You followed Ginny and Hermione away from the crowd and into the forest.

"Where are we going?" You asked.

"Away from those guys." Hermione panted. You stumbled after the others into a clearing and stopped. You were surrounded by masked men. Well, not surrounded. Behind you were trees. You gripped your wand.

"Get out of here." You hissed at Hermione and Ginny not looking at them.

"What?"

"I said go!" You yelled. "Now!" You looked at them. "Please." They took one last long look at you and ran into the crowd of people on the other side of the trees. You returned your eyes to the men dressed in black cloaks and raised your wand.

"Foolish child." One of them hissed. They all raised their wands at you and panic filled your whole body. You gripped your wand tighter and sweat began to creep down your body. Green lights from all the wizard's wands blasted your way and you ducked. The killing curses missed you by inches. You send every spell that popped into your head before you turned and ran. The giant dirt road was empty. The people who had been fleeing the scene moments earlier must have gone. You ran across the road as fast you could and ran towards the giant quidditch stadium. You glance back to see the wizards chasing you. You felt something grab your ankle and pull you back. You fell to the ground and began to be pulled back by your ankle. You sent spells at the rope but nothing happened. You grabbed a sharp rock and began hacking at the rope. Thankfully, this worked. You jumped up and bolted towards the stadium but wizards appeared and blocked you. You were now completely surrounded. There were less than you saw in the forest clearing.

"Running won't help you little girlie." One of the wizards hissed through his mask.

"I'm not a little girlie." You tried to keep the tremble out of your voice. The wizard's laugh.

"Oh, I think you are." The wizard who had spoken before said. You clutched your wand tighter. "Guess what little girlie, we're gonna kill ya. And I promise it won't hurt." Fear flooded your body as you tried to accept the fact that you were going to die. The wizard's raised their wand's again. "And don't duck this time." Before the wizards could utter 'Avada Kedavra' a blast of fire came out of the forest and hit most of the wizards. The others turned and ran. You looked around and saw someone on the edge of the woods. You stumbled away.

"Please stop. I von't hurt you." The accent was bulgarian. The figure stepped out of the forest. It was Viktor Krum. "Vhat happened here?" He asked.

"The- the wizards in the black cloaks attacked the muggles and burned the tents." You said. "I got separated from my friends and family."

"The vizard's in the black cloak's are called death eaters." Krum said.

"Oh." You said. "Thanks."

"Do you know vhere the people vent?" Krum asked. "The people who vere not death eaters?" You shrugged.

"I-I don't know." You choked out. "I ran into the death eaters and when I got out of the forest everyone was gone." Tears started coming to your eyes. "I'm really worried about my friends and family." Krum did something that surprised you. He gave you a hug. It seemed so... unlike Krum.

"I'm very sorry to hear that." He said when he released you. "Is there anything I can do for you?" Krum asked. You shrugged and shivered from the chill morning wind. "Come." Krum gestured for you to follow him. "I vill help you find your friends and family." You gave a shy smile up at him.

"Thank you."
