Chapter 29

"We have so much to do!" Bea exclaimed as she hurried into her gallery, grabbing her watering can she used to tend to her plants since she much preferred using her hands than a spell, she would vouch that they grew better.

"What you need to do first is calm down!" Beau snorted, taking her book bag from her hand and hooking it onto the small stand near the door, "we have time, Bea."

"Calm down?!" she exclaimed, "I don't wanna calm down, I wanna plan the evening out to a T, I wanna set up the charm - I wanna visit the room! I wanna do it soon, really soon, because the sooner we do it the sooner kids know they aren't alone!"

"Then we'll do it all now!" He nodded, agreeing with her, "but still...Bea I don't want you to get overwhelmed, come on just take a seat and we'll think over it all."

They had just gotten back from a meeting with Dumbledore, Flitwick and Sprout about their idea of what they wished to do. Bea wanted to make sure they would be allowed to do it but her and Beau both knew that regardless of the Professor's approval then they would still do it regardless.

She had started with justice, on the justice system and how she was sure it was corrupt because she didn't get justice and she found out only yesterday that Beau hadn't gotten justice for what happened to him, and then she dived into loneliness - and then fear, until every single topic she wished to cover had been covered and she was left breathless from talking too much.

"We want to help," Beau had said, stepping forward. Beau hadn't gotten into trouble since his time at the school, and not only was it funny to Bea but surprising. He was confident and cocky and he was very sure of himself that she thought he would be involved in trouble as much as her friends were, but he was a perfect student in their eyes.

"We want to help kids like us...who felt like they had no one for the longest time and could barely smile. We want to show that we could be the ones they can come to after this group joins - after they share what they went through after they let us listen because we are fu- really good at that. We want them to get everything off of their chest and make sure they know that they don't need to continue going through or bottle up what they have been through."

The Professors were silent as they thought about it, and Flitwick and Sprout leaned down to talk quietly to Dumbledore whilst Bea grabbed Beau's hand and clutched it tightly, her breathing unsteady and her breath too.

And Sprout smiled at Bea, nodding her head that allowed Bea to release the breath she was holding, "you can make this group, on one condition."

"Anything," Bea said.

"If...any of these kids are in a great deal of danger - in fact, any danger..." Dumbledore paused, "then I will need to know immediately. Failure to comply, Miss Lupin - and Mr Roberts will lead to very drastic accounts."

"Of course, Professor. We would have come to you anyway," Bea nodded furiously.

"Very well."

"I'm so excited for this," Bea whispered, clasping her hands together, "I mean...and the fact that it's with you like you just know everything. You know basically everything about me...and that doesn't even bother me because I trust you so much - you're my best friend in the whole world and you understand, you know what I'm going through and I feel like I know a lot about you."

Beau nodded, a smile on his lips and Bea stared at him, and she was sure - she was almost positive that smile was forced, that he was forcing that smile onto his lips and she didn't exactly know why, but she couldn't pry.

"Alright, let's plan!" she clapped her hand, pushing past him and to her bookbag where she had stored multiple textbooks containing many charms. Beau was a lot better at charms than she was, and she was sure he would be the better of the two to cast it.
