Black Soul- George Weasley

The One With The Third Attack

"What happened?" Astraea asked Fred and George who were shocked.

"Didn't you hear what Harry said?" asked her Fred

"Leave him alone?" she asked.

"What? He was hissing, talking Parseltongue", George explained.

"Are you Parseltongue?" Fred squinted his eyes.

"I don't think I am", she said thoughtfully.

'Freak' she heard George's thoughts.

"Enough", she hissed.

"What?" they asked.

"If you think that I'm whiney, or a freak, or or dramatic and you can't put up with me, then fucking don't", she raised her voice.

"What the hell?" George looked at her.

"I can't hear your bloody thoughts", she snarled and left.

Astraea was with Tom; he was sitting behind a desk while she was pacing in the classroom.

"How could they?" she shouted.

"Calm down love", he said.

"How can I? In my face they love me and in their minds they call me names", she shouted again.

Tom stood up and put his hands on her face, "It doesn't matter, I love you, you are great"

"I love you too, but out there I am alone. People bully me and fake being my friends. I'm tired", tears were streaking down her cheeks.

"Look I wasn't going to say anything, but I found a way in order to be permanently in your world", he whispered.

"What?"

"Yes, it is dangerous and it would need a lot of sacrifice and work on your part, but it can happen"

"How?"

"I haven't figured it out fully yet but you should know it won't be easy. I'll need a soul"

"What? What does that mean?"

"I haven't understood that fully. When I do, I will tell you"

Astraea nodded and Tom kissed her. Suddenly, she felt really tired and almost lost her balance.

"What's wrong love?" he asked her concerned.

"I'm so tired", she mumbled.

"Come here", he whispered and sat on the floor.

"I don't want to sleep", she yawned rubbing her eyes.

"You have to, you look tired", he said and gently lead her head on his lap and began stroking her hair.

Astraea walked the halls towards Hagrid's hut, she looked at her hands and saw she had a knife. The rooster came closer to her and she felt fear and weakness, so she killed it. Then, she retreated towards the castle. She walked towards one of the hallways when she sensed it, Mud-blood!

She looked closer and saw Justin Finch-Fletchley walking towards her.

"Hello", he smiled, she just started at him. 

"Astraea", she heard someone else say. Nearly-Headless Nick came to her view. 

"You okay dear?" he asked her.

"Attack", she said and both Justin and Nearly-Headless Nick looked at her with fear.

Nearly-Headless Nick stood in front of Justin, as to shield him which caused both of them to get Petrified.

She woke up and demanded to be sent back immediately. Tom didn't object.

She was running the halls towards Minnie's classroom. She found her yelling at some student. Minnie looked at her and knew instantly, from Astraea' face what happened.

"We have to hurry", Astraea panted walking faster. "What if I'm seeing them before they happen, we could save them"

"Do you know who?" asked Minnie. "Who is the victim?"

"Justin Finch-Fletchley and Sir Nicholas", she replied.

"ATTACK! ATTACK! ANOTHER ATTACK! NO MORTAL OR GHOST IS SAFE!RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! ATTAAAACK!" she heard Peeves.

"We are late", Astraea stopped and Minnie closed her eyes in defeat.

They arrived at the scene to see students gathering around and tormenting Harry. Minnie used her wand to set off a loud bang, which restored silence, and ordered everyone back into their classes. No sooner had the scene cleared somewhat than Ernie the Hufflepuff arrived, panting, on the scene.

"Caught in the act!" Ernie yelled, his face stark white, pointing his finger dramatically at Harry.

"That will do, Macmillan!" said Professor McGonagall sharply. 

Astraea noticed the tips of her hair are turning while.

Peeves was bobbing overhead, now grinning wickedly, surveying the scene; Peeves always loved chaos. As the teachers bent over Justin and Nearly Headless Nick, examining them, Peeves broke into song:

"Oh, Potter, you rotter, oh, what have you done,

You're killing off students, you think it's good fun —"

"That's enough, Peeves!" barked Minnie, and Peeves zoomed away backward, with his tongue out at Harry.

Justin was carried up to the hospital wing by Professor Flitwick and Professor Sinistra of the Astronomy department, but nobody seemed to know what to do for Nearly Headless Nick. In the end, Professor McGonagall conjured a large fan out of thin air, which she gave to Ernie with instructions to waft Nearly Headless Nick up the stairs. This Ernie did, fanning Nick along like a silent black hovercraft. This left Astraea, Harry and Professor McGonagall alone together.

"Miss Black, I think your hair is turning white", Minnie said

Astraea looked at her hair and indeed saw most of her hair is turning white. At that cue, George came running down that hall.

"Mr. Weasley just in time", Minnie said. "Could you take Miss Black to the common room before she faints, I have to deal with Potter"

Astraea was not able to speak or object, she was really about to faint. She didn't even notice George carrying her to the common room. All that she can think about was two: either she was the Heir of Slytherin or Harry was and she was somehow connected to Harry. She did not know what scared her the most.
