Nobody announced it. There was no cryptic message from any of the natives before this started.
[As long as she'd been here, events had always come with some kind of warning. It usually didn't make much sense, usually didn't help much, but it was still there, assurance that whatever had come would pass before too long and all they had to do was make it through. The only cryptic warning given this time had been from Tom himself, albeit a different version.
She was furious with him for not telling her more, flat-out pissed that he thought it was okay to bring this on himself. What the hell sense did that make?
She let her hand fall away from his, folding her arms a second time, closing herself off. There wasn't much she could do for him until this was over, as far as comfort went. They had both seen Harry, fought with Harry just like he'd said. They just needed everyone else to see that he was real.]
I fought him, too. Nothing made-up about that broken arm he gave me. [She grits her teeth.] That should be all the proof anyone needs, if they're going to insist on being assholes and looking for a scapegoat. You would never hurt me.
