“We have to go to Dumbledore,” Ron said.
“Where is his office?” Harry asked.
“We can search around the castle,” said Hermione
“Or, we can go ask McGonagall. She’s the vice principal,” I said.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione suddenly stop. And they look at me between weird and amaze.
“What?” I asked confused.
“Who tought you can think a better idea than Hermione,” Ron said. Hermione glares at him.
We’re in McGonagall's classroom. We’re tearing in and run up the aisles between desks. We pass a ghost and stop at the desk.
“ We have to see Professor Dumbledore, immediately!” said Harry.
“ I'm afraid Professor Dumbledore is not here. He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and left immediately forLondon,” said McGonagall
“He's gone?! Now?” I said.
“But this is important! It's about...the Philosopher's Stone,” Harry said.
“ How do you know,” said McGonagall shocked.
“ Someone's going to try and steal it,” said Harry.
“ I don't know how you three found out about the stone, but I can assure you it is perfectly well-protected. Now would you go back to your dormitories? Quietly,” said McGonagall. And then, we’re leaving
After exiting McGonagall's class, they walk down the hallway.
“ That was no stranger Hagrid met in the village. It was Snape, which means he knows how to get past Fluffy,” said Harry
“ And with Dumbledore gone,” said Hermione.
Snape suddenly appears behind us.
“ Good afternoon. Now, what would three young Gryffindors such as yourselves be doing inside on a day like this?” asked Snape.
“ Uh...we were just...” said Hermione.
“ You want to be careful. People will think you're up to something ,” said Snape.
Harry glares madly at Snape, who looks shocked
“ Now what do we do?” said Hermione
“ We go down the trapdoor. Tonight.” Said Harry.
It’s nighttime. In the Gryffindor Common Room. We come down the stairs and begin to walk across the floor. We stop when they hear croaking.
“ Trevor,” I said
“ Trevor shh! Go, you shouldn't be here!” said Ron
“ Neither should you. You're sneaking out again, arent you?” said Neville suddenly appear behind the chairs.
“ Now, Neville, listen. We were,” said Harry
“ No! I won't let you! You'll get Gryffindor in trouble again! I-I'll fight you,” said Neville and holds out his fists.
“ Neville, I'm really, really sorry about this... Petrificus Totalus,” said Hermione
Neville is frozen and falls backwards onto the ground. Hermione puts her wand back.
“Hermione, what did you do?” I whispered.
“ You're a little scary sometimes...you know that? Brilliant, but scary,” Ron gulps
“ Let's go,” Harry said and walks by Neville. “Sorry.”
“ Sorry,” said Hermione
“I’m really sorry Neville,” I said
“ It's for your own good, you know,” said Ron
We are under the Invisibility cloak, sneaking along the corridor.
“ Ow! You stood on my foot!” said Hermione
“ Sorry,” said Ron. I draws out my wand and points it at the door.}
“ Alohomora,” I said
The door opens and we go in.
“ Wait a minute...he's sleeping,” said Ron.
“ Snape's already been here. He's put a spell on the harp,” said Harry and we approach the sleeping dog.
“ Uh. It's got horrible breath!” said Ron
“ We have to move its paw,” said Harry.
“ What?!” said Ron
“ Come on!” said Harry and grabs paw, which is blocking the door.} “Okay. Push!”
The door is open
“I'll go first. Don't follow until I give you a sign. If something bad happens, get yourselves out...,” said Harry.
“Does it seem a bit...quiet?” I asked
“ The harp. It stopped playing,” said Hermione.
Drool from one head comes down on Ron's shoulder.
“ Ew! Yuck! Ugh.m,” said Ron.
We look up and see Fluffy standing there. Fluffy barks and growls, thrashing. It breaks the harp and dives at us
“ Jump! Go!” said Harry and we all jump through the trapdoor.
“ Whoa. Lucky this plant-thing is here, really,” said Ron
“ Whoa!” Harry screams. The plant begins to move towards and ties up
“ Stop moving, all of you. This is Devil's Snare. You have to relax. If you don't, it will only kill you faster,” said Hermione.
“ Kill us faster?! Oh, now I can relax!”said Ron.
Hermione manages a smile as she is sucked down below.
“ Hermione!!” we scream
“ Now what are we gonna do?!” said Ron
“ Just relax!” said Hermione
“ Hermione! Where are you?!” I asked
“ Do what I say. Trust me,”said Hermione.
Harry and I and is sucked through.
”Ahh! Harry! Fanny!” Ron screams
Harry falls through and lands on the hard ground. Hermione goes over to him and he stands up. And Harry helps me up
“ Harry!” said Ron
“ Are you okay?” asked Hermione
“ Yeah, yeah, I'm fine,” said Harry. “Fanny, are you Ok?” Harry asked.
