Zuko slowly followed his family back towards the woods. they were soon caught up with crowds now flowing out of the stadium heading back to their tents. They could hear other fans cheering and singing as they walked back down the path in the woods. When they got back to their tent everyone went in their own direction, Narcissa to take a shower, Draco to his room, and Lucius turned to Zuko.

"You will go to your room and stay there till the morning, dont even think about coming out of the tent until the sun is out, got it?" Lucius glared at him.

"You can't tell me what to do, thats what your little house elf is for," Zuko made a disgusting face back a Lucius.

"Don't talk back to me!" Lucius point his wand to the prince's throat, nothing seemed to happen. "Be glad i didn't take you fire away this time,"

Zuko looked at the man confused, "What?" He went to say but no sound came out. he stared at Lucius horrified. Zuko grabbed his own throat as if protecting it would make his voice come back, "What did you do?"He mouthed at the blonde haired wizard.

"Go to your room! I don't want to hear another word from you all night!" Lucius grinned at his ironic joke. he then gave him a kick towards the tent's stairs. Zuko let out a silent yelp and headed upstairs. How long was this spell going to last?

Zuko's camping room had a bed and his duffle bag in it, besides those two things it was completely empty. He sat down on the bed and wondered what the Weasleys were doing right now, probably throwing a crazy party celebrating their victory. He could hear fireworks in the distance and once or twice he saw a wizard walk back to their tent with a veela. Leprechauns shot passed his window with a green glow spreading gold everywhere. Zuko thought about the poor muggle campers who wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight.

The prince got changed into some long pajama pants and laid down to rest. his head was racing from the match's excitement but he still managed to get his eyes closed. Dozing off he fell into a light sleep.

He woke up, sweat beaded his face and chest. Dimly he could tell that something was wrong. The singing that had once been outside turned to screams, the sound of people's feet running past the tent sounded like thunder. Zuko jumped out of bed and ran to the window of the tent. people were running and yelling, he saw flames burn down tents around theirs and people stuggled to save their families from the disaster. Zuko's eyes widened, "Oh no," he mouthed forgetting that his voice was gone.

The bender ran through the tent house and silently called out to the Malfoys. They had to get out of there now if they wanted to survive the oncoming flames. Racing through the house three times over he found that nobody was there, they had left him in the middle of the night, forgotten. He silently swore and raged out of the house.

the night air froze his sweating skin, his chest and face put him in shock for a second. Snapping out of it he saw the flames approaching slowly. The other campers were running for the woods away from the fire. He squinted through the bright flames and saw hooded figures tightly packed walking towards him. They shot spells and curses out of their wands making noise that sounded like gun shots. To Zuko's horror, floating above them were four stuggling figures, being twisted and turned into grotesque shapes. The figures looked like marionettes and the masked wizards, their masters. Zuko looked harder and noticed that the larger male shape was Mr. Roberts, the muggle grounds owner, the women must have been Mrs. Roberts and Zuko assumed the smaller two were their children. Zuko felt sick seeing the immoral display.

Zuko noticed that more and more wizards joined the group, all clad in black hoods and white masks. They pointed and laughed at the flying muggles. The group slowly marched down the lines of tents, throwing curses that sent the canvas houses flying or on fire, the screaming grew louder.

A women wizard ran past him, knocking him out of his stare. She ran past him towards the woods, Zuko followed in that direction, high taling it away from the dangerous wizards. He ran past lanes and lanes of tents when he saw a small child crying. The little muggle girl lost her mom in the rampaging crowd.

"MOM!"the girl cried out, shouting for someone zuko couldn't see.

The prince approached the girl he wanted to help her, being a muggle in this situation was deadly especially for a defencless child. He was feet away when a cloaked wizard stepped out from behind a tent and pointed his wand at the girl. Zuko saw that the man too had a mask. The figure wave his wand and the girl started to float out of the air slowly.

"NO!" Zuko silently yelled, and threw his fists toward the man. Strong powerful fire streams flung the man back, setting him running away with his robes alight. He ran to the girl on the ground and picked her up, he wanted to comfort her but didn't have time the group was approaching fast. He ran for the woods. The trail from the Quidditch cup was dark. he could see shadows of people running around in the forest, trying to get away from the terrorizing image.

"Mary! Mary where are you?" he heard a womans voice not too far off cry for a missing family member.

The girl he carried perked up an yelled "Momma!" Zuko headed in the direction of the womens voice. Jumping over tree roots and dodging old stumps he found the lady running in circles frantically looking for her missing child. He sprinted up to her, she let out a scream of releif as she saw her child unharmed. Setting her down, the girl gave him a big hug and ran to her mother who picked her up and sprinted away, yelling thank you's and God bless's behind her to Zuko.

Zuko continued down the path and almost ran into the Red headed family. They all looked tired and frightened, standing in the dark with only their night shirts on. The twins and ginny were gone, Only Molly Arthur Harry Ron Hermione and Percy were together.

"I am going to help the ministry!" Mr. Weasley yelled, "Go find you brothers and sister! stay in the woods, stay safe!"

