Great Hall

The next day all the students were still slightly jumpy after the last nights events, so the great hall was less noisy.

Harry Hermione and Draco were silently eating breakfast, when Hermione noticed that professor Lupin was looking strangely at Harry

"Harry," she called softly

"Hmm," Harry looked up at her from his thoughts

And Hermione was about to say something when Seamus Finnigan had yelled "HE'S BEEN SIGHTED! HE'S BEEN SIGHTED!"

"Who?" asked Hermione

"Bruce Wayne!" He replied as he slammed the news paper on the table

Everyone turned into the direction of the Griffindor table, Hermione sat closer to the rest as she read the content of the article "Creaktown!?"(A/N I know there wasn't such town in the WWU)
exclaimed Hermione horrified"It's not so far away from us!"

"What if he comes to Hogwarts, just like Sirius Balck?!" asked another student not even trying to hide his horror

Staff Table
Clark was shocked beyond words everyone at the table was- though for different reasons as him. Creaktown...the name gave him the same feeling as when had first seen the photo of the Potters...
'Wait, if he is there then perhaps-' Clark thought and looked at Diana and Zatanna who upon following his chain of thoughts nodded at him as if signalizing him to go

He nodded back and soon the three of them left the Great Hall.

"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" asked Zatanna

"Well if exclude the dozens of hexes that the first years sent to me this morning-then yes" answered Diana

"We need to find him!" exclaimed Clark

"But we can't all leave the school, or else somebody will suspect something" reminded Zatanna

Diana nodded "Yes and we still don't know what the headmaster is planning, we didn't have time to see his office throughly the last time we were there and think I've seen something interesting on that table of his...."

"Are you sure?" asked Clark

Diana nodded "Yes, I'm not sure if I am right or not but think I saw some documents with the Gringotts crest on them, perhaps they will tell us something "

"We could lure him out of the office once more, but I don't think that our last attempt would wrk for the second time" Zatanna suggested

"And what if we ask Dick to do that?" suggested Diana

"I don't think he will agree" said Clark "he had not talked to me since that day, and I think that now he is trying to figure all the things out on his own"

Diana and Zatanna looked at each other , realizing all the hopelessness of their situation
"So, what do we do?" asked Diana thoughtfully

"You two- nothing. I- will go to Creaktown and see if it's somehow related to me and my memories" Clark said while he ran down the hall, then called over his shoulder "invent an excuse for me!"

The two women escorted the man with their gazes

"We are not going to do what he said, right?" asked Zatanna
