This is just a teeny tiny short little chapter, don't worry, I will have a longer one up as soon as I can J
The feast was just finishing up and Ron and Hermione were glancing frantically around for any sign of their best friend. "Where do you think he could be?" Hermione whispered worriedly to Ron. "Its not like him to miss the train, he loves Hogwarts." "I know," Ron whispered back, "you don't suppose anything," he paused, "bad happened?" Hermione cast a furtive glance around and spoke slowly, "I don't know, you think Dumbledore would have informed us if anything had happened to Harry, but," she added worriedly, "There hasn't been any news of Voldermort lately, and I started thinking that maybe he was planning something big. I dreadfully hope is has nothing to do with Harry though." She spit out hurriedly with one glance at Ron's face.

The headmaster looked over the top of his spectacles gravely for a moment, "And he didn't owl any of you about not coming?" Hermione and Ron shook their heads. Dumbledore's eyes closed for a moment in thought, "Ok then, I will send someone to check up on him immediately." "Thank you sir," Hermione smiled softly. She and Ron then hurried out of the great hall and back to the Gryffindor Common room as Dumbledore turned and gave a meaningful look at Severus.
Hermione and Ron were sitting worriedly on the couches in the common room, it had been a month since school started, and there was still no sign of Harry. He hadn't even owled them. They were starting to get quite concerned. They remembered about a month ago, the day after the feast to be specific; they had been worried the whole train ride up, and then Harry hadn't shown up at the feast. They had almost been annoyed at him, not showing up like that, but now . . .
