Chapter 29 - Missing

Alice POV

"So what happened last night? After I went to bed?" I asked Ron. He had been one of the few that had stayed up to see the teachers coming back.

"Nothing really. They never came back so I just went to bed." Ron answered me.

Going to bed was a really Ron thing to do.

He always slept through important things. Then he woke up wondering "What happened?".

Hermione came rushing over, "Hurry up! We've got Professor Smith next! You don't want to be late or you're in trouble!"

I hastened my speed to keep up with my friend to was rushing on. Ron was following us from behind like a lost puppy.

We arrived at the door. It was closed. That was strange. All the students were stood outside waiting.

Professor Smith always had the door open for us. Something was up.

We joined the queue of Gryffindor's and Ravenclaws.

It twisted round the corner.

After 20 minutes of waiting we doubted she was going to show up.

A teacher just wasn't that late.

A speaking messenger charm flew across the corridor.

It stopped and started speaking.

"Class you may have a free period to revise. I am sorry that I cannot be with you but ermm business has held me up. You are dismissed."

The voice coming from the messenger charm sounded so like the professors voice.

It was weird even when I had been brought up with telephones.

Outside the ground was covered in snow. It was cold and crisp.

We wondered out in to the grounds.

"Why do you think Professor Smith isn't there? It's a bit... weird." I asked my two best friends.

"I'm sure she has a perfectly normal reason to be missing."

"Like?" Ron asked. He had never liked Professor Smith.

"Erm maybe she had a meeting?" Hermione suggested.

"With Voldemort?" I chipped in.

Ron and Hermione turned around shocked.

"Why did you say that Alice! You always think the worst of people! Oh Alice!" Hermione huffed.

"She'd up to something I know it!"

"No she isn't!"

"IS"

"NOT"

"IS"

"NOT"

"All right! Split it up!" I took my eyes of the white snow. Ron had came between us.

"Ron what do you think she was doing?" I asked him.

Ron shrugged, "I dunno but it must have been more important than teaching us."

Hermione and I nodded in agreement.

"Sorry Hermione," I murmured.

"Same Alice. We shouldn't argue like that," Hermione answered.

We headed back up to the common room.

Defence against the dark arts had been our last class of the day.

We were free to do whatever we liked now.

It was getting dark.

The dark nights set in quickly now.

The darkness was like a blanket on top of the snow.

We entered the common room.

If you looked out the common room window you could just see the little lights of Hogsmead in the distance.

The dark made everything look cosy.

The fire was flickering in the common room setting off a soft glow.

I grabbed my invisibility cloak and headed back out the portrait door.

I headed past the D.A.D.A Classroom. The door was still closed.

Why was the Professor missing!

Whatever Hermione said. It was suspicious.

Teachers just didn't miss a lesson unless they were really ill.

It was just weird.

I want to know why she was missing. Was she meeting some one?

Did she have to cover for a more important class?

Did she have to visit some one?

Something wasn't right. Draco and Sarah were off today too.

Both of them.

Why were they missing classes!

I turned by the hospital wind. I froze.

Professor Smith was heading out of it.

I snuck by not breathing. She couldn't hear me.

I continued walking. It was safe. I breathed out.

Lovely fresh air filled my lungs.

Why was Professor Smith in the hospital wing!

Was she cursing someone?

Was she helping someone?

Did she know someone in there?

The possibilities were endless.
