I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER

Chapter Eight

Fred stayed with Hermione next day at break, Harry and Ron didn't object. Katie Bell came running across the courtyard towards him. "Fred, you have to help me." Fred went pale.

"What's wrong? What's happened?" Fred hugged Katie tight.

"We just had potions with Snape and he started going mental at Cormac McLaggen. He's still stuck in the dungeons with Snape."

"Hermione, I'll see you at lunch in the Great Hall." Fred ran off towards the dungeon. Cormac's screams and shrieks were heard a while down the dungeons as Fred came nearer. He saw Cormac pinned to the floor by some sort of spell. Snape walked around him shouting abuse at him.

"Worthless you are. You don't belong in this school." Snape sneered down his nose. Snape spat in Cormac's face.

"Hey, I thought you were above all of this." Fred shouted at Snape pulling him off Cormac. "I thought you were different when you were helping me and Hermione." Fred flicked his wand at Cormac and freed him. He held his hand out to help Cormac up.

"When I went into Hermione's mind, I saw the guy who raped and attacked her. That guy was him!" Snape yelled at Fred. Fred turned to face Cormac who was dusting himself down.

"What? I'm sorry for being a tempted man. It was only a bit of fun," Cormac reasoned.

"I just defended you; I stopped Snape from hurting you. Not only did you hurt Hermione, you aren't one little bit remorseful. She can't sleep in her own dorm; she has to take cover in the room of requirement. You are scum. Touch Hermione again or hurt anybody else and I will hurt you ten times more than you would ever think possible!" Cormac ran out of the dungeon, not sure whether Fred would chase him and hunt him down.

"I'm sorry; I just lost it with him." Snape paced up and down his classroom.

"Stop it with the Dumbledore look." Snape glared at Fred.

"How do you know Dumbledore paces? You know what, I don't want to know. We need to go to McGonagall about McLaggen. She's head of Gryffindor..." A pop and a house elf appeared.

"Dobby, is everything okay?" Fred asked.

"Master Weasley, Professor Snape. Miss Hermione is in trouble. She called me to get you. She's in the room of requirement and this boy stormed in, I think he's going to hurt her she's scared. Hurry." Dobby begged then disappeared.

I'll try and upload the next one tonight.
