Harry closed his eyes and waited for the curse to hit him. It never came. Harry opened his eyes to see the masked man lying on the ground bound from head to toe with a rope. Standing over him was one of the men that Harry hated the most, Severus Snape.
Before Harry could say anything, Snape apparated away. Harry stumbled to his feet and picked up his wand before sprinting through the forest again. It didn't take long for him to find a small group of masked men in a circle in a clearing of the forest. In the center of the circle was a hooded man whose face was obscured. He raised his wand and said, "Morsmordre!" in a deep voice.
In the sky, an image of a skull with a snake slithering out of it appeared.
"Hey!" a voice yelled from the surrounding forest. Around 12 wizards appeared from the forest, wands out. One of them cast a no- apparition spell on the forest so none of the masked men could apparate out. Then the wizards went to work.
Harry recognized Mr. Weasley, Mr. Fudge the minister of magic, and even his old defense against the dark arts teacher Remus Lupin! But there were others that Harry didn't recognize, like a tall black man wearing colorful robes, and another one with one leg and one eye.
At one point, Mr. Weasley was taking down one of the masked men when another one of them pointed his wand at his back and was about to utter a curse, most likely avada kedavra.
Harry jumped out of the forest and pointed his wand at the masked man's back. "Stupefy!" Harry cried. The red light struck the man in the back and he fell to the ground.
In a matter of minutes, all the men were subdued and were tied up on the forest floor.
"Undoubtedly they are death eaters" Fudge said as he circled the men on the floor. "It would be a great victory to unmask them all."
Fudge raised his wand and was about to summon the masks what when suddenly, all the men on the floor were swallowed by a dark mass of energy and when the darkness cleared, all the men were gone.
"WHAT?!" Fudge screamed in anger. "Where are they? WHERE ARE THEY?"
The guy with one eye and one leg said, "They're gone, obviously Cornelius. There is no point stomping around and acting like a child."
"Do you understand the gravity of this situation Alastor? We had a large group of death eaters in our hands and we just let them slip away! My reputation will be ruined!" Fudge yelled. "Say nothing of this to anyone." Then he turned around and stomped back in to the forest.
Mr. Weasley turned to Harry. "Harry, my boy. What were you doing in the forest this whole time?"
"I got caught up with some of the men in the forest" Harry answered. "Do you know how this whole thing started?" Mr. Weasley shrugged.
"I guess some of the old death eaters decided to have a little fun before the world cup started" Mr. Weasley said. "I have no doubt that some of the men that were under those masks are ministry officials."
"What I want to know" the tall black man said, "is how they were able to leave. You cast a no- apparition spell around the forest, right Rufus?"
A tall man that looked strangely like a lion, nodded.
"Come on people, this is you know who we're talking about. You really think he doesn;t have other ways of transporting people besides apparition?" the one eyed man named Alastor said.
"Yes but that makes the situation even more scary. He does not even have a body yet and he is able to complete incredible feats like this. What of when he gets a body?" the tall black man said.
