A New Evil Awakens
He gasped as he ran up the cobblestoned pathway to Shell Cottage.The wizard who had just been brutally attacked moments ago sruggled to take in the vital oxygen needed .He tried to call out to the occupants of Shell Cottage ,but he collapsed and died in the middle of the yard.
Bill Weasley meanwhile had been tossing and turning all night long. He could not help but have the nagging feeling that all was not well.He hadn't felt this uneasty since the Battle for Hogwarts was fought nearly 20 years ago.His entire family led by his famous brother in law Harry Potter helped to take down the most feared wizard of all Lord Voldemort,People have been dreading and anticipating for a new evil to take his place.So far the last 20 years had been relatively peaceful,but all of that was to change that fateful morning.
Bill was roused from his slumber by the screams of his wife Fleur Delacour Weasley.The lovely wife of Bill had gotten up to take care of their newborn daughter Annabelle Clarice ,when she discovered the dead wizard in the yard.Seeing as how they were in quite a remote area ,without the trouble of nosy neighbours to enquire about the presence of the body within the yard,the head curse breaker of Gringotts decided to get word to his brother in law Harry Potter by owl
After seeing the owl off Bill turned to his wife and began to comfort her.He held her closely and tried to assure her that this must have been some random killing that took place ,and there was no need to fear for their family's safety.Fleur knew that Bill did not really believe this ,but she nodded in agreement just the same,one thing was certain to both Weasley's there and then if anyone knew or had any idea what to do then it would be their brother-in-law ,the Head Auror Harry Potter.A pecking on the closed window made them both jump,it was the owl that Bill sent to Harry,it came with a reply.Bill shakily took the scroll of parchment from the Owls extended leg and began to read.
Bill,
I hate to be the bearer of grim tidings,but the body you discovered at Shell Cottage was one of six found last night.Six bodies all bearing marks of having being afflicted with the Cruciatius Curse.The Ministry is trying to take all preacautions necessary to ensure everyone's safety but there has been a quiet unease amongst the head officials here,Those of us who were active during the days of Lord Voldemort remember that his rise to power started with some mysterious deaths as well.
Of course they may have nothing to do with each other,and the Minstry will have the culprit brhing these heinous attacks behind bars soon enough. If ,and I cant help but stress this enough .If A new evil has indeed arisen to take the place of Lord Voldemort then the wizrding community is in for some very dark days indeed.
I therefore urge and implore yourself and Fleur,to be extra vigilant,and to keep a watchful eye over darling Annabelle.Ginny and myself are planning to invite everyone to our house for Christmas because as you know there is safety in numbers.When James,Rose,Victoire,Jean and the others return home we all must do everything within our power to emsure the safety of our families.If a new evil is indeed amongst our midst we must act fast to flush it out quickly,there is only thing we can do and that is hope,hope to god that we are wrong.
Keep a wary out my friend .Keep in touch via owls and we shall see you all at the Burrow for the Holidays,Ginny sends her to love to you ,Fleur and darling Annabelle
Stay strong and vigilant
Harry
Bill and Fleur solemnly looked at each other and they began to worry.What exactly is out there? Is there a new evil in our midst?
