Chapter Eight

Recalling the Demons

It appeared to have been meticulously planned. The strangeness of it all gave Harry an odd sense of déjà vu creeping slowly down his spine with chilled fingers.

The letters were large, easy to read. The person who had put them up had obviously thought the situation out from every angle possible. The words appeared to have been written by magic, not by hand. The message had been placed in a most inconvenient place – right outside the Main Hall. How anyone would miss seeing it in his or her daily routine was impossible.

Harry once again reread the strange message on the stone wall.

Awaken Fire and Ice

The letters swirled as if alive -- coiling and intertwining inside of each other, but never changing what was written. Then he realized – it wasn't the letters that were moving, it was snakes. Small snakes writhed in the words – drawn, but nevertheless impossibly realistic.

Above the phenomenon in question was the reason Ron had shouted 'Bloody Hell!' and why there was a dead silence in the corridor.
