After walking on for a bit longer as the two passed a large burnt and hollowed tree, this did pique Ligo's interest, and he asked what had happened to the poor willow. Albus explained that it had once been alive and had, unfortunately, maimed and killed a former student. He could still remember the burning now, its branches or arms outstretched and flailing against the flames licking at its trunk. It sounded like nothing Albus had heard before, and he could still remember it vividly. James and Lily had not been there, so he was the last person still alive to have heard a tree scream. It was strange that the young man had not enquired further about the comment of a former student. Albus was used to previous winners ploughing him with questions about what it was like when Hogwarts was still a school. He enjoyed answering these queries, even the impertinent questions about his experience at Hogwarts, but this boy Ligo seemed to have no interest in Hogwart's storied past. The burnt willow was the same one Lily had successfully snuck past in her second year at Hogwarts. Fortunately, she had managed the feat without harm and even braved the passage again on successive occasions.
