10 - Spotted

                                    

                                          



Cassie and Blake sit at the Slytherin table studying and doing homework. They tune out Draco talking about his arm and Pansy hanging off of him. Every so often they throw balled up paper at the Weasley twins, some of the papers have messages, some of them just to bother them. The twins threw papers every time the two got concentrated on their work. 
Suddenly Seamus runs down, "He's been sighted!" 
Seamus slams a Daily Prophet on the table. Cassie's head snaps up and looks at Blake panicked before whirling around standing up. Blake clambers over the table and the two crowd the Gryffindor table.
Other Gryffindors, the twins, the golden trio, Dean, and Neville all squish together to look. "Who?" Ron questions.
Sirius is at the front of the paper which answers his question. The world blurs around Cassie and she sways. Blake grabs her arm and she leans on him, blinking slowly and taking a deep breath she relaxes. After a moment she stands back up right, "Fuck."
The twins turn and give her a reassuring look before Hermione speaks, "Achintee? That's not far from here..."
"Brilliant." Cassie mumbles.
Neville nervously asks the group, "You don't think he'll come to Hogwarts do you?"
"There's dementors at every entrance." Blake says shaking his head.
Seamus scowls, "He's slipped by them once who says he won't do it again?"
Chills go through the group and they look at each other nervously.
Another Gryffindor nods, "That's right. Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke. Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands."

Cassie, Blake, Fred, and George sit at the top of the Astronomy tower. "Spotted, he's been spotted, but no not in London, not somewhere far from here but Achintee! He's in Achintee."
"He won't come here, not with all the dementors around." George reassures. 
"You're safe at Hogwarts." Fred adds.
"Am I? Look at all the damage he did before he went to Azkaban and Voldemort has gotten in here! So who says he can't?" 
The twins wince at her use of Voldemort but don't say anything. Blake sighs, "But he was taken care of! Plus Dumbledore won't let anything happen to you." 
"How do we know he won't be more worried about Harry?" Cassie questions.
The twins sling their arms around Cassie. Blake chooses to respond before they can, "Because he can protect the both of you. If you are that worried you can ask him. Or just talk to Harry."
"I haven't really talked to him since I found out more of why Sirius went to Azkaban." Cassie says nervously. 
"He can't blame you for that." Fred comforts.
"Can't he though? When Seamus shared the paper you should of seen the look he gave me when I left."
George shakes his head, "Seamus can get...hard headed and judgmental but he's harmless."
Cassie sighs and nods, she squeezes the twins tighter who laugh and envelop her in a hug. Blake watches the twins crush her and laughs as she begins to struggle against them.

The next day Cassie and Blake walk to Defense Against the Dark Arts. "So with all this potions studying this year I have perfected the invisibility potion." Blake brags.
"No way." Cassie says excitedly.
"I did! It's bloody brilliant we don't need to use Harry's cloak anymore and with the map? Unstoppableee." He singsongs.
