The Missing Student<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a warm spring day when Ms. Tillett was in her classroom taking attendance. \u00a8Will Anderson\u00a8,” said Ms. Tillett in a dull voice. \u00a8Here,\u00a8 responded the student. \u00a8Annika Winterbottom.\u00a8 Here,\u00a8 said Annika. \u00a8Anjali Rao,\u00a8 asked Ms. Tillett. No one answered. The room suddenly got kind of silent. \u00a8Anjali Rao?\u00a8 she said again. \u00a8Has anyone seen Anjali?\u00a8 Nope, they all said carelessly. \u00a8She was supposed to meet me after school yesterday at my house,” said Annika. Ms. Tillet emailed Anjali\u00b4s parents. She emailed them asking if she was okay and why she wasn’t in school today. Her parents emailed her back saying they don’t know why. Anjali\u00b4s dad also remembered dropping her off at school. He said she seemed a little tired. Her parents were also expecting her for dinner but she never showed up. <\/span><\/p>\n

Anjali\u015b parents called Anjali\u00b4s tutor, Oliver, to see if he had seen her. Oliver didn’t really care because he was too attached to his cell phone. He just said that she never showed up for her tutoring session. The parents then called Anjali\u00b4s teacher, Ms. Tillet. She said that she wasn’t in any of her classes and she had her head on her desk. She never really does that. She is always up and ready to start class. Anjali\u00b4s parents started to get a little worried, especially her mom. They then called Anjali\u00b4s best friend Annika Winterbottom who probably saw her because they are ALWAYS together. \u00a8Sorry, I haven’t seen her but she was supposed to meet me after school at my house,\u00a8 said Annika. Now her mother was really scared. \u00a8I\u00b4m so scared, where is Anjali?!\u00a8 cried her mom. \u00a8Relax, you are too overprotective,\u00a8 said her father in a calm voice. \u00a8Should we call the police or someone else?\u00a8 Yeah, let’s call a detective,\u00a8 said her mother still sounding kind of worried. <\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday, the doorbell rang. Mr. Rao opened the door for their guest. \u00a8Hello, my name is Gilderoy Lockhart,\u00a8 the guest said in a low pitched voice. \u00a8I just got a call from you saying that your daughter is missing.\u00a8 Is everything okay?\u00a8 Are you sure you’ve checked everywhere?\u00a8 \u00a8Well…we checked in with Anjali\u00b4s teacher, her tutor and her best friend,\u00a8 responded Mrs. Rao. \u00a8They all said they haven’t seen her and her teacher was a little concerned too.\u00a8 Okay, well I am going to ask them a few questions,\u00a8 Lockhart said in a serious voice. \u00a8But before that, I would like to introduce my friend Parker Brown.\u00a8 He will be around while I am helping you find your daughter.\u00a8 Hello, it\u00b4s nice to meet you,\u00a8 Parker said in a friendly voice. \u00a8Well, we better get going,\u00a8 said Lockhart. Lockhart and Parker left the house and rushed off to Anjali\u00b4s school.<\/span><\/p>\n

When they arrived at Anjali\u00b4s school, they first asked the front desk to page Anjali just to make sure she wasn\u00b4t actually missing. They waited for about 1 minute but she didn\u00b4t show up. Then, they went to Ms. Tillet\u00b4s classroom. Parker knocked on her door. \u00a8Come in,\u00a8 she said politely. \u00a8Good Morning Ms. Tillet,\u00a8 said Lockhart. \u00a8Hello, how may I help you?\u00a8 Ms. Tillet said sounding a little curious. \u00a8My name is Gilderoy Lockhart and he is Parker Brown,\u00a8 responded Lockhart. \u00a8We are here to ask you a few questions. Anjali Rao is one of your students, am I correct?\u00a8 \u00a8Yes,\u00a8 Ms. Tillet said confused. \u00a8Do you know where she went after school?\u00a8 started Lockhart. \u00a8Was she in your class yesterday?\u00a8 Was she in any of her classes? Do you—\u00a8Excuse me,\u00a8 Ms. Tillet interrupted. \u00a8I was also wondering where Anjali was yesterday but I thought she would’ve been home by now.\u00a8 I\u00b4m not the one to ask.\u00a8 Sorry.\u00a8 Okay, well thank you for your time Ms. Tillet,\u00a8 Lockhart said. \u00a8Sure,\u00a8 Ms. Tillet said, sounding a little annoyed. <\/span><\/p>\n

