"Where'd Harry go?" Hermione asked.
"Don't know," said Ron, "I saw him leaving the classroom about five minutes ago."
"I've got a bigger question," said Neville, who was completely green, "Where's Professor Riddle?"
"Don't know that either," said Ron.
The bell rang and the class went into the hall. Just as Hermione stepped out the door she was nearly ran over by a big black dog. He was closely followed by a deer, wolf, and owl.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
The dog barked and took off again on a run. Hermione, Ron, and Neville followed the animals to Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore was sitting at his desk and looked up sharply as the animals and students came bursting through the door.
"What is the matter?" he asked looking at the students.
"We don't know, sir," said Ron, "but Harry left Professor Riddle's class about five minutes before class was over and never returned."
"Riddle is missing too," Hermione added.
A look of fear crossed Dumbledore's face. They had never seen this before. "Miss Granger," he said urgently, "Please, go get the typewriter."
Hermione left for the Gryffindor tower and returned shortly. She set the typewriter on the desk. Lily then flew over to it.
It began typing.
Lily: I was in the class room. Riddle gave Harry a note and he left the room. I followed him out into the hall and he disappeared. You've got to find him!!
"I will do my best," he said, "Mr. Weasley, go get the map out of Harry's things. If he is still in the building it will tell us where. Mr. Longbottom, go get Professor Snape."
Neville cringed a little, but both boys left and did as they were told.
Snape came in shortly followed by Neville. He glared at the animals sitting in the Headmasters office.
"What do you need?" he asked.
"Mr. Potter is missing," said Dumbledore, "It appears as though Professor Riddle has kidnapped him."
"I will keep my ears open for any news about him," said Snape.
"Please do," said Dumbledore.
Ron then came in with the map. Half and hour of searching proved that he was no longer in the castle.
