Chapter Three: Death Eaters are still among us

disclaimer : I don't own anything

"Harry get up now." Jesse said, shaking Harry.

Harry opened his eyes to see his older brother's worried face.

"Jesse, what is it?" Harry demanded, he could hear screams and laughter, coming through the tent, from outside.

"Get your shoes on, Harry and come outside." Jesse ordered, then headed for the tent flap.

"Make sure you grab your wand." He called, as he went out.

Harry looked over at Cody to see him tying his shoe, then stand up, he then put on a shirt but was still in his boxers.

"Cody, whats going on, whats with all the screaming?" He asked, watching Cody snatch up his wand.

"Death Eaters are attacking, Harry, just hurry up." Cody demanded, running outside.

That got Harry moving, the only time Cody used Harry's real name or snapped at him was when he was worried or upset.

Harry quickly put on his shoes, not bothering with his shocks, then began frantically looking for his wand. Not finding it he gave up and went outside, dressed only in red and black checker pajama pants and a white t-shirt.

"What took you so long?" Jesse demanded, once he saw Harry. He was standing in between Sirius and Arthur Weasley. Standing by her dad holding on to one of his arms, in a pair of old baggy Gryffindore pajamas was Ginny. The pajamas Harry guessed was past to her from one of her brothers . Rigel was standing by Sirius still in what he had on at the match, so did Teddy who was on the other side of Rigel.

"I Can't find my wand." Harry said, as a spell shot through the air not far from them .

"What, How many times do I have to tell you to keep track of your wand?" Jesse yelled.

"I had it in my pocket at the match but now it's gone." Harry said.

"You of all people should aways have your wand." Jesse sighed " Voldemort maybe weak, but as you can see. " He- pointed- at -the- masked- attackers. " They are Death Eaters still around."

"Guys, now is not the time to argue." Cody walked up to them.

" Harry, I want you to go with your friends in to the woods." Jesse told him. "One of us will come get you when it's safe."

"But what about you and Cody?" Harry asked. "And where is the others?"

"Cody and I are going to help out." Jesse explained " Bill and Charlie are already out there some where, and Ginny's other brothers and Hermione went ahead in the woods." Just then there was a scream they all turned to see a muggle family up in the air.

"Sick, bastards." Cody yelled, and ran of to help them as did Sirius, when a little muggle girl was beginning to spin around like a top.

"Harry, go on." Jesse said, fearfully glancing up at Harry's scar.

Ginny let go of her father's arm and took Harry's hand and started to drag Harry to the wood.

"Don't let yourself be seen." Jesse yelled after him.

On their way in to the wood they passed burning tents, people running past screaming, they avoided any masked people, do more for Harry not having a wand, than from fear. As they entered the woods one of them cried out and then there was a big thump, as someone fall to the ground.

"Whats wrong ." Ginny cried" LUMOS" Her wand let up to see Teddy getting to his feet. She let go off Harry's hand as she went to Teddy to see if he was hurt anywhere.

"You didn't get hit with anything did you," Harry asked, worried for his friend, next to him Rigel lit up his wand.

"No, I just tripped." Teddy answered.

Then someone off to the side snorted. They all looked over to see none other than Draco Malfoy standing there, smirking at them. There was a blast then more screams, Harry could smell smoke from the burning tents.

Draco laughed quietly to his self."Doesn't take much to scare them." He looked toward the screams. Then at Harry.

"Where is your big brothers now, Potter." Draco mocked. "Out, there trying to stop the masked bad guys."

" What about your father Malfoy?" Teddy asked. "Is he out there with the masked lot."

" Better than what your father is Lupin." Draco snapped.

" Don't talk about my dad." Teddy yelled. If you wanted to see a goof ball like Teddy get real mad, all you had to do was say one bad thing about a member of his family.

"Were is your father at?" Draco looked up at the full moon. "Oh, that's right he along with the little half-breed you call a sister, are right at this moment howling at the moon."

" You prat." Teddy yelled. He went for Draco but Ginny held him back.

"Morph, don't." Ginny said. "Your family is better than his."

"Yeah," Rigel agreed. " At lest your dad doesn't result to dropping to his knees, and kissing the robs of another man.'

The Malfoy's are so obsessed with blood, they most likely already got Draco here betrothed to his cousin Hydra." Ginny said.

Teddy, Harry and Rigel busted out laughing. As Malfoy turned red

" You little blood traitor you just wait." Draco snapped.

"Wait for what?" Ginny mocked.

"Come on guys. " Harry said, before a fight broke out. "We should go on." He took Ginny's hand who had glared at Malfoy, as if she was about to punch him, like she did in third year and pulled her along with him deeper into the wood.

The four friends walked for ten more feet into the woods they could barely hear anything now.

"It should be okay to stop here." Ginny said, letting go of Harry's hand, Harry couldnt't help but miss the feel of her hand on his, as he watched her yawn, she starched her arms up, he couldn' help, but watch her shirt raise up and show her little waist, and for the first time he noticed Ginny had a small tattoo there, by her belly button, a dagger with a rose vine wrapped around it.

"Nox," Her wand went out, and Harry shook his head, wondering why he had just been staring at his best friend's waist.

"Hope the others are okay." Harry said.

"I'm sure they are." Rigel said, he had put his wand out and was leaning on a tree and crossing his arms.

"Yeah, I wouldn't worry, Harry." Teddy agreed. "They'll all be okay."

"I guess." Harry sat down on the ground and crossed his legs in front of him.

" I didn't think so many Death Eaters had mange to stay out of Azkaban." Ginny said, setting next to Harry.

