HP Fan Fiction

Chapter Six

After the Quidditch World Cup

We walked back to our camp site. We had a fun time celebrating the end of the cup, but the night soon ended and we all went to bed.

Later, after I had fallen asleep, I was woken by screaming coming from outside. I got up, finding Ginny and Hermione already awake and ready to go outside to find out what was going on. We found Mr. Weasley outside of the boy's tent with the boys.

"There are Death Eaters running around, they got a hold of the muggle in charge of our campsite and his family, so stick together everyone and head into the forest and go as far away as possible!" He told us. "Fred, George. Ginny and Allie are your responsibility; the Death Eaters are obviously after muggles, make sure you don't let them out of your sight."

We all left then, Mr. Weasley went toward the screaming people, and we all headed toward the woods. Once we were in the woods, everything got hectic. We lost track of Harry, Ron, and Hermione and I had to be very careful not to lose Fred, George, and Ginny. People were running around me yelling for their families or friends, I thought I saw Sami once, but then she was gone. We just kept running, at one point I think I saw the same stump three times.

I looked around and couldn't see anyone who I knew. Fred, George, and Ginny were gone and I didn't know where I was. To say I was scared would be the understatement of the year. I was a muggle surrounded by wizards. Anyone who would be looking for muggles would look for someone without a wand, and since everyone around me had their wands out, I stuck out like a sore thumb. I just kept running, suddenly I was out of the woods, crap! I turned around and ran into a man. I stumbled backward and realized he was wearing a mask, knowing that the Death Eaters wore masks, I started to run. Another one grabbed me and threw me on the ground. I looked up and saw I was surrounded by them.

"You filthy Muggle, thinking you can come among our kind and get away with it!" The one who threw me on the ground said. I was terrified, so I stood up and ran to try to knock them over; they just pushed me back into the middle of the circle. I was going to die. That was it; I lost my mom, my dad, all my family, my friends, now I was going to die. My life was over.

I then found myself on the ground with someone's arm over my waist. There was a loud "AVADA KADAVRA" from the circle of Death Eaters. There was a flash above me and the person next to me, it was green and very bright and seemed to singe the air. Thankfully it missed us both and we sat up. I looked over at the person who had saved me, it was Fred. Fred Weasley saved my life, for the moment at least, the Death Eaters were repositioning their wands to hit us. He grabbed me and we held each other.

There was another flash of light and I knew I was dead, but I could still feel Fred holding on to me, so I looked up. In the sky there was the Dark Mark, a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth. I wasn't the only one looking at it though, all the Death Eaters were looking at it too, and they were afraid. Then the spell wore off and one by one they all disappeared.

I looked over at Fred, and I hit him. "What were you thinking?!? You could have been killed!" I shouted at him. "Well, you would have been!" He yelled back at me. We sat there glaring at each other for a minute, then his expression softened and I said a small thank you to him just as George and Ginny came running up.

"What were you thinking, Fred?" George asked him. "Yea, that's what I asked him!" I said. "But he did sort of save my life, so leave him alone."

"Yea," Fred said. Ginny left George's side and ran up and gave me a big hug, we walked back to the campsite holding each other's hands. She's my new little sister, I thought.

We were there before Mr. Weasley, Harry, Ron, and Hermione got back. All that stuff that happened in the woods was explained to us by Mr. Weasley. We went to bed then, Ginny wouldn't let go of my hand until we climbed into bed.
