"Where is--?" Auror Shaklebolt asked.
"Gone, just Apparated." confirmed Auror Mad-Eye Moody.
Kingsley Shaklebolt just nodded, trying his best to look grim when, like with the hunt for Sirius Black, he knew exactly where the suspect was.
Mad-Eye did this too, though it was like riding a bike for him.
Shakelbolt was still in training wheels when it came to lying to some of his best friends. He shook his head, mustering up some fake anger.
"Well, let's move!"
The rest of the crew nodded, all leaving the room with looks of disappointment, for they had come this close to catching that stupid ...
Mad-Eye and Shaklebolt stayed behind and nodded to each other.
It was worth it, this lying and pointless goose-chasing was.
Especially for him.
They left the room, making sure that no one saw their quick smiles to each other.
They better hurry, if they want to have warm meatloaf at Number Twelve, Grimalud Place. Molly would be vexed if they were late.
shakebolt sighed, Molly vexed easily these days, especially since Sirius had died.
But especially since Bill and Fleur got married.
And even more when Ron, Harry, and Hermione had gone missing just after the start of the new school year.
Now, Shaklebolt and Mad-Eye might not know where the three were, but they knew where the one person who did know was, and that he was in Tahiti.
