Mayhem at the ministry part 126

They dropped Luna and Neville off at the Lovegood tent, thankfully both it and Mr Lovegood appeared intact.

Geoffrey was not so lucky. His parents were fine, a little shaken but otherwise alright, however their tent was now a smouldering wreck. They got permission from the security wizards and left the campsite by apparation along with their son.

Natalie's Uncle was alright though, however he was a bit grumpy about not having been able to catch any of the Death Eaters.

"So they were Death Eaters?" Said Ron, once the Weasley group had returned to their tent.

"It seems so." Said Mr Weasley. "I would say they're the Death Eaters who've avoided being sent to Azkaban."

Ron and Ginny's brothers were all already back, Bill, Charlie and Percy had minor bruises and cuts from having helped the Ministry. When they filled them in about what happened at the edge of the forest, Percy looked shocked.

"Crouch's elf was attacked?" Questioned the man's employee. "I wonder who would have the gall to do that."

"I don't know." Said Harry. "But I can't help but wonder who he is. He attacked us and if I didn't know some of the stuff I know, he could have killed all of us."

"You sure it was a he?" Asked Mr Weasley.

"Certainly sounded like one." Reasoned Emma. "Why did he attack us? Did he recognise us or something?"

"Why would whoever it was, want to kill you?" Said Percy in confusion.

"Because he's a Death Eater and we're the Potters." Said Harry.

"Oh." Percy shifted uncomfortably.

"My guess is he recognised me when I called out to him." Said Harry. "Though I didn't know I could be so recognisable."

"Maybe it was Malfoy." Suggested Ron.

"It didn't sound like him." Countered Harry.

"Yeah but think about it, his son was with us just before we chased him off." Said Ron.

"But how would he have gotten his Dad to us so quickly, and what about the House-Elf?" Said Hermione. "No something weird is going on here. I think we were just in the wrong place at the wrong time as the man was passing through the woods, to or from the mob that materialised here."

"Whoever it was is a very dangerous person." Said Harry. "Killing Curses, an Explosion Curse, a Blasting Curse. If someone who can just cast those on a whim managed to avoid Azkaban, then he is a very dangerous man."

"Maybe it was Sirius Black." Suggested Bill.

"It wasn't." Said Emma, suddenly and almost outrageously.

"Are you sure?" Said Mr Weasley. "Black is very dangerous…"

"Not as dangerous as the Ministry like to claim." Said Harry. "Don't forget, we met him. He had many opportunities to kill us, and he didn't. I'm not sure we'll ever see him again, anyway didn't he leave the country?"

"He was spotted in France shortly after you lot encountered him, and he was spotted in Germany about a month later. But we've not had any sightings of him since, he may have snuck back into the country." Said Mr Weasley.
