The Sorcerer's Stone (BOOK 1)

YR 1 [CHAPTER 26]

                                                                          UP TO SOMETHING

The four of us were now on the common room talking about the incident that happend yesterday 

"You mean You-Know-Who's out there right now in the Forest?" Hermione asked half whispering 

"But he's weak. He's living off the unicorns. Don't you see? We had it wrong. Snape doesn't want the Stone for himself. He wants the Stone for Voldemort. With the Elixir of Life, Voldemort will be strong again. He'll... he'll come back." Harry explained as I sighed at this 

"But if he comes back, you don't think he'll try to kill you two, do you?" Me and harry looked at eachother and sighed 

"I think if he'd had the chance, he might have tried to kill me tonight. Im not letting him kill y/n." Harry said as i shooked my head 

"you die, i die, we both die." I said 

"And to think, I've been worrying about my Potions final." Ron sighed 

"Hang on a minute" We all turned to hermione 

"We're forgetting one thing. Who's the one wizard Voldemort always feared? Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore is around, You two, you're safe. As long as Dumbledore is around, you guys can't be touched." Hermione reassured me and harry 

AFTER EXAMS 

The four of us walked out of the classroom,  i was scratching my arm  it was always burning during i took the exams 

" I'd always heard Hogwarts' end-of-the-year exams were frightful, but I've found that rather enjoyable." Hermione spoke up 

"Speak for yourself. All right there, Harry?" Ron asked 

"My scar. It keeps burning." He said while scratching his forehead our two friends looked at me and saw i was also scratching my scar on my wrist 

"It's happened before." Hermione said trying to reassure us 

"Not like this." I said to them 

" Perhaps guys should see the nurse."

"I think it's a warning. It means danger's coming." Harry answered 

"Ah. Oh! Of course!" He realized something and walked more faster 

"What is it?" Hermione asked 

"Don't you think it's a bit odd that what Hagrid wants more than anything is a dragon, and a stranger turns up who just happens to have one? I mean, how many people wander around with dragon eggs in their pocket? Why didn't I see it before?" 

We then looked at eachothers then ran to hagrid hut's when we arrived we saw hagrid playing with a flute 

"Hagrid, who gave you the dragon egg? What did he look like?" Hagrid stopped playing the flute and opened his mouth to answer 

"I dunno. I never saw his face. He kept his hood up." He said looking so confused 

"This stranger, though, you and he must have talked." Harry insisted that there is something wrong here which i agreed 

"Well, he wanted to know what sort of creatures I looked after. I told 'im. I said, "After Fluffy, a dragon's gonna be no problem." 

"Did he seem interested in Fluffy?" Harry continued to ask 

"Well, o' course he was interested in Fluffy. How often do yeh come across a three-headed dog, even if yer in the trade? But I told 'im. I said... I said, "The trick with any beast is to know how to calm 'im. Take Fluffy, for example. Jus' play him a bit o' music and he falls straight to sleep." I shouldn't have told you that." He stopped but we just ran off 

"Where're you goin'? Wait?" He shouted at us 

The four of us went to professor mcgonagall's tranfiguration class

"We have to see Professor Dumbledore, immediately!" Harry said demanding 

"I'm afraid Professor Dumbledore is not here. He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and left immediately for London." Professor Mcgonagall explained 

"He's gone? Now? But this is important! This is about the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry said and then Professor Mcgonagall stopped at his tracks and looked at the four of us with wide eyes 

"How do you know...?" She asked suprisingly

"Someone's going to try to steal it!" Harry explained furthermore 

"I don't know how you four found out about the Stone, but I assure you it is perfectly well protected. Now would you go back to your dormitories? Quietly." I sighed and we just walked our of the classroom 

"That was no stranger Hagrid met in the village. It was Snape. Which means he knows how to get past Fluffy." Harry explained even more, honestly me and harry are twins but he is logically smart while im just smart in books, i envy him

"And with Dumbledore gone..." Hermione was cut off by a familiar voice 

"Good afternoon. Now, what would three young Gryffindors such as yourselves be doing inside on a day like this?" We quickly turned around so shock

"Uh, w-w-w... we-we were just- " Hermione tried to came up with exscuses but failed 

"You ought to be careful. People will think you're... up to something." He then walked away 

"Now what do we do?" I sighed 

"We go down the trapdoor. Tonight." Me and harry said at the same time
