HP: Supreme Potion Collector [Original Female Protagonist]

#Arthur Weasley: "We must help the Ministry maintain order!"

Mr. Weasley's voice rose above the chaos. Bill, Charlie, and Percy ran toward the approaching parade, with Mr. Weasley quickly following. Orli could see Ministry officials rushing from all directions toward the site of the disturbance.

#Fred: "Let's go."

Fred said, grabbing Ginny's hand and pulling her toward the woods. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and George followed close behind. Orli, cloaked in concealment, silently trailed them.

The woods were filled with shadowy figures stumbling around, children crying, and the anxious shouts and murmurs of people echoing through the cold night air. A few times, Orli narrowly avoided being bumped into or discovered, but she managed to find temporary refuge behind a large tree. It was around this time that Draco Malfoy intercepted Harry, Ron, and Hermione, while Fred and George disappeared into the darkness with Ginny.

It must be happening now... Orli's heartbeat quickened.

Suddenly, a rustling sound emerged from the nearby bushes. A house-elf was struggling to push her way out of the undergrowth. Her voice, sharper than Dobby's, pierced the air. She was draped in a tea towel, suggesting she was female. Her movements were jerky and strained, as if an invisible force was pulling her back.

#Dobby: "Winky!"

Dobby's faint voice reached Orli's ears.

#Winky: "Bad wizards everywhere!"

Winky cried out in a panic, straining forward as she gasped and screamed. She wrestled against the unseen force restraining her before disappearing into the bushes on the other side of the path.

Orli knew Winky was pretending. She wasn't afraid of the "bad wizards"; she was trying to drag Barty Crouch Jr., who was cloaked in an Invisibility Cloak, away.

#Ron: "What's wrong with her?"

Ron asked, watching Winky's retreating figure curiously.

#Ron: "Why can't she run properly?"

#Harry: "I reckon she ran off without her master's permission."

Harry replied.

#Harry: "Remember Dobby? Whenever he tried to defy the Malfoys' orders, he'd always punish himself first."

Dobby seemed thrilled by Harry's sudden mention of him. Orli felt the air around her tremble slightly.

#Hermione: "You know, house-elves are treated so unfairly!"

Hermione exclaimed indignantly.

#Hermione: "They're complete slaves! Just now, Mr. Crouch forced her to climb to the top of the stadium. She was terrified, and then Mr. Crouch used magic on her, so when people started trampling the tents, she couldn't escape! Why doesn't anyone stand up against this?"

#Ron: "I say, house-elves are happy, aren't they?"

Ron said.

#Ron: "Did you hear what Winky said during the match? She likes being ordered around..."

#Hermione: "It's people like you, Ron,"

Hermione snapped angrily.

#Hermione: "who perpetuate this outdated and unjust system..."

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted from the edge of the woods, reverberating through the night sky. It sounded like a bomb had gone off, and a green light instantly illuminated the surrounding trees.

Seizing the moment, Orli turned away from Harry and the others, silently pursuing the direction Winky had fled.

Notes:

Harry's Invisibility Cloak is one of the Deathly Hallows, singular in its kind. However, other Invisibility Cloaks exist, crafted from materials like Demiguise hair. These cloaks can be penetrated by certain detection spells and are prohibitively expensive, which is why few wizards own such "lower-tier" cloaks. Barty Crouch Jr. was wearing one of these cloaks while watching the match in the top box.
