Hagrid swore loudly as his wand backfired within its pink umbrella disguise. He was too slow to dodge the spell, and he felt nausea as his surroundings blurred.

A storm gathered over the forest, and the man walking through frowned. It looked like the sky was turning purple as the clouds grew thicker, and the air was virtually crackling with the feeling of the oncoming bad weather. He began to run, his thoughts upon warning the others as he realised how bad the storm might become. He saw one of his comrades as he hared out of the woods, calling them with a shout. Turning, the other man recognised him, but before he could greet him the first man grabbed him.
