The paper boy has just walked in for a Butterbeer - it's a bone chilling day outside.
"Hey there sonny, I'd like a copy of the Daily Prophet."
"That'll be five knuts sir."
You are feeling generous.
"Here's a sickle. Keep the change!"
"Why thank you ever so much sir!"
The boy grabs his beer and runs out.
"My my! It'll be a cold and hard winter up at Hogwarts this year.
As if those brats weren't bothering Dumbledore enough with their increasing acts of delinquence, and now this!"
"What is it?" asks Madam Rosmerta.
"Nothing much...other than the DarkLord apparently proclaiming his dominion over the known world, magical and otherwise. It's claimed that he said he shall be arriving soon in Hogwarts to personally deal with Dumbledore.
Tchah! It's a cock and bull story if I ever saw one! Dumbeldore is the greatest wizard alive and will surely handle what Volde.."
::Sharp intakes of breath all round::
"Er...handle what You Know Who can throw at him."
::Sighs of relief::
"If she hadn't disappeared like she had, I'd have sworn that Skeeter dame was behind all this."
Who knows what the winter will bring up to the castle?!"
