Owls sent to all Sixth Year Hufflepuffs Saturday afternoon.
Attention! May I have your attention, please?
I know this may be an overreaction, but better to be safe than sorry, and no, Eloise, this is not me being paranoid.
Zacharias Smith was not present at breakfast this morning. Zacharias Smith was not present at lunch. Zacharias Smith cannot be found in the Library, the dorm, the common room, or the Owlery. He isn't in the quidditch pitch, the equipment area, the locker rooms, or the kitchens, as far as I can tell. All the house elves are keeping their own counsel, and I can't find him anywhere. He could have been eaten up by the squid, for all I know.
His bed remains in the same state of Zacharias-ness it always is, so he may have gone sometime last night. Gone - or been taken. What value there is in Smith, I don't especially know, but suffice to say, this are not the times in which a student can merely leave the grounds to take a little walk.
I hope someone can tell me something, or I may have to bring out more determined ways of getting information.
Resolutely pursuing this matter,
Ernest. A. Macmillan.
