They were just negotiating the ditch separating the field they were in from the next one, when Snape abruptly stopped.  Harry wobbled and grabbed hold of a branch to stop sliding into the stream which ran along the bottom of the ditch.

“Look,” said Snape, pointing to a plume of smoke which was visible in the sky above where the cottage was situated.

“What’s the problem?” Harry asked.  “The fire’s not going to affect us.”

“Maybe not directly, but if we can see the smoke it means it’s broken clear of the wards, which means the fire may do so too, with the potential to set fire to the crop.

Snape and Harry scrabbled back out of the ditch and ran across the field.  The small gap at the corner of the next field which they’d looked through earlier had expanded, and they could see the fire clearly.  What was left of the cottage was already smouldering, with flames shooting up from where the floo had been.

Harry and Snape raced across the field, waving their wands in order to extinguish the fire.  Once they were happy the fire was out, Harry cast another spell to dampen the embers, and he and Snape turned towards two rather sorry looking individuals who were standing nearby.
