Re: Charity Burbage Rebekah Send a noteboard - 27/11/2010 11:35:48 AM
I had always just assumed that she was abducted by Death Eaters / Voldemort and that the story of her resigning and departing Hogwarts was spread to try and explain away her disappearance, but I don't believe we ever get any more information to clarify it.

That sounds plausible.


Mrs Weasly says she doesn't believe that Burbage resigned and that was just a cover story from the Ministry.

(That might have been Mr Weasly, perhaps.)
