AN: It's still in Albus's pov.

Answer to a review by 93 Diagon Alley: Thanks, I think. XD Thank you for reading!~

LET THE CHAPTER BEGIN.

It was getting late, and I still needed to talk to Cassie. I remembered Rose talking to her, after I left. They must be friends. I looked at the ghost.

"I…I need to talk to someone about this. I…We'll…Figure out where you came from, maybe…I don't know, but maybe. I…Need to go. I'll keep the stone." He nodded at me, looking serious, before smiling goofily.

"Well then, until next time." He waved, before I grabbed the stone again, and looked at it. I put it in my pocket and ran.

When I found Rose, I was sweating. I was both excited and scared. She eyed me, head to feet, and raised an eyebrow before talking.

"Are you oka-"

"No time to explain, where's Cassie?" I interrupted her.

She looked at me again before trying again.

"Really Albus, are you feeling alright?""Just tell me." "But…Why?""Just…Tell me." My voice was louder and harder than expected. "Please."

"She's…I'm pretty sure she's in the library." She looked shocked. Of course. Her cousin, always quiet, why would he (nearly) yell? I must be something important.

I nodded as a thanks and ran ahead. Of course, I didn't really know where it was, but with the help of teachers and older students, I finally found it. I ran in, and, after seeing the librarian looking at me, crossed, I changed my run to a walk. I looked around, and finally saw a girl witting down, with her short hair and her curious expression. I walked to her, then I realised what I was doing. I was going to ask a girl I didn't even know for help, only because she was a Ravenclaw. I'm sure there were more serious and intelligent people, other than her, but I would still ask her. Why? …It didn't matter anyway, she was looking at me, seeing me frozen on the spot. I shaked my head and sat in front of her, clearing my throat. "Erm…Hello. I'm…Albus. Albus Severus Potter."

She nodded, smiling. " I know, I saw you. You're in Gryffindor, right? I'm Cassie Chang, Ravenclaw. Pleased to meet you."

I nodded, and decided to just come out with it. "I need your help." She looked surprised for a second, tilting her head slightly in confusion. "My help?" "…Do you know…Anything…About ghosts?" I didn't really know how to phrase my sentences. She seemed so smart, and when you talked to her, she just made you try to make her acknowledge you. It's a bit silly, really.

"…Ghosts…Well…Yes, of course…A ghost is an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest to the living, typically as a nebulous image…But you know what a ghost looks like, right? Didn't you see them in the Great Hall?"I shaked my head. She didn't get it. "No…But…This one is different…" Now, she was getting interested. "This one? You've met a ghost?"

I hesitated a moment before nodding. "I'll…I'll show you, if you want."

Just when I had finished, she stood up from her seat, nodding her head impatiently. "Of course! Let's go!" I nodded again, and ran out, this time ignore the librarian's look.

I came back to the forest. To the same spot. She looked less excited, now.

"Um…Albus…We're not meant to be here. It's against the rules." She looked around, anxious.

I didn't answer, and took the stone out of my pocket. "Look." She suddenly looked at me, before seeing the stone. "…A stone?…Strange shape…But…It is only a stone…"

I shaked my head, and did what I did the first time. In no time, the strange ghost reappeared. Cassie's eyes went wide, and she gasped, nearly screaming.

"Cassie…Calm down."

After a couple of minutes, she nodded, and closed her eyes. I decided to use that time to explain the situation to her. "I found this stone, rolled it in my palm, and there he was." Fred smiled at us both. "He's…Fred Weasley. He looks…exactly like my uncle. My uncle had a twin, too. I'm pretty sure he is…My uncle. But…I don't' know how he could be here. I don't know. He doesn't know. And I didn't know who to ask to help me…So…I just thought of you, and…" I decided to stop there.

Cassie approached me and the ghost. She tried to touch him, but it went through.

"He…I think he's definitely a ghost. Maybe that stone is magical, or something? It probably is…Well, it must be something related to the stone."

"Yes…But…What is it? I've never seen a stone like that before." "Me neither. But…I think this is going to be interesting. I'm in."

"Wait…What?"

"Well, you can't just ask me to help you and then leave me. From now on, we'll be a team." She smiled at me…And I smiled back. "Alright."

We stayed like that for a minute, before I realised Fred was still there. He normally talked more. I looked at him, and he seemed lost in his thoughts. "…Fred?"

He snapped out of it and looked at us both seriously. "I…I think I have an idea. We should go…See my brother. Your uncle. My twin."

We, (Cassie and I), both agreed, and before we even knew it, we were thinking up an entire plan. But neither of us realised, that another person was watching us from behind a tree. We didn't realise that that person was listening. And we didn't realise, that soon that person would enter our story.
