Harry Potter: Raised By Roses

Chapter Fifty-Six: Luna Is Right... Again

It came to no surprise to the trio that Dumbledore called them up to his office after the Opening feast was over. But he also told them that they were to bring anyone and everyone that knew about them being mystic souls.

The gang was not exactly up for much dessert after the announcement had been made, anyway. So they were pretty much out the door right after the feast had ended. The trio was definitely a lot quieter than they usually were. Their friends certainly understood why. They were shocked as well. Something like this could blow the trio's entire secret.

Fred and George were the only ones left outside of the trio that had spent time at Crystal Rose. The two knew that the students of Crystal Rose were very good at hiding their powers, even if they might aim them at a person's back if they annoy or anger them too much. But that had been for only a couple of days when their family went to visit. They were not sure if the entire school could keep their powers secret for an entire year, especially if one of them was going to be representing Crystal Rose for the tournament.

"Of all schools, it had to be ours," Harry shook his head.

"What was Dumbledore thinking," Melody said. "Did those lemon drops of his finally go to his head?"

"I have never been a fan of sour candy for a reason," Krinos says.

"Your school could not possibly be okay with keeping their powers a secret all year," Cedric says. "You three do it because you practice in secret and know that there are those you can trust."

"But they have not gotten used to this place like you guys," Fred started.

"They would not be able to stand how this place treats those like you," George finished.

"I can easily picture Hailey or T'challa chasing down someone that insults them," Melody giggled.

"I would love to see their faces if they ever see Hailey's wings or one of White's floral beasts," Krinos chuckled.

"They might also call the Aurors and the ministry would be swarming this place in minutes," Harry warned.

"If they come for you three," Fred started.

"They will have to go through us first," George finished.

The trio chuckled and giggled as Fred and George puffed out their chests in a display of their "protective manliness." The trio did not doubt that their friends would do everything in their power to help them. Besides, since both Charlie and Percy had hidden mystic soul powers that they had subconsciously suppressed because of their upbringing in a wand-user country, the twins could also have powers that they did not know about yet.

But the trio made a silent vow right there and then. If the Human Garbage Disposal or the Creepy Stalker Girl turned into mystic souls like their brothers, they were either running for the hills or vanquishing them before they gave other mystic souls a bad name.

The group approached the gargoyle that was guarding the headmaster's office. Giving it the password, which for some reason was acid pops this time, the gargoyle moved aside and they all went up the stairs.

Luna was still the most calm out of all of them. She was still basically floating on her feet as she walked, still her dreamy self as if she was not in any danger of being discovered herself. The trio wished that they had this type of calming nature to them as well. When they were confident, they could be as stone-faced as they want. But when their confidence was shaken, that made it easier for them to be nervous.

They all sat in chairs and waited for the headmaster to make his appearance. He soon walked into the office as well. Professors Flitwick, Sprout, and McGonagall were with him since they were the trios' heads of houses.
