Professor Dumbledore left on an expedition to Romania roughly a week and a half ago and has yet to either return or contact me. I have sent Rubeus Hagrid to find him though as of his last contact, he has had no luck. I have not wanted to alarm anyone in this respect and as I'm sure you can understand, I have been attempting to keep this away from the board, who will likely try to appoint someone of the Ministry's choosing as Headmaster or Headmistress ahead of myself.
As I receive more information on the Headmaster's whereabouts, I will forward it to you and the rest of the Order.
