(Hogwarts – Courtyard)

On the end of December, both Harry and Alexander carried their owls, Hedwig and Featherstone and set them flew off from the castle's courtyard as they watched flying away around the castle area.

"You know, Harry. We made the best day on Christmas." Alex replied.

"Yeah. Me and my friends. We're always to be together as friends." Harry affirmed.

They looked up at the sky that covered with clouds, knowing that they will spend time together.

(Hogwarts – Library)

Months later, the term resumed at Hogwarts as the students returned to their classes and studies before the exams started.

Alexander, Rosella, Cedric, Rolf, and Anton were called by Harry who found the clues that hidden on the wizard card of Dumbledore since it's gone and mentioned about the connection with Nicholas Flamel.

Alex, Rosella, Cedric, Rolf, and Anton were sat together at a table in the library along with Harry and Ron, reading through books. Hermione walked over and joins them.

"I had you looking in the wrong section. How could I be so stupid?" Hermione murmured.

Hermione dropped a large book down on the table, which slammed loudly against the surface due to its large weight, making Ron jumped with startling.

"It was supposed to be on the other side of the library. You should use your eyes more carefully." Rolf encouraged.

"I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading." Hermione said.

"This is light?" Ron asked, earning a stern glare from Hermione.

Then she turned her attention to the book. Examining its pages, she managed to find information on Nicholas Flamel.

"Of course, here it is! Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone." Hermione responded.

"The what?" Harry and Ron replied in unison.

Hermione shifted her gaze up at the two boys.

"Honestly, don't you two read?" Hermione asked.

"What it's says about the stone?" Cedric asked.

Hermione goes back to the book and reads more about the Philosopher's Stone.

"The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers. It can transform any metal into pure gold and produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal." Hermione readed.

"That's extraordinary!" Anton amazed.

"Immortal?" Ron asked.

"It means you will live forever and never die." Rosella answered.

"I know what it means!" Ron complained.

"Shh!" Harry shushed.

"Anything else?" Alex asked.

"The only stone currently in existence belongs to Nicholas Flamel, the noted alchemist, who last year celebrated his 665th birthday." Hermione readed.

"665 years old?! Nicholas Flamel must've made himself immortal in creating the stone. So that means..." Alexander said.

"That's what's Fluffy's guarding on the third floor. That's what's under the trapdoor. The Philosopher's Stone." Hermione says.

"And that must be what Snape is after." Cedric finished.
