The Plan
I crept along the shadows. Harry was behind me. I gave him a look of sympathy. If only he knew what came next. I saw Draco leave the mansion. I knew that there was only a couple of newbies and an older one in the house now. I put the hood of my hoodie up and gripped my wand. No one would believe me about anything when this was all over with.
I pushed open the front door and eased in.
"You're just going in like that?" Harry whispered. I turned and looked at him.
"Yeah, so?" I asked in a normal voice. Harry shook his head.
"I'm out," he said, backing away.
"Chicken?" I asked.
"No, I'm not stupid," he said before disappearing into the shadows. I shrugged and walked into the house.
"He's gone," I said to McNair, who shrugged.
"His loss," he said before pushing Ginny Weasley on her knees in front of me. I looked away as he looked Ginny straight in the eyes. "Looks like your little boyfriend didn't want to help you. Guess your only life line was useless.
"You're a sick man, McNair," she said through gritted teeth. "So are you, Flint. You're better than this." I looked at her scared, but bold eyes as McNair laughed.
"Just get it over with," I said, drawing my wand. McNair grinned.
"Gladly," he said, pointing his wand straight at her.
"Hold it!" a boys voice said. I turned to see Aaron standing in the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest. "Why are you killing her? It's not as though she did anything."
"Look, Ice, this is how the game is played, alright? Surely your daddy told you that," Avery said from the door. Aaron shook his head.
"If I was you, I don't think I'd do that," he said. McNair paused and looked at Aaron. I shook my head and pushed my brown, shaggy hair out of my eyes.
"Just let it go, McNair," I said, yanking Ginny by the arm and pushing her to Aaron, whom I semi trusted.
"What the hell, Flint?" McNair shouted. I ducked as he swung and ran towards Aaron and Ginny, pushing them out the door.
"Run," I hissed and grabbed Ginny's arm so she wouldn't fall.
Once we lost them in the middle of London, we sat down on the curb.
"You don't have the mark, do you?" I asked Aaron. He grinned and shook his head.
"Not for a year, but those idiots are too stupid to figure it out. Luckily, Draco keeps tabs for me," he said. I shook my head.
"Only two months for me. You okay?" I asked, looking at Ginny. She was shaking from the cold, but looked fine.
"I'll kill you the next time you let it go that far," she said, her teeth chattering. Aaron smiled and peeled off his hoodie, revealing another one. He handed it to Ginny.
"Is that a promise?" he asked. I hit him playfully as Harry approached. Ginny hugged him and I looked away. They were only sixteen, they didn't know anything yet.
"Come on, it's getting late," I said, standing. I brushed the dirt off my jeans and we all separated to go home.
