I woke up on a soft surface, I looked around and saw Harry laying on the bed next to me. He awoke as well. We were in the hospital wing, there were many get well soon cards on the table beside me. Harry sat up and put his glasses on, I was smiling brightly. There were a lot chocolates on the table under me as well. I looked at Harry who was smiling brightly. We than heard footsteps coming towards us.

It was Albus Dumbledore. "Good afternoon, Harry and Y/n." He said in his usual calm tone. "Ah, Tokens from your admirers." He said.

"Admirers?" Harry asked, I looked at the Professor curiously. "What happened down in the dungeons, between you two and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret. So, naturally. The whole school knows!" He said. Harry and I smiled at him.

"Ah, I see your friends Ronald, Vincent and Gregory, has save you the trouble.. of opening your chocolate frogs." He said taking some empty packets of chocolate frogs from both our gifts. "Ron was here?" Harry asked. "He's alright?" I asked as well. "What about Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Fine. They're both just fine." Dumbledore reassured us. "What happened to the stone?" Harry and I asked, worried. Dumbledore raise a hand "Relax, dear kids. The stone has been destroyed. My friend Nicholas and I had a little chat.. and agreed it was best all around."

"But than Nick he'll.. Is he dead?" I asked him. Dumbledore sat down on my bed next to me "He has enough Elixir to set his affairs in order. But yes, he will die." I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Nick and I weren't that close but he was a very sweet person.

"How is it that we go the stone sir?" Harry asked. Dumbledore turned his attention to Harry. "One minute we were staring at the mirror, and next-"

"Ah, You see.. only the people who wanted to find the stone, find it. But not use it, would be able to get it. That is one of my more brilliant ideas and between you two and me, that is saying something." Dumbledore said.

"Does that mean.. with the stone gone that is, that Voldemort can never come back?" Harry asked. "I'm afraid.." Dumbledore got up and sat next to him.

"...there are ways in which he can return..." He looked back at me. "Do you know why Professor Quirrell, couldn't bear your touch?"

We both shook our heads. Indicating that we didn’t know.

"It was because of your mother. She scarified her life for the sake if yours and that kind of act, leaves a mark." He said in his calmest voice. Harry put his hand on his forehead. "No this kind of mark cannot be seen."

I looked confused" What kind of mark are you talking about, Sir?" I asked.

"A mark that even the darkest of magic cannot break. It lives in your very skin." He said with a smile. "What is it?" We asked in sync. "Love, kids. Love" He patted both our heads and got up.

"Ah, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans" Dumbledore said as he picked it up. "I was most unfortunate in my youth to come across a vomit flavoured one and since then, I'm afraid I lost my liking for them." Harry and I smiled at each other.

".. But I think I could be safe with a nice toffee." He said, looking for one to eat. As he took one out and put it in his mouth, he chewed for a moment. "Alas! Earwax." He said. Harry and I giggled.

We both got out of the infirmary soon and saw Ron and Hermione, talking on top of the stairs. "All right there, Ron?" Harry asked. "All right. You?" He asked back. Harry shrugged. "All right."

"Hermione?" I asked her. "Never better." She answered formally. The twins smiled at the duo up top. They all made their way into their dorms and I to mine. On the way I saw a familiar blonde boy.

"Draco?" I called him which startled him. "Y/n? Oh my god. I was so worried! Are you alright?" He came rushing towards me and pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm fine. Completely fine." I said l, smiling into his shoulder.
