After an incredible match, Harry, Sirius, and Remus made their way back to their tent with some leftover snacks from the game.
"That was incredible!" Sirius exclaimed. He really enjoyed watching the match!
"Did you know your father was very much into Quidditch?" Remus asked, Harry did not know that. "He played for the Gryffindor team."
"Have you thought of playing for your house team?" Sirius asked.
"Not really." Harry did not give it much thought. Quidditch was more Draco's thing. "I do go to all the matches though, to cheer for Draco mostly."
"Yeah," Remus said "Lily and I used to go to all the matches too to cheer for your father and Sirius."
"You also played?" Harry turned to Sirius.
"Yes!" Sirius said proudly, "I was the best Keeper Gryffindor has ever had."
"Of course you were," Remus rolled his eyes, with a hint of a smile.
After discussing the match, and quidditch generally, over the sandwiches Sirius brought, it was late enough, and the three of them headed to sleep.
Not for long, though.
Sometime past midnight, the three of them woke up to screams from the outside. At first, it sounded to them like crowds still cheering. Soon, however, the screams could no longer be mistaken for cheerful one. The fear and terror in the voices were very clear now.
"Run! Hide!" Remus gave Harry instructions as he and Sirius went out to fight the masked Death Eaters who were terrorizing muggles and muggle borns.
Harry looked outside and saw the herd of Death Eaters making their way towards their tent, so he did as instructed. He left the tent and ran towards the woods. He ran off far enough so that the voices were somewhat muffled and very distant. He stopped to catch his breath.
"Harry?" He heard a voice calling his name.
"Draco?" He recognized that voice.
"Where are you? Harry?" Harry could hear Draco getting closer.
When Draco finally saw Harry, he ran towards him and hugged him very tightly. "Thank God you're okay! I was so worried."
"I'm okay," Harry reassured him, thinking to himself that Lucius Malfoy is probably one of the masked Death Eaters.
Draco was asleep in the Malfoys' tent when he heard the screams too. According to Draco, as a Ministry worker, his father was probably out responding to the situation. He went to look for Harry in their tent, but he found it empty, so he worried.
"Aww you care about me." Harry teased Draco, who simply frowned.
"Of course I do!" Draco said, teased.
"I'm okay," Harry reassured him again, with a slight smile.
"Where are Remus and Sirius?"
"They went to fight off the Death Eat-" Harry started saying, but then noticed something behind him caught Draco's attention. He turned around to see what it was.
It was a green glowing shape in the sky. It reminded Harry of fireworks. It was shaped like a skull, with a snake slithering out of its mouth.
"Oh no…" Draco said.
"Oh no?" Harry turned to Draco. Harry did not know what that sign meant, but whatever it was, it can't be good.
"That's the Dark Mark."
"The Dark Mark?"
"The Dark Lord's symbol," Draco explained. "The mark means someone died."
Harry's eyes widened. What if it's Sirius or Remus?
"We should go there!" Harry said, panicking.
"Are you insane?"
Harry knew Draco was right. He did not care, though. He sprinted towards the mark.
"Harry, wait!" Draco followed him, trying to keep up.
When they got there, they found a bunch of people gathering around something, a poor House Elf, Harry and Draco found out as they got closer. Remus and Sirius were there- alive! As well as some other people, probably Ministry workers, including a man who seemed very mad at Winky- the House Elf. Lucius Malfoy, Harry noted, was not there.
