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.
