"And where have you all been?" Demanded McGonagall as the Gryffindors from the party. "None of you have been seen all day."

As with previous occasions, other students in the Common Room turned to see a vast entourage return to their House's tower.

"Good Evening to you to Professor." Piped up Geoffrey, causing a few giggles from Gryffindors within earshot.

"Don't be cheeky with me Mr Hooper." Snapped the Transfiguration Professor. "Mr Weasley?" she looked directly at Percy.

"Oh we've had an absolute splendid day." Said Percy.

"I'm sorry?" said McGonagall.

"My youngest Brother and Sister's friends threw the most exciting party for his birthday and the birthdays of two girls in their circle of friends I must say I had a wonderful time." Said Percy enthusiastically.

McGonagall looked shocked. If there was one thing she never expected Percy to volunteer such enthusiasm about it was a party.

"Well it's been a long day and I have the before Breakfast patrol tomorrow, so if you don't mind Professor I'll say goodnight."

McGonagall nodded simply, and Percy was up the stairs to the Boys Dormitory before she realised she hadn't receive an answer to her question. But the rest of the entourage scattered around the Common Room to play games or else go up to their Dormitories. They were all safe, fine and happy. There was no point in bothering them over what was an irrelevant detail.

"Hey guys guess what?" Said Ron, as he Hermione, Harry and Neville joined Seamus and Dean and some more of their roommates. "Neville and Luna kissed."

Ok probably irrelevant.

It was a few days later, the final anomaly in the Sirius Black case begun to really unfurl for Harry.

It started when Fred and George came to give the latest update on their search of the Marauder's Map.

"Nothing new." Said George.

"Can you keep looking?" asked Harry.

"Sure." Said Fred. "By the way, where is your Dorm mate going at night?"

"I'm sorry?" said Harry.

"Well ever since you gave us the map back, your room seems to be missing a person." Said George.

"Who?" asked Harry.

"Sorry, we didn't learn his name." said Fred. "Doubt we've ever exchanged any words with the guy. All we know is we can only find up to five people in your Dorm at the moment. Where has the sixth guy gone?"

"Sixth guy?" said Harry in disbelief. "There has only ever been the five of us."

"Are you sure about that?" said Fred. "I'm pretty sure when Ronnie first came to Hogwarts and we checked your Dorm we found six people."

"Six?" said Harry.

"Yeah, I remember thinking it was odd because most Dorms never exceed five people." Said Fred.
