Professor McGonagall, of course, couldn't find Annie. After all, knowing that she wouldn't have to attend her last class that afternoon, Annie wasn't anywhere near Hogwarts Castle. She was in the Forbidden Forest beside the school.
So there was no way Professor McGonagall could find her!
As for how Annie knew she wouldn't have to attend her last class, well, that was a matter of perspective.
Anyway, Tibbers, who was following her, definitely knew the reason.

"Hey!"

As she wandered through the forest with her little bear, Annie suddenly remembered a certain Unicorn. She turned around without warning and asked:
"Tibbers, do you think..."
-
(゜-゜)つ
"...I can still find that Unicorn?"
(o▽)o
She seemed to have forgotten what the Unicorn was called... But the name didn't matter. What mattered was that it definitely wouldn't remember her. In this different second-round timeline, it didn't know her.
In a sense, she and the Unicorn were strangers, weren't they?
"..."
Tibbers didn't answer. He followed along behind her, still unconcerned, occasionally shooing away insects and butterflies that got too close. He seemed to be in a bit of a bad mood.
Naturally, he was in a bad mood because the night before, his troublesome little master had refused his request to use the "dog bowl"!
And who could blame him?
He'd finally managed to get on good terms with those female Hogwarts students. This was the season to reap the rewards, but his troublesome little master was busy having fun, without any regard for his feelings. If he were in a good mood, that would be a miracle!
Still, no matter how bad his mood was, he had to follow her. Otherwise, if his troublesome little master got in a bad mood too, he'd have more to worry about
