Dark Mark Scene - Story

All of a sudden, the Irish cheering stopped and screams could be heard echoing around the tents. Before Alfie knew it, he heard Mr Weasley shout "Get a coat and run, we'll fend them off". Alfie, Hermione and Ginny sprinted out of the tents and into the forest, and before he knew it, him and Hermione were alone. ' Lumos' , they both whispered, but no reaction came from the wands. "Oh crap, jammed," Alfie whispered, "Grab my hand." Hermione took it, and they sprinted towards some bushes next to a dark clearing. Everything there was eerie, even the trees seemed to be scared. Alfie then spotted Sam, Ron and Harry in the parallel row of bushes. Suddenly, a black-clad figure holding a long wand jumped out of the bushes and shouted ' MORSMORDRE' . A sign appeared in the air instantly, a skull with a serpents' tongue. Alfie recognised instinctively that this was bad, and apparently Sam had too, as they both drew their wands, aiming at the figure, and shouted 'STUPEFY '. Somehow, though, instead of two rays of light, there were twenty, as 18 Ministry wizards including Arthur Weasley performed the Stunning Spell too. Instantly the figure Disapparated, and the 20 spells hit a hunched figure in a row of bushes. Alfie and Hermione inquisitively rushed out of the bushes, tailed by Sam, Ron and Harry. "Seriously, guys, you need to teach us that some day," Ron said to Alfie and Sam, who were both holding their wands as if ready for another attack. Alfie wanted to say something in response, but for some reason he couldn't get the words out.
