Fred, George, Lee, and I pulled four sleeping bags to a corner of the Great Hall so that we could discuss in private.
"Do you think he's still in the castle?" Lee asked.
"I don't even want to think about that." I said, rolling over in my sleeping bag and closing my eyes.

At some point in the night some voices woke me up.
"Any sign of him, Professor?" I heard Percy ask.
"No. All well here?" Dumbledore asked.

"What about the Astronomy tower? Professor Trelawney's room? The Owlery?" Dumbledore asked.
