Note: Here's to another group of people that responded

To draculasbride2008: Well you can't expect Dumbledore to get married at Hogwarts, now can you.

To everyone else: Thanks

That night the students and staff were surprised to find that Dumbledore wasn't even at dinner and when asked where he was even Professor McGonagall didn't have the answer.

"You don't think he went on an important mission for the Order," Harry suggested to Luna.

"Might have," Luna answered.

They had forgotten about the name fight in light of the fact that Dumbledore was gone or worse, missing.

Harry wasn't the only one that was worried. Hermione was as well and so was her husband. Hermione, who was staying in her quarters, looked out the window and feared that something horrible had happened to Dumbledore. She turned over and went into an uneasy sleep.

Sirius, meanwhile, had his own problems. The Ministry of Magic had greeted his return by informing him that a half-blood witch had chosen him to be her husband. He didn't know who Mary Whiteheart was, but he figured that she had not been at Hogwarts when he had been in school. He decided to at least see her, to figure out why she wanted to marry someone like him. He wrote a letter back to her, telling her that he wanted to meet her at the Three Broomsticks.

"So do you know who she is?" Sirius asked Remus the next morning.

Remus shook his head in response.

"Well I asked her to meet me next week at the Three Broomsticks and I'm going to see what kind of witch she is."

Remus looked at him with sad eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"

Remus turned away from him.

"Oh come on, Moony, what's wrong?"

"I don't think you want to hear it," he said.

Sirius looked at him, even more determined to find out what's wrong with him.

"Oh come on, we were together at school," Sirius said. "You can tell me whatever is wrong with you. Trust me, I won't laugh."

Remus sighed and looked at him.

"I miss Hermione," Remus said.

Sirius snorted at him.

"Don't tell me that you're still pinning after my godson's best friend."

Remus crossed his arms and glared at him.

"I knew you were going to laugh," Remus said hotly. "I don't know why I even told you."

Sirius laughed at him.

"Because I made you," Sirius said. "So what are you going to do about it?"

He looked at him.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh come on, you love Hermione and you miss her," Sirius said. "So why don't you at least take her out."

"She won't want too," Remus muttered.

Sirius shook his head.

"Look, your going to have to take care of this before it eats you up." Sirius said. "Take Hermione out to some romantic restaurant and do what all good werewolves do."

Remus got up.

"Sorry that I even shared my feelings."

And he was gone.

March started with the usual complaint that most were feeling. Dumbledore had been gone for two weeks now and that meant that Hogwarts hadn't had a Valentines Day party or anything. Though Hermione was glad that she didn't have to dress up or anything and didn't join the girls that complained.

The next morning the Gryffindor Quidditch team set out to train for their match against Ravenclaw. Hermione showed no interest in watching even though Harry begged and pleaded with her. She was heading off to Professor McGonagall's office to find out more about what she couldn't remember. She just hoped that her Head gave her the right answers and not the wrong ones.
