Nick Wolfe, a fourth year Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, was sitting in the Great
Hall eating breakfast when the morning post arrived. His copy of the Daily
Prophet landed in his porridge. As he unrolled the slightly damp newspaper,
his mouth dropped at the headlines.
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named Murders Potters,
Young Boy Harry Survives Attack
...House burnt to ground...Dark Mark was sighted...first person to survive Avada Kedavra...
He set down the paper and sighed. This was happening all too often recently. But for a child to have survived Avada Kedavra...
Later that week, he received an owl from his Muggle parents. It contained a newspaper clipping from the Muggle news and a note from his little brother. The note read:
"Nick, our neighbors down the street got their house burnt to the ground. God, that was scary. They say only one really lucky kid got out alive. The police say it was arsonists. I'm not too sure, though. I saw a group of really suspicious people hanging around the wreck after the police left. They searched the debris for something, but apparently didn't find it. I wish I were there studying magic with you."
Nick took a look at the article. He gasped as he recognized the wreckage of the Potter house. Several strange people looking for something around the Potter house? What could that mean? He fell asleep that night mulling the facts over in his head. A group of strange people not reported on the Daily Prophet in breaking news? Why?
