A flash forward to the future to see what everyone is thinking about Hermione being gone, as requested by Warriorwitch13.

"Has anyone seen Hermione?" Tonks asked.

"She was rebuilding the Room of Requirement." Minerva answered. "She said it would probably take all day."

"I was just up there, Minerva. She's not there." Tonks frowned.

"Who zaw 'Ermione last?" Fleur demanded.

Minerva quickly cast a locator spell. "She's gone!"

"What do you mean, 'she's gone'!" Nymph exclaimed.

Fleur covered her mouth to hide a sob.

"She not here." Minerva's voice was thick with emotion. "I don't know where she is."

"Professor McGonagall!" Harry burst through the doors of the Great Hall. "I found it! I found Hermione's wand!"

Minerva bowed her head, her whole frame racked with sobs.

"What?" Harry swallowed.

"Hermione's missing." Hooch pursed her lips to keep them from trembling. "And we don't know where she could be."

"Can't you, I don't use a locator spell or something?" Ron asked.

"I already tried that, Mr. Weasley!" Minerva's cat like eyes flashed. "The spell couldn't even tell me if she was alive or dead!"

"You could uze 'er wand." Fleur suggested.

"What?" Minerva turned to face the quarter veela.

Fleur nodded. "'Ermione's wand, 'Arry found it. You could uze it to bring 'er back. It would not matter w'ere 'he waz."

Minerva's face lit up at the prospect of finding her daughter.

"'E spell iz complicated and we would need time to prepare." Fleur explained. "'Owever, it will bring our 'Ermione back, even if 'he iz dead."

"Don't you dare talk like that!" Minerva pointed her wand at the veela. "Hermione is not dead!"

Fleur held her hands up, she didn't want to her the elder witch any more than she already was hurting.
