The Aurors were called for while the students and staff remained under the watchful eye of the castle security. Unfortunately, they had just as much luck as the Unspeakables did in their search for Adalricus Dumbledore. No matter what they tried, even with the castle’s help in searching the wards; the teen was nowhere to be found. On two separate instances, a portrait reported who they believed was Adalricus but it turned out to be nothing more than a shadow or another student who had the same build.
