The mysterious one

Chapter Four

               The next morning Raina was startled from a deep sleep by what sounded like a herd of elephants. After listening intently for a minute she relaxed back into her spot beside Charlie and giggled softly. Thank goodness her and Charlie were of age and were going to apparate onto the field closer to the time of the match. It was WAY too early to be awake, and judging by the grumbles of the people downstairs they agree with her. So she quickly snuggled back into Charlie's strong and warm arms, slightly amused that he hadn't even stirred with all the commotion.

               Later, at a much more appropriate hour, Charlie and Raina both woke up. After a little while of cuddling and sharing a few sweet and loving kisses they finally forced themselves to get up and get ready for the day. Their bags for the Quidditch world cup were already packed and waiting. So they went downstairs and ate breakfast with Molly. After a fun filled afternoon of just relaxing and enjoying themselves they hugged Molly goodbye and went to grab their bags. Molly followed after them telling them to be careful and have fun. They assured her that they would and waved goodbye before apparating away.

                         They landed right in their box and noticed they were the first ones from their family there. So they sat in their seats and waited for the rest of their group to arrive. When they did arrive everyone's face was red from exertion and they were all panting. Raina felt bad for them and immediately summoned water bottles from her rucksack that she'd put an undetectable extension charm on. Then she handed them out to everyone. They all murmured their thanks and quickly guzzled the water. The game was fun and all the Weasleys were completely absorbed in it. The Irish won but Bulgaria caught the snitch.

               Everyone was in high spirits back in the tent after the game. Raina, Charlie, Bill, and Percy sat in the corner talking and drinking butterbeer, while the younger kids were goofing around having fun. Mr. Weasly was helping those from the ministry who were on duty. Suddenly loud shouting pierced the air causing Raina to jump a little. Then Fred said that the Irish must be celebrating. Just as he said that though  Mr. Weasly  burst into the tent with a panicked and strained expression on his face. Quick everyone get up, it's not the Irish. Get to the port key and stick together! Fred, George, Ginny is your responsibility!
                    The older group quickly followed Mr. Weasley with their wands raised. When they got outside the tent  they were stunned by the chaos unfolding. Everyone was screaming and running. They set their faces determinedly and followed Mr. Weasley to where the majority of the screaming originated from. Charlie reached down and swiftly squeezed Rain's hand as they ran. The sight before them was horrible, there was a group of black cloaked figures tormenting a family of muggles that lived nearby. They had them levitating in the air and kept twirling them around and around. There was a man, a woman in a night dress and two small children sobbing. The group of Weasley's separated and started aiming spells at the death eaters. A spell whizzed by Charlie's head and he ducked just in time. Raina looked up from her dueling just in time to see a new death eater join the fray and point his wand at the youngest child.

                   In an instant Raina was in front of the child with her own wand raised in defense. Before she could utter a sound she felt an intense pain radiating up and down her arm from the tips of her fingers to her shoulder blade. She  felt warm sticky liquid coat her arm but knew she couldn't even look at it. Then it would become real and slow down her responses. So she ignored the pain and raised her arm back up as fast as she could. Then she cast spell after spell at the death eaters until her arm finally fell back to her side unable to stay raised any longer. She cradled her arm protectively to her chest and switched her wand to her other hand and fought the best she could. All of a sudden the sky lit up and everyone looked up at the same time. Even the death eaters looked afraid as they noticed that the dark mark had been cast in the sky. They all quickly fled and the ministry employees all made their way to the spot where the person had cast it from. All of them yelled stupify at the same time. Mr. Weasley, who had been standing off to the side helping Charlie support Raina, who was rather beat up, pushed his way roughly passed the other  ministry employees. Stop it that's my son! That's when the others realized that the accused people were Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

                   Rain ,who was barely conscious ,leaning heavily against her husband's chest , did a face palm. Of course those three would somehow end up in the middle of things. Listening to Barty Crouch hold a wand on the three, Raina rolled her eyes, oh for the love of Quidditch ! You really think the boy who lived and his friends made the mark? But who did then?! Mr. Crouch angrily questioned. Harry quickly said There was a man , there. Then Crouch commanded the others to follow him and they did, while the Weasley family stayed behind. A man Harry, who? I dunno Harry replied while rubbing his scar and staring up at the sky.

              Will you be alright til we get back to the burrow, love? Charlie asked with deep concern. His  Rai-Rai was covered in blood and barely staying awake. I'll make it Char she whispered back quietly but we'll need to do side along I can't focus. Alright baby, hold on tight to me. Charlie then grabbed Raina's hand firmly in his as his family grabbed their port key. Once their family was gone, Charlie apparated him and his wife back to the burrow. There they found Molly in tears, fussing over her family. When she saw Charlie and Raina she gasped and ran over to them. Oh dear, oh dear. What happened to you? Molly asked as she helped her son lead his wife to the couch. Fight with death eaters Charlie answered shortly. The jerk went to hex a little kid. Raina jumped in front of him but didn't have time to protect herself. Molly gently patted the pale girl on the cheek and briskly went about patching her up.
