Chapter 10
Disclaimer on opening note
Ruby Kennedy sat in a dull looking room on her new bed. She wore a very mute, white dress and sandals. Nothing in this room could Ruby call her own. It just wasn't her style. She had not seen Voldemort since she had arrived and a month or so had passed. His servant, Wormtail, would only tell her that she would see him in due time. He was making the vital preparations for his homecoming, and that meant actually getting a home. Other then that, Ruby was alone in her room; no books, no homework, nothing.

Severus Snape sat in his chambers; awaken again by the burning of the mark on his arm. He got up and ran some cold water over his arm. It was becoming more frequent, especially after Ruby had left.
"Ruby," he said aloud. His thoughts had come back to her again. What had happened to her? The dark lord wouldn't have taken her? Why would he want her? But something told him he knew who she was with. He thought about the days after she was gone and the meeting the teachers had had:
--- All the teachers had been asked to meet in the lounge with Dumbledore. They had all taken a seat.
"As you have noticed, a student is missing," Dumbledore started. "She has not been seen since the middle of the Yule Ball. Miss Granger and Miss Weasley have informed me that she did not return to the dormitory that night. Now, Hagrid has been searching the Forbidden Forest And the ghost have been searching the castle."
All but Moody sat in silence.
"It smells of dirty work of He-who-must-not-be-named!"
"Really, Moody," McGonagal scoffed. "Let us not jump to conclusions!"
"Minerva, I'm afraid I may have to agree with Moody."
"But, Albus, how can it be? Wouldn't we know?" She looked over at Snape who lowered his head. McGonagal was horrified.
"We all must keep our guard up as the end of the Tri-wizard tourment is very soon."
---
And the end of the tournament did come and all, including Snape's fears where proven.
* very short chapter, one more to go!
