| | |  The Headmistress' Office
If you've made it past the gargoyle, all that stands between you and the Headmistress is a solid wood door. On the other side of the door is a high ceilinged room with a desk at the far end. The walls are stacked with innumerable portraits, although they all appear to be sleeping deeply or otherwise engaged. The shelves and tables are lined with strange objects, some that seem almost familiar to you, and even a few you are certain are mutated Dark Magic Detectors. A low row of pictures line a bookshelf otherwise filled with various texts, and each features the same blond woman waving happily with some other person. You think you see a stuffed hippogryff and centaur peeking out from between the books.
Behind the desk sits a woman either deep in thought or dozing into sleep. Her honey-colored hair is pulled into a short, elaborate braid down her back, and she is wearing dark blue robes with flowers embroidered along the hems and neckline. Overall, she gives off quite a solemn appearance, until a sound from you catches her attention. When she looks at you, you realize her eyes, while tired, are full of laughter and a smile plays around her lips. "What can I help you with today?"
ooc: Do NOT, under fear of punishment and of me giggling and pointing at you... do NOT post in this thread unless you have the password legitimately. Also... the Gargoyle thread may be used as a sort of waiting area for the Headmistress. | |

Popping back into the office, Algamus gave Professor Raisin and Boil a nod. "Professors, I is be giving all the Professorers their letterses." he beamed, "Algie is good Professor."
Looking over he saw Arygle standing there.
"HEADMISTRESSES!" Algamus called, "I findsies Arygle. Here she is!" he beamed, pointing at the other elf. "Algamus is be good ma'am."

"Days...Argyle has been gone for days...." Argyle doesn't know what's going on. Mistress Rae had just talked to Argyle this morning. "Mistress Rae is mistaken. Mistress Rae talked to Argyle just this morning. Mistress Rae said she was going to spend the day with Sophie and Genevive. Argyle was to go and work in the kitchen until Mistress Rae called Argyle. Argyle fixed the twins their dinner just like Argyle is suppose to." Argyle turns her tennis ball size eyes towards Master Braxton. Master Braxton will know Argyle is telling the truth. | |

Doyle looks between his wife and the house elf, then back again. "Is it possible to confund a house elf or modify its memories?" he asked her, unwilling to believe that the elf could have been involved in anything so sinister as the kidnapping of their children. Doyle turned back to the elf and slipped to the floor so that he was on his knees in front of the elf. He placed his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. "What is the lat thing you remember before you gave the children over?"

Argyle remembers trying to use the floo network to talk to Master Braxton." Argyle goes over to Professor Rae's desk and grabs a gold statue from it. "Bad Argyle, bad Argyle." Argyle beats herself in the head with the statue. "Argyle knows house elves are not suppose to use the wizard's floo network, but Argyle needed to get in touch with Master Braxton. One of the students had managed to penetrate the protective barrier without Argyle removing it. Argyle was afraid the twins would be able to get through it too. Argyle couldn't leave the twins alone. Bad Argyle, bad Argyle.." | |

Doyle gently removed the statue from the house elf's hand. "No, you were perfectly within your rights to use the floo to get in contact with me. Now, which student came through the barrier?" he asked.

Rae rose. "I'm needed downstairs. I'll be back with you in just a moment." She exited the office, leaving Doyle and Argyle to discuss it.

Argyle is grateful Master Braxton took the statue away from her. "Argyle is a bad house elf. Argyle must be punished." Argyle wipes the tears from her eyes and thinks hard. "It was a Slytherin girl. She told Argyle she knew how to counteract the charms on the door, but Argyle knew better. Master Braxton or Mistress Rae were the only ones who could remove the charms. Argyle knew there was something wrong. Argyle worried the twins would get out on their own. Argyle tried to warn Master Braxton, but Argyle failed. Bad Argyle." Argyle drops to the floor and starts banging her head on the stones. | |

Doyle picked up the elf so she couldn't hurt herself. "No, you did everything you were told. Do you remember the name of the student? Or, if you saw the student again, would you recognize him or her?" he asked, wondering if a trip to the Slytherin Common Room might be in order. At the very least, he'd need to contact their head of house.

