The match had finished. Ireland won. Everyone was in high spirits and excited. They headed back to the tent and the boys all ran around giddily dancing and singing. Miley sat at the table with Hermione as they laughed at the three Weasley boys. Ron started going on about krum again. Hermione and Miley looked at each other and rolled their eyes. " krum was incredible, he soared like a bird" the twins began to dance around him flapping their hands as-if they were wings while chanting krum in a mocking tone. " he's more than a player, he's an artist" Ron said after George threw his Ireland flag at him.  "I think you're in love Ron" Ginny said teasingly as she made her way to the table with Miley and Hermione. "Shut it" Ron said as he threw the Ireland flag down. Fred pulled Miley up to dance with them as Ron carried on. The boys then began to sing. " victor I love you" George sang throwing himself onto one knee. "Victor I do" Fred said as he too threw himself on one knee while giving Miley a wink. At this point Harry had joined in and the three sang " when we're apart our hearts beat only for you" Everyone began to laugh as the twins got up. They could hear a commotion coming from outside where mr Weasley was stood. He came back into the tent rather quickly. " the Irish sure are celebrating well aren't they" Fred said while putting his arms around Miley's neck. " stop. stop. It's not the Irish. We have to get out of here. Now!" Mr Weasley said fear seeping from his voice. Fred let go and everyone made their ways out the tent in a panic.

They did not expect what they saw. Tents around them were in flames. Families and friends were running for their lives screaming in fear. Miley felt overwhelmed by the sight. Men in black cloaks and masks seemed to be walking around tormenting innocent people. Miley's eyes were wide with fear. " everyone find safety. Fred. George. Ginny is your responsibility. Go now" he shouted ushering them to leave. Miley felt Fred's hand grab hers. She saw George grab ginnys and miley grabbed George's. They stepped over injured people as they ran for their lives. They'd gotten separated from Harry, Ron and Hermione. Miley tried to turn back but the twins pulled her along with them. They found refuge in the forest where others were hiding . They found a quiet spot to hide in. Miley tried to run back but Fred stopped her. She was so worried for my brother I couldn't think straight. She was sobbing hitting Fred's chest " let me go Fred. I need to save him. I need to save him" she screamed. He pulled me into a hug and threw himself onto the ground dragging her with him. She put my arms around his neck and sobbed. He brushed his fingers through her hair while softly swaying her to try and help her calm down. "Shhhh it's ok, he'll be ok" he whispered as she sobbed. Ginny and George just stood watching unsure of what to do. They stayed like that until Miley heard a voice. Hermione's voice. Shouting her brother's name. Then she heard Ron's. They seemed to be getting closer until they appeared through the dark. "Where's Harry?" Miley said slightly muffled under Fred. He loosened his grip so she could face Hermione. Her face was plastered with fear " he couldn't help it he fell, I tried to run back but people kept pushing" she started tears forming in her eyes " we need to find him" Miley said starting to get up trembling as she did. Fred helped her up and held her hand. " Ron stay with Ginny and George till we get back. Miley, Hermione and I will get Harry" he said before ushering Hermione to show the two where she last saw Harry.

They walked back to the site that a mere few hours ago was a happy and lively place. Now it was covered in burnt materials, lost items and there was nobody to be seen apart from a few unfortunate people who'd been knocked unconscious.  Seeing the site like this only made Miley's fear the worst. She trembled as she walked examining all the people on the floor hoping she wouldn't find her brother. Fred and Hermione shouted Harry's name until they finally saw him. He stood with his back to them but Miley knew it was him she recognised his clothes. "Harry" Hermione shouted pulling his attention away from what he was looking at. As he began to turn around Miley ran to him and pulled him into her embrace. He hugged her back. She could tell he was scared but he was always too proud to admit it when he was. " are you ok?" He asked as he hugged me. " am I ok! Harry your stood around unconscious bodies and your asking if I'm ok. Are you hurt?" She ask starting to examine her brothers clothes. " I'm fine really" he said. Miley let go allowing Hermione to hug him, stumbling back into Fred who grabbed her waist to reassure her she was safe. They looked up to see a mark in the sky. It was that of a skull. The sight of it made Miley tremble. Whatever it was it can't be good news.
