Chapter 374 Camp Riot

The 1994 Quidditch World Cup was over, and the Irish team had the last laugh. When the awards ceremony and the celebrations around the field were over, the excited audience left the stadium.

The crowd flowed towards the camp like a tide, and rough singing came from the night sky. Little leprechauns kept flying back and forth above their heads, waving the lanterns in their hands, and laughing.

After finally returning to the tent, everyone's excitement has not passed yet, and they are still discussing everything about the game. Besides, the surroundings were too noisy. People were singing, dancing, and celebrating the Irish team's victory. Even if they wanted to sleep, they couldn't sleep.

It wasn't until Ginny lay down at the table and dozed off that everyone felt sleepy, and at the urging of Mr. Weasley, they all changed into pajamas and prepared to go to bed.

Even lying in bed, I could still hear singing from the other side of the camp. People were still celebrating, not knowing what would happen next.

Just when she seemed to be asleep, Ada, who was lying on the bed, suddenly heard Lupin's voice coming from the entrance of the tent. The former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor said: "Ada, wake up quickly. Something happened outside. Get your hands." The wand!”

Ada immediately turned over and quickly changed into clothes. Hermione and Ginny were still in a daze and didn't understand the situation. Ginny sat on the bed without opening her eyes. She asked vaguely: "What's wrong? Are we going home now?"

Listening carefully, the sounds coming from outside the tent changed indeed. The singing stopped, and the sounds of screams and people running in panic continued to come in. Ada quickly slid out of bed, ran to Ginny's side, grabbed a piece of clothing and wrapped it around the little girl.

"Hermione, you and Ginny hurry up," Ada said, "I'll go out and take a look."

After hearing Ada's instructions, Hermione nodded vigorously. She was hurriedly getting dressed, and her little head full of wisdom had not yet emerged from the jumper.

Running out of the tent, Ada saw Mr. Weasley, Sirius, and Lupin. The three of them were guarding the entrances of the two tents with wands. As far as the eye can see, there are burning bonfires and tents everywhere, and the crowds are rushing towards the woods and away from the campsite in chaos, as if there is some monster chasing them in the camp.

Loud jeers, wild laughter, and drunken shouts replaced the previous celebratory songs, and it took only a few hours to go from revelry to fear.

A group of wizards huddled tightly together, each pointing their wands upward, pushing forward together, moving slowly across the field. Their heads were covered with hoods and their faces were covered with masks.

Above the heads of this group of weirdos, four struggling figures floated in the air, twisted into various weird shapes. They were a Muggle family guarding the camp.

"Death Eaters..." Sirius whispered, "Death Eaters!"

At this time, other people also came out of the tent, and they were all stunned by what they saw.

Hermione and Ginny hurried out, covering their mouths, unable to believe that such atrocities existed in the world; the boys also came out, fully dressed, with their sleeves rolled up and wands in their hands.

"We need to help the ministry maintain order!" Mr. Weasley's voice rose above the noise, while rolling up his sleeves, "You also hurry into the woods, walk together, don't separate. Wait until the matter is resolved I’ll come find you later!”

Before Mr. Weasley could finish speaking, Sirius had already rushed towards the parade, and Lupine glanced helplessly and immediately followed. Bill, Charlie and Percy also gave chase, and Mr. Weasley had no choice but to catch up.

"Go ahead and do what you want!" Fred said, holding Ginny's hand tightly to protect his little sister.

"Go, we are here!" George also said, standing next to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Take care of Ginny and Hermione." Ada nodded. She chose to believe in the twins' abilities, so she ran to the scene of the accident without hesitation.

Take good care of Ginny because she is the youngest, and take good care of Hermione because of her background. Sirius had already revealed the identity of the marchers. They were Death Eaters, and the Muggle-born Hermione might be their target.

"Let's go too," Fred said, pulling Ginny towards the woods. Harry, Ron, Hermione and George followed.

The colorful lights that originally illuminated the way to the stadium have now been extinguished. The light source in the camp comes from tents that are set alight one after another. The fire continues, and the sounds of crying and frightened screams fill the ears.

Soon, Ada caught up with the marching crowd, knocking down several people who wanted to attack her along the way.

The people in the parade were laughing wildly, laughing at the Muggles floating above their heads like puppets, and at the Ministry of Magic staff who surrounded them but did not dare to take action.

The staff of the Ministry of Magic were either blocked by people fleeing in all directions, and finally managed to get close to the parade, but they did not dare to cast spells at will because of the fear of rattling. The other party had hostages in their hands, and the staff were afraid of hurting the Muggle Roberts family and were timid.

As a result, the marchers became even more aggressive. They laughed wildly and set fire to everything they passed, including tents, trees, etc. They will also fire spells at approaching Ministry of Magic staff to prevent them from approaching.

Just when everyone in the Ministry of Magic was at a loss what to do, a huge green shiny thing appeared in the darkness. The thing suddenly cut through the darkness and flew into the air.

Ada looked up and saw that it was a huge skeleton, made up of countless turquoise star-like things, with a large python emerging from the skull's mouth, like a tongue.

The Dark Mark! That's the Dark Mark that belongs to Voldemort! The green, dazzling Dark Mark looks like a new constellation against the dark night sky.

The camp became more chaotic due to the appearance of the Dark Mark, and the fear brought by Voldemort once again surged into his heart. The parade stopped, and like the staff of the Ministry of Magic, they stared blankly at the green skull in the sky...

Then, the parade that had been so arrogant just now suddenly collapsed. Before the staff of the Ministry of Magic could react, many people in the parade had quickly apparated away, and the remaining people also ran away crying. Not as good as the people in the camp just now.

The parade suddenly collapsed, screams and screams could be heard endlessly, and Ada was confused by this scene for a moment.

Isn't this the mark of your old master? What are you running for? Each and every one of them discarded their armor, just like deserters after a defeated battle! What is this, Mr. Ye is a dragon?

But Ada didn't have time to think about it too much. Compared with these useless cowards, the person who cast the Dark Mark was obviously more important. He was a big fish! Ada immediately ran into the darkness, trying to find the person who cast the mark.

On the other side, Harry, Ron, and Hermione got separated from the twins and Ginny because of the crowd.

In the dark woods, they met Draco Malfoy alone, saw the house elf Winky, saw the pale Ludo Bagman, and saw the Dark Mark.

Harry wanted to catch the person who cast the Dark Mark, but what they needed to do most at the moment was to protect themselves.

Just when the three people were about to cross the open space, they took a few steps in a panic when they heard a series of popping sounds, and twenty wizards descended from the sky and surrounded them.

Harry turned around and immediately noticed the fact that the wizards all had their wands out, each pointing at him, Ron, and Hermione.

Without thinking, he quickly shouted: "Hide!" Harry grabbed the other two people and dragged them to the ground.

"Fall down!" Twenty voices roared at the same time, followed by a series of dazzling flashes of light, but Harry did not feel that he was hit, and neither did Ron and Hermione beside him.

Harry raised his head and saw Ada standing in front of the three of him. Her slightly thin figure looked majestic and tall at this night. She was breathing heavily because of anger.

Looking around, half of the twenty wizards who had just surrounded the three of them were already lying on the ground. This was obviously Ada's work!

The remaining ten wizards raised their wands again, and they shouted in unison: "Fall out!"

A stream of burning red light shot out from the wands of these wizards. This time their target was the standing Ada. Maybe they didn't know who their target was.
