Black Soul- George Weasley

The One With The Undiluted Bubotuber Pus

"I always knew Salazar Slytherin was a twisted old loony," Fred told George and Astraea as they fought their way through the teeming corridors at the end of the lesson to drop off their bags before dinner. "But I never knew he started all this pure-blood stuff. I wouldn't be in his House if you paid me. Honestly, if the Sorting Hat had tried to put me in Slytherin, I'd've got the train straight back home. . . ."

Astraea was quite. You see the sorting hat told her that she had Slytherin in her blood so...

They saw Harry, Ron and Hermione whispering while eating dinner.

"Wotcher Rookies", Astraea smiled.

"Wotcher?"

"Rookie?"

Harry and Ron asked at the same time.

"Professor Binns told us about The Chamber of Secrets", Hermione smiled.

"Yeah Minnie did too", Astraea replied sitting down.

"She did?" Ron asked in amazement.

"More like Astraea used her teacher pet position to ask her", George smiled.

"Hilarious", Astraea rolled her eyes.

                                                                          **********************************

The next morning, Astraea went to the Great Hall, feeling energy being drained from her. She sat down sipping coffee when mail came. Bunch of owls stood in front of her but none were Marama.

"Fan mail?" Fred asked. She just furrowed her eyebrows.

She opened one and rolled her eyes.

"Fuck's sake", she groaned.

"What is it?" George asked.

She turned the paper around, 'WE ALL KNOW YOU ARE THE HEIR OF SLYTHERIN'

"Ignore them", George said. She opened them all one by one. Some had the same message, others were more creative.

'THERE IS A CELL WITH YOUR NAME ON IT NEXT TO YOUR FATHER'S'

'DEATH-EATER'

'WHY DON'T YOU DO US A FAVOR AND DIE YOU BLOOD SAVAGE'

She had opened the last envelope, and yellowish-green liquid smelling strongly of petrol gushed over her hands, which began to erupt in large yellow boils.

"Undiluted bubotuber pus!" said Fred, picking up the envelope gingerly and sniffing it

"Ow!" said Astraea, tears starting in her eyes as she tried to rub the pus off her hands with a napkin, but her fingers were now so thickly covered in painful sores that it looked as though she were wearing a pair of thick, knobbly gloves.

"We better get you to the hospital wing," said George as the owls around Astraea took flight. 

"I'll go", she muttered. "You tell Snape"

She stood up and ran to the Hospital Wing with tears in her eyes. She didn't do anything, she wasn't even a suspect, Harry was. Yet, they don't care. They believe what ever they want to believe.

She arrived and yelled Poppy's name who came running.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" Poppy asked and Astraea showed her her hands.

"Undiluted bubotuber pus?" Poppy asked again and Astraea nodded sniffling.

"Who did this?"

"Hate mail", she muttered. Poppy gave her a Potion to help ease the pain, then rubbed something on her hands and wrapped them.

"Stay here", she told Astraea and left.

Astraea took out her diary and began writing to Tom.

'Hey...'

'Don't you have Potions?'

'Hospital'

'What happened? Are you alright?'

She told him what happened then wrote, 'I can't keep writing because my hands hurt and I obviously can't go over'

'It's alright I'll talk to you tonight'

'I' 

Astraea frowned; he just wrote 'I'

'I?'

'Forget it I'll tell you tonight in person'

As soon as she closed the diary, Poppy and Minnie walked in.

"Poppy told me what happened", Minnie said. "Did anything other than the undiluted bubotuber pus happen?"

Astraea nodded and showed her the hate mail. Minnie read them and frowned.

"Do you have any idea who?" Minnie asked again and Astraea shook her head.

"Students say this to me all the time, I'm used to it", Astraea whispered.

"You shouldn't and this has clearly escalated"

Astraea kept quiet.

"I'll inform the headmaster", Minnie said sternly.

"Minnie NO!" Astraea said

"Astraea, I'm not just doing this as my duty of being the Head of your House, your parents were like my children. Your father as bad as he is now, I don't deny that at your age he was one of my favorites and your mother has sacrificed everything to stand by us. I won't let them down by not taking care of their daughter"

With that, she took the letters and left.

                                                                      **********************************

Later that night, Astraea took out her diary and wrote to Tom that they can talk which made her immediately transfer to his world.

"Let me see your hands", he said as soon as she saw there, softly touching her hands.

"I'm okay now", she assured him.

"Moments like these make me angry"

"What moments?"

"Not being able to be out there with you, protecting you, I would kill who ever did this to you"

"You are here now and that's all that matters"

He huffed and turned around rubbing his face, she could feel he was beyond angry. So, she went over and hugged him from behind. He seemed to relax.

"You wanted to tell me something earlier?" she mumbled to his back.

He turned around and hugged her.

"What I am about to say is completely not fair, believe me I know, but I have to say it"

Astraea's heart sunk, expecting the worst

"I love you Astraea Black", he said staring into her eyes. "You are not obli-"

She cut him off with a kiss, "I love you too"