“Yeah,” I slightly smile
“ Help!” Ron screams
“ He's not relaxing, is he?” said Hermione
“ Apparently not,” said Harry
“ Help! Help me!” said Ron
“ We've got to do something!” I said
“ What?” Harry asked
“ Uh! I remember reading something in Herbology. Um Devil's Snare, Devil's Scare, it's deadly fun...but will sulk in the sun! That's it! Devil's Snare hates sunlight!” said Hermione
“But we don’t have matches,” Harry and Hermione said.
“We’re a wizard,” I said.
“Oh yeah,” Hermione said. “Lumus Solem!” Hermione takes out her wand and points upwards. Ron falls below.
“ Ahhh!” Ron screams
“ Ron, are you okay?” Harry asked
“ Yeah,” Ron said. “Whew. Lucky we didn't panic!”
“ Lucky Hermione and Fanny pays attention at school,” Harry said
There is a sound.
“ What is that?” I asked
“ I don't know. Sounds like wings,” Harry said
We enter into a room filled with golden "birds."
“ Curious. I've never seen birds like these,” said Hermione
“ They're not birds, they're keys. And I'll bet one of them fits that door,” said Hary.
And there come upon a broomstick, suspended in the air.
“ What's this all about?” Hermione said
“ I don't know. Strange,” Harry said
Ron creeps over to the door and takes out his wand.
“ Alohomora!” Ron said but the door won’t open. “ Well, it was worth a try.”
“ Ugh! What're we going to do? There must be 1000 keys up there!” said Hermione
“ We're looking for a big old fashioned one. Probably rusty like the handle,” I said
“ There! I see it! The one with the broken wing!” said Harry and at the broom.
“ What's wrong, Harry?” I asked
“ It's too simple,” Harry said
“ Oh, go on, Harry! If Snape can catch it on that old broomstick, you can! You're the youngest seeker in a century!” I said.
Harry nods and grabs the broom. All the keys suddenly go one direction, right at Harry. He climbs on, swiping at them.
“ This complicates things a bit!” Hermione said.
Harry pushes off into the air. He flies off, after the key. The others follow him. Harry grabs the key.
“ Catch the key!” Harry said
He zooms by and throws the key to Hermione, who catches it and heads for the lock while Harry distracts the other keys. Hermione puts it in the lock.
“ Hurry up!” I said
The door opens, and Hermione, Ron, and I rush through, followed by Harry. They shut the door just as the keys slam up against it.
We enter a dark room, with broken pieces all around it.
“ I don't like this. I don't like this at all,” said Hermione
“ Where are we? A graveyard,” Harry asked
“ This is no graveyard. It's a chessboard,” I said
“ There's the door,”said Ron
We walk across the board, towards the door. Suddenly, as we reach a line of pawns, the pawns bring up their swords. We jump and back up.
“ Now what do we do?” Hermione said.
“ It's obvious, isn't it? We've got to play our way across the room,” I said.
“ All right. Harry, you take the Bishop's square. Hermione, you'll be the Queen's side castle. As for Fanny and me, we'll be a knight.
“ What happens now?” Hermione asked.
“ Well, white moves first, and then...we play,” Ron said. A pawn on the other side moves forward. Ron studies the game.
“ Ron, you don't suppose this is going to be like...real wizard's chess, do you?” Hermione said.
“ You there! D-5!” Ron said. A black pawn moves forward, diagonal to the white pawn. The white pawn raises its swords and smashes the black one. We jump. “ Yes, Hermione, I think this is going to be exactly like wizard's chess!”
The game continues. Pieces smash each other, boom! Boom!
“ Castle to E-4!” said Ron leads the game. “Pawn to C-3!”
Smash! Boom! The Queen turns, and smashes a piece! Harry, Ron and Hermione wince. The Queen turns again. Ron, Harry, amd I study the game.
“ Wait a minute,” Harry said
“ You understand right, Harry. Once I make my move, the Queen will take me...then you'll be free to check the King,” I said
“No, Fanny! No!” Harry said
“ What is it?” Hermione said
“She's going to sacrifice herself!” Harry said.
“ No, Fanny, you can't! There must be another way!” Hermione said
“ Do you want to stop Snape or not? Harry, it's you that has to go on. I know it. Not me, not Hermione,not Ron, you,” I said. “Don’t worry, I’ll be alright.”
“Do it Ron,” I said again.
“Are you sure?” Ron asked.
“Just do it,” I slightly smile.
“ Knight...to H-3,” Ron said
My horse moves forward, slides and stops.
“ Check,” I said
The Queen turns and advances. I breath faster, clutching the steel reins. The Queen stops. SMASH! I go flying off the horse and lands on the floor, unconscious.
“FANNY!” said Harry.
HARRY’S POV
Hermione starts walking to her.
“ NO! Don't move! Dont forget, we're still playing,” I said. Hermione moves back. I walk the diagonal in front of the King. “Checkmate.”
