When the students had returned to Hogwarts, things weren't the same. Their defense against the dark arts teacher had left to go help the ministry out and Hagrid had left on a mission, leaving them with a cranky old wizard with a bad memory. Patrick looked down the corridor and motioned for Alex to follow, TJ close behind.
"Repeat to me again while we're stealing from our head house." He said nervously as they hid in the shadows.
"She's Dumbledore's right hand and she has Hogwarts' most important records in her office. We need to find out what's going on around here." Said Alex and used her wand to open the office door. When they entered, Patrick tripped on the edge of his robes and TJ caught him.
"Pat, will you relax!" he hissed and turned to Alex, who was already reading a huge book. The two boys came up to her side.
"Ok, Voldemort hated muggles and all, who doesn't know that?" asked TJ, reading one page but Alex chose to ignore him.
"At the Quidditch World cup this guy by the name of Lucius Malfoy was caught talking to Cornelius Fudge outside the tent my brothers, dad, uncles, and grandpa were sleeping in." Alex explained. The boys listened carefully. "The old kook kept going on about muggleborns and half-breeds being in danger and it was obvious he and my grandfather hate each other."
"So why are we here?" asked TJ and Alex glared at him.
"TJ think about it, I'm a half-breed and Pat is a muggleborn. We're in far more danger than you are." She informed. TJ nodded and let the red head continue her search.
"So, what does it say?" asked Patrick, leaning against the desk and looking around in the dark. Alex frowned into the dark and held her wand closer to the pages.
"This book is useless, we have to get going before Filch comes." She answered, using her wand to close it and put it into the teacher's desk before sneaking off into the darkness once again.
"How do you know that book is useless?" asked TJ.
"Trust me, we wouldn't have gotten any more information out of there than we would have easily found in 'The Rise and Fall of Dark Wizards'." She informed and stopped, looking back over her shoulder. "Where's Patrick?" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
John groaned tiredly and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as Sara forced all of the fourth year boys out of bed. "Well are you doing in here?" he asked grumpily. Sara glared at him and Josh appeared from behind her.
"Patrick Ward is missing, so is a Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and even a Slytherin." He informed. John sat up quickly.
"That kid is a muggleborn according to Alex." Said Kel tiredly, from his bed as he ran his hand over his messy hair.
"That's right, and we have to find him." Said Sara, tossing them their cloaks. Marcus groaned and was about to get out of bed when McGonagall entered the room.
"Relax, we found him. He was found outside the Forbidden Forest by Hagrid." She said, and Sara rushed out the room, followed by Josh and John. When they entered the common room Alex had her arms around the young boy's neck, crying dramatically into his shoulder.
"Stop crying Alex. I told you I was ok." He said sheepishly. She looked up at the boy and began to cry even harder than before. TJ shook his head knowingly.
"Told you to stick close mate." He informed sternly.
"But I did." Informed Patrick. "Then someone grabbed me and everything went black!" Patrick informed. McGonagall cleared her throat and nodded to the three younger kids.
"Will you three come with me please?" she asked.
"Professor, may I come along as well, I'd LOVE to know how my little sister has lost her mind." Said John and McGonagall nodded, the four Gryffindors following her out of the room.
Author's Note: well since so much is happening in such close time, the story is going to continue on into mid-December, but will tell what went on with in the time period before then.
