The Angel of Hogwarts

Chapter 8

Rose was in McGonnagall's office. Neither of them were sure what to say. Rose tried to be as quiet as possible, while she waited for her parents, sitting on the comfortable chair in front of Professor McGonngall. The chair was tall and caved her a little. She swallowed and sniffled and she wanted to cry. Minerva was nervous, she didn't know what to do. She couldn't bring herself to expell Rose. They both awaited for Rose's parents, who were taking far too long to arrive. They both had important jobs, Ron being the Head Auror and Hermione beingthe Minister of Magic.

On the spur of the moment, Harry cae in the colossal door of the office. He looked worried and Rose's parents didn't follow him, which made Rose even more nervous.

"Good to see you, Mr Potter." McGonnagall stood to greet him.

"Professor, Rose's parents got caught up in work, so they asked me to come for them," Harry said calmly, "I'm sure everything is alright. So, why did you call today?"

"We have a problem, Mr Potter," Minerva thinned her lips, "Miss Weasley has opened the Chamber of Secrets."

"That's impossible," Harry said astonished, looking at Rose, who was fiddling with her hair, attempting not to make eye-contact. 'No, she wouldn't,' Harry thought, 'She couldn't! She can't even speak parseltongue.' "How did you open it, Rose?"

"Well," Rose percieved memories from the night that Tom opened the Chamber, "I looked to the side of the sink and-hmm- there was a- button and I- uh-pressed it. And the sinks separated and we- I- I jumped in and spoke to the snake and it opened."

Rose looked uneasy, she noticed she didn't really know what Tom did. She shouldn't have done it. It was so stupid! She should've thought about it first.

"What did you say to the snake?" Harry asked, clearly not believing her.

Rose thought, "I don't recall," she said.

"Why would you go there?" Minerva asked.

Abruptly, Rose knew exactly what to answer. She could finally share her research with other people. Uncle Harry would be happy about this. He'd get his parents, he'd get his godparent back, he'd get his friends back, he'd be happy again. He could have everyone back and maybe they'll forgive for this Chamber of Secrets thing. They wouldn't expell her for doing such thing. They'd think about the 'greater good' and not care thatshe broke a minor rule.

"I did some research on the 'The Beedle the Bard' and the ressurection stone," Rose smirked proudly.

"And what did you find?" Harry wondered.

Rose smiled even harder, "Well, it's a wonder, you see. I found a way, in which, one can use the ressurection stone to save more than one person. I found, in Beetdle the Bard, in the Tale of the three brothers, that the brothers had done Death wrong, that's why Death wanted to get them so badly. And, the fianceé, she killed herself and she wanted to stay within the dead, so bringing someone back to life isn't making them miserable, it's simply helping them back to their own world. But I have faced a problem! We'd need imense amounts of power to make this happen. We'd need for the whole school to meet at the bridge and appeal to Death with this chant-"

Rose took a piece of paper off her robes, which immediately swatted away by Harry. She looked up into his eyes, they were full of anger, "No. You couldn't have opened the Chamber of Secrets, you'd have to speak parseltongue. You obviously been there, who took you there probably did and that was the person that used the Cruciatus curse on you. Who is it?"

"Tom, but it wasn't the same person who tortured me."

"Then who else was there?" Minerva asked swiftly.

Rose stared at the ground, "Voldemort," she said quietly.

"We might have to do that as soon as possible," Professor McGonnagall said.

"We need the Ressurection Stone though," Rose stated.

"Find someone to find it, Miss Weasley," Minerva said to Rose, who nodded and left, then she turned to Harry, " We need to prepare some defense tactics."

"So, all you two need to do is go with my uncle to the Forbidden Forest and find the Ressurection Stone, got it?" Rose re-explained to Kyla and David.

"Isn't that a little scary?" asked Dave, "It is the Forbidden Forest after all."

"You'll be fine. Besides, Professor McGonagall said so. Just go already!" she demanded.

The two walked off leaving Rose alone. All of a sudden, Rose felt arms pulling her into an embrace from her back, but so swiftly and gently that she felt like home.

"How are you?" Scorpius asked gently into her ear.

Rose smiled, "I'm good, how about you?"

"Better now that I'm with you," he kissed her cheek.

"Do you want to go to the kitchens? I'm starving," Rose said while turning around in his arms.

They were so close now, one flinch their lips would touch, "We wouldn't want to starve you," he moved closer, closed his eyes and she closed hers, and kissed her lips softly.

Her mind was playing tricks on her. She was fully aware that she was kissing Scorpius, but she felt Tom's lips. Yet, she kissed further and deeper.

"Let's go to the kitchens, then," he said, pulling apart.
