"There's no one like Krum!" Ron exclaims as they all enter back into their tents. Hermione and Ginny were talking to themselves as they laughed together and Harry put his arm around Adelaide's shoulder.

"I think you're in love, Ron," Ginny snickered. Ron's face turns red and everyone laughs. "Viktor I love you!" the twins sang together.

Mr. Weasley then suddenly entered the tent frantically. "We've gotta get out of here now! Everyone get up! NOW!" Screams and running were able to be heard outside the tent.

Everyone immediately got up from their spots. "What's the matter?" Fred asked. "There's no time to explain! Quickly hurry and get outside!" They all did as they were told and hurried out of the tent.

Adelaide looked around. There were people running around everywhere. There was fire burning all the tents. There were screams and yelling all around.

"Everybody, stick together and get back to the portkey. Fred, George, Ginny is your responsibility," Mr. Weasley said as they all hurried out through the crowd. Harry grabbed Adelaide's hand so she wouldn't be left behind in the panicked crowd.

"Harry," Adelaide said to him, "who are they?" Adelaide pointed with her head to some figures in black pointed hoods carrying flaming torches across the campsite.

They were all moving together and chanting some ominous noises. Harry stopped moving and squinted his eyes towards the black figures. Harry looked around and saw other wizards who were laughing at the struggling bodies they held in the air.

Adelaide pulled Harry's sleeve with her other hand. "Harry. We need to go now." Harry looked at her and nodded, but when he turned back around to follow Mr. Weasley and the rest, they were gone.

"Crap," Harry muttered under his breath. "We need to hide." "Hide?! Hide where?!" Adelaide exclaimed.

A few kids ran in between them, breaking their hands apart. "Adelaide!" Harry yelled out.

Adelaide's eyes widened and her heartbeat quickened. No matter how she tried to get through the crowd, the distance between her and Harry grew. She started to breathe heavily as she looked around and thought of what to do, but her mind was blank.

Her arm was then pulled from the crowd. "Harry?"

She couldn't see who had her arm due to the fire and the crowd around her. Their grip on her arm tightened. In the distance she saw the woods. She pursed her lips, knowing that she'd be alright now. Her heartbeat was slowly calming down. They reached the woods, when she was then softly thrown against a tree.

"Why the bloody hell were you just standing there?!"

"Draco.." Adelaide softly said as she finally saw who had saved her.

"Where the hell was Potter?! How could he leave you alone like that?!" Draco yelled out furiously, with his back facing Adelaide. "We got separated by the crowd," Adelaide replied.

Draco breathed heavily and then finally looked at Adelaide with worried eyes. He then pulled her into a hug.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" he quietly said against her head. Adelaide felt herself stop breathing at the sudden gesture from Draco Malfoy.

"I-.. No, I'm fine," she softly said as she slowly wrapped her arms around Draco, hugging him back. Adelaide breathed in the scent of his cologne and felt herself relax in his arms. Draco sighed in relief and hugged her tighter, moving a hand, placing it behind her head, pulling her closer. "You would've been killed if they found you."

"Do you know who they are?"

Draco said nothing and released her. He leaned against the tree across from her, with arms folded, watching the scene from a gap through the trees. Adelaide stared at him as the light of the fire reflected off of him.
