Confusion
Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, blinked once, twice, then stood up and apperated out of the Great Hall. Unfortunately, he had left behind a very confused student body, and a generally upset staff in the middle of dinner.
Minerva McGonagall, deputy headmistress, transfiguration professor, and Head of Gryffindor house blinked twice in an open mouthed imitation of the man that had just left. She then got up and started to take the 'long' way to the infirmary, for a confused Dumbledore could only mean that Harry Potter was somehow involved. A few of the worried Ravenclaws and Gryffindors could hear her grumbling "I always *knew* that he could do that. Apperation wards block him my ass." Of course that statement only caused the Ravenclaws to become more worried, and the Gryffindors to get scandalous grins on their faces, for *their* Head of House swore where her students could hear her. In the middle of dinner, no less!

Albus found himself in a small dome of a forest. Now this was discerning for three main reasons. One: he had never seen this forest before. Two: this was the last place Harry had been. And three: he was fairly certain that he was still in the hospital wing. But it wasn't until he decided to get to the wall and walk *around* the wall that he truly became worried. It seemed that the magic that transported the dome here had cut through three of the four walls in the room, taking almost all of one of the walls, but had stopped short of the door on the fourth wall. It looked as if it had not only cut through the walls at about a foot above where the bed would meet the wall, but it had also cut through a small girls arm at the wrist, taking off her left hand.
The Headmaster swore, and event in and of itself, and place the hand in a small temporary status bag. Then he searched the floor of the room at the edge of the circle for any more body parts. He was significantly more careful as he looked upon the floor, making sure that no others had been hurt. He was about halfway through the search when McGonagall entered, looking highly confused, but stopped in shock at the forest of where the patients had been. "Hea.Albus, what's happened here? Why.?"
Dumbledore stood up and looked her in the eye. "I have no idea Minerva, but I intend to find out. I need to continue searching here, but if you could be so kind as to take this," he handed her the small bag, "and find out who it belongs to, I would be most grateful."
"Yes, of course, Albus."
The next few hours consisted of fruitless searching. The few things they found out were that the left hand was quite most definitely Ginny Weasley's, there were no more clues in the room, and that Ginny was either dead, or no longer in the same dimension as her hand. Their next task was to make sure no one, light or dark, found out that Harry Potter was missing. Only professors McGonagall and Dumbledore, and Mme Pomfrey were subjected to that information. The other missing students, now everyone knew that they were missing almost immediately.

And that's all I'm posting at Hogwarts for now. Perhaps in five or six chapters I'll put an update as to how the wizarding world is dealing without their savior, even if they don't know it yet. The next chapter is going to be almost purely Severus/Harry. Mostly Severus at that. This chapter is dedicated to the following people: Gryphnwng-You were my first reviewer for this fic. For that I love you always ^_^ Dawnfire--*dances around too* I love Harry Potter, and I just recently got obsessed with M L. Boy was I missing out! Silver Angel-Yes, this is Storm Warning-ect. I'm not telling you where they got transported 'til next chapter, though! Thanks for the encouragement!
