The Chosen One

Chapter Six

Genesis’s P.O.V
The Holidays had come to an end and school had started back up again and once classes were over for the day, I was in the Library with Harry, Ron and Hermione before she came over to us, “I had you looking in the wrong section. How could I be so stupid.” she said to us before she slammed the book on the table, “bloody hell, could’ve broken my fingers doing that.” I said to her, “I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading.” she continued, “this is light?” Ron questioned, “of course, here it is. Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone.” she said to us, “the what?” Harry and Ron questioned, “honestly, don’t you two read?” she asked them, “apparently not.” I said to her before she continued, “The Philosopher Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers. It’ll transform any metal into pure gold and produce the Elixir of Life which will make the drinker Immortal.” Hermione said to us, “Immortal?” Ron questioned, “it means you’ll never die.” Hermione said to him, “I know what it means” Ron said and both Harry and I shushed him before Hermione continued, “the only one currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicholas Flamel, the noted Alchemist who last year celebrated 665th birthday. That's what Fluffy is guarding  on the third floor. That’s what’s under the trapped door, the Philosopher's Stone.” Hermione said to us, “that three headed dog had a name?” I questioned, “yeah. It’s Hagrids dog actually and he was the one who named him that'' Harry said to me, “then what do we do about it? We can’t just go past Fluffy. Not unless Hagrid knows something that could help us with it.” I said to them, “there might be. We should go to his place and find out so we can get by Fluffy.” Hermione said and the rest of us agreed to go to Hagrids later that night.

When the time came, the four of us met in the Common Room and talked it over before we managed to get by and through the halls without getting caught before we finally made it outside and rushed to Hagrids place and once the four of us had gotten there, we knocked on the door before he opened it to see that he was busy doing something, “Hagrid” Harry had spoken up before Hagrid said something, “oh, hello. Sorry, don’t wish to be rude but I’m in no fit state to entertain today.” Hagrid said to us as he began to close the door, “we know about the Philosopher Stone.” we all said to him before he could and began to open it again, “oh.” he said before letting us inside and the four of us managed to find somewhere to sit, “we think Snape’s trying to steal it.” Harry said to him, “Snape? Blimey, you’re still not on about him are ya?” Hagrid said to him, “they are, I’m not. I don’t think my dad is trying to do anything in my opinion.” I mentioned, “we know he’s after the stone, we just don’t know why.” Harry told him and I sighed a little, “Genesis has a point, her father is one of the teachers protecting the stone, he’s not about to steal it.” Hagrid told them, “what?” Harry questioned, “you heard. Right, come on now, I’m a bit preoccupied today.” Hagrid said to us, “Wait a minute, one of the teachers?” Harry questioned, “of course. There are other things defending the stone, aren’t there? Spells, Enchantments.” Hermione said to him, “that’s right. Waist of bloody time if you ask me. Ain’t no one going to get past Fluffy, ain’t a soul knows how, Except for me and Dumbledore. I shouldn’t have told you that.” Hagrid said before we began to hear something from the Fireplace before Hagrid had taken it out and saw that it was a type of egg as he set it down, “uh, Hagrid what exactly is that?” Harry asked him and he tried explaining before Ron spoke up, “I know what that is but Hagrid, how did you get one?” he said as he began to wonder, “I won it off a stranger I met down at the pub. Seemed quite glad to be rid of it, as a matter of fact.” Hagrid said to us before it began to hatch and once it did, a baby dragon came from it and I smiled a little, “Is that a Dragon?” Hermione asked Hagrid “aww look at that, it’s a baby Dragon.” I said as I looked at it, “it’s not just a dragon, that’s a Norwegian Richback. My brother Charlie works with these in Romania.” Ron told us, “isn’t he beautiful? Oh bless him look, he knows his mummy. Hello Norbert.” Hagrid said, “Norbert?” Harry questioned, “yeah well, he’s got to have a name don’t he?” Hagrid said to him, “suits him actually.” I said to him before it managed to catch Hagrid's beard on fire a little before he put it out, “who’s that?” Hagrid asked and we looked to see what he was talking about before seeing Malfoy in the window, “Malfoy.” Harry said, “if it was Malfoy, we should probably get back before we end up getting caught.” I told them and they agreed before we left Hagrids place.
