The Map

"Where could she have gone?" Buffy asked, exasperated. This wasn't like slaying. This was thinking.

"Maybe they have a secret compartment, you know, something small that wouldn't show up." Willow suggested.

"Maybe they have an invisibility cloak, too," Xander said.

"But she would've shown up on the map," Harry said.

"The map!" Buffy cried. "It would've shown who she was and where she went! I'm so stupid for not thinking of it sooner!"

"Let's go," Hermione said. "She's bound to be back sooner or later."

Buffy, Harry, and Willow got under the invisibility cloak and crept back to Filch's office to wait. After several minutes, Filch and Mrs. Norris reentered the office. The woman's voice was soon heard.

"That slayer's getting close something must be done."

Buffy activated the map quickly, shocked in seeing that only Filch and Mrs. Norris were in the office.

"She's changing herself into a cat," Willow said suddenly.

"Oh my god, you're right! How could I not have seen it? It's so obvious," Buffy cried. "Let's go to Dumbledore right away."

The group hurried off to see the headmaster.
