Major changes and additions because of my great Beta Deb.

Saturday evening, May fourth, after dinner Albus went to his room and took out his map of Hogwarts. He had not seen Tom Riddle Hanley at dinner, but also missing were three of the older prefects. Albus looked on his map for Tom R Hanley, Archana Lucy and Tom Higgy, the seventh year prefects, and Bellatrix Hanley, one of the sixth year prefects. None of them were visible.

Albus found Orion Ollivander, the other sixth year prefect, and asked him, "Do you know where Tom Riddle Hanley, his sister Bellatrix, Archana and Tom are?"

"No," Orion admitted. "If we cannot find them by tomorrow morning we need to tell Professor Ollivander."

The next morning the four students were still missing. Albus went up to Delilah Rosier and asked, "Do you know where the Hanley's, Archana, and Tom are?"

"It is none of your business," Delilah snapped.

Albus found Orion Ollivander, and had Orion ask Delilah, but she snapped at him as well. Albus and Orion asked a number of other students, including Marshall Lestrange, Tomasina Nott, and Caradoc Dearborn, but none of them admitted to anything, and most of them did not realize that the three prefects were missing.

Albus and Orion then found Professor Ollivander and told her about the missing students.

"How are you sure they are missing?" Professor Ollivander inquired.

Albus did not want to broadcast the fact that he had a map of Hogwarts, so he told the professor, "We cannot find them. No one we asked had any idea where they were. I think the headmistress has a way of finding all the students. Ask her, please."

"How do you know they are not in the infirmary?" Professor Ollivander inquired. "How do you know they did not go home for the weekend?"

"We don't know," Albus admitted.

Professor Ollivander dismissed the students.

Monday the five were still missing. Professor Ollivander assembled the Slytherin students and asked, "Do any of you know where Tom and Bellatrix Hanley, Archana Lucy or Tom Higgy are?"

No one would admit to anything.

"Delores Hanley, your older brother and sister are missing. You must know something?" Professor Ollivander charged.

The third year student looked like she was thinking, and then slowly shook her head no.

"Lucius Hanley?" Professor Ollivander snapped.

The second year student fiercely shook his head no.

"If they do not show up by tomorrow morning we are calling in the Aurors," Professor Ollivander stressed, obviously very upset. "If any of you know anything about this, tell a professor."

Tuesday morning Albus looked at his map. The students were still missing. He found Orion as the students were heading to the Great Hall for Breakfast, and said to him, "The four are still missing. We need to say something to Professor McGonagall and the others."

"Come with me, and I will tell them," Orion replied.

Albus and Orion Ollivander approached Professor Olivia Ollivander as breakfast was starting. Orion said, loud enough that all the professors could hear, "Tom Riddle Hanley, his sister Bellatrix, Archana Lucy and Tom Higgy are still missing. They have been missing since Saturday. Somebody needs to do something!"
