Chap•ter 25

"Headmaster?" They echoed, A young woman entered.

"Noa, Splendid. Come right in." Headmaster Dumbledore replied. The woman hesitated at first, looking around the room, before stepping in. Noa cautiously walked to the chair in front of the desk, almost like a prey wary of the predator's intentions.

"So, what do you need me for?" She asked in a meek voice.

"Oh, Noa. So young and naïve. Only if you truly looked at what is right in front of you." The Headmaster's spoke kindly, but coated in sternness.

"I..I don't understand." Noa whispered, bitting her fingernail, nervously.

"Yes, have been had, my dear. By those close to you. He loves you, not her. He is trying to keep you safe."

"I don't know who you are talking about. Maybe I should just leave...And leave you to your thinking." She said while getting out of her chair.

"Halt! No! He is being watched by him and all of his movements. One wrong move and everything will fall. Think about your daughter..."

"My daughter?" She curiously said, now no longer wanting to leave the room like a coward.

"Don't be afraid, I know everything."

"What does any of this have to do with her?" She asked, concern in her tone

"Everything. There is a prophecy written about her. She will be called 'The Girl in The Black Lake,' she will either be the one to destroy the one with serpent eyes, or bring him to his full never ending reign of terror." Dumbledore explained.

"Who is the one with serpent eyes?"

"Voldemort." He said with no fear.

"You do not fear saying his name?"

"No, not in the slightest. He is a naïve soul who desires only for his warped vision of power." Dumbledore replied with spite hidden in his voice, staring of in the distance, almost as he is remembering something or someone.

"Headmaster, who were you talking about before?" Noa asked.

   "All in good time my dear you will find out or maybe never if you are too blind to see the truth. Now please excuse me, my dear. Please leave me to my work." He responded.

      The young woman walked over to the door and looked back at her former Headmaster, his sparking blue eye staring into her plain brown ones, almost begging her to say something. But she didn't. She just went on her way, out of the room.

      "Severus. let's hope your acting is good. She doesn't even realize you know about the child. She is too wrapped up in her own self to realize what is right in front of her. Please let no harm come to her." The Headmaster was truly worried about the future his two former students.
