Stepping out of the woods, he spotted the Manor. The sun had already sunken below the horizon. A diffuse light guided him to the small side of the building. He ran face-first into a wall when he spotted the "golden trio" as the Hogwarts students had duped them, concocting in the middle of a glowing circle. Ready to protest the harsh treatment, he noticed Voldemort standing at the edge of the terrace, arms lowered, palms parallel to the floor, his wand at the ready. His attention was divided between Severus and the children. Looking around, the Potion Master spotted a mumbling well, a small fire-pit, a patch of luscious flowers and a wind-chime at the edges of their circle. Symbols and candles were evenly spaced between the items. What kind of ritual was that?
