Harry tried to remember if he'd told Sirius the story from second year of how they'd found an important note clutched in Hermione's paralyzed hand, but then he shook his head because it didn't matter now. "Yes, we always look for her notes when this happens." The beat he took after saying that implied to all that Harry thought Hermione was incapacitated far too often. "The only place we couldn't check was her office at the Ministry."
He turned to Padma next. "I think you're right, though. She probably found something and went looking on her own." Like she always does. "So, that means whatever Hermione was looking for was in the Ministry, right?"