The Kings sword falls onto the ground victory. I breath out and then all three of us run to Fanny. “Take care of Fanny. Then, go to the owlery. Send a message to Dumbledore. Fanny's right...I have to go on,” Harry said
“ You'll be okay, Harry. You're a great wizard, you really are,” said Hermione
“ Not as good as you,” I
“ Me? Books and cleverness? There are more important things. Friendship, and bravery,” Hermione said.
“ And Harry, just be careful,” Ron said
I nods and stands, walking away.
HERMIONE’S POV
Harry walks down a long staircase. Me and Ron still sit here.
“What we are going to do now?” Ron asked.
“We have to bring her to Madam Pomfrey,” I said. “Wingardium Leviosa.”
Then Fanny’s body fly around. We reach at the trap door.
“How we suppose to bring her up there,” Ron asked.
The plants suddenly make thestair.
“Cool!” Ron said and we walk to upstairs.
“Sing something Ron!” I said.
“What?” Ron asked.
“Sing something so Fluffy can sleep,” I said
Ron starts to Humming. Fluffy still sleeps. And we go to Madam Pomfrey.
“What happened to her?” Madam Pomfrey asked.
Both me and Ron stare at each other.
“She fell,” I murmured.
“On what?” she asked.
“Something hard,” I said.
“Like a rock,” Ron said and I glare at him.
“Just put she on the bed,” Madam Pomfrey said ,”And you can go now.”
“Get well soon Fanny,” I said eventhough she still uncouncious.
And we come back to common room.
FANNY’S POV
I still at hospital wings. Madam Pomfrey doesn’t let me out yet. I see Harry in the bed beside me
Harry is bandaged, lying in bed. Suddenly, e awakens, puts on his glasses, and sits up.
“Fanny, are you Ok,” Harry asked.
“I’m the one who suppose to ask you that. You’re the one who’s unconscious fot three days,” I said.
“But you’re the one who get hit by a giant chess player,” Harry said. “Why you have to do that?”
“Well, if I don’t do that, maybe the stone already been stolen,” I explained.
“But, what if you died or seriously hurt? Are you not afraid?” Harry asked.
“Well, at first I was scared. But I realize, at that point, I have to sacrifice myself. If I don’t maybe Voldemort will come back and kill so many people. And if I do that, we just have to lose one person,” I said.
“You don’t think I’m gonna miss you,” Harry said and he feel that he blush. “And everyone else, Mrs. Figg,” he continue.
“It’s better than so many people that died,” I smiled.
“You’re really tough than you look, aren’t you?” Harry said. I just smiled. “What is it? Why there are cards and candy all over?”
Suddenly Dumbledore approaches us.
“ Good afternoon, Harry, Ms Peter. Ah. Tokens from your admirers?” said Dumbledore.
“Please just call me Fanny,” I said.
“ Admirers?” asked Harry
“ What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally, the whole school knows,” I said.
“Ah, I see your friend Ronald has saved you the trouble of opening your Chocolate Frogs,” said Dumbledore.
“ Ron was here? Is he all right? What about Hermione?” Harry asked
“ Fine. They're both just fine,” said Dumbledore.
“ But, what happened to the Stone?” I said
“ Relax, dear. The stone has been destroyed. My friend Nicholas and I had a little chat and agreed it was best all around,” Dumbledore sid
“ But Flamel, he'll die, won't he?” said Harry
“ He has enough Elixir to set his affairs in order. But yes, he will die,” Dumbledoe said
“ How is it I got the Stone, sir? One minute I was staring in the mirror, and the next...,” Harry said.
“Next what?” I asked.
“The stone is already in my pocket,” Harry said
“ Ah. You see, only a person 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 us thats saying something,” Dumbledore said
“ Does that mean, with the Stone gone, I mean, that Voldemort can never come back?” I asked
“ Ah, I'm afraid there are ways in which he can return. Harry, do you know why Professor Quirrell couldn't bear to have you touch him?” Dumbledore said. Harry shakes his head. “It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you, and that kind of act leaves a mark.” Harry touches his scar. “No, no, this kind of mark cannot be seen. It lives in your very skin.”
“ What is it?” Harry asked
“Love,” I whispered.
“ That’s right Fanny. Love, Harry, love, he said and pats Harry's head and stands up. “Ah. Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. I was most unfortunate in my youth to come across a vomit flavoured one, and since then I have lost my liking for them. But I think I could be safe with a nice toffee...” hetakes brown bean and eats it. “Mm. Alas. Earwax.”
Harry and I laughed.
“Here try this one,” I offer Dumbledore.
“Uhm.. Strawberry,” Dumbledore laughed. “You’re a lucky girl. Now, both of you, get ready, the party almost start,” Dumbledore said and walk away.
“C’mon, let’s go to the common room,” Harry said and we both walk to the Gryffindor common room.
