Azul Black and the Sorcerer's Stone

Chapter 10

ok, ok I haven't been updating any of my stories lately but please forgive me I've got stuff going on and finals and the flow of ideas has been disrupted by math equations and English papers. Any and all ideas are appreciated to get me back up and running 

Malfoy couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that Harry and Ron were still at Hogwarts the next day, looking tired but perfectly cheerful. Indeed by that morning the boys, along with myself, thought that our meeting with the three-headed monster of dog had been an excellent adventure, and unfortunately it seemed that Unlike me, the two of them were quite keen on having another. In the meantime, Harry filled Ron in about the package that Harry speculates has been moved from Gringotts to Hogwarts, and they spent a lot of time wondering what could possibly need such heavy protection. I don't quite understand why such a small package would be so important, or how my brother came to the conclusion that that is what resides under Hermione's ever so cleverly spotted trap door.

And so I listened in while my head lay in its usual place between my arms. Because unlike them I was in no way awake.

"It's either really valuable or really dangerous," Ron spoke up.

"Or both," Added Harry, his hair still as messed up as always.

"Alright then," I turned my head in my folded arms without actually lifting it up, "what sort of dangerous, Mysterious object do you know of that's approximately two inches long, because besides from that we have no clue as to what it could be or its importance."

Alright I admit I was curious, though neither Neville nor Hermione showed the slightest interest in what lay underneath the dog and its trapdoor. Actually all my Herbology loving friend cared about was never going near the dog again.

Hermione, who was now ignoring Harry and Ron, didn't quite seem to understand that to them this was more a saving grace than a punishment. I spent most the next while brainstorming with Peeves on how to get back at Draco for the stunt he pulled, trying to get my brother expelled, I no longer doubted what Neville told me about the Malfoys on the train. They really can't stand not getting things their way.

And to my great delight, alongside the joy of My brother and his freckled best friend, the opportunity to get Draco a taste of his own medicine arrived in the form of a package a week later.

As the owls flooded into the Great Hall as usual, everyone's attention was caught at once by a long thin package carried by six large screech owls. I was just as interested at everyone else, forgetting the plate of bacon in front of me, and was quite amazed when the parliament of owls soard down and dropped it right in front of my ever astounded brother. The end of it sat just to my right, nearly knocking my bacon to the floor. Once delivered and their job was done the six large owls fluttered out of the way, just as another smaller owl dropped a letter on top of the parcel.

I quickly advised Harry to look at the letter first, which he ripped more than opened, as it was the polite thing to do and it was lucky that he did because reading it over his shoulder it said:



HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE.

It contains your new Nimbus Two Thousand, but i don't want everybody knowing you've got a broomstick or they'll all want one. Oliver Wood will meet you tonight on the Quidditch field at seven o'clock for your first training session.

Professor M. McGonagall

Harry was obviously having difficulty hiding his glee as he handed the note to Ron so he can read.
