Never Let Go Of The Light

Where Did He Go?

The school was in an uproar. Professor Snape hadn't returned since he had Apparated away, a week and a half ago. His wand had been found by Minerva near the entrance to the Slytherin common room.

Dumbledore was very worried. Severus had never once gone to Vdemort without permission since he had became a spy. He worried that Snape had been caught. 

Minerva burst in without knocking. 

"We think we found them," she said quietly. "At Lucius Malfoy's manor."

Dumbledore was in shock. "How is he?"

Minerva shook her head. "We can't tell if he's okay or not, we just have to believe that he is. That's what you always told your students."

Dumbledore smiled faintly. "Do we have a plan?"

"Sirius Black wants to storm the house, Remus Lupin thinks we should Apparate in and out, and Tonks says she doesn't care," Minerva said,

"And what do you think, Minerva?" Albus said kindly.

"I think we should do both. Get everyone who can Apparate and then have most storm the building and two go find Severus," Minerva suggested.

"Excellent plan, my dear," Albus smiled. "Go and inform the others."

"What about Harry, Ron and Hermione?" Minerva asked.

"If they can Apparate they can come," Albus decided.

Minerva nodded and went to tell Remus, Sirius, Tonks and the Golden Trio. Naturally, Ron couldn't quite Apparate without Splinching so he was to wait with Dumbledore at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
