Octavius Pepper had greeted the return and activity of so many Death Eaters over the last few months with annoyance and a certain amount of well hidden fear. The last time they'd been active, he'd been forced into hiding with his family, not something which had made his Gryffindor soul very happy.
So when the call came through to the office of an attack on Hogsmeade, he didn't hesitate. He practically tipped his chair open as he rushed out to the Ministry apparition and a moment later he was in the village. He could smell smoke and hear the frightened screams from the children. He ignored them except to yell at them to get up to the castle and instead looked around for an enemy.
