A/N: Sorry for the late update Non-Existent Readers (though those who do read and review are UBER COOL)! I would just like to say thanks theKnowItAll because I love your stories! I really appreciate your comments and I hope I get more reviewers too *sigh*. 3 tiles away… that is SUCH an 'us' school type-thing joke isn't it? Hahaha! Anyway.. your review is very much appreciated!
Harry just sat there gaping at Dumbledore.
'Wh-what? Remus? Lupin? The werewolf? Our previous Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor? You're kidding right? Tell me you're joking!'
'Harry…' for once Dumbledore was speechless.
He looked at Dumbledore in disbelief, 'I don't believe you didn't do anything to help him! You, The Great Dumbledore, couldn't do anything to help! I don't believe it! He could be DEAD BY NOW!' he yelled. I took him about a minute to calm down before he stated more quietly, 'After what happened to Sirius… I… its just that… it's been so hard for me. My temper is on the edge again and… well… another loss is just…'
'Harry… I'm sorry. There really wasn't anything we could do for him and the only thing we can do to help is just to look for him,' Dumbledore said sadly.
'Sure… okay…' Harry just found out how it feels to be lost. He must have been in Dumbledore's office for a long time, with Dumbledore occasionally looking up at Harry worriedly and opening his mouth to say something that never left his lips, because the sky outside was already a royal, dark blue. He stood up from his chair and walked towards the door. But Dumbledore stopped him.
'Harry.. there is only one more thing that I have to ask from you,' Harry looked up at him, 'Please… please do not do anything rash and also just don't blame yourself,' Dumbledore said almost helplessly, as if knowing Harry would do otherwise, and with a nod, he let Harry go back to Gryffindor Tower.

Harry's mind was somewhere else when he made his way back to the Tower. He didn't even notice Peeves putting a pink clown's hat on his head. He finally the reached Gryffindor common room and noticed Ron and Hermione waiting for him, looking worried.
Harry noticed Ron's face crack into a smile while saying, 'I take it Dumbledore throws really good parties. I wonder why he didn't invite us…'
Harry looked confused for a minute before he looked up, managed a small smile, took the hat off his head and sat down at their usual armchairs near the fire and told Ron and Hermione everything Dumbledore told him.
Ron's reaction to the whole thing was almost similar to Harry's… actually it was very similar to Harry's reaction, 'What? Lupin? Moony? The marauder Moony? The coolest DADA teacher ever? No WAY!'
Hermione on the other hand looked very pensive, 'Why would Voldemort want to kidnap Professor Lupin? He has no actual significance that I know of…'
Harry thought of what Hermione said for a while. It was true. Remus had no actual significance in the whole Voldemort scenario… except for the fact that he was in the Order of course. But if it was that reason, then why didn't he kidnap someone weaker or easier to handle?
The trio sat in silence for a while contemplating on what Voldemort would want Remus for. Once in a while, Harry saw Hermione open her mouth as if to say something but she always kept closing her mouth again and goes back to thinking things through. It reminded him of what Dumbledore had done earlier.
They were completely oblivious of everything going on in the Common Room and finally after what felt like a million years, Ron pointed out that it was 2 in the morning and that they should get to bed.

The next morning, Harry moved around Hogwarts with a large, gray cloud hanging above his head, in the Great Hall, Draco Malfoy looked like he knew everything there is to know, Hermione kept shooting worried glances at Harry and Ron kept close to Harry just in case he did anything or went anywhere.
The mail had just arrived and Ron was just about to butter his bread when a loud shriek made everyone in the Great Hall jump, making Harry's stomach drop about five inches. Of course Harry's immediate thought as he whirled around looking for the source was Voldemort but it wasn't. He noticed Susan Bones looking horrified at the piece of parchment in her hand with a hand clamped over her mouth and tears in her eyes. Immediately, Harry noticed everyone in the Hall murmuring. He overheard Parvati say to Lavender, "Apparently the letters from her mother. Her father has gone missing… Kidnapped they think."
At these words, Harry's stomach dropped a further five inches. Blood rushed to his head and he lost all traces of the gray cloud that had been there just five seconds ago. He was angry at Voldemort and his stupid Death Eaters. Harry glanced over at Hermione at saw that she obviously thought the same thing he was.
Kidnapping in two days in a row?! What the hell is going on here!? What's Voldemort playing at?!?!
A/N: *sigh* another super short chapter… I'm losing my non-existent creativity/inspiration… This is a message directed to Smelly Welly Melly – What do you think Mr Greg would've thought of it? Seriously oh-kay? Melly… cerita ni ku memberi 'dedikasi' untukmu ah? Jangan bimbang aku memakai Bahasa Melayu… Saja kan membimbangkan sesiapa (orang-orang yang berbahasa Inggeris saja lah) yang membaca… Macam perasan sikit saja… Heeheehee… Sesiapa saja yang cakap Bahasa Melayu jua… Eh… Melayu ku bukan perfect ah? Jangan saja ketawa…
~~NOW!! If I don't get any reviews for my next chapter… I think I'm gonna stop writing this story…~~
