Ron's Hand: Part Two

It was a family meeting at the Burrow. All of the Weasley's, including Bill and Charlie, were there. The moment Ron's hand had moved to Mortal Peril, Arthur had summoned them all.

"Bill, you are to go to Lupin's house and tell him that Ron is missing. George, you go to Hogwarts and tell Dumbledore. He'll chip in and help. Fred, you can call Fiona's house and see if she knows were Ron is. Percy, you go to the Ministry and tell the Missing Persons Department. Charlie, you go search Hogmeade and the Forbidden Forest. Ginny, you stay here in case Ron comes home. Everyone got that? Okay, lets go!"

George was running up the steps, through the Great Hall, and smack into Professor McGonagall.

"Profes- (pant) Profes- (pant) Professor McGonagall! Ron's missing!"

A skeptical look crossed McGonagall's face. "Ronald?" she said sarcastically. "Right. And Harry is a Death Eater. Do you want something, George?"

"No, really!" Poor George's mischievous past was finally catching up with him.

McGonagall was losing her patience. Fast. "George, I don't have the time! With Voldermort on the up-rise, this has a very hectic summer! Poor Harry has bee worked to the bone, and we just don't have the time for your childish games! Now, what do you really want?"

"NO! Ron IS missing!"

McGonagall sighed deeply. Maybe George was telling the truth. "If he is missing, and I am not saying that he is, why are you so worried? He is 17 for Christ's sake! He is probably out with some friends, and lost track of the time. RELAX!"

It was George's turn to sigh deeply. "Have you ever seen our Grandfather Clock" He asked her.

"No, I am afraid that I haven't." She said sniffily "Why?"

"Our Grandfather Clock is not normal. It doesn't show the time. It shows were each of the family members are. Home, work, school, traveling," he said, ticking them off on his fingers "and," he gulped. "Mortal Peril. That's were Ron's hand is."

McGonagall could tell by George's somber face that this was no joke. "Okay," She said, still half-expecting George to go 'gotcha' at any minute, but decided to take him seriously anyway said, " So Ron is missing. I shall just assume that you didn't come here to tell me that, and take you to Professor Dumboldore's office."

George blushed slightly, but followed her to Dumblodore's office.

Okay, that was really short, but I was bored, and felt like posting something… Beat me…
