Juliet

I was at a DA meeting when the lights began to Shake. The wall started to crumble and people were scrambling to hide. Not many got out before the wall broke leaving a gapping whole and on the other Umbridge and her inquestiral squad. I meet Ace's eyes who nudge by brother to then nudge my cousin all three eyes staring at me with shock and disappointment.

Umbridge then had Draco, and Ryan along with some others escort the Weasleys, Potter, and Granger to her office. They rest of use were escorted to our common rooms. Once in the common room many students went to there dorms and acted like nothing happended. I just sat in the common room waiting for Fred to get back.

The group of them came back an hour or so looking  fine. Fred and I made eye contact as he rushed toward me and grabs me by the wrist pulling me out the common room. I don't say anything as we climb the stairs if the Astronomy tower.

"Fred-"

"Did you or did you not tell your cousin and brother about the DA." Fred demands.

I'm taken aback by his accusation, "oh course not Fred don't be draft."

He sighs and pinches the brim of his nose, "I want to believe you."

"Why don't you I'm telling the truth!" I say voice slightly raised.

"Well how else would they've known about the DA!" He yells.

"I don't know maybe someone else blabbed. Why do you assume me?!"

"It's not just me!" Fred States. "It's everyone ,aside from George.  You're the only one with good relationships with Slytherins. Maybe you told them without meaning too?!"

"I most certainly didn't tell them a damn thing. And if you can't believe me then why can't you believe George?"

"That's besides the point. You live with deatheaters so whose not to say you told them about our little group In hopes to impress them!" Fred yells.

There's a silence followed by s loud slap. A red mark forming on Fred's Face.

"God Fred. How can you be so draft. I said I didn't and I'm true to my word," and with that I storm off.

I wonder aimlessly until I realize I'm in front of the Slytherin portrait. I sigh and turn the other way when it swings open.

I turn around and see Ryan and Draco, "Juliet just the person we wanted to talk too."  

I groan and follow them into an empty class room.

"What In Merlin's beard where you thinking?!" Ryan started.

"Yeah you know it was against the rules!" Draco adds.

"Not to mention the punishment you're receiving. You're hand just started to be complete healed too."

I take in there concerns and complaints. Just sitting there and nodding when appropriate. I don't know why or when but I feel wetness in my face and I realize I'm crying. Ryan and Draco notice too as they stop yelling. They sit down on either side of me and pat my back.

"We didn't mean to make you upset JuJu," Ryan says softly.

"We are just looking out for you." Draco adds.

"I know." I sniff. "It's just that me and Fred got into a fight and I sapped him and then I ran into you guys and you guys were mad too..." I sniff and sob.

"Aww JUJU. We're sorry." Draco says.

"Yeah we didn't mean to be mean we're just looking out for you. And why were you and fed fighting?" Asks Ryan.

"He thought I was the one who told Umbridge and you guys where we were. And that's how you found us." I reply

"That's rubbish. You didn't tell us a flan thing." Draco says.

"I know but he wouldn't believe me and accused me of trying to impress death eaters."

"That's it. I'm going to kill him." Ryan says fuming and stands up to leave.

"Orion sit down. You'll only make it worse." I say pulling on his arm.

"Ok but I swear   Next time he deserves what's coming." Ryan mumbles.

We sit in the empty room for a bit longer before heading back to the common room. When I get back Dallas asks where've I been and why've I been crying and I tell her. She too has a few choice words for Fred.

The next Morning the table is buzzing about Umbridge finding out about the DA. Dumbledore is MIA and Umbridge is now headmistress. Word gets to me that Marietta a ravenclaw was the one that sold us out. I lock eyes with Fred when I hear the news and he looks at me guiltily. As I leave I hear George whisper "I told you." To Fred.