They then went to Anjali\u00b4s tutor\u00b4s house. Parker knocked on Oliver\u00b4s door. \u00a8Hello, can I help you?\u00a8 said Oliver. \u00a8Hi, I\u00b4m Gilderoy Lockhart and this is—yeah, I\u00b4m a little busy right now, maybe another time,\u00a8 Oliver said in a rushed voice. \u00a8On your cell phone I\u00b4m guessing,\u00a8 Lockhart said. \u00a8We know all about you Oliver.\u00a8 The Rao\u00b4s told us.\u00a8 Wait a minute, who are you?\u00a8 Oliver asked. \u00a8We were trying to introduce ourselves but you interrupted us,\u00a8 Parker said annoyed. \u00a8Anyways, I\u00b4m detective Lockhart and this is my pal Parker,\u00a8 Lockhart started again. \u00a8We are both detectives from the other side of town.\u00a8 We wanted to ask you about Anjali Rao.\u00a8 OK, what about her?\u00a8 replied Oliver. \u00a8She has been missing for a little while now and we were all wondering if you knew where she might’ve gone,\u00a8 Lockhart said. \u00a8Sorry but I really have not seen her anywhere,\u00a8 Oliver said carelessly. \u00a8If I were you, I would go ask some of her friends.\u00a8 Yes, we are going to Annika Winterbottom\u00b4s house now,\u00a8 responded Lockhart. \u00a8Thanks,\u00a8 Parker said to Oliver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their next stop was at 24 Old Tavern Road. This is Annika\u00b4s house. This time Lockhart rang the doorbell. The door opened slowly with no creaks. \u00a8Hello,\u00a8 Annika\u00b4s father said in a happy voice. \u00a8Hello, I\u00b4m Gilderoy Lockhart and this is–Parker!! Mr. Winterbottom said in a happy and excited voice. \u00a8Hey Mr. Winterbottom, it\u00b4s so nice to see you!\u00a8 Parker also sounded excited. \u00a8How do you two know each other?\u00a8 questioned Lockhart. \u00a8I used to babysit Annika when she was younger,\u00a8 answered Parker. \u00a8How have you been?\u00a8 I\u00b4m doing fine, how about you?\u00a8 responded Mr. W. \u00a8I\u00b4m doing fine, thank you,\u00a8 said Parker. \u00a8So is Annika home?\u00a8 asked Lockhart. \u00a8Yes she is upstairs, would you like me to call her down?\u00a8 said Mr. W. \u00a8Oh, that would great, thanks,\u00a8 Lockhart said. A few seconds later Annika came downstairs. \u00a8Hello,\u00a8 said Annika. \u00a8Hi Annika!\u00a8 Said Parker. \u00a8Uhh hello\u2026,\u00a8 Annika said confused. \u00a8Don\u00b4t you remember me?\u00a8 asked Parker. \u00a8Umm no sorry, do I know you?\u00a8 she was really really confused. \u00a8I used to take care of you about six years ago,\u00a8 said Parker trying to remind Annika. \u00a8Oh, okay…\u00a8 she said. \u00a8Anyways Annika, we would like to ask you something,\u00a8 said Lockhart. \u00a8You are friends with Anjali right?\u00a8 Yes, she is my best friend,” said Annika. \u00a8Okay, we just wanted to know if you have seen her around,\u00a8 Lockhart said. \u00a8That\u00b4s what I was wondering too,\u00a8 said Annika. \u00a8We were going to spend some time at her house this weekend and yesterday she was supposed to come to my house after school.\u00a8 I hope she\u00b4s okay.\u00a8 So, you haven\u00b4t seen her?\u00a8 asked Parker. \u00a8No,\u00a8 Annika responded. \u00a8Okay, thanks anyway,\u00a8 said Lockhart. \u00a8Wait!\u00a8 shouted Annika. \u00a8I know she loves to read.\u00a8 You should go check in the school library.\u00a8 Okay, thank you!\u00a8 Lockhart shouted back. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lockhart and Parker quickly walked over to the school library.<\/span><\/p>\n

When they arrived, Lockhart saw part of a backpack near the mystery section of the library and was curious \u00a0to know what was there. There in a little corner he found Anjali sound asleep. \u00a8I found Anjali!\u00a8 yelled Lockhart. Anjali woke up when she heard Lockhart yelling. \u00a8AAAHHHH!\u00a8 screamed Anjali. Lockhart was standing right in front of her when she woke up. \u00a8Who are you?\u00a8 she questioned. \u00a8Hello Anjali, I am Detective Lockhart,\u00a8 he said in a friendly voice. \u00a8Everyone noticed you were gone and were worried about you.\u00a8 Especially your parents.\u00a8 Okay\u2026.? Anjali responded in a confused voice. \u00a8Wait a minute, let me call your parents and to let them know that I found you,\u00a8 said Lockhart. <\/span><\/p>\n

A few minutes later, Lockhart took Anjali to her house. When they arrived, Anjali\u00b4s parents were so happy to see her. \u00a8ANJALI RAO!!\u00a8 screamed her mother. WHERE WERE YOU!!!\u00a8 YOU HAD ME SO WORRIED!\u00a8 Lockhart told me that I slept in the library for a really long time but I don\u00b4t really know how I got there,\u00a8 Anjali said back. \u00a8Okay we are just glad that you are back,\u00a8 said her father. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
