"The Strange Disappearance of SallyAnne Perks" by Paimpoint

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6243892

I love when stories uses flaws in Jo's writing to create a whole story arc. The only complaint I have about this story is that the author TOLD us the timeline in author's notes instead of leaving it up to the reader with clues in the texts, but really, this is something y'all should check out.

Do you know what happened to Sally-Anne Perks? To quote:

There weren't many people left now. "Moon" "Nott" "Parkinson" then a pair of twin girls, "Patil" and "Patil" then "Perks, Sally-Anne" and then, at last - "Potter, Harry!" (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Chapter 7)

Ten minutes later, Professor Flitwick called, "Parkinson, Pansy - Patil, Padma - Patil, Parvati - Potter, Harry." (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 31)

~At some point between September 1991 and the spring of 1996, Sally-Anne Perks left Hogwarts. Perhaps she dropped out of school. Perhaps she fell ill. Perhaps she died. Or maybe she just vanished...
