Verity and Yaxley
Verity had gotten Fred's note moments after the patronus had materialised in her living room. She hadn't hesitated before sliding her feet into shoes and apparating to the store, not even wanting to wait to make the short journey. Fred was there, with George and Lee, and he pulled her close, kissing her quickly before disappearing downstairs into the basement. She followed after the three, trailing behind them, past students heading in the other direction.
In the crush, she lost sight of the boys, pushing out of the Room and into the familiar hallways of Hogwarts. There was already fighting going on, she could hear screams in the corridors and struck off towards them, rounding a corner and coming face to face with a tall, dark and robed figure. Instinctively, she darted back, around the edge of the stone wall, wand in hand, heart beating in her throat.
