Obelia carefully set down her cup of tea and glanced at the window, the sky was dark and glumly. She was currently in the headmaster's office, while she was able to escape his nagging for a brief moment he knew Hogwarts in and out, there was no hiding from him.
"Headmaster, it's common for children to fight," Obelia said crossing her legs, her eyes still focused on the small droplets on the windows.
"Obelia, what was the first thing I told you when we met?" Dumbledore asked calmly looking at the large amount of sweets on the table and taking one.
"Sit Obelia." She answered with a smile, knowing well he didn't mean it literally. Her attention started to shift to the table as well, wondering if Dumbledore had a sweet tooth or if it was normal.
"Obelia," Dumbledore said once again calmly, shaking his head disapprovingly. "You know very well what I mean, keep Harry safe and stay out of trouble."
"Harry is safe, and Draco was the one who was in trouble," Obelia responded lifting her teacup once again, observing Dumbledore's reaction. "Those two were going to duel eventually, what's the harm in speeding up the process?"
Dumbledore sighed and shook his head as he placed down a plate of sweets he had. "There can be harm in even the smallest of things, blowing a candle out too early can make it tunnel."
Obelia frowns, understanding that Dumbledore didn't want her to meddle with Harry Potter and just watch from the sidelines. "I originally planned to not interfere with Harry but plans had to change." Obelia knew what Dumbledore wanted to hear and didn't have a plan to drag it out. "I'll keep him safe and out of reach from Voldemort…"
"Good." Dumbledore finally nodded at Obelia's answer and signaled for her to leave. "Make sure you keep yourself self and out of trouble as well." He said before turning to look at the window Obelia was looking out from.
"I'll try, but trouble seems to find everyone." She said making her way to the exit and taking one last look at the current calm Dumbledore.
'Just what could be going on in that mind of his'

Obelia was taking her time walking the halls of Hogwarts, her steps didn't echo as she was a light walker and had a talent for budding her presence. 'If I were Dumbledore, I'd try to eliminate Voldemort with everything I could do.'
Obelia looked down the gloomy and dark halls and began to frown, trying her best to remember what she had heard from the movie and books.
'Dumbledore is old, he is growing weaker, he isn't as strong as he used to be.' Obelia remembered how many lives were lost fighting the death eaters when Voldemort first tried to take over, and with the wizarding world letting their guard down slowly, more lives would be lost this time around.
'Without the knowledge of me knowing the full story, I can't even save anyone, I can't even save myself.' Obelia suddenly felt frustrated and her teeth clenched.
'The philosopher's stone comes first, get rid of the stone, get rid of Voldemort's curiosity towards it.' Obelia believed the reason Voldemort wanted the Philosopher's Stone was that he made it a Horcrux, but after thinking it over, he needed it to create the elixir of life.
'The issue is… how many Horcrux does he have? And where are they now?' Obelia suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked out the window, outside was Hagrid walking with an oil lamp in hand, she suddenly felt like they had made eye contact and quickly returned to the Slytherin common room and back to bed.

"Here is the plan, we steal the philosopher's stone," Obelia said, since it was now Saturday morning, and Draco and her were at the Manor planning how Obelia would make her entrance as a new dark lord.
"And then?" Draco asked tilting his head, confused as to why Obelia was planning such a pointless thing.
"I destroy it," Obelia said nodding her head.
"That's it?" Draco shook his head and began to write down something in his notepad closing it. "You need to do something big and bold… like starting a war," Draco said remembering how Voldemort gathered the death eaters. "And we need more people."
"We can bring Goyler and Crabbe along, maybe even Pansy and Daphne," Obelia said before moving back to the drawing board. " You-know-who is strong because he has Death eaters by his side, and his motives are clear as well, now that we have the people sorted, we need a motive."
"Isn't this because you want to change the wizard world?" Draco said, trying to think of a motive that would fit a new Dark Lord.
"We want to stand against you-know-who and Dumbledore, and change the wizarding world, so how about a revolution?" Obelia said, trying her best not to use the term war. "Let's announce that we have no plans on helping either side, but instead plan on going against both."
"Why not just help one or the other?" Draco asked leaning back on the couch and looking at the board.
"You-know-who wants to become all-powerful and immortal, while Dumbledore simply wants to defeat him," Obelia said, she knew it wasn't completely true but had no plans on explaining the whole backstory of the two for Draco.
"Why not join hands with Dumbledore then?" He asked hinting for her to drop the idea of becoming a dark lord in the first place.
"Because we need to destroy the philosopher's stone, and when we do that we will make him our enemy whether we like it or not," Obelia said shifting her focus off of the board and onto Draco.
"Why do we even need to destroy the philosopher stone?" Draco asked recalling the fairytales he had heard about surrounding the Elixer of Life.
"So that you know who doesn't become immortal, and it causes a bit of commotion for Dumbledore as well," Obelia said before suddenly turning to look at the slow door opening.
"Gin?"
