A/N: New chapter time! I would like to thank everyone who reviewed. And I have extra thanks for everyone who guessed who the men in cloaks were. I won't tell you if you got it right or not. If you did, you know who you are! Keep guessing and maybe you'll get it. Keep reading and keep reviewing!

Rose, Scorpius, El, and Al were all huddled together under the tree where they usually ate lunch together. But they weren't eating lunch. They were talking in hushed tones about the event that had happened just two days ago.

It was a Saturday but it wasn't especially warm out so not many people other than Rose and her friends were outside. That was why they were out there braving the cold. Because there was less of a chance of being overheard.

None of them knew exactly why they didn't want to be overhears, but the all knew that for some reason or another, what they were talking about had to remain secret. It had to.

They all fell quiet, thinking about their discussion. They had been trying to figure out who had cast the stunning spell that had hit Rose at the Quidditch Match. They had realized that the spell had to have come from the teacher booth; it was the only stand that was in the direction the spell had come from.

That it had come from the teacher stand wasn't the question. They were all in agreement about that. The question was which teacher had cast it?

Rose tried to think of some way that someone who wasn't a professor could have cast it. It made sense for her to do that; after all, if you couldn't trust a teacher who could you trust? And, her reasoning went, why would a teacher want to hurt me anyway?

Scorpius wasn't in denial like Rose was. He knew it was one of the teachers. There was no denying that in his mind. But he was cautious. He knew they had no facts, no proof, Merlin, they didn't even have a suspect yet! So he also knew it was a bad idea to go to the headmistress about this right now.

Al wasn't thinking about what they didn't have. He was trying to figure out possible suspects. He didn't dwell on the lack of proof. He knew it would come once they found who had done it. But who had? He still couldn't answer that.

El had based her suspicions off of personal dislike. At least that's what Scorpius had told her. She thought it was Professor Sparrow. "He's so creepy. And did you see that glare he gave everyone?" That was her evidence. She thought it was enough to take to McGonagall.

"El, you have no proof that it was Professor Sparrow!" Scorpius told her for the seventh time.

"Yes, I do! He's creepy and he hates everyone!" El retorted.

"Scorp's right El. You don't have enough proof. Besides how do we know the person who cast the spell wasn't McGonagall herself?" Al said looking up.

Rose gasped. "McGonagall would never do that! How could you say that Al?"

He shrugged. "You don't know that Rose. We don't know anything yet." He looked her in the eyes. "Do I think that it was McGonagall? Personally, no. But we can't rule her out just because we like her."

Before Rose could reply two grown woman landed their brooms in the ground nearby. Professor Shine and Professor Redding.

Rose waved to them without thinking. She gasped again when Al grabbed her arm.

"What was that for?"

"How do we know that they didn't do it to you? Besides, this is supposed to be secret!" Al hissed.

The Professors walked over smiling, not noticing the strained looks the four were wearing.

"Hey, y'all? What's up?" Star Shine said cheerfully.

"Not much." Scorpius forced out.

"What's wrong?" She asked, hearing the lie in his voice.

"Nothing." He laughed nervously.

"Isn't it obvious, Star?" Rena asked, grinning. "They've just been discussing which professor stunned Rose of her broom."

Everyone's jaw dropped. No one really cared though. They were to busy staring at Rena.

"How in the world did you figure that out?" Star asked.

"Don't worry, Star. I'm no Karma." A brief look of despair crossed her face when she said the name, but she continued on just the same. "I was wearing those Hear Everything Ear Not Plugs from WWW. You know I wear them to help me hear you when we go flying. I overheard them."

"So that's why you wanted to stop." Star said, understanding coming over her face.

Rena nodded then turned her attention to the kids. "So does anyone care to inform me why you all think a professor stunned Rose?"

A shared look confirmed what they already knew. Rena and Star could be trusted. And Rena, for one, would not let this go. So they told the two everything they knew.

Star whistled, long and slow. "Well, your facts are pretty hard to ignore. So I have to say you're right about one of us teachers doing it. I just can't believe one of my co-workers would do that."

"Why would anyone want hurt a child?" Rena asked, not wanting an answer.

"The same thing happened in my dad's first year. His DADA professor tried to knock him off his broom." Al spoke up.

Everyone knew the story. They had thought it was Professor Snape, the most hated professor, when it turned out to be the most unexpected of all: Stuttering Quirell. Al's comment was directed at El. She knew what it meant. He was reminding her not to suspect Sparrow just because she hated him.

"Yeah, and Quirrel turned out to be possessed by Voldemort." Rose said. Everyone flinched. No one had thought about that before.

"He can't be back, can he?" The fear in Scorpius's voice was evident. He was actually shaking.

"No, there's no way. Al's dad destroyed him for good." Star put a reassuring hand on Scorpius's shoulder.

"I didn't mean that." Rose spoke up. "I think it's someone who's following in Voldemort's footsteps. I don't think that a teacher would do this on his or her own. Someone else must be pulling the strings."

"Still, it was a teacher. But who? It's not Rena or Star. So who?" El asked. Her question was met with silence, yet again.
