Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as I broke away from Sirius and Remus I started to make my way through the tents, using my agility and dexterity to dodge the panicked witches and wizards.
I really wanted to look for some Death Eaters right away, but I was worried about Luna and my other friends, so I scurried off looking for them.
I knew where most of them were, and when I passed in front of their tents I didn't feel anyone, which meant they had already escaped, which was a relief.
Walking a little further I could find other of my friends fleeing with their relatives, and seeing that the diners were nowhere near them I nodded, before heading to the last stall I needed to check.
Passing some panicked people and more empty tents I finally arrived in front of the Lovegoods' tent, finding Luna helping her father to put some items in a chest.
"Luna!" I called her, approaching her.
"Ethan?" the blonde girl turned to me, somewhat surprised, "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I came to see if you were okay," I replied, looking her up and down for any injuries or anything.
Hearing my answer, Luna stared at me for a few seconds.
"Did you come all this way...just to see...if I'm okay?" she asked, in a tone of voice I couldn't decipher.
"Of course" I said, before looking at her strangely to see that she was still staring at me, "Are you really okay?" I asked again.
And with a happy look Luna then started to smile in a way that made me feel weird.
"I'm fine…actually, I'm feeling great," she said, looking at me with her head tilted.
"Oh, well...that's good," I said awkwardly.
'Luna's emotions have always been confused, but now I really can't understand her' I thought, but even so I was relieved.
"Luna dear, are you finished putting away the haunted cleaners yet?" a voice came from inside the tent, and in the next second a man with long dirty blond hair wearing strange clothes came out of the tent, with a small box under his right arm.
"Huh? Oh yeah. I'm done" Luna replied without taking her eyes off me.
And her father, Xenophilius, looked at his daughter in confusion before noticing my presence.
And for the second time that day I got the famous stare from an overprotective parent, something that might not be considered much but is still weird nonetheless.
"Hmm, you're Ethan, right?" Mr. Lovegood asked me.
"Yes sir" I replied.
And with that Mr. Lovegood looked me up and down before nodding.
"Luna dear, I'll put away the roasted willow sap and then we'll go, all right?" he said, looking back at his daughter.
"Yes dad" she replied, and Mr. Lovegood nodded before heading back to the tent, not before giving me one last look.
As soon as he left I looked around, noticing that this part of the camp was almost empty, and using my senses I could feel the magic of the Death Eaters' spells, and noticing that they were a little way from this place I turned to Luna.
"As I saw that you're fine, I'll be on my way" I said starting to turn around to leave, but then I felt Luna holding my arm, and turning to her I saw her worried look... A look which showed that she knew very well what I was about to do.
I don't know how, but Luna was one of the few people who could understand my actions and thoughts so easily.
Smiling slightly I shook my head, before placing my hand on her head.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing" I said, but her grip on my arm only tightened.
Placing my hand on top of her hand that was on my arm, I squeezed lightly.
"I don't promise I won't do something dangerous, but I'll try to stay safe" I said honestly, and after looking into my eyes for a few seconds she nodded, before letting go of my arm.
"Don't hurt yourself…or else the wound-licking mosses will come after you," she said softly, and I nodded.
"Fine, and please be safe," I said, and received a slight smile in return.
And after that I turned around, giving Luna one last nod before continuing to walk, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as I separated from Luna I started running through the tents until I reached a place surrounded by trees, where I canceled the transfiguration on my clothes.
Now feeling more free and prepared, I started to run, at a speed difficult to follow with the naked eye.
And instead of running in the same direction as all the other scared people I started going in the opposite direction, specifically targeting the Death Eaters who were terrorizing everyone.
The closer I got to where I felt the waves of magic, the more I heard screams of fear and pain, with all the bad feelings numbing my senses.
And following those feelings, I arrived in an area with some burnt tents.
Looking forward I could see 2 Death Eaters laughing as they rocked a man back and forth like a tug of war, while a woman and a boy watched as they sat on the floor and hugged each other.
The woman, probably the wife of the man being tortured, was crying, asking them to stop as she hugged her son, preventing him from seeing his father being thrown around like a rag doll.
And seeing this I felt angry, before taking a deep breath, and using the flames and smoke coming from the tents as cover I circled these two diners, analyzing the situation.
Realizing that they were fully engaged in mocking and torturing the man, I held up my hands, pointing at them.
Then, surprising the two death eaters, the fabric of the burnt tents broke into threads, which advanced towards them, trapping their arms.
"What?" one of the Death Eaters, who was the tallest, asked, looking confused at the wires on his arm.
And when they turned to look back I snapped my fingers, and flames began to climb the wires towards them.
"Argh!"
"Fuck! What the hell?!" they exclaimed, losing their spell concentration and letting go of the man.
And taking advantage of this moment of distraction I advanced, with my hood covering my face.
Coming out from behind a tent I quickly ran towards the smallest Death Eater, and coming in front of him I punched him in the belly.
When he doubled over in pain and out of breath I grabbed his arm, kneeing him in the elbow, ignoring the crack that sounded.
With a cry of pain that same death eater let go of the wand he was holding, and I quickly caught it before it fell to the ground, casting a {Protego} on my back, stopping a potentially lethal spell the other death eater cast on me.
"You damn!" this Death Eater shouted, raising his wand to cast another spell.
Sensing his magical fluctuations and knowing that this wand movement belonged to the cutting spell I pulled the other Death Eater and placed him in front of me like a shield.
And as soon as the spell hit this Death Eater a cut was made in his chest, and I quickly tossed him aside, enjoying the other Death Eater's startled and panicked look.
'{Bombarda}' I threw on the ground in front of me, causing a lot of earth and dirt to rise, covering the view of the other death eater who had to protect his face.
'That won't work on me' this Death Eater thought, waving his wand and dispersing the dirt, clearing his vision, however the only thing he saw was the family of three who were together with a scared look and his companion bleeding on the floor.
'Huh... Where is he?' he wondered, but then when he felt something approaching him from behind it was too late.
"Have a nice trip to hell," I said in an emotionless voice, pointing the wand I'd taken from his partner at his neck.
"{Sectumsempra}" and with that I swiped my wand across his neck, causing a big deep cut that started to spurt blood.
And not caring about this Death Eater I released him, leaving him to choke on his blood as I walked calmly over to his partner, who was trying to crawl away.
"Please... help me..." he begged between his moans of pain.
And without saying anything and totally ignoring his plea I cast a low-powered explosive spell on this Death Eater's head, killing him instantly.
And looking at these two bodies I still had a blank expression, but I could feel that inside I was excited.
I had just killed 2 men who were Death Eaters, one of the worst scum in the wizarding world, and this time, instead of feeling disgust or any bad feelings, I felt joy and satisfaction.
And my joy came from a deep feeling, which unlike the last time I killed, was more animalistic, as if I were enjoying a hunt for my prey.
'I don't have time to think about this' I thought, still hearing screams in the distance.
And with a sigh I turned to the family of three, with the father, who was still suffering from torture, protecting his family, while watching me warily.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you" I said in a muffled voice to hide my identity.
But even with me saying that the man and woman still didn't let their guard down, and I could only sigh.
Shaking my head I cast a spell on the man to ease his pain, and ignoring his startled look or the woman's panicked look I turned away, heading off to find my next prey.
End.
