Chapter 29
James followed McGonagall and Dumbledore to Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore told him to "Sit down, this will probably come as a bit of a shock to you."
As McGonagall took her seat next to James, Dumbledore spoke.
"James, there is no easy way to say this, so I'm just going to give it to you straight." He paused when James made to stand up.
McGonagall put a hand on James' shoulder. "Please sit down James. You have to hear this."
James sat down. "It's Rion, isn't it? What's happened to him?"
McGonagall and Dumbledore exchanged glances, and Dumbledore continued to talk.
"Rion has disappeared. We do not know where he is, or why he is not responding to us."
"When?" Whispered James.
"Three days ago."
James got up and left the office.
Once he was out in the corridor he ran back to Gryffindor tower, where Sirius, Remus, Yvonne and Lily were waiting for him to return.
"What was that all about?" Demanded Sirius.
James ignored him and continued into his dorm.
Sirius and Remus followed him. When they got there, James was on his bed curled up in a ball.
"James? You ok?" Asked Sirius as he and Remus sat down on the side of his bed.
"I swear, my family must be cursed or something." James whispered.
"What do you mean?" Remus queried, but James refused to say any more.
"Remus and Sirius went to find McGonagall to ask her what had happened that had upset James so much. They spent about an hour searching the castle before they thought to check Dumbledore's office.
"What's the password, Remus?" Asked Sirius.
"How should I know?"
"Well, you are a prefect," Sirius replied. "What's the point of being a prefect if you don't even know the password to Dumbledore's office?"
"All I know is that it's always some kind of lolly." Remus replied irritably.
The two started throwing every name they could think of at the statue.
"Fizzing Wizzbees."
"Licorice Wands."
"Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans."
"Sugar Quills."
"Oompa Loompa's."
As they climbed the stairs leading to Dumbledore's office, Sirius asked Remus what Oompa Loompa's were.
"Muggle candy - You know Dumbledore."

"James?" Lily whispered, peering into the dorm.
Seeing him curled up on his bed, she went in and sat down next to him. "Are you ok?"
James remained silent, but turned to face the wall.
"Fine. I just wanted to see -" She gulped and turned to leave the dorm, but before she did an arm reached out and grabbed her hand.
She turned, and as she did so, he saw the hurt in her face.
"Lily, I'm sorry. It's just that Rion - he's disappeared, and I think -" He broke off.
Lily sat down and put her arm around him. "You think Voldemort?"
"Yeah." James croaked.
Silence descended upon them.
"James, y'know, I could get Amos to play Romeo if you want." Lily suggested after a while.
"No, I'll do it." Insisted James. "But I can't believe that Leanne is my 'true love'!"
A/N Sorry that was short again, but there will be more soon. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I'm in kinda a hurry at the moment so I'll have your names up next time. Wish me (Sploogal) luck in my piano exam! It's tomorrow morning (yay! I get out of English, maths, music and science!) I need lot's of luck! Tata for now!
