The Dark Mark

"Get back to the port key and stick together! Fred, George! Ginny is your responsibility" The twins took Ginny and ran away towards a hill. I have to find dad, Fleur and Gabrielle. They were with one of the death eaters, Lucius Malfoy and my mother.. Isn't who she was. From the distance I saw groups of people wearing a silver mask throwing spells everywhere causing fire.

"HARRY!" Hermione called out. Harry quickly grabbed my hand and ran towards her pulling me with him. Hermione quickly ran to Ron who held her close taking her with him back towards the hill where I assumed is the port key. The crowd was pushing and squeezing in between us separating Harry and I from Hermione and Ron. I was getting pushed around by random people desperately trying to leave.

"Evelyn!" Harry called out as I got pushed away by the crowd our hands letting go of each other.

"Harry!" I called out pushing against the crowd trying to get back to him but it was no use, I lost him quickly in the crowd. Tents caught on fire and screams were everywhere when I felt a hand grab my arm.

"Cedric!" I turned around to face him. He pulled me close wrapping his arm around my shoulders and ran through the crowd back to the portkey with the Weasleys.

"Evelyn, where's Harry?" Hermione asked with Ron's arm around her.

"I don't know Hermione" I looked back to realize Cedric's arm was still around me. He looked down at me and gave me a quick smile. His face was chiseled, it was perfect. There's no wonder why girls would melt at the sight of him. I smiled back looking away and back at Hermione who raised her eyebrows.

"Let's go find him" I said slowly pulling myself away and back towards the fields of tents.

"HARRY!" Ron called out as we stepped into the field. All the tents were burned down and it was just plain dark. Furnitures were thrown on the floor all broken and it was empty. Dad, I can only hope he's safe. From a distance I saw a boy staring at something frightened.

"HARRY!" I called out running towards the boy as Hermione and Ron followed.

"We've been worried sick about you!" Hermione grabbed onto his arm.

"What is that?" He asked looking at a green skull with a snake coming out of it's mouth in the sky. He grabbed his forehead whimpering and I quickly wrapped my arm around his waist.

"STUPEFY!" A bright red light shot at us from all directions. We quickly all ducked having the spell fly above us. They kept on firing as Hermione and I let out a scream, Harry held me close.

"STOP! THAT'S MY SON!" Mr. Weasley came running pushing away one of the man who was casting the spell at us. I looked up at him and behind him was my dad who looked at me and sighed in relief. The ministry really attacked me. I got up and glared at one of the man who flinched realizing who I am.

"Ron, Harry, Hermione, Evelyn are you all alright?" Mr. Weasley came rushing at us with my dad.

"Which of you did it" Barty Crouch came pointing his wand at everyone, even including me. He was the head of the department of international magical cooperation. My dad was also a head of the another department, I deserved respect.

"Lower your wand sir" I demanded.

"You've been discovered in the scene of a crime!" He didn't listen and kept pointing his wand at the four of us.

"a crime?" Harry asked confused.

"Barty, you heard my daughter, lower your wand. They're just kids" My dad said in a serious tone.

"What crime?"

"It's the dark mark Harry it's HIS mark" Hermione whispered in his ear.

"Voldemort... Those people tonight, in the masks, they're his people too aren't they? His followers"

"Death Eaters" My dad said looking at me in the eye.

"Follow me" Crouch ordered his men finally lowering his damn wand.

"There was a man before- uh, over there!" Harry pointed towards one of the burnt down tents. My dad put his shoulder around me as Crouch and his men walked away.

"Arthur, please do me a favor and take care of Evelyn for me tonight" He said with his arms still around my shoulder as Mr. Weasley nodded.

"Dad, where's Gabrielle and Fleur? And what about our mother" I turned around to face him.

"I'll be taking Fleur and Gabrielle to the Leaky Cauldron. They'll stay there and join the rest of the Beauxbatons girls once they arrive.. I'll be at home with Apolline, she's furious. I'll deliver your stuff through floo powder" I nodded understandingly.

"Be safe dad" I whispered giving him a hug. His hug was so warm, something I've craved. A hug from a loving parent. He ran away following Crouch and I couldn't help but cry a little. He would have to spend a year alone with my mother who's a supporter of HIM and possibly even a death eater. I'm terrified and worried about him. Harry pulled me around and turned me towards him pulling me close and hugged me. I cried into his shoulder hugging him back tight.
