Chapter 7: Where is Harry Potter?
Ron Weasley was a nervous wreck it has been ages since he'd heard from his best mate and even then his letter had been cryptic. What was Harry on about? All he'd said was that something was bugging him and he needed some time to sort it all out. But how much time did he need it's been months now since he'd disappear without a trace. What if something had happened to him, what if he'd been taken by death eaters. Ron was worried because term starts in about one week and there have been no word from Harry.
Hermione was close to losing her mind. What was going on? Harry has been missing for months now and no one have been able to locate him. She was sure that there was more going on than what Harry had said in his letter and she was sure Dumbledore knew more than he was saying. She knew that something had happened between Harry and the headmaster at the end of term last year but no one had said anything. She had tried everything possible to locate him but even scrying didn't work it was as if he'd just fell off the face of the earth. Another thing that was bothering Hermione was Dumbledore's condition. The headmaster hasn't been the same since Harry's disappearance. He'd done everything in his power to find Harry but it was no use. No one had heard or seen anything about Harry, she just hoped he would be back in time for school.
Dumbledore was beside himself what had he done? Harry's disappearance was due to his lack of good judgment concerning the boy. He had wanted to spare him the knowledge of the prophecy for as long as possible. He wanted him to have some semblance of a childhood before the problems of the world was placed on his shoulders. Harry should not have to deal with this, Merlin knows he'd had his share of hardships. In the last five years Dumbledore had watch him grow from a shy uncertain boy to a brave young man who would do anything to save the people he cared about. Dumbledore had been moved by Harry's capacity for love even though he himself grew up without any love. Harry was quiet a remarkable boy and now that he thought about it Dumbledore knew he should've have mentioned the prophecy to Harry before. Maybe if he had. Sirius would probably be alive today and Harry could have had the happiness the he so rightly deserves. Dumbledore just hope that Harry would be back soon he needed to talk to him and make him understand that he thought he was doing the right thing.
Remus was sick with grief first he'd lost his best friend whom he had just found. And now it seems that he had lost the only link he had left to the people he loved. After he had received his letter from Harry telling him that they should help each other through this because they were all that each other had. When he'd said that he needed some time to sort out some things Remus thought that he would seclude himself for a few weeks. But instead he'd been gone for months and no one knew where to find him. Remus was pretty sure that Harry was still alive he just didn't know what kind of condition he was in. All he could do was hope for the best.
The Weasley home hadn't been the same since Harry's disappearance. Molly felt as if one of her sons was taken away from her. She was worried sick, she went about her days in a sort of daze. She would twitch at every sound and would jump every time someone would come through the door. Molly knew that she should have done something about Harry's situation. She knew he was being ill treated by his relatives, and he'd gone through so much since his first term at Hogwarts. Yet Dumbledore always insisted that he returned to those monstrous people, and every time he went back it was at the aftermath of something terrible and he was left on his own with no one to talk to. If he ever comes back she was not going to sit back and allow him to be mistreated anymore.
Author Weasley was in as bad a shape as is wife, he just went about his days as best as he could. He wasn't even interested in muggle objects anymore. He couldn't help it his seventh son was gone and no one knew where to find him. Author had used all of the ministries resources in an attempt to find his son to no avail, so all he could do now was wait and hope he will return safely. Everyone was feeling the effect of losing Harry. Even the twins weren't their usual mischievous self. And Ginny, Ginny was taking it very hard. She spends most of her time in her room and hardly spoke to anyone. Molly noticed the condition of her family and hoped that Harry would be home soon so her family could be together again.
