#18—Whomping Willow
Lucius suspected something but couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Potter and his friends were up to something strange. The four of them would disappear before dinner ended and they wouldn’t be seen until the following morning. Dumbledore also planted that Whomping Willow on the grounds. Why would Dumbledore plant such a dangerous tree so near students? He’d seen what it could do if kids got too close. He watched Narcissa walk within branch length of it one day. It flicked her thirty yards away, scattering her books and parchment everywhere. He hadn’t laughed that hard in a while.
