Chapter Fifty: A Flight to Death

є∂ιтє∂

The moment had come, the last day of school, during assembly it was announced that Slytherin had yet again won the house cup, and it was also revealed who the new headboy and head girl was, immense pride and joy ran through Ophelia's veins, her cousin Tirion had just been announced as the new head girl of Hogwarts alongside Milton Benjamin, the new headboy.

Just like last year, the school was to have an early finish, they were to leave for the Hogwarts express at 1:30 pm, which gave the group exactly four and a half hours to get Tom to confess.

Tom and Ophelia joined Avery and Orion in the courtyard who was already there with the rest of the group. Emory looked over to Ophelia who was holding Tom's hand gave her a reassuring smile.

"I'm sure Huw and Iolo will meet us down there, I'm starving so I say we just go now," Ophelia spoke up.

The group unanimously agreed and began the short walk to the abandoned accommodation block on the outskirts of the forbidden forest. Whilst walking down the hill towards the small stream which they would follow to the abandoned building, Ophelia's name was called from far back.

She and Tom turned around and looked up to the covered bridge. What they saw was meant different things for both of them - Tom simply just saw Ophelia's cousins and his followers finally catching up to them, whilst Ophelia saw that Abraxas and co knew all about their plan by the way they were gripping the twin brothers.

Malfoy, Lestrange, Nott and Selwyn caught up with the group. Each one of them having a sly smile on their faces as they looked at Ophelia.

"You could've held on for a few more minutes, no?" Odgar Nott asked.

Tom rolled his eyes, "Nott will you calm down, you were late - if you wanted to come with us you should have been there when you were supposed to be."

"Bit thoughtless to invited us though, isn't it Lockwood?" Lachlann asked as he eyed her up and down.

"With all due respect, Selwyn. But we don't exactly see eye to eye, do we?" Ophelia said through gritted teeth, "and if you want your pretty faces to stay as they are I suggest you all unhand my cousins before I do it for you."

Tom looked at his four friends and nodded his head. The four boys released the twins and Tom continued walking.

Abraxas walked up to Ophelia and whispered in her ear, "one wrong move Lockwood, and I'll tell him all about your plan, do you hear me?"

Ophelia had never been afraid of anyone before, not until now. Their secret was out. Whether she behaved or not, Tom's followers were still going to tell him, Ophelia just needed to act fast.

"Hurry along, I have no idea where I'm going, Lockwood!" Tom called back to Ophelia.

Ophelia looked back to the four Slytherin boys who all had devilish smirks plastered on their face.

"Hurry now, Lia," Odgar pushed past Ophelia.

Emory put an arm on Odgar's shoulder, he pushed him back, "back off!"

"Or what, Oliphant?" Odgar raised his voice, "you can't touch me, and if you do, I'll go straight to Tom about your little plan!"

"Will you lot hurry up, I haven't had anything since breakfast!" Tom called up to the group.

The four boys overtook the group and caught up with Tom, Orion closely followed as he was confused as to what was happening.

"What the hell are we going to do now?" Emory said to the group.
