Vincent Corrigan,Angelique St. Clare,Felicia Campbell,Kate Donaghy,Dorian Humbert,Benjamin Burke,Emma Burke, Jadon Burke,Ophelia Burke, Allaire Burke, Collin Borgin, Cillian Borgin, Ricki Crawford, Malakai Nivens, Darryl Nivens, Rosalind Nivens, Malcolm Nivens, Nailah Nivens, Baakir Nivens (and anyone else who feels like they should be here)
The reports seemed to come all at once. Students who didn't show up for class, with roommates and friends who couldn't find them. The school counselor was absent from her scheduled appointments. There were 8 students in all, plus the counselor, and even one former student who was supposed to visit a friend on campus but never showed. All of them females, and all of them good, responsible types who wouldn't miss their scheduled appointments or classes. And among them were members of some very prominent families.
Christine Montgomery had been the first to vanish, and her circumstances were a little different. She had not vanished from the school, but had been a witness in the death of Penny Young, the latest victim of the killer now known as M. She had been in protective custody, but was taken anyway, and was now presumed dead--although no one wanted to say the words as yet. The other girls vanished more gradually, in a less dramatic fashion, but by no means less obviously. Girls li@angeliqueke Kassia Burke and Colette Borgin simply didn't just wander off. Yet more and more girls seemed to vanish, until it seemed a regular epidemic. After dispatching the castle ghosts to search every nook and cranny of the school still turned up no traces of the girls, Albus Dumbledore had no choice but to call a meeting. He called in several members of the Ministry of Magic, including the Minister himself, the head Auror and head of Magical Law Enforcement, and the Aurors in charge of the M case. He also called in the family members of as many of the girls as he could, so he could inform them of the situation.
These were the kinds of situations that Albus dreaded and feared, especially as his former student Tom Riddle--who now went by the name of Lord Voldemort--was increasing his activities against the muggleborns in the magical world. And yet part of him hoped that these disappearances were related to the Death Eaters and not to this person they called M. He'd already lost a student to this monster, poor Sophia. He didn't want to lose any more.
