Rose and Hugo Weasley were sound asleep in their bedrooms. It was a cool summer night, the kind that are perfect for sleeping. The window in Hugo's bedroom was open; Hugo stirred as he heard a loud bang outside: the sound of somebody apparating. Then there came a rustling sound from the bushes. Hugo became wide awake.

"Rose," he called from across the hallway. Rose did not respond.

"ROSE!" Hugo whisper-shouted. Rose sleepily rubbed her eyes and looked up.

"What, Hugo? Gnomes get into your bed?"

"No, I heard a weird noise outside. And I see--" Hugo paused to look out the window, and gasped at what he saw. "I see a man in a black cloak!"

Rose shook her head. "You're just imagining it. Go back to sleep."

"But, I'm--" Hugo was cut off as the man in the cloak began to climb up the side of the house. He had a knife in his hand. The man worked his way up. Hugo hid under his covers as the man ripped open the window screen with his knife.

"ROSE, THE MAN'S IN THE HOUSE, HE HAS A KNIFE!" Hugo screamed. Rose jumped out of her bed and walked over to Hugo's room. Hugo was shaking, terrified, as the man reached out a long arm and seized him by his pajamas. Hugo was yanked back, letting out a loud scream. Ron and Hermione shot awake at the sound of their child.

"What's going on?" Ron yelled, running out into the hallway.

Rose screamed and raced to get her wand. She knew she was underage, but this was serious. She was about to cast a spell when the man seized her, too.

Hermione came racing out of her and Ron's bedroom, holding her wand. "What's going--NO, MY CHILDREN!" Hermione wailed as the man stunned them and apparated without a word.
Ron and Hermione looked at each other in terror. This could not be happening.
