The three Gryffindors shuffled their feet and looked about nervously. There
was a very pregnant pause.
The stone gargoyle abruptly came to life and jumped aside, revealing the entrance to Dumbledore's office. They hesitantly stepped inside. "Harry what are you all doing here," a surprised Katie Bell asked.
"I was about to ask you the same question," Harry replied.
Inside the tiny living room apart from Ron, Harry, and Hermione were the same seventh years that joined them on the train ride. Before any more questions could be asked Dumbledore appeared.
"You are all here for a reason that has to do with those very close to you. I'm sure you are all well aware of the circumstances that befell your friend Angelina. This was no mere coincidence. Angelina has a relationship with Harry so secret that even he does not know it." he gave Harry a wink and a smile before turning to Angelina's friends. "I myself do not have the right to tell you everything. That right remains with Angelina and I trust her enough to tell you what you need to know." His face broke into a smile," The reason I have called you six today is for once in the entire time you have been here not for troublemaking. Yes, Mr. Jordan, despite what you may have done. I have some good news. Angelina has been released from St. Mungo's. She will not be able to return to classes for quite awhile,("Lucky kid"), but at this moment she is waiting for you in the Gryffindor common room."
Five pairs of eyes lit. They looked at him anxiously.
"Yes, yes go ahead, but I daresay you'll be back soon enough demanding answers."
By the time he had finished his sentence, Lee, George, Fred, Katie, and Erica had already gone to greet their friend. Hermione, Harry, and Ron on the other hand, had started to feel quite uncomfortable being ignored all this while.
Dumbledore said with his back still turned, "No, Mr. Potter I have not forgotten about you." He sighed. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. There is no easy way to say this but...Professor Lupin is missing, Harry." He paused
Harry was beyond words as well as Ron.
Hermione stuttered," bu- but, what happened?"
Dumbledore sighed again.
