I had just gotten up from where Sirius and I were talking in the Gryffindor Common Room to get a glass of water, when Thomas and James walked in. They were laughing as they walked and Thomas held what appeared to be a new wand casually in the palm of his hand. It was pointing straight at me.

Sirius immediately stood and moved in front of me into a protective stance, "Put your wand down and get away from her," he said, his voice strong. I put my hand on his back to let him know it was fine.

Thomas commented, "This is a new wand. I won't accidently hurt her now." His eyes were a bit sad.

Sirius stood still for a moment longer, then relinquished his guard. As I sat down, I pulled out that day's copy of the Daily Prophet. The front page article caught my eye.

Death Eater, Butterfirt, Out of Azkaban

One of You-Know-Who's Death Eaters was released from Azkaban early yesterday morning. Alan Butterfirt was let out on the account of Barty Crouch Sr., who said Butterfirt had been wrongfully accused at his trial. Previously known as one of You-Know-Who's most powerful Death Eaters, Butterfirt is now living a mundane life in London, while terrorizing the wizarding community around him.

I stopped reading and stared in amazement at my friends and brother. "Well, that's a comforting thought."

Thomas and Sirius asked at the same time, "What is?" They glanced at each other then looked back at me.

"There's a Death Eater, named Butterfirt-." I broke off as they burst out laughing, "What? What's so funny?"

Thomas barely managed to choke out, "Butterfirt. That is such an odd name. How did he survive being a Death Eater with a name like Butterfirt?"

"I don't know. He just did. He's one of You-Know-Who's most powerful Death Eaters. He got let out of Azkaban yesterday. He's free."

Thomas' laugh ended in a slight hiccup and Sirius' face instantly went stony. Sirius asked, in a soft voice, "What do you mean, he's out of Azkaban?"

"Barty Crouch Sr. let him out. Good, old Barty said Butterfirt had been wrongly accused."

"I always hated that man." Sirius replied.

"Why have you always hated him?" Thomas asked.

"Oh, no reason…" Sirius said, trailing off, leaving much to be discovered.

I skimmed through the rest of the article and again stopped and began really reading when I saw the word Hogwarts.

It has been rumored that Butterfirt stated many times that 'Hogwarts was a brilliant place. I would love to return.'

"He said he loves Hogwarts." I said.

"What?" Sirius asked, confused. He had pulled out a Wizard Chess board to play a game, I assumed with James.

"Butterfirt. He said he love Hogwarts."

"So… What does that mean?" Thomas replied.

"So, it means he may come here!"
