Molly's POV

I couldn't believe Georgia was mad about me hitting her! I mean honestly! First of all, I barely made a scratch. Second of all, as if Georgia didn't want to slap her too! She's a Mudblood! And a man-stealer at that! What on earth was that idiotic hat thinking? I think they need to get a new one. How old is the sorting hat? Like over 1000 years old? Exactly. You'd think Hogwarts would be ahead of the times.

Anyways, as soon as we locked the Mudblood in the broom cupboard, we hid behind the corner, just to make sure no one would find her. And then out came Scorpius. I was ready to just launch myself at him; I mean he was only a few feet from me! And he sure looked as delicious as ever. Boy, would I snog him senseless! Unfortunately, Georgia grabbed my arm.

"Georgie!" I whined, struggling to free myself from her grip, but it was no use. "He's right there!"

"Shut up Moll!" Georgia clamped a hand onto my mouth and I struggled for a second, but gave up and settled for glaring. Georgia rolled her eyes, "Scorp won't be alone." True to her words, that half-blood bitch, Ursula, came trailing behind him like an idiotic lost puppy. Georgia gave me a meaningful look and removed her hand, drawing her wand. Glancing at her white knuckles, I did the same.

We slinked out from our hiding spot over to Scorp and Ursula. Georgia cast a quick confundus on Scorpius, and I cringed; I didn't want to hex him, but it was a necessary evil. Not wasting any time, I thrust my wand into Ursula's back and said in my coldest voice, "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Half-blood."

She gasped and reached for her wand, but I was quicker, snatching it and tossing to Georgia, who had hauled Scorpius over to our hiding spot. I then returned my gaze to my dorm mate who was frozen in fear. I came up close and whispered in her ear, "now here's what you're going to do: you're going to let go of that handle, go back up those stairs, and forget this ever happened, got it?"

"And what if I don't?" she challenged, sounding almost exactly like Citriana. I dug my wand in harder, aiming for her ribcage, and Ursula whimpered. I wanted to laugh. I didn't think she'd be so weak.

"That's what will happen," I hissed, reluctantly lowering my wand. Ursula whimpered once more, and took off in the direction of the Slytherin common room, not bothering to retrieve her wand from Georgia.

Finally laughing slightly cruelly, I sauntered back over to where Georgia was holding a very confused Scorpius. "Wand," I said, holding out my hand. Georgia eyed me suspiciously.

"What are you going to do with it?" she asked me suspiciously, gripping Ursula's wand tighter.

Rolling my eyes, I responded, "I'm going to put it on her bed with a very explicit letter telling her not to interfere again, or something will happen, something much worse than getting a wand jabbed in her rib cage." Georgia smiled like a Jack-o-Lantern on Halloween and handed me the wand, turning back to Scorpius.

"Now Scorpius," she said slowly, "you were just walking down the corridor, thinking about how much you love Molly, when you were hexed from behind by Ursula and Citriana. They knocked you unconscious and left you there. Thankfully, Molly and I found you and woke you up. Do you understand?" Scorpius nodded slowly, still obviously confused and befuddled.

"It's not a love potion, Georgie, it's a confusion charm," I muttered, rolling my eyes.

"I know Moll," she replied quickly, turning back to Scorpius, "but we might as well get a head start." Georgia handed him his wand, which he had dropped when she confunded him and told him he better get a move on, or else he'd be late for his next class.

After Scorpius was out of earshot, I turned to Georgia, grinning, "You're brilliant."

"I know," she said, with a wave of her arm, and we both burst into giggles.

Ria's POV

Not long after Georgia and Molly left, the tears began to fall. At first, only a few tears here and there fell, but after a while, I started full on sobbing. They had hidden me in one of the most obscure places; who would ever look in a broom cupboard, least of all this one? Why did Hogwarts even need broom cupboards? It was hopeless. And if, by chance, someone did find me, I'd most likely be dead. No, I told myself, get a grip. You have been in worse situations managed to pull through. Man up! But I couldn't lie to myself. This was by far the worst situation I had ever been in. there was simply no way out.

But then I heard voices. I snapped my head up and leaned forward, straining to hear or more. My eyes widened as I immediately recognized Ursula's voice. Are they searching for me? I wondered, getting my hopes up. Maybe, just maybe they'd see the broom cupboard and decide to look in it. I'm not that lucky, I thought grimly. But, no, Ursula was getting closer, and soon I recognized Scorpius' voice. And then, to my horror, I heard Molly. I heard her threaten Ursula and my eyes blazed with anger. How dare she? How dare she threaten Ursula? Wait…where's Scorp? Shouldn't he be defending Ursula? I tried to make noise, make some indication that I was in the broom cupboard; all they had to do was open the door. But it was no use, the silencing charm didn't just apply to my voice, it applied to my whole body.

Another tear slipped down my cheek as I heard steps retreating. Molly had broken Ursula, and no more help was going to come.

Ursula POV

I ran. I ran as fast and as hard as I could to the Slytherin common room. From there, I gasped the password and bounded in, falling back on one of the leather couches, my pupils dilated with fear. Scorp… Only now did I notice that Scorpius had not followed me. In fact, he was nowhere to be seen. My eyes widened with the realization that Georgia and Molly would not but it below them to do something to him. I was almost certain they did do something to him.

Too immersed in my worries, I didn't notice the owl tapping on the window until another student said to "make that bloody owl go away, or else," Glancing up, I recognized the owl to be Sajni, Ria's tawny owl. Making my way over to the window, I glanced at it curiously; it had a scrap of parchment in its beak. Hastily, I cracked open the window just enough for Sajni to slip in and drop the letter on my lap.

Petting her softly, I reached into the pocket off my robes, searching for a treat to give her. I grinned triumphantly as I pulled out the treat, fed it to her, and watched her fly up to the dormitory, presumably going to her cage to sleep. I turned back to the letter curiously. It was Ria's owl…could it be? Could Ria have sent me an owl? I shook my head, not wanting to get my hopes up and reached for the parchment. I saw written in an untidy scrawl, something that made my eyes widen. And I could tell it was meant for me. It said four words: The Shrieking Shack. Help.
