Will stood in Minerva's office waiting on Hermione. They both entered. Minerva looked less then please. She sat down and motioned for both of them to do the same.
"It has been brought to my attention that we have a flaw in our little plan." Minerva said.
Will looked at Hermione nervously. "What's the problem Professor?" Hermione asked. "You two act like you already know each other. People will wonder how you two know each other. I must say that you two stay away from each other for the time being. You need time to get to know each other in other people's eyes." Minerva finished.
For some reason this unsettled Will a lot. "Miss Granger was going to help me learn the animals." Will objected. Minerva shook her head and said "Hagrid will help you."
Hermione stood up and nodded. "Well if that is what we need to do to keep Will safe I'll do it." She said. Will felt his heart drop for an odd reason. "I knew I could count on you Ms. Granger." Minerva smiled and added "You may leave you have classes." Hermione nodded and left.
"You may slowly talk to her in public though and eventually she will be able to help you. Now I didn't want to worry Ms. Granger about this since she has been through a lot in the past but your crew members never went back to the lake. They are running muck in our world. I would like to send you after them." She finished.
So that was what was really bothering her. Will knew it had more to do than just them simply not talking. "Oh, of course. Don't tell Hermione. Tell her Hagrid sent me on business or something I fear she would worry. Though I don't know why." He finished as
an after thought.
"You leave tonight. I trust you will be back soon though. We will send some of our Order members with you just so you aren't alone." Minerva finished. William nodded he had to stop his crew. That was that. "I need to pack excuse me." He said.
He got up and opened the door to exit. He was startled as he heard her voice "I'm coming too." Will turned around.
"No you are not. You where not supposed to here that." Will said through gritted teeth. "You can make this easy and take me with you or you can leave and I follow." She said giving him an ultimatum.
"This is not your place. Your place is here, learning. This has nothing to do with you!" Will said getting angry. He had put her in enough danger earlier she was safe here at school. "But…I want to help." She whispered looking at him.
"I put you in enough danger already Hermione. Please you barely know me why would you do this?" He pleaded. "Because it's what I do. You're my friend and I feel I need to help you." She said in another whisper. "Please." She said taking his hand. Will felt his resolve crack.
Authors notes:…..Will he let her go? Why does Hermione even want to go?
