"That's right.. and despite our efforts. We've unfortunately haven't found a trace of either Hippogriff nor Scott.." Not even a feather or lock of the Groundskeeper hair. The amount of scratches his suit endured from branches served as some evidence that he had tried. "After searching in the direction of the cries, they turned up empty." It was even more serious than ever.