"Argyle did not ask the student her name. The twins were sleeping, and Argyle did not want the girl to wake them. Argyle thinks Argyle could recognize her. Is it important Argyle remember this student?" | |

"Yes, it could be very important. You should follow me to see Professor Forrester right away," Doyle said and held the door open for the elf.

Argyle bows. Yes, Master Braxton. Argyle follows Master Braxton out of the door. It seem strange for Argyle to be using the door. House elves usually pop in and out of rooms at Hogwarts. | |

~~~ some time later ~~~
Doyle burst into the office via the private entrance which linked their offices with their quarters, hoping to find Cassandra in her office. He held an open letter in his hand which he probably shouldn't have read as it was addressed to his wife and not him but, perhaps it was for the best that he could ease the telling. He sat down in his favorite chair and reviewed the cryptically brief note again.
Rae,
I can't stay at the school with the girls missing. I've gone to rejoin the Aurors to ensure things like this don't happen anymore. I'm going to look for the girls abroad. I think you know who I mean.
Anj
Who did she mean? Abroad? There were signs all over the school. How could she think the girls were abroad? Anjelica Lainey had always seemed a bit mad to him and this letter only proved it. He only wished his wife had the same view. She was going to be devastated.

One of the school's tawny owls swiftly flew up to the window of the Headmistress's office. It noticed the window was open a little bit, just enough for him to fit through. The owl flew into the large room, circled it a few times, then landed on Rae's desk. There was a man present, but the owl didn't give him much thought. He simply shook his leg fiercely, letting the scroll slide off.

Rae entered her office still wiping her eyes. "My love, I've got some news," she sat next to Doyle and put her head on his shoulder. She needed his strength right now.

A Small black owl flew through the window with a letter Quote:
Dear Headmistress,
I got through the barrier and asked Argle if I could help her.After she left I kept checking on the twins everyday but then oneday I checked on them but the barrier broken and twins gone.It looked like they crawled away not like someone stole them.Do not worry I have been looking for them as much as possible.I promise I'll help as much as i can.I know what it is like to lose someone special I won't let it happen to you.
A helping hand,
Dani Lefontz

Doyle wrapped his arms around her after tucking Lainey's note back in his pocket. "What news is that?" he asked, kissing the top of her head and squeezing her.

"They've found signs of the girls all over the school. Whoever has them is still here, and they must be fine." She held up the odds and ends that had been collected.

He nodded. "They're definitely still here, then. Tolkien found a dirty nappy and a couple of cats brought a rattle into my office," Doyle said. "We'll find them." He really didn't want to trouble her with the notes but... "Darling, I have some news as well, though not quite as happy." He pulled the note out of his pocket and handed it to her.

Rae accepted the note and scanned it. "Anj? No... no, it can't be." Her daughters gone, and now her best friend had just left? She slid into the nearest chair, pressing the letter to her chest. "Why would she leave me when I need her so much?"

"I think she's trying to help," Doyle said, surprisingly coming to Lainey's defense. "Who does she mean, Cassandra?"

"Voldemortist," Rae whispered. "She's always had some odd connection with him, and now she's gone looking. But the girls are here! I have to send an owl." She stood suddenly and headed to her desk to write a quick note to Lainey. She grabbed a scroll of parchment and froze at the words on it. "Merlin... Doyle!" Kill?

He rushed over to her, his face flooded with concern at her tone. He read the note over her shoulder and gripped her arms tightly. "We need to respond. Arrange a meeting. Do not give an answer. As much as I hate to do it, we cannot endanger all of the children for two," he said, closing his eyes and resting his head against hers.

"Where should we meet? What do I say?" She stroked his arm, scared out of her mind. "I don't want him here. But... this is my turf. And he's already here." She nodded. "The Great Hall."

"Yes, we can gather the staff and perhaps the prefects," Doyle agreed. "Perhaps we should alert the Ministry, as well?" He hated to bring them in but, he could swallow his pride if it meant the safe return of his darling girls he missed so much and that justice be done to their kidnapper.

"Whatever you think," she nodded, writing out a few lines on the parchment and attaching it to her waiting owl.
Big Man -
I am willing to negotiate. Meet me in the Great Hall, and please bring them with you.
