vague terms about how they’d found him. They told Viktor to contact Bill Wealsey, Ron’s idea, about getting him to a safehouse, then they left.
