"Hey! Guys, look! A skull!" Garnish yipped, tail wagging. "Oh! It is!" Yappy barked. "You found something!" Draco's whole face lit up. His tail stuck in the air. Then it drooped instantly, as soon as he saw the skull. " That's- that's I think that skull belongs to Marigold." Garnish's jaw dropped. "Marigold!" He bounded over to Draco. "How did she die?"
