Harry and Isabella Potter & the Philosopher's Stone

Chapter 9 - Nicholas Flamel

After that wholesome Quidditch match of Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, we went to Hagrid's Hut to celebrate. There, Ron and Hermione told us that it was Professor Snape who was the one that jinxed my broom.

"Rubbish," said Hagrid, who hadn’t heard a word of what had gone on next to him in the stands. "Why would Snape do somethin' like that?"

Harry, Ron, Draco, Hermione and I looked at one another, wondering what to tell him. Harry decided on the truth.

“I found out something about him." he told Hagrid. “He tried to get past that three-headed dog on Halloween. It bit him. We think he was trying to steal whatever it’s guarding.”

Hagrid dropped the teapot.

"Who told you about Fluffy?!" he said. I snorted.

"Fluffy?" I asked.

“Yeah — he’s mine — bought him off a Greek chappie I met in the pub las’ year — I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the —”

“Yes?” said Harry eagerly.

“Now, don’t ask me anymore,” said Hagrid gruffly. “That’s top secret, that is.”

“But Snape’s trying to steal it.” we all protested in unison.

"Rubbish," said Hagrid once again. "Snape's a Hogwarts teacher, he'd do nothin' about it."

"Then why would he try and kill Bells?" asked Draco.

The afternoon’s events certainly seemed to have changed his mind about Snape.

“I know a jinx when I see one, Hagrid, I’ve read all about them! You’ve got to keep eye contact, and Snape wasn’t blinking at all, I saw him!” said Hermione gruffly.

“I’m tellin’ yeh, yer wrong!” said Hagrid hotly. “I don' know why Izzy’s broom acted like that, but Snape wouldn’ try an’ kill a student! Now, listen to me, all three of yeh — yer meddlin’ in things that don’ concern yeh. It’s dangerous. You forget that dog, an’ you forget what it’s guardin’, that’s between Professor Dumbledore an’ Nicolas Flamel —”

“Aha!” said Harry and I, “so there’s someone called Nicolas Flamel involved, is there?”

Hagrid looked furious with himself.

"Well?" said Ron eagerly. "What now, Hagrid?"

Hagrid fumed.

"A'right! You go now an' get some rest. Don' you ever go meddlin' about Fluffy, Snape, or even Nicholas Flamel or you'll break school rules! Now, shoo!" said Hagrid who was poorlessly trying to hold his breath.

All of us left Hagrid's hut and went to the Common Room.

"Why would Severus do something like that?" said Draco.

"I dunno Drake. I dunno." I replied.

"Isn't he your godfather, Draco?" asked Ron. Draco nodded.

We reached the Gryffindor Tower quickly and said the password.

"Pig Snout," I said.

The Fat Lady in the portrait smiled and said her congratulatory speech and let us in. Inside the common room were students dancing and cheering happily.

"Look there they are!" said Dean Thomas.

"Three cheers for Izzy and Harry Potter and for Draco Malfoy also!" someone I do not know exclaimed through the raging students.

"Hooray!" everyone said.

All of us looked at one another and smiled. This wouldn't be a boring day afterall.
