When we walked in the chamber we were surprised and shocked to find Professor Quirell standing before the Mirror of Erised.

"You!?"Harry and I staggered..

"Yes me!"He said calmy."I wonder whether I'll meet you Mr.Potters."

"But we thought Snape....."-HARRY

"Severus."he said but with his usual quivering voice but cold and sharp."Yes Severus he does seem as the type doesn't he?"

".....Next to him to him who would...st....stuttering poor Professor Quirell."

Harry and I were still confused. We still could not believe that he was the one trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone although we suspecting a couple of times.

"But during the Quidditch match Snape tried to kill us."I aforesaid.

"No I tried to kill you."Professor Quirell bellowed."Your friend Hermione Granger broke my concentration when she set fire at Professor Snape 's cloak but BELIEVE ME I WOULD'VE succeeded knocking you over your brooms even if Snape muttering the counter curse trying to save you."

"Snape was trying to save us!?"we said in unison.

"Of course."said Proffessor Quirell coolly."Why do you think he wanted to referee your next match. He wanted to make sure I don't do it again. Foolish of him I wouldn't have done it anyway with Professor Dumbledore watching. Everyone thought he was going to let Gryffindor lose the match. He quite made himself unpopular. What a waste of time and after all his attempts of trying to save you I'm still going to kill tonight."

Harry and I turned around and hastily rushed to the door but Quirell snapped his finger;fire came out of thin air and surrounded the chamber.

"Trying to escape Mr.Potters, I don't think so."

"You're too noisy to live Mr.Potters.Scurrying around the school hall like that on Halloween,for all I knew you and your little friends you did seen me to look what was guarding the stone.

"You let the troll in?"asked Harry.

"Obviously,I have special gift with trolls. Unfortunately,when everybody was running around looking for it, Snape, who already suspected me went to the third floor to halt me."

"Now wait Mr.Potters I will like to concentrate on this mirror."he said slowly.

"This mirror is the key of finding the stone."he muttered."I see myself with the stone.......I'm presenting it to my master.........but how do I get it?"

"Ask the boy."another voice hissed.

"Come over Mr.Potters."he snarled."What do you see?"

We closed our eyes,stepped in front of the mirror and opened our eyes. We saw our reflection but in a moment it smiled back at us. Harry 's reflection put it's hand on the pocket and took out a blood-red stone.

"Well.......what do you see?"said Professor Quirrell impatiently.

"We see ourselves shaking hands with Dumbledore."Harry aforesaid."We've won the House Cup."

"No he's lying."the same voice hissed.

"Tell me the truth!"Quirrell bellowed."What do you see!"

The high voice spoke again.

"Let me speak to him."

"Master you're not strong enough."

"I have strength enough... for... this"

We watched as Quirell reached up and unwrap his turban;he turned around slowly on the spot. We almost screamed. Where their should the back of the head their was a face-the terriblr face Harry and I have ever seen.
