Change the Future

GOF 6

Raucous singing was borne toward us on the night air as we retraced our steps along the lantern-lit path, and leprechauns kept shooting over their heads, cackling and waving their lanterns. When they finally reached the tents, nobody felt like sleeping at all, and given the level of noise around them, Mr. Weasley agreed that they could all have one last cup of cocoa together before turning in. Everyone was soon arguing enjoyably about the match; Mr. Weasley got drawn into a disagreement about cobbing with Charlie, and it was only when Ginny fell asleep right at the tiny table and spilled hot chocolate all over the floor that Mr. Weasley called a halt to the verbal replays and insisted that everyone go to bed.

"Aww bless you Ginny" Rory said smirking at her. Ginny just rolled her eyes and smiled back happy to see Rory happy.

Rory, Hermione and Ginny went into the next tent. As Hermione and Ginny got changed and in bed Rory grabbed one of the sleeping potions deciding whether to take it or not. She didn't, placing it back in her bag and grabbing a book out instead.

"Why didn't you take the potion" Lily asks, looking at her daughter.

"The thought of being in such an open place that I didn't know"

A little while later Charlie came running in our tent.

"Charlie what's wrong"

"Nova help me wake them quickly it's urgent" He moved to Ginny whilst Rory woke Hermione.

"Whats going on" Hermione said opening her eyes.

"Come on get up it's urgent grab a jacket and get outside - quickly!" Charlie grabbed Rory's hand pulling her outside. Some floating people were suddenly illuminated as they passed over a burning tent it looked like a family there was a man, woman and children. One of the marchers below flipped the woman upside down with his wand; her nightdress fell down to reveal voluminous drawers and she struggled to cover herself up as the crowd below her screeched and hooted with glee.

"Oh my" Molly said shocked.

"That's sick" Sirius said looking at the screen in disgust.

Charlie held Rory's hand tightly pulling her closer to him

"Look at how protective he is of her" Marlene said smiling slightly.

"He's very protective of her and they weren't even together at this point" Ron told her.

"That's sick," Ron muttered, watching the smallest Muggle child, who had begun to spin like a top, sixty feet above the ground, his head flopping limply from side to side. "That is really sick" Hermione and Ginny came hurrying toward them, pulling coats over their nightdresses, with Mr. Weasley right behind them. At the same moment, Bill and Percy emerged from the boys' tent, fully dressed, with their sleeves rolled up and their wands out.

"We're going to help the Ministry!" Mr. Weasley shouted over all the noise, rolling up his own sleeves. "You lot - get into the woods, and stick together. I'll come and fetch you when we've sorted this out!" Bill and Percy were already sprinting away toward the oncoming marchers; Mr. Weasley tore after them. Charlie turned to Rory quickly.

"You need to hide don't try to help. If they find out about you you'll be in danger. Don't use your powers unless you really have to Nova"

"But I can help Charlie"

"No Nova I need you safe please just go" He said before running to help. Ministry wizards were dashing from every direction toward the source of the trouble. The crowd beneath the family was coming ever closer.
