Chapter 2

The first day of classes went as was planned, same with the next day until I got a note from mother. Just from one look at the writing I could tell that she was worried about something. Her neat handwriting was now somewhat messy. It was easy to see that she was shaking. The ink had been running and small circles like tears had hit the page. I knew it wasn't going to be a normal first letter like the years before.

Dear James,

I hate to worry you with this being your first week of classes and last year, but you must know this. When your father left to go on his mission he was supposed to be back yesterday. I got a letter from the ministry today nobody has seen anybody who went. They all fear they're dead. A search party was sent out to look for them early this morning. By the time you read this there might be some new information on what has happened. Tell Teddy, Professor Longbottom, Al, and Rose, but nobody else. I don't want Lily worrying too much.

Love, Your mother

I told Teddy first. Mainly because he was teaching defense against the dark arts since I was in my fifth year, and I had his class next. But he was older, and been through this kind of stuff more than I had.

"Teddy!" I said in a frantic voice when entering his class earlier than anybody had ever in the history of Hogwarts.

"What's the matter? You seem worried." He said. He was the kind spirited type. Everybody says he got that from his dad, and from being half raised by my dad. I didn't get this personality, but Al did. Both Al and I got a long look of a picture taken when my dad was in his fifth year. They were almost identical!

"Yeah, I am. I just got this note from mum. Dad didn't come home from a mission when he was supposed to. The ministry sent out a search party to find him." I handed him the letter and let him read it for himself.

"Oh my God! This is bad."

"Yeah, I know it is."

"What did everyone else say?"

"I haven't told them. I don't even know if I should fallow what mum said and tell them." The next people came into the room for class. I wanted them to leave so Teddy and I could finish our conversation.

"No, you need to tell them. I'm going to worn Professor McGonagall about this. We might have to leave if they find your dad's body still alive."

"Wait!" I told him, "Tell Professor Longbottom for me. It will be lease thinking about it for me."

"Yeah, I understand." Teddy said to me with me smile.

"Find your dad's body still alive." This ran through my head a million times. I just stood still, and asked myself, "Why could he not be alive?"

When I told Al and Rose at the same time, Al looked scared Rose did a little. Her reply was, "Did my dad go on that mission?" I didn't know. I hoped not, that more worrying for us. I replied to my mum that night.

Dear Mum,

I've told everyone. Teddy told Professor McGonagall what was going on. Rose wants to know if Uncle Ron was with Dad. Was there anything else found about what's going on? There's nothing else I can say.

Love you, James
