Since Fifth Year

Whomping Willow 2

THUD!
The distant sound of a loud thud, then the sound of loud boom and crackling was hear all throughout the campus. Everyone ran to the windows (the one's who could see). All there was, was a massive fire and the absence of that ancient tree. The tree that protected the Marauders, the tree that the Golden Trio got sucked into, the tree that protected the school. It was gone, destroyed in an instant, but there was a dark gloom over the ashes of the ancient tree. The mark of Voldemort. A skull with a snake wrapped around it.
"All students and staff to the Great Hall! All students and staff to the Great Hall!" Said McGonagal on the loud speaker. Everyone ran and got on their robes (not the school ones). Everyone was talking amongst themselves in fear and confusion of what had just happened. "SILENCE!" McGonagal said as thunderstruck, "We must all remain as we would normally. The Ministry will deal with this. We will find out what happened!" A student from Gryffindor got up and asked, "Why did they attack the tree? It's just a tree." Hagrid didn't like that remark. He got up and said, "Oi! That ain't just a tree. It was a Whomping Willow. It protected a lonely werewolf and 'is friends. It was where 3 of the original Marauders 'er found. It protected you lot and you go and 'ave the nerve to disrespect it!" Everyone whispered amongst each other. The Griffindor who made the remark blushed in embarrassment. McGonagal asked, "Professor Longbottom, will you be able to grow another one?" "Yes ma'am. I can do it tomorrow morning." Neville said. Scorpius and other kids of aurors and former death eaters were quite scared of what had just occurred. "What do you think they'll do?" Scorpius asked Albus. "I don't know. Dad is definitely going to get mad though." Said Albus.
Meanwhile in the homes of every former death eater and Harry there were burning sensations. "Ahh!" Harry placed his hand on his scar. "Harry! What's wrong?! Harry! Harry!" Ginny yelled. All the death eaters grabbed their wrists in pain. Harry panted heavily and managed to get out, "Get...Hermione...now." Ginny got the phone and called the Granger-Weasley household.
RING!
RING!
RING!
"Hello?" Said a sleepy Hermione. "Hermione...he's back..." "What do you mean he's back? That's not possible." "My scar just burned Hermione." "Oh my god. Ron! Ron wake up!" "What?"[said Ron distantly in the background.] "Get McGonagal now." The distant sound of footsteps echoed in the background. "Sorry Harry, I've got to go." Hermione hang up and went to the fire place. "Ministress, what-" "What happened there. I know something happened so don't go lying." "The Whomping Willow is no more but a dark mark looms over it." "Merlin's beard. No one must know of this." "Yes ministress." And just like that the connection broke.
Back at the school, "If anyone of you speak of this outside school, to the press, to a muggle parent or parents or guardian, or to a non-governmental wizard or witch 50 points from your house per student per person you tell." "What that's not fair. " a girl screamed. "Then you must not tell. No one is to panic or fear unless under certain peril. Now go back to your houses. Quickly now." And like that everyone left.
Back in the Scorpius and Albus's room....
Scorpius was in Albus' arms, "What do you think they'll do? Our parents." "They're probably already doing something." "You're probably right Al." "Hey aren't you supposed to be the smart one?" "Don't insult yourself." Scorpius kissed Albus and that peck turned into a hot make out session. "Goodnight Scorpius." Albus said. "Night Albus." They drifted to sleep again, knowing the fate tomorrow would bring.
