Hugo couldn't believe that, of all the Wizards in the world, a school friend had died. It seemed as absurd as hearing that the Death Eaters had returned. How many more people would suffer this time? And what did Scorpius have to do with them? Scorpius was such a nice guy. He was polite and never offensive. Hugo has liked him ever since his cousin Albus first brought him home, a long time ago.
