Ok, I know that I haven't been updating for a while, but I have been busy and everything has been kind of hectic at my house recently, so yeah. Anyway, thank you to everyone who reviewed.

RelientKroxmysox721: Thanks, I will.

PrincessMo: I'm doing my best, but it's not exactly easy because I need to decide what I want to happen next exactly.

Chantal J: glad you like it, I'll do my best to update.

sugar n spice 522: I'm glad you think different is good, I'm the same way. After all, if everything were the same, how would anything be interesting?

Lady Mariel: I haven't read either of those books, but I've heard their good.

Katanza: its good to know I've hooked you with this story. I'll update again as soon as I decide what to say next!

DanRadcliffe5666: nods it's a confusing story, I figured that out not too long ago. I'm sorry if I lost you in there, e-mail me with any questions you have.

Crimson Colored Cloaked Figure: of course and your welcome.

Shaz: I'm going as fast as I can on the writing, but the story line has taken some twists I wasn't counting on so I've had to change the order of events and that has caused some problems when I write. But I'm trying to update when I can. I might also start making the updates longer, so they might not be out as fast.

Mel: no, it doesn't cost anything to put a story on this site, all you need to do is get an account. To get an account just go to the register and follow the instructions from there. Let me know when you get an account. If you need any more help just e-mail me.

usagigreenleaf657: glad you think so.

Anyway, thanks again. E-mail me if you have any questions but be sure to put Naoku in the subject box so Jesse, Soju, and I know who its for. Thanks!

Chapter 12

Draco was dressed in record time and down to breakfast in minutes, though he didn't eat a thing. He was too worried. Pansy sat beside him, glancing every once in a while in his direction.

"Draco, you should eat something," she mentally told him. "If you don't then you'll never be able to make it through the day, much less investigate Harmony's disappearance."

"I don't feel much like eating right now Pansy," he told her before shutting his mind to her thoughts and words.

She was silent after that, not wishing to upset Draco. Finally, the class was called to the front entrance of the castle.

"Everyone," called Miss Griffinsin, who had reappeared during breakfast, "we're all going into Senscarica for the day. Everyone in this town is capable of speaking English to you. However, as you exit you may want to grab a dictionary of senscar incase you want to try to communicate with the people in their native tongue. Alright? We're walking to town, so please make a single file line, I want all of you to partner up, we may have an odd number and if we do we can have a group of three. Yes Mr. Potter?"

Draco turned to glance at Harry, who had his hand raised, and Ron who kept scanning the crowd. Both looked worried.

"Professor, Hermione isn't here yet, shouldn't we wait for her?" asked Harry.

"I'm afraid Miss. Lupuerins won't be coming with us today. She went missing last night."

Gasps and cries could be heard from the rest of the class, along with snickers and a few muttered "good riddance".

"Now hush," commanded Miss. Griffinsin, "the Lupuerins are doing all they can to find their daughter, though we are sure she has returned to her original hiding place."

Draco and Pansy glanced at each other, grateful no one had figured out yet that she had been kidnapped. They were most afraid the kidnapper would do something rash if she was discovered to have been kidnapped.

"And if this is the case," continued Miss. Griffinsin, "then she will most likely not be found. Now, get into groups of two and come get you dictionaries if you want them."

Draco and Pansy moved away from everyone else. They were to be partners, obviously, and did not need dictionaries.

"We need to make a plan," whispered Pansy when they were far enough away from the rest of the group. "I think our best bet is to disguise ourselves as sorcerers and try to figure out where any of Harmony's friends would hang out, assuming there are still some around or she kept in contact with them. Perhaps they know who might have taken her."

"I have a better idea," whispered Draco, drawing from his pocket the object he had found earlier in the loft. He opened his hand to reveal a small crystal disk and a crumpled piece of paper. "Why don't we go see if she is staying in her second home and what is on this disk."

Pansy's eyes widened. "Where did you find those?"

"They were hidden behind a fake stone in the wall of the loft in her room," explained Draco as he shoved the disk and paper back into his pocket and began to move back towards the rest of the group. They were filing out of the castle. "The paper appears to be a map that I'm assuming will lead to a hid-away she might have used and might still be using."

They walked down a long pathway towards the center of town. All along however, Draco noticed almost everyone they passed seemed to glare at them. The only ones who didn't were very young children, who were often pulled close to their parents.

One child dropped her ball into the street when her mother pulled her protectively towards her. It rolled towards Pansy who dropped nimbly to the ground and allowed the ball to roll into her arms. She approached the little girl and knelt down several feet away from her so as not to spook her.

"Tuil allive ereh," she whispered to the young child as she rolled to ball towards her. The child moved forward and scooped up the ball, grinning.

"Tuil arigata," she said quietly. "Tuil ohwa re?"

"Jio mea Pansy," responded Pansy kindly. The mother finally relaxed. Everyone knew who Pansy was in Senscarica, but because it had been a few years since her last visit she had not been recognized right away.

"Tuil arigata Pansy," said the girl again as Pansy stood to rejoin Draco so they could catch up with their classmates. The little girl waved and ran back to her mother.
Draco and Pansy had to practically run to catch their classmates, but they finally managed to rejoin them just as they entered the town square.
