Jack Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Stone and Norbert

Jack's POV

The Christmas holidays were over and Hermione was returning today. Harry went to the restricted section of the library without me. The night I had my nightmare and went to see Dumbledore. He and Ron told me they saw the mirror of Erised. Harry said he saw our parents and me, but my image was blurry. I just told him the mirror was probably dirty and he agreed.

Right now Harry and Ron were eating chocolate frogs trading cards. I still don't have one of Dumbledore. Hermione joined us and I gave her a hug as she sat next to me across from Ron while I sat across from Harry. "I got Dumbledore again, here you go Jack you said you were missing him right" Ron states handing the card to me.

But Harry snatched it from Ron's hand before I could take it. "Harry you already have one" I remind him in an annoyed tone.

"I knew I had read the name Flamel somewhere before, listen to this" Harry states looking at the inscription on the back of the card. "Albus Dumbledore Current Headmaster of Hogwarts. Is considered by many the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Grindelwald in , for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel. Dumbledore enjoys chamber music and ten pin bowling" Harry reads aloud.

"Of course, how could I have been so stupid. Wait right here" Hermione states before running off out of the great hall. Ron looks at Harry and I we just shrug our shoulders. Harry gives me the Dumbledore card and goes back to the other chocolate frogs with Ron. Hermione soon returns with a big old book.

"I had you looking in the wrong section, how could I be so stupid?" she starts dropping the book onto the table and sitting beside me. "I checked this out weeks ago with Jack for a bit of light reading" Hermione explains. That is when I recognized the book she had brought.

"This is light?" Ron asks bewildered.

While Harry asked "since when did you and Jack read together?" Hermione ignores them both as she flips through the book. I also choose to ignore them focusing on the book.

"Of course here it is" Hermione states.

"Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the philosopher's stone" I finish.

"The want?" Harry and Ron ask confused.

"Honestly don't you two read?" Hermione asks them.

"I thought only Harry and I could say things in unison" I grumble. "The philosopher's stone is a legendary substance with great power that can turn any metal into pure gold. Also produces the elixir of life, that will make the drinker immortal" I read aloud.

"Immortal" Ron says in awe.

"It means you'll never die" Hermione tells him.

"I know want it means" Ron states grumbling.

"The only stone currently in existence belongs to Mister Nicholas Flamel. I notorious alchemist who just celebrated his 665 birthday last year. That's want Fluffy's guarding on the third floor, that's want's under the trap door. The Philosopher's stone" Hermione reads then states.

"But want else is guarding it?" Harry asks. "Something that valuable has to have something more then just Fluffy guarding it" he states. The other two nod their heads in agreement.

"I say we ask Hagrid" Ron says and the other two agree.

"We'll go tonight and use mine & Jack's invisibility cloak, it should hide all of us" Harry tells us.

(night time)

We snuck out of the castle under Harry and my father's old invisibility cloak. All four of us did fit. Once out of the castle and out of it's view we took it off. Before running to Hagrid's hut and knocking on the door. "Hagrid" Harry says when Hagrid opens the door wearing oven mites and apron.

"Oh hello, sorry not mean to be rude, but I am in no fit state to entertain today" Hagrid says and starts closing the door.

"We know about the Philosopher's Stone" we all state.

"Oh" Hagrid says and lets us in I close the door behind us. While Hagrid goes and stocks the fire where there was a cauldron over it.

"We think Snape's trying to steal it" Harry states.

"We?" I ask annoyed as I never agreed it was Snape.

"Snape, blimey you're not still on about him are you" Hagrid says sitting down.

"Hagrid we know his after the stone we just don't know why" Harry states. I send him a silent glare while they all look at Hagrid.

"Actually we came to ask you something else Hagrid" I say.

"We were wondering who else Dumbledore trusted enough to protect the stone" Hermione says catching on. "Just their names nothing else" she tells him and we both smile.

"Well I guess there's no harm in you knowing their names" Hagrid says. "Let's see there's; Sprout, Flitwick, Quirrell and McGonagall" he says counting the off. "Who have I forgotten? Oh yes Snape" he finishes.

"Snape?" the others ask in shock.

"Yes he is one of the teachers protecting the stone so he has no reason to steal it" Hagrid tells them.

"He is right you guys" I tell them with a smile. "It would probably have been a waste of time right Hagrid" I state. "I bet only you know how to get past Fluffy" I say.

"That's right only Dumbledore and I know how to get past Fluffy" he states proudly. Suddenly there was a rattle from the cauldron over the fire. Hagrid goes to it and takes something out of it. Then places it and I see it is some sort of stone as we all gather around the table.

"Ah, Hagrid want exactly is that?" Harry asks.

"That's a" Hagrid starts to say when Ron cuts him off.

"I know want that is, Hagrid how'd you get one?" Ron asks.

"I won off a stranger I met down at the pub. Seemed glad to be rid of as a matter of fact" Hagrid replies. Just then it explodes and a baby dragon appears with a piece of egg shell on it's head still.

"Is that a dragon?" Hermione asks looking at Hagrid.

"That's not just a dragon, that's a Norwegian Ridge-back. My brother works with these in Romania" Ron explains.

"Isn't he beautiful?" Hagrid asks and the baby dragon turns to him. "Oh bless his soul he knows his mummy, hello there Norbert" Hagrid says patting it.

"Norbert?" Hermione asks.

"Well he's got to have a name don't he" Hagrid tells her. As he starts to tickle Norbert under the chin. I went tell him he shouldn't do that when Norbert spits a bit of fire at Hagrid's beard. "He'll have to be trained up a little of course" Hagrid tells us patting the fire out. "Whose that?" he asks looking out the window.

We all turn and see someone running back towards the castle. I would recognize that blonde hair anywhere "Malfoy" Harry and I state.

"Oh dear" Hagrid says and we leave quickly wishing him luck with Norbert.

"Hagrid's always wanted a dragon told me so when I first met him" Harry tells us as we enter the castle. He was holding our father's cloak over his arm.

"And worse Malfoy knows" Ron states.

"I don't understand is that bad?" Hermione asks.

"It's bad" I say gulping as McGonagall appeared in front of us with a smirking Draco Malfoy behind her.

"Good evening" she says before taking us to her office. We follow silently while Draco looks very pleased with himself. Little does he or we know he is also about to get into trouble too.
