The time finally came, it was midnight, and in Grimmauld Place, even the people who were a bit grumpy about Harry and Hermione dating were still cheerfully celebrating. They were celebrating as if this were their last day on earth, Harry and Hermione were kissing and drinking, or at least these two versions were doing it.

Meanwhile, on Diagon Alley, people were celebrating too. There were lots of people who didn’t want to spend Christmas alone, and there were also those who brought their families to celebrate here. There were games, food, and Celestina Warbeck’s Granddaughter was going to give a free concert covering her grandma’s most famous works.

Yes, the night was going to be special, and this was the perfect opportunity to cause chaos too because you don’t know who’s going to attend, and you know there’s no way to distinguish between good and bad people amongst this huge crowd, so, the death eaters were already preparing to have fun too.

“Merry Christmas, everyone,” A woman in a silver dress said, and soon, many people started to cheer for her. “My name is Skyla Warbeck, and tonight I’m going to perform my first original song, and I think it’s fitting for this occasion, the song is called “The best gift is you",” the applauses were so loud, people had clearly been looking forward to this concert.

The singer had a huge weight on her shoulders. Celestina was the most famous singer in the history not only of the country but also in the magical world, and she holds the record of having her debut album spend a thousand days on number one of the firebolt charts.

Meanwhile, this was the signal the Death Eaters were waiting for while they were hiding amongst the masses. Meanwhile, on top of a rooftop, there were two young people, a green-haired girl and a brown-haired boy.

“Harry, do you think they’re really going to come?” Asked the girl with a concerned expression.

“Yes, Mione, I have no doubt about it…This is the perfect place to do an unexpected attack, also, we need to take into account that during Christmas, our magical power increases,” Harry answered with a calm tone.

“I just wish we could do more, you know?” Hermione said sadly.

“Me too, love, but the moment we hear a killing curse or one of the other unforgivables, we’re going to act, I just hope not many deaths happen before we act,” Harry said before sighing.

Soon they teleported closer to the crowd, and then the music started, it was a combination of disco and rock, or at least that’s the way Hermione could describe the music because Harry didn’t know much about music.

“Avada!” Harry and Hermione’s eyes widened as they heard someone yelling those words.

However, before they could act, the man who said that was suddenly disarmed, and soon, a bunch of Aurors appeared instantly; it was like they were waiting or they had some kind of way to know who was going to say that.

“I got him!” It was Kingsley.

“What the…How did he get there so fast? Wasn’t he supposed to be at the party?” Asked Hermione to her boyfriend.

“Let’s see how this develops,” Harry whispered to his girlfriend, who calmly nodded.

The music was silenced as soon as the Aurors appeared, and people were surprised by this, but then, they were more surprised to see a lot of wizards and witches being captured, all of them were young, they looked to be recent graduates from Hogwarts.

“Let’s see what’s going on,” Hermione suggested, and soon, they moved closer to the Aurors who were holding ten young adults.

“Please, don’t get any closer,” a random Auror said to Harry and Hermione.

“Sorry, sir, we just wanted to see what’s going on, you see, me my girlfriend and I would like to become Aurors someday,” Harry lied, and Hermione nodded.

“It’s okay, Miller. I’m sorry, guys, but this is not a place for you two to be, you see, these people tried to create chaos and wanted to harm the people attending the concert,” Amelia said with a weak smile.

Harry and Hermione nodded, and soon, their suspicions were confirmed. The moment the arms of the culprits were exposed, and it turned out that they were marked Death Eaters, this only meant one thing: Voldemort was getting desperate enough to hire recent graduates.

Harry whispered something to Hermione, and she nodded.

“I’m sorry for bothering you, Auror Bones and—” Harry couldn’t continue because he soon started to teleport around the place, and it didn't take too long for him to attack the Death Eaters, Hermione did the same.

This caused the Aurors to be surprised, but they couldn’t let these two go because soon, the Aurors realized they were dealing with the magic thieves.

“Ten, let’s go, love!” Harry said after finishing their job.

“No, you don’t!” Tonks said, and soon, she shot a spell that neither Harry nor Hermione knew what it did.

The thing was shot straight towards Hermione, Harry knew she was going to dodge it, so, there was only one thing he could do, he teleported in front of her and took the hit for her.

This caused him to get blasted against a wall, and this caused panic amongst the public, and soon, people screamed and moved around, panicked.

“No!” Hermione said with her eyes wide open, and soon, she was already on the floor trying to save Harry, who was actually still alive.

However, their small meeting was ruined because soon, the Aurors disarmed them, and now they were surrounding Harry and Hermione as their wands lay on their ground.

“Well, it seems like we finally have you,” Amelia said with a smirk as she stood in front of Harry, who was barely able to get on his feet.

He was in complete pain, and it didn’t take too long for him to start spitting blood.

“Is this finally over?” Harry asked himself with a defeated tone.

“What do we do with them, boss?” Asked Tonks with a worried expression.

“Arrest them and take them to the ministry. I’m going to have a private chat with them,” Amelia’s tone made Harry and Hermione gulp.

“Put your hands where we can see them!” Both of them were ordered.

This was bad, there was no way they could be able to escape from this, the secret was going to come out and soon, the world was going to know who has been behind the attacks, and the worst thing is that they couldn’t defeat their main enemy, Voldemort was still there and they were going to get a ticket to Azkaban each.

“This is your fault!” Hermione suddenly said, and soon, she attacked Harry and started hitting his chest.

The Aurors started to laugh, it was clear they were desperate, Amelia was just watching the scene with annoyance, not at the couple, but at her men and women, this was no time to have fun.

“What are you doing, you idiots?! Separate and arrest them!” Ordered Amelia to her team with an annoyed tone.

“Come, let’s get this over with!” Tonks said before sighing.

The metamorph put her wand in her pocket, she felt confident because the rest of her coworkers had wands too, so, she felt safe walking towards the magic thieves without it. She then got close to the couple; the female was on top of the male, and they were practically rolling around the ground.

“Okay, guys, let’s—” Tonks had an annoyed tone.

However, her eyes suddenly widened once she realized that during the commotion, the female managed to pick up both wands.

“No!” Tonks screamed as she tried to get her wand out of her pockets.

But it was too late because suddenly, the magic thieves were gone, leaving no trace of their existence, and to say that the mood was ruined would be an understatement.
