Enemies inlove (Hiatus)

Chapter 12: Nicolas Flamel?

Hermione.

"He's doing something—jinxing the broom!" I said while looking at Harry who is barely hanging at his broom. "What are we gonna do?" Neville asked. I smiled. I got this.

"Leave it to me." I said as I gave him the binoculars I walked down the stand into the opposite side of it. I stood behind where Snape is seating and I enchanted some words. Snape's robe was now caught on fire I returned to the stand and watched the game.

"I've got the snitch!" He said then he waved it up above his head. Gryffindors cheered, we have won by 170 by 60 points.

We walked back to the common room, The four of us were invited to tea in Hagrid's hut. So we walked to the edge of forbidden forest. Harry and I well, as always argued on the way there. He didn't believe me when I told him that I saw Professor Snape do it. But why?

"I told you! I saw him do it!"

"It's impossible!"

We were talking about Snape. When we reached Hagrid's hut he made us a strong tea. I tried to drink it but it's too strong. Nobody decided to break the ice till Neville did. "It was Snape." Neville explained. "Hermione and I saw him, muttering he wouldn't keep his eyes off you." He described, Padma and Harry though was deep in thought.

"Rubbish!" Hagrid exclaimed, "why would Snape do something like that?"
The four of us looked at each other. "I found out something about him." Harry told Hagrid, "he was trying to get pass the three headed dog in Halloween. Along with Professor Quirell but it bit him. I think he was trying to steal whatever it's guarding."

We all looked at Hagrid when he dropped the teapot. What's with the reaction? "How did you know about Fluffy?" He asked. I chuckled. Who would name a that Fluffy? "Fluffy?" Seriously? That dog is not a fluffy one.

"Yeah he's mine I bought him off a Greek chappie I met in the pub last year I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the—"

"Yes?" Harry asked eagerly, why is he interested in this? "Now don't ask me anymore!" Hagrid said gruffly. "That's top secret, that is."

"Okay. Let's go back to Snape." I said. "So why did he just try and kill Harry!?" I said then I hit the table in front of us spilling the tea. "Is he workinh with Quirell? To bring back the dark lord?" I asked once again, the half-giant was red in anger. "He did not!" Hagrid said, "he is not working with you-know- who." my anger is starting to show. I'm really mad at him for not believing in me.

"I know jinx when I see one Hagrid I've  read all about them! You've gotta keep eye contact and Snape wasn't blinking at all!" I said. Harry was now holding me.

"Calm down, Hermione." Harry said, I glared at him. "I am not calming down!" I yelled and I breathed heavily. He sighed and pulled me down. He almost tried to kill him. What if he got injured?

"Calm down, okay."

"I'm telling you your wrong!" Hagrid said hotly. "I don't know why Harry's broom acted like that but Snape wouldn't try to kill a student! Now listen to me four of you, your meddling in things that don't concern you. It's dangerous. You forget that dog and you forget what it's guardin' that's between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel."

"Aha!" Harry said, "so there's someone called Nicolas Flamel involed, is there."

A quick idea was in my head, "Nicolas Flamel is the owner of the philosoper's stone!" I whispered to Padma, now we have an Idea on which book to look at for information.

"It's been nice here Hagrid, but I think it's best if we head out." Neville said, "it's already getting dark." He said looking out. "I agree." Padma said, "thank you Hagrid, goodbye." She said, I bowed a little as I followed Padma and Neville out the door, Harry was soon following us. "Okay, I know you two have an idea on what's going on. Now tell us, what the heck is going on?" Harry said. Padma and I looked at each other. "We need to go to the library first to find the book we need."

"I knew it!" I said as I read the book. "The one that they are hiding in there is the elixir of life or the philosoper's stone, Nicolas Flamel must've entrusted it to Dumbledore to hide it from Voldemort, but Quirell and Snape are trying to get it from him." I said, Harry looked at me. "Now it makes sense!" Padma said, as she paced through the library. "They are trying to bring back You-know-who."

Harry looked at the nearest painting. "May you please call the Grey Lady?" He asked, "We have some questions that needs answering." The painting nodded. After a minute, the Grey lady then appeared.

"Yes my champion? What do you need assistance?" She asked. Why did she call him her champion? "The floor where the stone is hidden? Professor Quirell is trying to get the stone for his master. What shall we do?" Harry asked, The Grey Lady looked at him. "My first thought is to tell the headmaster, but he doesn't seem to mind to employ a person that posses Voldemort on his back, though you must tell the deputy headmistress she will certainly know what to do." Helena's words was enough for us.

"Thank you Lady Helena for that advice, we must go to her at once." Harry said as he bowed  little. I looked at the three of them as we all silently agreed to go to the headmistress this once.

"And has this been confirmed Mister Potter?" After we told everything to Professor McGonagall she seems to know what to do. "I will certainly bring this matter to the board at once, I will call an emergency meeting."

"Thank you Professor McGonagall, I do hope that this case will be closed at once." Neville said, I smiled. "Good evening Professor."
