Oblivious

Chapter One

      Veronica sat there, laughing, as she watched Ron climb on a table, while Fred and George circled him, using their Irish flags as capes. But she managed to sing with them, although it was hard when she was laughing.

      "There's no one like Krum!" Ron said, while the twins and her continued to sing his name in a rather harsh way. Basically, they were yelling his name, rather than singing. "He's like a bird, the way he rides the wind!" Ron continued "He's more than an athlete."

      He paused slightly as one of the twins then covered him with his Irish flag. Ron got the flag off of him and then said "He's an artist!" "I think you're in love, Ron." Ginny said, to which Ron responded "Oh shut up." That made Veronica laugh even harder.

      "I think that I love you," Fred began, taking Rons hand and getting him off the table, while George continued "I think that I do." "When we're apart, my heart beats only for you!" Harry and Veronica then joined in. Veronica gave her best to calm down, this was the most fun she'd had in ages.

      Outside their tent, people startet screaming and yelling. "Wow, seems like the Irish people got their proud hanging out." George said. Veronica watched as Mr Weasley went to take a look out the tent to check what was going on outside, only to come running back to them.

      "Stop! Stop it! Thats not the Irish out there." Mr Weasley said, grabbing Freds arm, then walking over to Ginny and laying a hand on her arm, continuing "We have to get away from here, now!" With that, everyone's good mood faded and they startet to get serious. Veronica got up and quickly headed out, taking a look around.

      People were running around, screaming as they did. Half of the camp was set on fire and the fire was spreading very quickly. In the distance, Veronica could see a group of people dressed in black heading their way, torches in their hands, setting everything on fire.

      The rest of the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione also ran out and watched the scenery. "Get back to the port key and stick together!" Mr Weasley yelled over the screaming. He turned to Fred and George, shouting "Fred, George, Ginny is your responsibility. Now go!" The twins nodded and took Ginny, starting to run off. Hermione and Ron also ran off, together with Harry, while Veronica just stood there, watching in slight horror.

      She was pushed back by a few of the people running around, but she didn't really care about that. It took her a while to get back to reality, but by then, those people in the black capes were already really close to her, only about ten metres away. Slowly Veronica started to get back to life.

      She turned around and started to run as fast as she could, but she didn't get far, as a spell hit her back, making her legs get stiff and making her fall. She hissed slightly as she hit the ground and tried to reach for her wand, but instead she got hit by another spell, making her fall unconscious.

      Fred looked around, searching for Veronica, as well as Harry and his father. He, George, Ginny, Hermione and Ron were at the port key, but were waiting for Veronica, Harry and Mr Weasley. They knew that Mr Weasley would probably take a while, since he was with the ministry, but Harry and Veronica should've found their way to them by now.

      "Shouldn't somebody go and search for them?" Fred asked, a hint of worry in his voice. He looked around, searching for their familiar faces, but mostly for Veronicas. "Don't worry Freddie, they'll get to us soon." George said. Fred nodded, but he didn't really believe the words his brother spoke.

      Fred was very worried for Veronica. He really liked her, that was obvious to George. He noticed the way his twin would look at Veronica every so often. Probably everybody saw that. Probably everybody but themselves.
