Chapter 18.
╚═══════✧₊∘╝
  Artemis and Frey are at the back of the horde of students, so they can't see what is going on. They try and push through to see what's happened, however, they cannot fight through the older students.
  "Someone forgotten a password?" Frey suggests to Artemis. What else could cause all of the students from the Halloween Feast to be backed up in the second floor corridor.
  Artemis shrugs. 
  "Riddle is there with a dead body". 
  "Riddle and Berkshire have killed a cat". 
  "What's the Chamber of Secrets?".
  Rumours echo like Chinese whispers through the horde of students. Both Artemis and Frey hear of the horrible rumours of their friends.
  "Mattheo and Lorenzo?" Artemis mutters. What could they have possible gotten themselves into this time.
  Artemis takes Frey by the hand. It looks like they're going to have to come to the boys' rescue once again.
  "C'mon" Artemis tells Frey. They can't do anything to help Mattheo and Lorenzo if they're all the way at the back of the crowd.
  The two girls push their way through the crowd of students, everyone is fighting for a way to see what is happening. Being smaller, the two girls manage to slip between the older students. And Frey manages to summon up a little bit of her super strength for a few moments to push through the burlier of students.
  They break through the front line of Slytherin students in time to see Filch grabs Mattheo by his shirt and pin him up against the wall. 
  "You've killed my cat!" Filch screams. "I'll kill you" Filch continues. 
  His whole body is trembling with rage and Mattheo can't break free of Filch's grip, he's surprisingly strong for someone so thin. 
  Lorenzo pushes Filch away from Mattheo, then steps in between them. "Merlin, get your hands off of him" Lorenzo warns Filch. He stands resolute between Filch and Mattheo.
  Lorenzo is in the right sort of mood to get into a brawl today, be it student or teacher. Any way for him to burn off some of the anger he feels.
  "Lorenzo!" Professor Prewett screams out as a warning to her son. Stopping her son before he gets into a physical fight with a member of staff.
  Professor Prewett grabs Lorenzo by his arm and pulls him away from Filch. 
  Artemis and Frey break from the crowd and rush to help Mattheo back up to his feet. Artemis makes sure that Mattheo is steady, and Frey resumes Lorenzo's former spot between Mattheo and Filch.
  "Are you okay?" Frey asks. She holds her hand out to block Filch from getting any closer.
  "He has no right doing that to you" Artemis coos over Mattheo. A member of staff should never put hands upon a student.