Percy jumped up at the word ministry, "I will help to Dad!" He whipped his wand out of his night shirt.

"Very well," his dad approved, "The rest of you head through the woods to safety!"

Zuko stepped forward, He was going with them. He silently mouthed it to Arthur who stared oddly at him. He pointed at his throat, with a wave of Percys wand, Zuko felt liquid run down his throat freeing his voice box.

"I am coming with you," Zoka said, his speech finally could be heard.

"Son, I am not sure with your abilities-" Mr.. Weasley said.

"My abilities are fine!" Zuko snapped, "I want to help,"

"Oh fine, very well, but you need to stay with me," Mr. Weasley turned towards the feild, "Let go!" the ran back into the open where the group of cloacked figures started to disperse. Mr. Weasley started waving his wand throwing curses everywhere, slowly making his way through the crownd towards the muggles, Zuko followed behind. Mr. Weasley was focused on a wizard ahead of them when three more came up on their back.

"Watch out!" Zuko called, he whipped his arms and spun a kick, sending blazing arcs at the three wizards, sending them back running.

"What in the bloody hell was that?" Arthur yelled behind him at Zuko.

"My abilities," Zuko called back.

they continued making their way through the crowd. Zuko threw fire bombs and fire blades towards their attackers, sending them running, some even ran before he had a chance to strike. They neared the Flying muggles where some ministry wizards were fighting the cloaked ones. there was a large explosion of green glittering smoke in the sky. Zuko at first thought it was the leprechauns again, but looking at the smoke form he knew he was dead wrong. He was looking at a skull made out of emerald stars with a snake coming out of its mouth like a snake.

"No," he heard mr. Weasley gasp as he too looked up to the sky.

The ministry wizards were fighting all around them, the Dark wizards were starting to disband, either running off or being captured, though the pack of them were still holding strong. Each minister was sparring a cloaked figure, lights and sparks flung from every wand in the area. Zuko then noticed Two red headed boys were also in the mix, throwing stink bombs and fire crackers curses where they can.

"Fred George? Fred George get out of here!" Mr. Weasley yelled at the kids. "Zuko take the twins back to the woods now!"

"But i want to-"

"Please!" Arthur turned to him and looked terrified, he wasn't afraid for himself how ever, it looked like he feared for his sons. "Now!" the red head gave him and his sons a push towards the trees. Zuko Practically had to drag them away with many complaints about honour from the boys. when they were far enough away, Zuko stopped pull the boys and they all ran together. Cloaked men stood in their way and one by one they fell to Zuko's fire. He ran with a fire whip in each hand, lashing out at any cloacked figures who attacked.

"Thats Amazing!" He heard the boys yell behind him, shooting spells from their magic sticks.

making it to the woods, they let up the pace a bit, but to nothing less than a run. Zuko easily dodged the tree roots with his light feet, but the twins were not as graceful. He heard a thud and a cry of pain, he turned to see Fred on the ground clutching his foot.

"Hurry! he yelled back at the twins. they needed to find the others and fast, he wanted to make sure they were safe.

"I think its broken!" George called as Fred lay on the ground grasping his foot in pain.

Zuko went to help Fred up when a cloaked figure stepped out of the shadows, pointing his stick at the three boys. The cloaked man had two swords strapped to his back, and a bag of coins on his belt, probably all stolen from the Wizard venders. The prince created his whips in his hands, "GO! Help Freddie and Go!" I'll stall him!" he shouted at the twins. George helped his brother off the ground and helped him limp away as fast as they could. Zuko and the man glared at each other through the mask. The prince launched himself towards the man and slashed his whips at the figure. The first one missed, igniting a small bush fear the man's feet but the second snapped the white mask. The mask flew off, revealing the Cloaked man's face.

"Lucius," Zuko gasped at the blond wizard standing in front of him. the wizard gave a small chuckle and flicked his wand towards the bender. a spark left the wand and hit Zuko square in the chest, knocking him over. he tried to get up but his legs and arms were locked up tight. "What are you doing? Don't you know there are innocent people out there?"

"Of course i do," He sneered, "Innocent filthy muggles who desearved to be wiped out," Lucius withdrew a sword from his back and pointed it at Zuko.

"Do it, kill me. I wouldn't want to be the one who told my father that he killed his first born," Zuko growled.

"Don't worry i won't kill you, but obviously after seeing my face you would go directly to the ministry and i can't let that happen. So lets just say what happens next was all just an accident hmm?" Lucius grinned and raised the sword. "Let's say a Death Eater attacked you with a sword," Bringing it down, the sword punctured his right shoulder, pinning him to the ground. "Then left the blade, as if it he had been disarmed," Lucius dropped the other sword he had in the growing pool of blood. "Now for the memory loss," He kicked Zuko over the head. The prince wreathed in pain, he felt a large lump swell on his head, the sore throbbed in pain. His eyes were sliding in and out of focus. Glancing up at Lucius he saw the end of a wand point at him directly in between the eyes.

Lucius's lips curled up, a grin zuko thought he would only see on his sister, "Obliviate"
