As suddenly as it had begun the storm abated. Harry spotted a sliver of light coming from one corner of the field. He pointed it out to Snape and cautiously the crept towards it. They could just make out four figures standing in the field. Snape conjured a listening charm.

“That’s a bit risky,” Harry said. “What if they notice?”

“It’s low frequency, so it’s not likely they’ll pick it up above the rest of the magic.” Snape replied.

The sound of the voices was so quiet Snape had to bend down so he and Harry were practically ear to ear. They listened to the conversation and once it was finished they silently made their way to the opposite side of their field.

“So the field is being used as a training ground,” Harry said. “But for what?”

“A group getting together and planning to do a quiet takeover of an organisation. I’ve heard it all before. This is their recruitment phase.”

“But who for? Where and when?”

“Of that I have no idea, we’ll leave that to the Aurors to sort out.”

“We should let them know at once.”

Snape gave a quirky smile. “An admirable notion, although I don’t believe it’s quite that urgent; the Aurors will be able to do a floo trace for a few days yet, it’s not as though it’s used frequently.”

“But,” Harry started to protest.

“Also we need to find a way out of this field without attracting any attention, and the only non-magical way I can currently think of is by walking.”
