Dumbledore was quiet for a several minutes. When he spoke, his words were gentle, sensing Severus' anguish. "However, Sage became distant with, as far as I could tell, the entire Wizarding world about a year before her disappearance. Her, and her friend Elizabeth Gray. I do not know why, but I sense it had something to do with fear of something unknown. What few letters I received from her were brief and clear-cut. I heard not a word from or about Gray." He paused as Madam Pomfrey came hurrying out of the room.
"I don't know where you found the child Dumbledore but I have rarely seen one so thin and frail. I have done all I can for her tonight. Tomorrow at first light I will set about cleaning her up if she allows," Pomfrey explained in a rush. Dumbledore nodded and thanked her. She hurried back to the room, and Dumbledore looked back at Snape.
"Severus, I don't know why Sage disappeared, and I don't know why she sent you that letter. But judging on what I see before me, I do believe Ellie is Sage's daughter. They even share a birthmark."
