Ten years ago, a boy who lived, Harry Potter, defeated the dark lord, people celebrated it, and the boy became famous, his story about that night in Godric's Hallow are been told in all the wizards' families since then. Albus Dumbledore, the headmas...
It's a while since the last time Laura talked to Dumbledore, she even barely talk to Snape, she only meet him in the potions. Laura admits that she is scared, scared of what people would think about her, she is not mad, she isn't cruel at all, she just doing what she has to do, Dumbledore didn't blame her that day, but that's only how he acts, she knows Snape was scared, he thought Laura is out of control. On the other hand, their old teacher of Care of Magical Creatures came back, Laura knew he was with Madam Maxine, by the order of Dumbledore, she doesn't know where they were, but Sirius said they're finding the giants. It doesn't seem to be a big change that Hagrid's back, no matter who is teaching, Laura can't focus in class, the school works are no matter to her right now, and sometimes she will have a terrible idea that she wants to come back to the Voldemort, she was a badass outside the school, they respect her, the death eaters, it is great to have that, like the power. But Laura knows, she should have thought that it's an awful idea, she couldn't lose her mind.
Hagrid took them to the deep forest in the first class after he came back, doesn't know what he is playing, he couldn't be that stupid to bring the giants, even if Umbridge isn't here. "Now, put your hand up, who can see them?" A few...Laura doesn't know what they are, black, big, like a horse, what is those, why had Laura never seen them before, Laura didn't raise her hands since she saw most of her classmates don't. "Yeah, yeah, I know you are able to, Harry." Laura saw Potter raise his hand, and Neville Longbottom, the Gryffindor boy that Draco Malfoy always bully. "Excuse me, but what exactly are we supposed to see?" Draco asks in a sneering voice. "Thestrals," says Hagrid. Oh, that explains, Thestrals, the creatures, that only people who had faced the death could see them, Potter saw how Cedric Diggory got killed last year, and Laura, who just killed her grandmother that summer.

One night, Laura could not know if she is asleep or not, sometimes she feels like she is between, she had been like that for a long time, she thought it is because of Cedric's death, but it turns out to be more than that. "Five minutes, Dumbledore's office." A deep voice whispers, Laura jumps from the bed, saw Snape is standing there with a wand, seems like he has just done something to make the others in the room fall into a deep sleep. "What's the matter?" Laura asks, why would Dumbledore wants to see her at midnight since they haven't talked for weeks. Snape looks like he hasn't been informed yet, he waits outside until Laura dresses up, and didn't talk too along the way. "What the..." Snape whisper. They stop, hide in the corner when they saw Umbridge get into the office, and five minutes later, she walked out, looking very angry. Laura wonders why, why Umbridge comes to see Dumbledore at that time. "You want to see us?" Snape asks when they enter Dumbledore's office. "Yes, Severus, Arthur Weasley is being attacked tonight, while doing the favor for the order." "What?" Laura and Snape ask at the same time, "how do you know? And How is he?" Laura asks. Dumbledore pauses a while, looking at Snape, and says, "Severus, I think it is time to teach Harry occlumency." "Arthur is fine, he is now in the St. Mungo's, they find him early, his children and Harry just back to the number twelve, Grimmauid Place." "How?" Laura asks again, "by the portkey." "Portkey?" "it's a privilege sometimes, I must say, to the headmaster of the school." Dumbledore says, "now, I answer many of your questions, Laura, it's my turn to ask you..." "Did he know? Did he finds out that his mind is connected with Harry?" "What? Connect to Potter?" "Did he mention, to you?" Laura is too stunned, how is Harry Potter's mind connected to Voldemort? "No, no I haven't heard any of them for a long time." Laura says, "I used to volunteer to do his mission, he wants to thing in the ministry, he didn't say what is that but he said Lucius knows." Laura feels Snape shakes for a second. "I volunteer to do that only because I want to know what the weapon is, nobody feels to tell me in the order, and I think I could stop him if I'm responsible for the task," Laura explains, hoping they won't suspect her. "I aware, Laura," Dumbledore says, giving her a warm look, trying to calm her down, telling her she doesn't need to be a worry at all. "Then what did he say when you offer, yourself?" Snape speaks to her for the first time they came in, "he said it's not my time yet," replies Laura, "but he says he trusts me." She adds. "He will eventually find out..." Dumbledore whispers while Snape and Laura were talking. "Voldemort will eventually find out, and he must use it to Harry, Severus," Snape looks at him when he is being called. "The lessons must start right after Christmas, we can't stop the connection, but Harry needs to stop letting him in." Snape nods, Dumbledore raises his hand, telling them they could leave. "Arthur, I... he...? Could I borrow your portkey, Professor Dumbledore?" Laura asks carefully, she wants to see Arthur Weasley, Laura doesn't even know why, she just wants to check if he is okay, not just heard Dumbledore said. "I'm afraid not, Laura, Arthur Weasley is being taken care of very well, you don't need to worry about him." "Why? Why can't I ...?" "Because you are not supposed to be there." Snape shouts to her, "and since when did you be so close to Arthur Weasley, huh?" He asks. "I believe Laura just wants to say goodbye, are you?' Dumbledore asks Laura softly, "but as I said, he is fine, so you will see him again." "But not like, really see him," Laura whispers, Dumbledore nods, he had told her about what would the spying job took.