"If you got the Galleons you can mange a lot of things." Rigel said, darkly.

"I wonder whats going on now." Teddy asked." You think the fightings stop yet?"

"Don't know ." Harry said.

"Imagine if my dad catches Lucius Malfoy." Ginny laughed.

"I would love to see Draco's face then." Teddy said.

" Yeah but he would just by his way off." Rigel added

They all fell silent after that nobody making a sound, than Harry suddenly jumped up real fast and walked to the other side, he put his hand on a tree and tried to listen

" Harry, what is it ?' Ginny asked standing up.

" I heard something." Harry answered.

Rigel now joined Harry by the tree.

"I think I can hear foot steps." He said.

"May be its Sirius or one of the others coming to get us." Teddy wondered.

"Not coming from that way ." Harry said.

" Alright, who's out there." Rigel called and Harry covered his mouth with his hand.

"Don't let them know we're here." Harry snapped. "It could be anybody."

They were all silent listening to the footsteps then suddenly the footsteps stopped and a voice called out.

"MORSMORDRE."

Then something green erupted from the darkness and flew up over the tree tops Harry realized what it was a colossal skull with a snake protruding from its mouth as if it was its tongue, Harry knew it all to well the dark mark.

"Bloody hell." Teddy gasped. He came up and stood next to Rigel.

"The dark mark." Rigel told him, being so young when the first war was going on not many kids Harry's age or younger Knew of the dark mark.

"It's creepy." Ginny said, making Harry jump, he hadn't noticed her come up to him. Ginny shuddered as she looked up at it, so Harry puy his arm around her to comfort her and she quickly buried her face in his shoulder and her arm around his waist. Then suddenly Harry pushed her to the ground and covered her as Rigel did the same to Teddy as about twenty voices yelled out .

"StUPEFY". and red light flew all around them.

"Stop.. Stop." A familiar voice yelled "I Know them." Sirius came running forward . "Rigel, Harry, none of you were hit were you?" Sirius asked, as he helped Ginny to her feet. "How about you Teddy or you Ginny."

" We 're all fine Padfoot." Teddy told him and Sirius sighed.

"Why you all attack us?" Rigel demanded. Harry could tell he was mad.

"Which one of you did it." A stern wizard asked, who Harry knew to be Barty Crouch

"Did what?" Ginny asked.

" The dark mark, " Crouch said "Which of you did it."

"What we didn't do that." Harry snapped.

"Barty, they are just kids. " Sirius said "Teenagers wouldn't know how." Harry noted his eyes wander to Rigel. .

"Why are they in the woods then?" Someone asked.

"My brother told us to come here and wait for him to come get us." Harry said.

"Then did any of you children see anybody?" Amos Diggory asked.

"We heard something over there." Ginny said, pointing to where they had heard the footsteps.

"I'll see if I can find anything." Amos said, walking off. as others told him to be carefull. He returned moments later.

"Whoever it was, is long gone by now." Amos said "But they dropped their wand."

"Are you sure it's the one that cast the dark mark?" Someone asked.

"One way to find out." Amos pulled out his wand and taped the end of the other and said. ' PRIORI INCANTATEM" A small dark mark shot out from the end of it and making the wand look as if it glowed, and Harry knew who that wand belonged to.

"Hey, that's mine." He cried and, everyone turned to him startled.

"So you're saying you did it." Amos asked.

"No, my wand went missing after the Quidditch match." Harry explained.

"Missing or did someone take it?" Barty asked, looking at Rigel.

"Yeah, It was me." Rigel said, sarcastically. "I stole my best mates wand casted the dark mark my father showed me how to do when I was still in my mum womb."

" Listen, we are not going to find out who did it, so why don't we all go on back to our tents and try to get a little sleep." Sirius said. While shooting Barty a glare. "I'm sure Ginny's family and Harry's brothers are worried about them."

"Fine, we should all get some sleep, I'll be needed early at Ministry." Barty said, and everyone soon agreed.

"Mr Diggory, may I have my wand?" Harry asked.

Amos Diggory looked as if he wanted to protested, but Rigel took it out of his hand and handed it to Harry.

They were all soon making their way back through the wood and to their camp site, when they got to the others. Ginny was at once hugged by her father.

"Thank Merlin you're safe." Mr. Weasley cried, her brothers soon joined them.

Harry was suddenly tackled in a huge by Cody and Jesse was right behind him.

"Where have you been?" Jesse demanded, Sirius who was still with Harry told him what had went down in the wood, both Cody and Jesse paled when they heard Harry's wand was the one used for the dark mark.

"You need to keep an eye on your wand, anybody could have been tha one to take it." Jesse yelled.

"Jesse, come on, nows not the time." Cody told him, and Harry saw he had blood on his face from a small cut, just above his jaw.

"Lets all just try to get a little sleep before we go." Sirius put in.

Jesse sighed. "Alright you lot most be pretty sleepy." Both his brothers nodded their heads. The Weasley guys had already went into their tent and Hermione had came over, kissed Cody goodnight, then went into her tent, but before Ginny followed, she shocked Harry by coming over and giving him a kiss on the cheek. Then disappeared behind Hermione.

And after he got over his shock said goodnight to his godfather and friends, then went in to his tent, when Cody walked in after him, he looked at Harry with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't say anything." Harry warned, Cody shook his head, laughing as he sat on his bunk.

"You two are so going to end up together." Cody said.

"We are not." Harry snapped, then rolled over and faceed the wall, so he wouldn't have to look at his brother's smirking face.
