Chapter 8: Tag

He had been gone for the day, running an errand for the Matron since Christmas was near and the Matron wanted to send out greetings. It was that same day when the harassment began after its long break. She wasn't stupid, she had seen the scene at the table, and she saw the knife. Harry concluded that it was his roundabout way of thanking her even though he claimed to have "returned the favor" already. But apparently the brute was not only idiotic, but brash. Taking advantage of his absence, they had cornered her and began their "lock the girl up plan". Another one renamed it "Harry Hunting."

Harry thought even if the group was filled with idiots, one of them at least a little sense of creativity. Certainly, whoever came up with "Harry Hunting" had a better sense for names than Finn. Under different circumstances, they may even be tolerable. Nevertheless, crude people will be crude, and Harry looked around at the circle of malicious faces, wondering how she was going to get out of this one.

"Get her!" Finn shouted.

A/N: Was going to make snippet longer but it wouldn't have worked. Longer scene tomorrow.
