Prefects,

A student that was said to have been dropped off at King's Cross did not arrive in Hogsmeade with the Hogwarts Express. Iris Conway, a 6th year Gryffindor. If you have seen her, please escort her to Professor Dumbledore's office. Gryffindor prefects, you are to subtly check the dormitory (boys and girls) and ask students if they have seen Miss. Conway.

You all are to report to the Great Hall at 10 o'clock this evening with reports. We will contact you if she is found before then.

"As you may have heard, because some of the ghosts floating the halls do not seem able to keep their mouths shut," Professor McGonagall's eyes shot toward Nearly-Headless Nick, who slid down through the mashed potatoes and into the ground, "Hogsmeade weekends have been reinstated."

There was the expected cheer, and Albus chuckled quietly, knowing Minerva was silently cursing him for asking her to make the announcement.

"The first weekend will be that of February 16th--"

"For Valentine's!"

"Yes, but there are---"

The chatter of the Great Hall was far too loud and boisterous, and as Minerva was about to place sonorus on her throat, but Albus touched her hand.

"They'll read the restrictions in the common room."
