We walked down the long staircase silently. The Philosopher's Stone must be ahead. What if the person already got it and fled? Did we just go through everything for nothing at all? I felt my scar hurt a bit so I put my hand to up to my head. I was looking down so I couldn't see what was in front of me. "You.?" Harry spoke making me jerk my head up.
My eyes widened. Professor Quirrell. He really doesn't seem like the type to be one of Voldemort's followers. "No! It can't be.. Snape, he wa- he was the-" Harry spoke walking further down, I stood frozen for a moment before following Harry.
"Yes. He does seem the type, doesn't he?" Quirinus said. I had my jaw on the floor. "Next to him, who would suspect... p-p-p-poor st-t-stuttering Professor Quirrell?" He said in a baby voice with an ugly expression on his face. I stayed frozen in my spot, slowly walking behind my brother.
"B-but that day.. During the Quidditch match.. Snape tried to kill us!" Harry said. If this was any different situation I would've screamed "Ha! See I told you it wasn't Snape! Never doubt me again."
Quirinus shook his head like a disapproving father. "Mhm, No dear kids. I tried to kill you!" He yelled. "And trust me! If Snape's cloak hadn't caught on fire and broke my eye contact, I would have succeeded!" He paused for a second and with a disgusted look he stated. "Even with Snape.. muttering his counter-curse!" He yelled.
"Snape was trying to save us!" I gasped out. It was the first time I spoke through the entire time. "I knew you.. kids.. were danger to me right from the off! Especially after Halloween." He said. It was the first and only time I heard him talking without once stuttering.
"You- It was you! You let the troll in!" I said angrily. "Very good Potter. Yes" He said with the creepiest smile on his lips.
"Snape." His voice sounding as if there was nothing but disgust in him when he said that name. "Unfortunately, wasn't fooled." He stopped slowly. "While everyone was running about dungeon, he went to the third floor to head me off." He said.
He scoffed slowly turning face the mirror of desire. (more commonly known as mirror of erised) "He of course, never trusted me again." My scar was burning yet again so I put my hand up as if it was going to help with the pain. "He rarely left me alone. But, he doesn't understand. I'm never alone. Never."
He turned around to face the mirror completely, my scar burned even worse now. "Now, what does this mirror do? I see what I desire. I see myself holding the stone, but how do I get it!" He said stoping one of his {hairy} foot.
Use the kids.
A creepy voice spoke making me flinch and look around to see the source of the voice but there was no sign of a source whatsoever. Quirinus turned around swiftly and held one hand out like a villain. (that he is.)
"COME HERE, POTTERS! NOW!" He yelled so loud that it eliminated any and all sound in the room. I grabbed Harry's hand as he started to walk forwards. He didn't budge but take me with him.
"Tell me what do you see?" He asked. I saw myself and Harry holding the Philosopher's Stone, we both looked at each other than back, sending a wink this time in unison. I hesitated for a moment but I spoke up.
"I-I see Healers have found a cure for the people who are bitten by werewolves, a-and I'm with Draco and Harry's friends, Slytherin won Quidditch cup and House cup, And I'm h-holding them! I'm a bit older, I'm I-Head girl.. My godfather standing there beside me proudly and Tonks is the best Auror in the-the Ministry, My parents still alive..."
I finished, taking a deep breath. Hopefully that was convincing enough. "I cannot enter her mind.. perhaps she's telling the truth after all Quirinus." The odd voice spoke. If I wasn't so scared, I would've let out deep sigh of relief, instead I exhaled slowly.
Perks of being skilled at Occlumency at the ripe age of seven because Regulus and I were home alone and was super bored.
"You?" He said pointing to Harry. Harry put a hand over his pocket and quietly sighed. "What is it? What do you see?!" Quirinus yelled.
"I-I'm shaking hands with Dumbledore. I've won the House Cup." Before Harry got to finish his story the creepy voice spoke up again "HE LIES."
"TELL THE TRUTH! WHAT DO YOU SEE?" Quirinus yelled at him. Harry looked extremely frightened, and to be honest with you I bet I did too.
"Let me speak to them." The creepy voice said. "Master, you are not strong enough!" Quirinus said. Me and Harry slowly started backing away from him. "I have strength enough for this." The creepy voice said.
Quirinus turned around to face us and slowly started to undo his turban. He had made everyone believe that he wore it because an African prince had bestowed it upon him in gratitude for removing a troublesome zombie.
He looked odd without his turban on. He removed the turban that was hanging on his head after revealing a face on the back of his head. I gasped in horror. "The Potter Twins.." The creepy face spoke, we now knew that the voice was coming from the face at the back of Quirrell's head.
"..we meet.. again." he said. "Voldemort.." Harry and I said in unison.
