While the Wizarding World is still shocked by the sudden death of well known Businessman, Arathorn Wentworth, another startling discovery has been made. The only son of the late owner of
Wentworth Menageries, is still alive!
In late May 2000, Henry Wentworth disappeared without a trace from the menagerie in Diagon Alley. The shop had been purchased by the Wentworth family after the second war and is popular with many families of Hogwarts students who purchased their first companion for school. Although it was investigated, there was no sign of a struggle and no witnesses. The shop itself had simply been left abandoned. The search for the Gallionaire's son lasted through most of the summer that year until the Department of Magical Law Enforcement declared him 'presumed dead' and closed the case.
