"Umm, okay" Alison said, confused by her friend's request. She walked over to Stella's bed and sat down, pulling the curtains of the four-poster closed behind her. Stella pulled a small pouch out from under her pillow and opened it, revealing a small, diamond shaped stone.
"Wow... Is that... Is that what I think it is?" Alison asked.
Stella smiled, "That depends on what you think it is"
"Is that..." Alison lowered her voice to a whisper, "The resurrection stone?"
Stella nodded, "Hold it, and ghosts of people you love who have died will appear"
Alison scooped up the stone in her hand, twirling it three times between her fingers. The ghost of a muggle man appeared between the two. "D-Daddy?" She muttered, reaching out to the slivery figure. Tears filled her eyes as her hand passed through his body.
"It happens to me too," Stella said, staring at the ghost, "When I hold it, my brother appears"
Her brother? Alison was sure that Stella had pointed out that she had no siblings earlier, but she didn't question her friend's statement.
"Oh..." Alison said, tears falling down her face.
Stella held out the pouch, "Put it away, we should get some sleep"
Alison nodded, placing the stone back in the pouch. As soon as it left her hand the ghost of her father disappeared, tears continued to spill down her face. "Yeah, I should get some rest" She said, wiping her eyes and climbing off of Stella's bed, then onto her own.
"If it helps, you can borrow the stone anytime, just make sure nobody sees" Stella said sympathetically, holding out a tissue to Alison. She accepted the tissue.
"Thanks... for everything" She said, wiping her face, dropping the tissue into a trash can by her bed and lying down.
"Night" Alison murmured, falling asleep almost immediately.
"Night" Stella replied, lying down and closing her eyes.
