After classes ended, Ethan didn’t head directly to where he was supposed to meet Lily.
He first looked for his Head Prefect and confided in him, telling him about the invitation he received from the Pillar of Jaeger Manor. He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss, and it was better to be safe than sorry.
Henry listened to his explanation silently until he finished talking.
“Since she said that you are not allowed to bring anyone with you, it will be hard for me to follow you because they will be on guard,” Henry commented. “Do you have a plan in mind?”
Ethan nodded. “Sir Henry, if I’m not back before midnight, please tell the Professors about my meeting with Lily. Although I'm hoping that she really only wanted to talk to me in private, I just can’t shake off the feeling that something bad will happen.”
Henry pondered a bit before giving Ethan two red balls that were the size of a gold coin.
