Headmistress Kati Goodridge was not having a good morning. One of her professors and one of the Slytherin students had dissapeared-both of them with ties to the Death Eaters. Normally, she wasn't too worried, but having not seen Professors Snape and Lestrange, she had no idea if either of missing people had gone to the remaining Death Eaters.

Bellatrix walked in, exhausted. Stupid missions. Why'd the dark Lord feel that she alone could handle so much? Faithful as she may be, she was only one person. "Oh... hello Kati." She could tell by te look on her face that something was wrong. "Off to a bad start, are we? Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't been aorund. I had - other matters to deal with." She didn't want to mention that it had to do with the death eaters. After all, she'd tried so hard to convince the world she wasn't.

Headmistress Kati Goodridge.

Kati looked up. "Morning Professor Lestrange. Have you seen either Genefer Malfoy or Ginny Malfoy? They seem to have gone missing." Knowing Lestrange's history, Kati hoped that Lestrange saw either of them at a meeting.

"Oh yes... I've seen her around, but she's a bit, shall we say - tied up, at the moment." Bella tried to sound innocent, but she meant it literally. Ginny was being held captive not to far from Hogwarts, waiting for a trial. "Why? Did you need her?"

"No reason, except that some of the professors have noticed her missing." Kati, frowing, asked, "Is Genefer with her? I've not seen her and I'm giving her charms classes free periods for the day, until I can get a sub."
