Chapter 10: Missing
Friday evening James and Lupin showed up in the Great Hall for dinner. Dumbledore had given them permission to use the History of Magic classrooms for their work. Harry, Katelyn, James, and Lupin worked until after midnight. They also worked all day Saturday and all afternoon on Sunday.
"This is going a lot quicker than when we did this last time," said James Sunday evening.
"That's because we do not have to find out how to do it," said Lupin, "We already know."
"We also do not have to do it is secret, like you did," said Harry.
"That is a benefit," said Lupin, "I predict that we will be a true animagus by Christmas."
"It took us what? Nearly four years?" said James.
"Yeah," said Lupin.
"Dad will be so pleased," said Katelyn.
"If he isn't mad at us for starting without him," said James.
"Who? Sirius? He wouldn't get mad at you, would he?" said Harry, "He'll be glad that you are teaching us how to be like you guys were."
"True," said James, "He will be pleased. It's Lily that I'm worried about."
"Why?" asked Harry.
"She is not thrilled with the idea of you breaking the rules," said James, "You aren't suppose to become animangi until after you finish this year."
"Oh well, she'll live," said Lupin.
"Time for you to get to bed," said James, "We will see you next weekend."
The next few months passed by quickly. It turned out that Harry was going to become a stag just like his dad. Lupin told them that he could have guessed that beings Harry's patronus was also a stag. Katelyn was going to become a parrot. She loved this idea because she was the only one who could take while in their animal form. It was the second Friday of December. Harry, James, and Lupin were already in the class room.
"So tonight is the big night," said James, "You will finally be an animagus."
"Yeah, I can't wait," said Harry.
"I wish that we could go back to the night that you became an animagus and stop Peter from becoming one," said Lupin.
"That would be great," said James, "Mary told me that from the time that he killed all of those people until Sirius escaped he was living with some family as a pet rat."
"Yeah," said Harry, "the Weasley's, he was Ron's pet."
"You mean he was living with your friend?" said James.
"Yeah," said Harry, "wait, if he was living with Ron, how could he have been checking up on Katelyn?"
"Mary said that he always said the family thought he was asleep," said James.
"You mean all the time we thought he was hiding somewhere sleeping he was actually going to see Katelyn and her mom!" exclaimed Harry.
"I guess so," said James.
"I don't mean to change the subject, but shouldn't Katelyn be here by now?" asked Lupin.
Harry looked at the clock. "She should have been here an hour ago," he said starting to get a little worried. "I'll go check the common room and the library. Maybe she lost track of time." Harry hurried off to find her.
He first looked in the library but no one was in there. Then he went to the Gryffindor tower. He found Hermione and Ron studying at a table in the corner.
"Have you seen Katelyn?" Harry asked.
"No," said Ron.
"We thought she was with you," said Hermione looking up from her book.
"She was suppose to meet us in the History room an hour ago, but she never showed up," said Harry.
Hermione got a worried look on her face. "That isn't like her," she said.
"I know," said Harry.
"Why don't you check the map?" asked Ron.
"Good idea," Harry said. He ran up the stairs to the boys' dormitory and opened up his trunk. He pulled out the old piece of parchment. It showed Albus Dumbledore in his office. James Potter and Remus Lupin in the History class room. Minerva McGonagall was in her class room. Professor Trelawrney was in the north tower. Severus Snap was in the dungeons. Susan Rose was in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were in the corner of the Gryffindor common room. However Katelyn was nowhere to be found. Harry ran back to the common room. "She isn't on it," said Harry.
Both Ron and Hermione looked extremely worried. "We should tell Dumbledore," said Hermione.
