Chapter Sixteen: I Have More Questions

Harry Potter POV

Not again, I thought as I saw the mark.

We all then drew our wands, ready to once again, go into action.

BOOM!

The attack has officially begun, I thought. Let's go,

"Let's split up!" I called everyone. "It will be harder to find us then!" and we all instantly began running back into the building, ready to do whatever we can to protect Hogwarts, and ourselves.

I ran through the halls for a while, searching for any signs of the Deatheaters or the Neverseen. But then, when I stopped to catch my breath, I heard the noise of footsteps.

My head snapped up to see who was there, but I only saw darkness, and the faint outline of my surroundings, lit up by the moon.

This could be anyone, I thought. Be ready.

But just as I got ready to shoot a spell the second the person revealed themselves, I saw Biana fade into existence.

"Harry?" she asked.

"That's me," I said.

"Oh, good," she said, "I was thinking you were someone evil,"

"Ha," I said. "Have you found anything yet?"

"Not yet," she said. "But-"

Biana was interrupted by another BOOM.

This time, the attack felt closer though.

"We should get going," I said. "Or they will find us more-"

"Harry!" said Biana. "Look at the wall!"

I turned my head and looked at the wall. But on the wall was a glowing, bright, powerful - looking sign.

Which sign do you ask?

Well, the same sign that glowed when Draco got his sword. The same sign I saw in my dream. The same sign on The Stone of the Oracle.

The same sign that we've been seeing everywhere.

"Why is it-" I started. "Maybe this has something to do with the Stone," I said. Sophie had given it to me earlier, and I had kept it in my pocket to keep it safe.

Where is it? I thought to myself, as I looked for The Stone In my pockets.

"Biana," I said, looking up. "I can't find it, and Sophie gave it to me just a little while ago,

"What?" asked Biana, "how could you lose The Stone?"

"I don't know!" I said. "I swear I had it just a little-"

But suddenly, there was a flash of light, and a smirking Diana materialized into existence.

She was in a Deatheater's cloak, her wand raised in her left hand, but in her right hand, she playfully bounced a stone, as if it was a toy that she wanted to play catch with.

Wait. That's THE Stone!

But even if the hood on Diana's cloak was down, I could see that creepy whitish tinge flickering from her eyes.

What is with this girl and her flickery white eyes?

"Diana!" I said, shaking myself out of thought. "How did you apparate inside of Hogwarts?"

Diana stopped bouncing The Stone and glared at me.

"She didn't apparate," said Biana, "She light leaped,"
