-Author's Note-

All characters belong to JK Rowling expect Isabella and Joe. This is the rewritten verison of Chapter 8. 

Isabella entered the Great Hall and overheard the conversations between everybody.

“Did you hear, Longbottom, Malfoy, Hermione and Harry got a detention last night?”

She sat down next to Padma. Groaning at the talk between everybody. Everybody had heard about the events that had happened the night before.

After all her classes, she entered the library.

She sat next to Hermione, “Are you stupid? I told you not to do that and let me handle it.”

Hermione looked down again. “I know and I wish I had taken your advice.”

Isabella sat down next to her and put her arm around her shoulders. “I’m sorry for getting annoyed with you.”

Isabella and Hermione hugged each other.

They both sat there studying for the end of year exams. Later on that evening. Harry ran into the library, and walked over to them.

“I overheard Snape and Quirrell talking. More like Snape threatening Quirrell.” Harry quickly explained. Isabella rolled her eyes. “Harry get over this. Nothing is going on between them.” Isabella gathered her belongings and left the library in disgust at Harry’s obsession with Quirrell and Snape.

Hermione sat there with Harry and he explained his story to Hermione who listening intently. Afterwards they both left and went to their common room. That night they sat there discussing Harry’s story. Then when the clock struck at 11pm, Hermione, Harry and Neville went to their detention.

As they were roaming the Forbidden Forest, they saw a unicorn being feasted on by a black hooded figure. Harry tried to run away but the figure came towards him, he tripped as he ran. Suddenly Hagrid pulled Hermione and Harry away from the unicorn and shoved them behind him and off the path.

Hagrid pulled out his bow and was going to shoot an arrow when a couple of centaurs, arrived chasing away the black hooded being. Hagrid began trying to converse with them but they just started talking about the stars, instead.

Everybody walked away and towards the castle making small talk with each other. After the detention, Harry, Hermione and Neville went to back to their common room. Hermione and Harry were heatedly talking to each other about the Philosopher’s Stone and Voldemort.

-The Next Morning-

Isabella sat alone in the Great Hall since it was extremely early. Lightly she was drumming her fingers on the table which humming quietly to herself while she eat her breakfast and read her book. Dumbledore walked into the Great Hall and saw Isabelle sitting alone.

“Good Morning Miss Potter.” Dumbledore greeted her politely.

Her head sprung up and she replied “Good morning Professor.”

“The time is almost near to when your brother will need your help most.”

Isabella looked confused at Dumbledore’s statement but before she could ask a question he had already left. Puzzled by the conversation, she got up and went to try and find Harry or Hermione to see if anything had happened at their detention. Realisation struck her. She jogged down towards the Slytherin common room when she bumped into Draco.

“What happened last night?” She quickly asked him.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about Potter.” Draco replied.

Isabella raised her eyebrows and put her hands on her hips. Draco looked down and shuffled his feet nervously.
“Ok. We saw a hooded figure feeding off a unicorn. The figure came towards Potter.”

Isabella ran off before Draco could do anything. She ran into Harry and quickly said “Don’t do anything until exams are over. We need a plan and we need time for that.”

“What are you talking about?”

Both her eyebrows were raised and he realised what she was talking about.

“How do you know about that?” Harry asked surprised.

“I have contacts. Now don’t do anything stupid. I have spent months studying and I don’t want it to be a waste of time.”

Harry chuckled and replied “You and I both know every time you are studying with Hermione, she is the only one doing work because you are just reading different books.”

She rolled her eyes and walked off.

-After exams-

Isabella walked with Hermione, Ron, and Harry outside and they sat down by the lake. “Yay! No more revision”. Isabella exclaimed.

Ron looked happy and Hermione looked fairly relaxed too. Harry was rubbing his forehand.

“Harry are you alright?” Isabella asked.

“Yeh. My head hurts.” Harry replied.

“Go to Madam Pomfrey” Hermione said.

“The plan is ready whenever you are Harry” Isabella said.

Hermione looked dissatisfied at her response.

“But we don’t know how to get past Fluffy.” Harry said.

Isabella rolled her eyes and replied “Are you really that stupid? Just ask Hagrid. After all he knows.”

Harry leapt up and started to walk towards Hagrid’s hut. All of them followed him and entered the hut. They asked Hagrid a few questions about the dragon dealer but he didn’t give much away, until the end of the conversation.

All four of them quickly left Hagrid’s hut and went inside trying to find Dumbledore’s office. Isabella left the way and showed them where it was.

“We are looking for Professor Dumbledore” Isabella said.

“Why Miss Potter?” McGonagall asked.

“We think the Philosopher’s Stone is going to be stolen.” Isabella answered. The others looked at her shocked, she had given away their secret.

“How do you know about that? And Professor Dumbledore is away until tomorrow. He got an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic” McGonagall asked as all the books fell out of her arms.

The four of them quickly walked away and huddled in the Gryffindor common room talking quietly.

“We have to go there tonight.” Harry said.

“We can meet tonight outside at 11pm, everybody should be asleep by then. I know a few secret passages that we can go through so we don’t get caught by any teachers. I knew their night routines when they are patrolling.”

“Ok. Tonight we will meet at 11pm. Nobody can know what we are doing. This has be top secret.” Hermione said.

They agreed with each other and Isabella left the common room, and went back to Ravenclaw to think everything through.
