What of the Unknown

Chapter 1: Gone

Harry entered the halls of the mansion, the magical bug in his ear silent. He moved down the hall and started to check every door he came to making sure there was nothing suspicious, luckily this was only a routine job, so he was not worried.

"Harry?" said the bug in his ear.

Harry placed a finger over the bug and replied "Yes, Ron what is it?"

"Are you almost finished, Nathan is just finished questioning the residents."

"Almost I just have to check the top floor and the grounds"

"Okay Harry, over and out."

Harry quickly went up the stairs systematically checking the rooms until he came to the last one.

He was just about to leave went a glimmer caught his eye, he went over to the small table under the window sill and found a small pendent with a bird engraved in it. He turned it over and found a small inscription and he read it, 'existing' was all it said, however if he looked closer he could see a word that had been worn away. Harry could only make out the letters m, and e.

Harry looked up and saw a shadow of a human standing by a tree out the window. He then turned, with the pendant in hand and quickly and quietly made his way out of the house, wand in hand.

"Ron, I'm checking the grounds now, and I think I saw something"

"Okay Harry, be careful."

"Over and out"

Harry made his way to the tree were he saw the shadow and carefully check it and the area surrounding it and saw nothing out of the normal, 'Must have been a mirage' he thought.

"There is nothing here, I'm…"

"Harry, Harry," Ron yelled into the receiver, the only reply was the silence of a line gone dead.

Hermione and Ron stood on the steps of Hogwarts looking out on to the grounds.

"Ron", Hermione spoke, "he can't be gone, can he?"

"I don't believe it, but we check any where he could have been, the other squad of aurors check everywhere as well and came up with nothing."

"I know but, I can't believe he's dead, not until there is evidence."

"All we found was his wand and this pendent" Ron replied placing the bird pendent in her hand, "He would want you to keep a hold of it, I would probably lose it any way."

"What about his wand?"

"Professor Dumbledore said he would hang on to it for now."

"You don't think the death eaters have got him, do you?"

"Na, they couldn't have, there was no evidence of dark magic, or any magic for that matter."

"Oh, well we have to find him Ron, something bad could have happened to him,"

"Yes, I have to find him,"

"Ron, what are you talking about, we have to do this together."

"No Hermione, I have to find him," Ron replied in a steady voice, "I was the one to cause him to disappear in the first place, " he added in a mumble, however Hermione heard.
"Ron, it wasn't your fault, no one could have helped this, you did not cause this." Hermione said forcefully.

"No, Hermione I did, I have to find him." Ron replied just as forcefully and began to make his way down the steps.

"Ron," Hermione said, "Bring him back to us."

Ron nodded once, kissed Hermione on the cheek and left.

A year later Hermione sat in the hospital wing waiting for Madam Pomfrey to tend to a patient.

It had been a year since Harry had disappeared and Ron had gone after him, a single tear slid down her cheek, 'why did I let Ron go, now I have lost both of them'.

"Hermione, dear it is time for your training, come over and help me with this patient" said the matron from the other side of the ward.

"Coming Poppy," Hermione said getting up, 'oh well an apprentice has to do what an apprentice has to do.
