Umbridge's voice trembled, and a wave of dizziness washed over her, as if she had been struck by an invisible force. She could not believe that the Dark Lord, who had once been defeated and was thought to be gone forever, had truly returned to this world.
Rita watched Umbridge's shocked expression, a complex emotion welling up in her heart. She knew that this mark was not merely a brand, but a shackle—a shackle that bound her firmly in the shadow of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Yet she also understood that she now had no way out; she could only brace herself and face this cruel reality.
"Yes, he has truly returned. And he has already begun to make his move."
