After everyone had a big yelled  out and big dinner break ,  they sat comfortable ready for this next chapter.

The man with two faces

" What is that supposed to mean ? Ask Rosalie.

" I think probably a person with two side of faces". Said Emmett.

It was quirrell.

What ! Said the year below and the guests.

Jasper says " I knew he was acting different".

" You"! Gasped holly and Albus. Quirrell smiled. His face wasn't twitching at all. " Me', he said calmly. " I wondered whether I'd be meeting you here , lovegood and Potter". " But I thought _ snape_' Severus '? Quirrell laughed and it wasn't his usual quivering treble , either , but cold and sharp . " Yes , Severus does seem the type, doesn't he"? " So useful to have him swooping around like an overgrown bat". " Next to him , who would suspect p_p_poor st_stutterinf p_professor quirrell"? Albus was shock and holly couldn't take it in. This couldn't be true , it couldn't. " But Snape tried to kill me"! " No , no ,no ". " I tried to kill you". " Your friend miss granger accidentally knocked me over as she rushed to set fire to Snape at that quidditch match.

Regulus stood up and walk over to the teachers table said while bowing " thank you , for protecting my daughter".

Severus was shock having to see a different side to regulus. " Your welcome".

Holly smile at her dad words.

" So if I came the other way ". Said Hermione.

" Then holly would went bye bye". Said Emmett. Getting slap in the head and hiss at by Edward.

" She broke my eye contact with you". " Another few seconds and I'd have got you off that broom". " I'd have managed it before then if Snape hadn't been muttering a counter curse , trying to save you". " Snape was trying to save me"? " Of course ', said quirrell coolly . " Why do you think he wanted to referee your next match"? " He was trying to make sure I didn't do it again ". " Funny , really. . . He needn't have bothered ". " I couldn't do anything with Dumbledore watching ". " All the other teachers though Snape was trying to stop Gryffindor winning,

Leah and Rosalie said " really!

He did make himself unpopular. . . And what a waste of time , when after all that , I'm going to kill you tonight". " Don't you mean me"? Said Albus " course I the boy who_ WHAM". Albus got knocked out. " God he was annoying". Said quirrell.

" What ! " But you said holly was knocked out". Said Hermione to Albus .

Lily and James, order look at him being told the same story.

Quirrell snapped his fingers. Ropes sprang out of thin air and wrapped themselves tightly around holly. " It's you ant it , holly Potter". Holly looked on in worried. " Don't worry I won't take your glamour off you ". " Just like you mother scurrying around the school at Hallowe'en like that, for all I knew you'd seen me coming to look at what was guarding the stone". " You let the troll in"? " Certainly ". " I have a special gift with trolls _ you  must have seen what I did to the one in the chamber back there"? Unfortunately, while everyone else was running around looking for it , Snape ,who already suspected me ,went straight to the third floor to head me off _ and not only did my troll fail to beat you to death , that three headed dog didn't even manage to bite Snape's leg off properly". " Now ,wait quietly, Potter". " I need to examine this interesting mirror". It was only then that holly realized what was standing behind quirrell. Holly read about them , the mirror of Erised.

" So that where it went". Said Albus Potter.

" I can't believe that you got knocked out". " What else have you been lying about? Asked Ron
