Wesley sighed. "It's got to end," he said. "Craven is just too powerful. How he ever was chosen as Minister of Magic is beyond my comprehension. Well, if V is right, Alastor, you're going to have to be very, very careful."

"I've tried to be ever since I heard Olivia was dead." Alastor replied. "But I see I'll have to be even more cautious."

Wesley nodded. "Meanwhile, we need to work on finding proof that Craven killed Olivia. The biggest problem I have is figuring out why he would have done it. I believe that Olivia learned something about Craven--and not just the fact that he was a Death Eater--but I don't know what it is. The only mention of it in the paperwork that was in the safety deposit box is a page that mentions another hiding place where she said she hid the information. But I went there and found nothing. It was supposed to be in a cave in the Forbidden Forest."

"That's not very surprising. I know students go into the forbidden forest all the time, and many of them would probably steal something that they thought would have a lot of value. We could check with Dumbledore for this too." Alastor explained.

"We should definitely talk to Dumbledore. He might even be able to help us talk to the centaurs, who might know something," V said.

"The only thing centaurs know is whinning." Alastor said. He had no belief in what centaurs did. "Besides, horoscopes are just false predictions, like the things centaurs do."

"Right, but they do know who comes and goes in the forest," V said. "At least they may be able to tell us who could have taken it. And maybe... maybe they have seen my brother. He's... he's a werewolf." She knew that the time was not right to look for him, but she couldn't stop wondering what had become of him.

He knew what she said was true, but the centaurs did not mind other peoples business that much, so they would more than likely not help.
"What's your brother's name?" He asked curiously.

"His name is Zander," V replied. "Do you know him? I've been wanting to search for him since our little brother, Ian, was killed, but I can't risk anyone finding out who I am. Please don't say anything."

"I was at the spot after your brother was killed, I think I've seen Zander around but I may have been mistaken. I can help you find your brother." Alastor said.

"Really? You can?" V said hopefully. "We have to do it carefully, so no one knows it's me. It's too dangerous. I don't want Craven's people to find out I've made contact with him. Right now, he's safe, because they think he's just a werewolf and not worth bothering with. But if they find out I've contacted him.... they could go after him to draw me out." She sighed and ran a hand through her red curls. "My brother, Ian... do you know if he suffered? Or was it instant?"

"I don't know." Alastor said. "Your secret is safe with me, don't worry. No one is going to find out."

V hugged him. "Thank you, Alastor," she said happily. Glancing at Wesley, she abruptly pulled away and smiled awkwardly. "Um, so, OK. What are we going to do? Should be go talk to Dumbledore? Where should Wesley go? I'm not entirely sure it's safe for him to stay here alone."

"You're welcome." He said hugging her back. Alastor was really getting to know V. He even started to have feelings for her that were more than friends.
"I think the three of us should pay Dumbledore a visit." ALastor said in reply to her question.

V nodded and looked away so no one could see that she was blushing. "OK, good idea. Wesley, I guess you'd better make yourself invisible again. We can Apparate to Hogsmeade and walk from there."

"You two go ahead, I'm going to make sure no one follows us." Alastor said. "I'll only be five minutes."

"OK," V said. "Be careful, Alastor." She looked at Wesley and waited for him to make himself invisible.

"Don't worry." Alastor said. He was going to wait for Wesley to go invisible before opening the door to make sure everything was okay.

"OK," Wesley said. He was a bit uneasy about going to the school, knowing that the girls would be so close, and yet he wouldn't be able to see them. He wondered if Natalie, with her strange powers, would be able to sense his presence. He forced these thoughts from his mind and back to the situation at hand. They needed Dumbledore's help, there was no way around it. "We'll see you there, Alastor," he said. He performed the spell, making himself invisible. Then he took V's hand and they apparated together.
