    (Excerpt from Chapter 2: Red)

    “Fred,” I hear one say to the other. "She needs help. Go get someone. Anyone.”

    I hear punches from the floor scuffle. George puts a hand to the side of my face and looks at me with worried eyes. I start to shiver, and my breathing is uneven. He looks scared. He turns round and sends a stunning spell at him on the floor. He stills. “Fred - stop. He’s not going anywhere. But she needs help. Go. Get someone, anyone. I’ll stay with her.”

    Fred takes one look at me and immediately jumps into action. He sends one last kick to the shins of the immobile boy on the floor. “Go”, George urges. Fred rushes over and out of the common room door.
