Chapter One – Worries and Plans
Albus Dumbledore stood staring out the window in his office, hands clasped behind his back.
"I'm sorry Albus, but...there's no sign of him anywhere, or even a clue as what could have happened to him," said Arthur Weasley sitting back in his chair wearily, "none of our spells can get anything out of the muggles except for "he went out like always and didn't come back". His room was totally cleaned out, like no one had even been living there." Remus had gone to Dumbledore because he and 'Snuffles' hadn't heard from Harry, they usually received two letters a week from him and they hadn't gotten even one, and they were in the second week. After Albus found out that he hadn't been there since the third day of summer holidays. Several different search teams had been sent out and they all came back empty handed. The-Boy-Who- Lived had truly disappeared.
"How is the family taking it?" asked Remus politely from his seat beside Mr. Weasley.
"Not well at all. Ron and Ginny barely talk, Fred and George are the same and their room is always quiet. Percy rarely leaves his room and works harder than normal, and that's saying something. Charlie and Bill have come home and don't even get me started on Molly," he replied rubbing the bridge of his nose. Dumbledore moved to sit in his chair and looked at the two sitting before him.
"I'm glad we managed to convince you to take the Minister of Magic position away from Cornelius, Arthur. We would never have had as much help with him in charge. I just wish we had more to go on..." Albus sighed, the ever present twinkle missing from his eyes.
"I believe that it is time to call in reinforcements to protect the school and the students, we need people who have the power and strength to do so, without creating mass hysteria by having an army in the school." Mr. Weasley and Remus both stared at the Headmaster. Surely he couldn't be thinking...could he?
"It's time we request the involvement of the Cidas."
He could.
