Chapter 7

The voice behind the trio was very familiar. It was a voice that has been mad at them a lot of times when they where in school. But it was also a voice they knew because it came from the woman that they trusted a lot.

"Headmistress McGonagall, it is very good to see you! I hope you got our owl?" Dan asked Professor McGonagall.

"You can call me Minerva now. You are all adults by now, I hope… But to answer your question. Yes I received your owl. But you told me that there would be only two people coming. So Miss Montague… can I ask what you are doing here."

Lara had a lot of respect for her old headmistress. She was stern but also very kind. She helped Lara through her first year at Hogwarts. Lara started at Hogwarts when she was 12 years old. So she actually started in the second year. McGonagall helped her through all the study from first year so she could actually start in second year. But Lara also got in a lot of trouble in the later years… so she does not know what McGonagall is thinks about her at that moment.

"Er… Yes, hello Profes… Mrs. Minerva… I mean Minerva. I hope you don't mind me joining Mr. Ward and Mr. Lynn?"

"Not at all, it was just a surprise. I have a empty office waiting for the three of you. There will be some food by now and we can talk there. It will be an office you use for the work you want to do here."

Leading the way the trio and the headmistress walk up to the seventh floor. Then they come to a door, they recognize as the room of requirement. When they walk in they find a large space. With big windows, a lot of books, a big table in the middle and a few desks at the walls. A dinner is places at the big table and the four sit down. Minerva already ate, but the trio a really hungry so they eat, and catch up a little bit with there old teacher. The boys tell what they have been doing lately. Lara is quiet. She doesn't want her old teacher to know what she has been doing. Minerva knows not to ask. She had been reading the prophet. She is curious if all of it is true but feels the nervousness coming from the young girl in front of her. She always had a special place in her heart for the girl. She had been a teacher for Lara's parents. But she knew when the little eleven year old girl worked her ass of to get into school when she was twelve that she would have a good student in her old house. The girl reminded her of two of her old Gryffindor students. One who was very smart and did everything for her friend, and one ginger girl who was not afraid of anything.

When the trio finished dinner they explained what they found out about the prophecy. And that they thought it was about them. They wanted to read and have meetings with some people and as Hogwarts had a great library they hoped they could start here. Maybe some of the other teachers could also help them. Minerva agreed to them and let them know they could use the floo network to the room of requirement from the three broomsticks. But that the room would also help them if they needed to work late and wanted to stay at the castle.

And with that, they started weeks of planning, reading and finding out what this prophecy was all about.
