The Abercrombies are a quick and clever pair of kids, that much is evident by my brief encounters with the both of them. I don't think it's very necessary to worry about their well-being - wherever they are, I'm assuming they're taking care of themselves, and alive at the very least.
Still, if anyone has any information, I trust that you know to come see any of the Prefects preferably the ones that wouldn't hurt the Abercrombies in return. We're all available whenever you see us in the corridors.
Private to Mel, Celia, Ginny.
So something weird (besides the kids' disappearing) has sort of been happening...

I was digging through my trunk for a certain shirt to wear today, and I came across a book that I read and analyzed for my Muggle Studies OWL last year. I don't remember making any marks in it, which makes it especially strange that the only passage I could find that actually was marked and brought my attention to was the following:
"... in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again."
I think it sums up a lot. I won't pretend to be especially knowledgeable about what is going on outside of these walls at this very moment, or about current politics at all, but I know that I feel this way about our own War. Whichever side comes out victorious though hopefully it's the less murderous side, I think that peace and tranquility will return again though I'm not sure if lightness can come out of a side so innately dark.
Also, speaking of Muggle Studies, is anyone else finding it extremely hard to get into the topics presented this year? Much of it seems very inaccurate wrong one-sided and I usually find it hard to concentrate or provoke deep thinking.
