The rumours spread like wildfire.

It was Snape who killed Dumbledore. No one has seen Professor Burbage since the summer. The Carrows are Death Eaters. Snape is a Death Eater. Anyone caught helping Potter will be tortured with the Cruciatus Curse.

Potter is looking for something.

The whispers spread like wildfire.

They can’t do this. They can’t have Hogwarts. Look at McGonagall-have you seen her face?

Talk to Longbottom. Talk to Weasley. They know things.

Potter is looking for something, and when he finds it, he will come back.

Dumbledore’s Army!
