Black Soul- George Weasley

The One With The Plan

After they had finished their exams, Angelina and Astraea were sitting next to the Black Lake like everyone else. They could see the twins and Lee Jordan tickling the giant squid.

"Still not on talking terms?" Angelina asked Astraea which shook her head.

"Want my opinion?" Angelina asked again

"Sure", Astraea said.

Astraea noticed Harry rubbing his temple from far, but thought nothing of it. Perhaps headache from the exams.

"Look, I know when you found out that all this friendship was based on your mom, but hear them out. You don't know the full story", Angelina said.

"But I do", Astraea replied.

She now noticed Harry, Ron and Hermione run towards Hagrid's Hut. She frowned.

"I still believe you should hear them out", Angelina said.

"Perhaps, but not now", Astraea said. "Too much on my plate"

"Like what?" Angelina asked to which Astraea shrugged.

"Is it about Cedric Diggory?" she asked again and Astraea frowned.

"What about Cedric?"

"You too seem to be getting close"

Astraea was about to make a sassy remark when she noticed Harry, Ron and Hermione speed running from Hagrid's Hut. This can't be good.

"I'll be right back", she muttered and ran after the trio.

She followed them to the hall when she saw them talking to Professor McGonagall

"It's sort of secret," she heard Harry say, but he looked like he regretted it at once, because Professor McGonagall's nostrils flared.

"Professor Dumbledore left ten minutes ago," she said coldly. "He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and flew off for London at once."

"He's gone?" said Harry frantically. "Now?"

"Professor Dumbledore is a very great wizard, Potter, he has many demands on his time – "

"But this is important."

"Something you have to say is more important than the Ministry of Magic, Potter?"

"Look," said Harry, throwing caution to the winds, "Professor — it's about the Sorcerer's Stone —" 

Whatever Minnie had expected, it wasn't that. The books she was carrying tumbled out of her arms, but she didn't pick them up. Astraea suppressed a laugh.

"How do you know —?" she spluttered.

"Professor, I think — I know — that Sn— that someone's going to try and steal the Stone. I've got to talk to Professor Dumbledore."

She eyed him with a mixture of shock and suspicion.

"Professor Dumbledore will be back tomorrow," she said finally. I don't know how you found out about the Stone, but rest assured, no one can possibly steal it, it's too well protected."

"But Professor —""Potter, I know what I'm talking about," she said shortly. She bent down and gathered up the fallen books. I suggest you all go back outside and enjoy the sunshine."

"Well", Astraea said startling them. "That went well"

"How long were you standing there?" Hermione asked.

"Ever since Potter told Minnie none of your business", she laughed

"I didn't say that", Harry replied eyes wide.
