A/N: Hello! Sorry about the late update, life has been hectic. It is a really short chapter and it is kind of just an add on to the previous chapter. ENJOY! Also I am going to upload a new story soon so go check it out (probably won't be up for another week)!

Chapter 4: Where's Cori?

Sirius POV

"Where is Cori?" Sirius asked his friends, "she wasn't on the train or at the feast."

"Fuck, you're right. Check the map." said James. The marauders ran up to their dorm and Sirius retrieved the map from his trunk. They spent half an hour looking around the map until Peter piped up, "There she is! In Dumbledore's office!"

The boys took off towards the headmaster's study, nearly running over some first years playing gobstones in the common room, intent on finding out what was wrong with their friend.

"LEMON DROP!" shouted Remus as they neared the stone gargoyle. It didn't budge.

"Cockroach clusters!"

"Chocolate Frogs!"

"Drooble's best blowing gum!"

"Acid pops!"

"Blood pops!" shouted Sirius. The gargoyle moved aside. For a moment the boys just stood there.

"Oh that is just nasty." said James, grimacing at the thought. The boys ran up the stairs and burst through the doors. Cori wasn't there. "Hello boys. What can I do for you this fine evening?" asked Dumbledore in his usual mystical tone.

"Well…" "We…" "Uh…" "You see…" All the boys started talking at once. "Cori is missing!" Sirius shouted over his friends.

Dumbledore chuckled. "I assure you, Ms. Pendragon is perfectly safe, and not missing. You just missed her, in fact. There was an incident over the holiday and she needed to stay home to help out her family."

"But why?" "What happened?" "When is she coming back?"

"Ms. Pendragon will be returning to the school tomorrow and I must ask you to not question her about what has happened. She will tell you in her own time. But for now, I need you boys to go to bed. Tomorrow will be a long day. Goodnight." There was a chorus of "night", and the four boys walked dejectedly out of the office. All thinking the same thing,

"What the hell is going on?"

A/N: Sorry about the short chapter! It just seemed like a good place to stop. Please review and tell me what you think! Also if you would like I am looking for some OC's to be in the other houses. I have have Cori, Jessica, Marlene Mary, Dorcas, and Lily. I need people to be in the other houses and years as well so leave a short biography about you character and I will consider you! =) Until next time! *Spins, trying to disapperate* I'm still here? Well crap. *Walks out shamefully*
