The Trio Scavenges Food from a Farm and Reaches a Temporary Respite

PAGES: 287-288

After relocating to a far-flung field near a lonely farm, Hermione sneaks into the farm to collect eggs and bread. She leaves money under the chicken coop, feeling uneasy about whether this counts as stealing. Back at the camp, the trio enjoys scrambled eggs, and the atmosphere lightens as they relax with full stomachs. This rare moment of laughter offers some reprieve from their usual bickering and gloom, but Harry knows the Horcrux and hunger are constant challenges.