We approach a room where up on a stairwell balcony Hermione and Ron are talking. They stop when they see Harry and I and lean over the railing.
“ All right there, Ron?” Harry asked
“ All right? You?” Ron asked
“ All right. Hermione?” Harry asked.
“ Never better,” Hermione smiled. “Fanny how about you?”
“I’m good,” I laughed.
Now we’re in the great hall. All students are seated, and green banners with snakes on them are around the ceiling. Dumbledore, at the head table, nods to McGonagall. She dings her glass and the chatter stops. Dumbledore rises.
“ Another year gone. And now, as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding, and the points stand thus. In fourth place, Gryffindor with 312 points. “ Everyone is clapping, but we hide our heads. “Third place, Hufflepuff, with 352 points. In second place, Ravenclaw, with 426 points. And in first place, with 472 points, Slytherin House.:
There is immense cheering.
“Yes, yes, well done Slytherin, well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account. And I have a few last minute points to award,” Dumbledore said.
The Gryffindor students look up.
“To Miss Hermione Granger, for the use of cool intellect when others were in great peril, 50 points.” Dumbledore said. Everyone is clapping.
“ Good job,” Harry pats.
“ Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley, for the best played game of chess,” Ron looks at me and mouths, 'Me?' I nod, and mouths, 'You!' “that Hogwarts has seen these many years...50 points. “Everyone is clapping.
“ And third, to Mr. Harry Potter, for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house 55 points,”Dumbledore said.
“And finally, it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends. I award 5 points to Neville Longbottom,” Dumbledore said.
“ We're tied with Slytherin!” Hermione said.
“And finally, to Ms. Fanny Peter, a courage to do something that she never does before, put others before she and a willing to sacrifice herself, 50 points,” Dumbledore said
Immense cheering erupts. Neville is unbelieving, and sits there while cheering gets louder. Draco is downfallen.
“ Assuming that my calculations are correct, I believe that a change of direction is in order,” he laps. The green banners change to Gryffindor red and yellow. “ Gryffindor wins the House Cup!”
All students stand and throw their hats into the air, except Draco, who smashes his down onto the table.
“ Neville!” Seamus shakes his hand.
“Good job Fanny,” Harry hugs me and I feel my cheeks turning red.
“Yeah, you too,” I said.
All rub each other's hair and jump around, cheering and laughing.
“ Yeah! We won!!” Ron said and jumps with Harry, who looks back and grins very widely.
We at the outdoor train station. Students are walking around, getting in the train.
“ Come on now, hurry up. You'll be late. Train's leaving. Go on. Go on. Come on. Hurry up,” said Hagrid.
Harry hands Hedwig to a train man, and walks to an open door of the train with Hermione. Hermione waves to Hagrid, who waves back. Hermione gets in the train.
“ Come on, Harry,” said Hermione
“ One minute,” Harry said he walks over to Hagrid.
I see Hagrid give Harry something. Harry walks back at us.
“What is it Harry,” I asked
Harry opens the album and sees a picture, moving, of him as a baby with his parents. They are all smiling and waving. Harry smiles.
“Awww!!!” Hermione said.
“ Feels strange to be going home, doesn't it?” Hermione said
“ I'm not going home. Not really,” Harry said
The train whistles and they climb aboard. As the train starts to leave and the camera pans up over the whole scene, we wave out the window to Hagrid, who waves back and then waves more to other students as the camera pans far back.
“C’mon, let’s go find a compartment,” Ron said.
At train we laugh, eat snacks, and talk about everything that is on our mind.
“Well, at least this summer, I will feel a less miserable than before,” Harry said.
“Why is that?” I asked. Hermione and Ron laugh.
“She has you leave next door Fanny,” Hermione said.
“For someone who always get a good grade, Fanny you’re not that bright,” Ron laugh. I nudge Ron.
“Thank’s Harry,” I said.
We finally arrive at King Cross station. Hermione says goodbye to us and run to her parents. Ron does the same thing.
“Harry, you want to join me and my grandma? We’ll drive you home,” I offer him.
“Mrs. Figg can drive?” Harry said.
“Yeah, she’s a very cool grandma,” I said.
“Cool. Ok, thank you,” he smiles.
“No problem,” I said and we both go to my grandma.
Then we drive back to Privet Drive. After drop Harry at the Dursley, we both go home. We arrived at home.
“So Fanny dear, you make a friend,” Grandma said. “How was school?”
“Grandma, you never gonna believe it. I will tell you the coolest thing that happen at this school year,” I smiled at my grandma.
“I miss to see you like this. Smile and laugh, excited,” my grandma kiss my forehead. “Now, tell me the story.”
I tell my grandma the story. We both laugh. She prouds of me for the things I did. It’s really been an unforgettable year. I can’t wait for my second year at Hogwarts.
