Cobra's bite

After the game was over and the Irish had won. The Weasleys were celebrating in their tent. Fred and George were singing and jumping around while Marian was dancing with them, the hem of her long pastel purple dress floating around her ankles when George swirled her around.

"There's no one like Krum!" Ron said.

"Krum?"

"Dumb Krum." The twins joked and teased their younger brother.

"He's like a bird, the way he rides the wind. He's more than an athlete. He's an artist!"

"I think you're in love, Ron." Ginny teased.

"Shut up."

"Victor, I love you, Victor I do! When we're apart my heart beats only for you!" Marian, the twins and Harry sang together.

"We're just teasing you Ron." Marian patted his shoulder.

Then suddenly shouting was heard from outside.

"Sounds like the Irish have got their pride on." Fred spoke laughing but Marian saw her father's happy expression drop.

"Stop! Stop it!" Arthur ran to his kids. He looked at Fred and spoke sternly. "It's not the Irish. We've gotta get out of here. Now!"

Everyone ran out of the tent and their eyes widened in horror when they saw what was happening. Chaos has broken loose outside. Everything was lit on fire and people were screaming and running around. Desperate to get away.

"Get back to the portkey everybody and stay together!" Arthur shouted. "Fred, George! Ginny is your responsibility!"

Fred pulled his little sister to his side and wrapped his arm around her protectively.

Arthur pulled out his wand and ran. Hermione and Ron had already started running when she noticed that Harry wasn't behind them. "Harry!" Hermione shouted, gaining Harry's attention and he ran to them and started to follow behind them.

Marian ran behind her father for a while, before a group of people ran past her bumping into her making her lose her balance and fall on the ground. She quickly got back up and continued running, trying to find her father who she had just lost from her eyesight.

She glanced at her right and saw at least ten people walking towards her. They all had silvery masks covering their faces and they were dressed into long black robes with torches on their hands.

It can't be.

She quickly ran away and into the woods. She ran and ran while the branches of trees scratched her face and her long dress got stuck in branches on the ground making her have to untangle it before running again.

"Where's Marian?" She could hear George's panic-stricken voice from the distance.

She ran towards the voice and ran on to a small clearing in the woods. She looked around her and on her left she saw her family. George was looking around while Fred was holding Ginny.

"Mary!" George shouted when he finally saw his sister on the other side of the clearing. Marian ran to her brother and hugged him tightly, making him wrap his arms around her too.

"Where were you?" George asked, looking down at his older sister.

"I was running behind dad but I fell and lost him. Is everyone okay?" She asked, running to Fred and Ginny. They nodded.

"Where's Ron, Harry and Hermione?" Ginny asked worriedly.

"I don't know." Marian shook her head. "Let's hope they are with dad."

"Your leg is bleeding." George pointed at the small red spot on her dress.

"It probably came when I fell. I'm okay."

Then a loud bang came from the other side of the forest making everyone flinch and the twins moved to stand in front of their sisters. The sound came from the camping area where they just ran away from.

The Weasley siblings watched how a huge green skull appeared in the sky. A snake slithered out of its mouth.

The dark mark.
