"Where do you think we should start?"
Right, first they should solve the video camera problem. He didn't really want to steal something from a professor, mostly just because he wasn't sure if they would get away with it and didn't necessarily want detention. But if that was their only option then he would do it. Noelle's idea sounded better though. "You're right. If we're just taking the duplicate it wouldn't technically be stealing. It's for a good cause."
Noelle was scaring him a bit. Of course he was worried about missing people and the possibility that others might go missing. It occurred to him that Noelle might be especially wary of the reaction because of her own experience being taken. They didn't know exactly what would happen to the missing students on the other side of the portal. Olly wrapped his person in a hug.
"It's okay. We'll find them." Maybe not them since they were just two fifth years. But the professors were certainly worried about them too. Somebody would have to save them eventually, right?
"
Maybe where I saw Carlton taken? At the pathways?" She had been a little shaken when she had seen him taken, so she hadn't observed the area too well. "
We could start there." And work their way up.
Noelle could do a duplication spell. It was a little tricky , especially with muggle equipment but if she set her mind to it, she was sure she could do it. "
Okay. So maybe the duplication spell on the video tape then?" She asked him. They needed to start.
Next thing she knew, Olly was hugging her. She hadn't realized she needed the hug until his arms went around her. She instantly hugged him tightly back. The thoughts she'd been trying to push down coming back up. She had known how it felt to be taken and thought you were going to die. She didn't want that to happen to anyone. "
I thought someone was going to save me. But the days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months." And she thought she was going to die. She shook her head. "
We have to find them."
