No Smoke without Fire
Smoke wreathed upwards from the tiny clearing. Harry gasped in relief: three days late for the rendezvous, he’d only been half-certain that Ron would hang on for him. Pushing brambles aside, he edged forward.
And stopped.
He stared, appalled, at the burnt-out shell of what had been a hut. A flash of maroon jersey caught his eye, poking out from under a fallen beam.
Harry darted across the clearing, tugging at the beam with a strength borne of desperation and shoving it frantically aside. Sightless blue eyes grinned up at him.
Ron…
A heavy hand fell on his shoulder.
