24- The Plan

Willows POV

I didn't have a chance to talk to Fred yesterday so I'm going to find him today. I need to know what happened and see how much trouble Blaise is in. "I heard it was about Willow" I hear a Slytherin girl say as I walk into the common room. "Oh I heard Blaise say something about Astoria" Another girl says. They don't see me as I walk past them and out of the common room.

"He's just jealous. Tell him to stay out of it" Astoria snaps. I round the corner and see her talking to Draco. I back up so they don't see me. "Astoria she's going to find out at some point." Draco says. "Both of you stay out of it." She says and starts walking towards me.

I walk to the common room door and act as if I've just walked out. Astoria walks around the corner angrily. I continue walking not wanting to get in the way. "Draco!" I shout when I see him at the end of the hallway. "Oh hi Willow,"he says. "What was that all about" I ask. "Nothing ." He says quickly.

I see Fred in the courtyard and walk towards him. "Willow, Draco!" Blaise shouts from behind me. Me and Draco both turn around. "I've been suspended for a couple days, I'm leaving now but I told filch I had forgotten something in my dorm so I could come speak to you"Blaise says quickly.

"Speak to us about what?" Draco asks. "When Snape took me to his office after the match he told me that, Harry and Dumbledore  know where one horxcus is." Blaise says. "Okay, how do we stop them?" Draco asks. "We don't. The Dark Lord has swapped it for a fake, they won't know till they find it. If they find it" Blaise says.

"If they find it?" I ask. "Yes, it's in a cave that has curses and spells it will take them a while to get it" He says. "So that gives the death eaters time to get into the castle and hide" He adds. "Okay what do we do then?" I ask. "We just wait, go to the ball as normal" He says.

"Zabini! I said you had two minuets!" Filch says as he storms over to us. "Got to go guys" He says as Filch grabs his robes and pulls him down the corridor.

I head to the courtyard to find Fred. "Hey Fred" I say. He turns around and I see that he has a black eye. "Oh god, are you okay?" I ask. "Yeah I'm fine" He says pulling me into a hug. "So are you gonna tell me what happened?" "It was nothing" He says pulling away

I grab his hand to pull him back. "Fred you can tell me" "it was nothing Willow." He snaps. I watch him as he turns to walk away. "I'm sorry Willow but I can't talk right now" He says not looking at me. I need to know what happened.
