CHAPTER 14

As Neville and Dean walked into the room eyes turned to face the scene in front of the them. Cassie was tucked against Neville's chest asleep her tears dried across her face, her makeup smeared. She wasn't in the good shape.

"Oh Cassie!" Ginny cryed.

"What happened?" Sarah asked Dean.

"We came in to see Malfoy and Zabini, well, um she isn't in good shape," Dean said, "Look."

Dean reached over Neville's arm and pulled Cassie's shirt up a little to show her bruised stomach.

An angry and worried Fred stormed into the room to hear this, "What!! Where is that ferret i'm gonna kill him, how could he hurt Cassie?"

Dean, George, and Lee grabbed onto Fred to restrain him from walking out of the room.

"Fred what do you think your doing?" George yelled at his brother, whose face was erupting with waves of anger and frustration.

"Serving up revenge, thats what I'm doing!" Fred yelled.

"Fred you can't!" Sarah cried out.

"And why not!" Fred yelled at her.

Luna replied, "Seamus, Ron, Hermione, Harry, and so many other friends of ours are on the run, we don't need you getting in trouble with the Malfoy's of all death eaters."

"Be reasonable." Neville said.

Fred sat down on the nearest bed and cried, he couldn't take it. The world he new was being torn apart and flipped upside down. This was too much, the love of his life was beaten by his worst enemy and his whole family and all his friends were being pursued by Lord Voldemort.

Cassie stirred in Neville's arms and woke to see everyone huddled around a weeping Fred.

"..Fred..." Cassie said quietly.

"Cassie." said a teary eyed Fred.

Neville gently placed the weary Cassie on the bed next to Fred. Cassie pulled her head onto his lap and once again fell asleep.

"I love you." Fred whispered in her ear, "I need to leave though, its not safe here."

"NO!" Cassie said as loud as she could muster.

"Good bye Cassie, I'll see you soon!" Fred said as he walked out of the tunnel.

What Fred didn't know was that he and Cassie would be seeing each other sooner than they had expected. The war of Hogwarts would soon begin!
