On their way up to Transfiguration, Kenzie opened the letter she had gotten from Harry. It read:
Dear Kenzie,
Something terrible has happened that has changed our plans. You and Kayla will not be coming home for Christmas, and Jess and Harry are coming to stay at Hogwarts temporarily. Your mother and Kayla's mother have gone missing and I'm trying my best as Minister to find them, but it is not going well. Please stay out of trouble and I will contact you as soon as possible.
Hugs and Kisses,
Daddy
"Oh, no," Kenzie said. Her eyes began to fill with tears as she handed Kayla the letter. Kayla read it and they both began to cry. Chris opened his arms and Kenzie willingly went into them, and Kayla went into J.J.'s.
They arrived at Transfiguration, the girls still weeping.
"Anything wrong, girls?" asked Professor Finnegan. Seamus had learned to control his wand and had gotten the post as Transfiguration professor.
Kenzie handed him the letter and he read it.
"Oh. You two are excused from class today," said Professor Finnegan. "Have a seat."
