Severus had spent several weeks digging through the Room of Requirement whenever he could. The problem was that he couldn't always make it appear for him. It could tell when he didn't really have the time to search through it. And even the Room couldn't magically conjure exactly what he needed, especially since he didn't know precisely what he was looking for. Clues, hints... They were somewhere in the room, if he only knew where to find it.
He should focus on the founders, he supposed. Voldemort hardly would have stopped with Slytherin, even if he couldn't get ahold of Gryffindor's artifact. What might Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff have left behind?
He only had so much time for books and he was beginning to get frustrated. He needed an expert, but anyone he might ask would want to know why he was taking this interest. Even if they didn't ask, they'd remember, and that could very well be dangerous. No one was suspicious of him now (or at least not any more suspicious than Death Eaters always were towards one another) but that could very well change. It had taken him a while to hit on the answer: the ghosts. They were a unique resource: they rarely spoke to visitors, and they could even be choosy about Hogwarts staff, especially the new ones. Severus had been there for years, though.
The Baron was the place to start. Severus was a former Slytherin and Head of House, in addition to being Headmaster; he had a better chance of getting the Baron to talk than most people. He'd also been there for a long time; surely he'd have some clues for him, even if it was just where to look for information.
Now he just had to find him.
