Harry's POV.

After weeks of fighting, Ron and I are speaking again.

This is especially good seeing as now it's Draco who isn't speaking to me.

I frown at my breakfast.

"Why so glum?" I hear from behind me.

I turn to see...

"Draco?"

"Well of course. Do you need new glasses, Potter?" He smirks.

"I.. thought you.." I can't seem to form a real sentence.

"I need to speak with you, all of you, about something."

I look over to Ron and Hermione and both give me a small nod.

We all follow Draco out of the great hall and into an empty classroom and his stone-faced demeanour quickly slips away. 

"What is it Malfoy?" Ron questions.

"My dark mark.. it.. it's turned black again. And it was burning."

"Burning?" Hermione asks.

"Not like I was being summoned, but like a signal that's he's growing stronger," Draco whispers.

"Bloody hell," Ron mutters.

"Yeah. Bloody hell," Draco repeats.

Arthur Weasley's POV.

I step out into the night to investigate the sounds I heard.

They were not unlike a chorus of screams.

I walk down the road and stop suddenly.

Above the Davies's family burrow.

Bright green shines like emeralds across the night sky, each as small as the head of a pin, together forming a skull, and not just any skull, one with a serpent pouring out of it's gaping mouth like a giant tongue, one that puts fear into the hearts of us all.

As I stand there, shell-shocked, it rises higher into the night sky.
The green contrasts against the cold black like a new constellation has been imprinted there.

I'm breathing heavily.

Once I dash back to the burrow, I let out a stream of air.

It's true.

What Ron wrote us in the letter is true.

You-know-who is back.
