SCARLET'S POV


It was dark, I was very tired and drousy. How long have I been asleep? hours? days? I don't know; what happened to the stone? did Voldemort get it?
No, he couldn't have. He was a spirit for freak sake; though I shouldn't doubt.
Finally I begin to feel my amrs and legs, I wiggle around and then
I slowly opened my eyes, closing them due to the light attacking my eyes. I reopened

them and blinked a couple of times before looking beside me and saw Harry in the bed next to me; already awake.
"Someone's finally up" He teased; I looked at him,
"Oh whatever Harry; you shouldn't talk" He laughs and I laugh along. The doors open in front of us as Dumbledore walks inside.
"Good afternoon Harry, Scarlet, ah, I see that you have some tokens from your admirers? " I looked over and saw a bunch
of cards, candies and stuffed animals. How I didn't notice before was beyond me. I looked back at Dumbledore,
"Admirers? " I asked; he nodded,
"What happened down in the dungeons between you two and Prof. Quirrel is a complete secret, so, naturally, the whole school knows. " I laugh at his humur
"Ah I see Ron has been into the chocolate frogs" We both look over at Harry's table that was full of food and candies and we saw that one chocolate frog wrapper was opened. Oh Ron.
"Wait Ron was here? how is he? is he alright? what about Hermione and Kirsten?" Harry asked; Dumbledore smiled
"Fine, they're all fine " Harry and I relaxed in our beds, then a thought came into my mind,
"But, what happened to the Stone? " I asked
"Relax, dear child. The stone has been destroyed. My friend Nicholas and I had a little chat and agreed it was best all around. " Harry
looked at him,
" But Flamel, he'll die, won't he? " Dumbledore nodded
" He has enough Elixir to set his affairs in order. But yes, he will die " I frowned, Harry then looked at him once again,
" How is it I got the Stone, sir? One minute I was staring in the mirror, and the next... " he chuckled,
" Ah. You see, only a person who wanted to find the Stone, find it, but not use it, would be able to get it. That is one of my more brilliant ideas. And between the three of us that's saying something " we both smiled at him, then I looked at him,
" Does that mean, with the Stone gone, I mean, that Voldemort can never come back? " he looks at me and sighs,
" Ah, I'm afraid there are ways in which he can return, Harry, Scarlet, do you know why Prof. Quirrel couldn't bear to have you touch him?"
we both shook our heads,
" It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you, and that kind of act leaves a mark " Harry points to his scar but
Dumbledore shook his head,
" No, no, this kind of mark cannot be seen. It lives in your very skin " He said,
"What is it then? " We asked; he looked at both of us,
" love Harry and Scarlet, love " wait, what does he mean by my mom saving me and sacrificing herself?
" Prof. Dumbledore? what do you mean my mom sacrificed herself for me? " he looked at me and gave me a sad smile,
" I'm afraid that I cannot tell you, there are some things that I am not supposed to tell you because it is not my thing to say, and
these are one of these times " I looked down and nodded, he touched my shoulder and I looked up,
" but don't worry, someday you will understand it " I smiled and nodded before he looked over at my table and picked up some
Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans,
" Ah. Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. I was most unfortunate in my youth to come across a vomit flavoured one, and since then I have lost my liking for them. But I think I could be safe with a nice toffee..." he took one and put it in his mouth,
" Mm. Alas. Earwax. " he then got up and left.

Harry and I are walking together in the hallway when we spot Ron, Hermione and Kirsten on the staircase, fighting, again. The usual. They all look over and stop once they see us.
"All right there, Ron? " We ask; he looks at us,
"All right? You? " we both shrug,
" Allright, Hermione? Kirsten? " they both smile and say,
" Never better "

We are in the great hall, waiting to see who won for the house cup, which is Slytherin, lovely. Dumbledore raises his hand and
we all stop and listen,
" Another year gone. And now, as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding, and the points stand thus. In fourth place, Gryffindor with 312 points. " we slowly clapped, this is embarrasing. People around us glared because they knew that we were the reason that they lost.
" Third place, Hufflepuff, with 352 points " we clap,
" In second place, Ravenclaw, with 426 points. " we once again, clap,
" And in first place, with 472 points, Slytherin House. " there is a lot of cheering, but I'm not one of them. Malfoy looks at me and smirks,
I look at him and sarcastically smile back while flipping him off, his face was pricless!, then Dumbledore speaks again,
"Yes, yes, well done Slytherin, well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account. And I have a few last minute points to award " we all look up,
" To Miss Hermione Granger and Miss. Kirsten Evens, for the use of cool intellect when others were in great peril, 50 points. " we all clapped,
" Second to Mr. Ronaled Weasley, for the best played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years...50 points. " we
all chear once again,
" And third to Mr. Harry Potter, for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house 50 points " we all clap,
" but,it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends. I award 10 points to
Mr. Longbottom " we all chear again Hermione and I look at everyone,
"We're tied with Slytherin! " they look at us, really happy,
" And finally, for a person who not only sticks to their friends no matter what! but who also shows the characteristics of a true
Gryffindor! I award Miss Scarlet Jones, 50 points" we all clap really loudly,
" Assuming that my calculations are correct, I believe that a change of direction is in order. " he then claps and the banors turn
from the Slytherin symbols to the Gryffindor symbols. We all scream and cheer, I look over at Malfoy, he looks at me and I smirk and
wave at him, he glares and puts his head down on the desk. I was then picked up by someone and was spun around in the air, I
look down and its Semous!,
" Yeah! we won! " I laughed and giggled as he spun me around, that is, until he realized what he was doing, he quickly put me down
and blushed,
" Sorry " and he ran away. Oh well, I liked it.

We are boarding the train, leaving Hogwarts for our first year, I'm going to miss this place, Hagrid calls both Harry and I over, but Hermione pulled us back,
" Come on, Harry, Scarlet" we looked at her,
"One minute" we then both walked over to Hagrid,
" Thought you were leaving without saying good-bye, did yeah? " he then gives something to Harry and I, I look at it and realize that it was
a picture of Seamus and I when he was hugging me off the ground at the house cup, I blushed and looked at him, but he only winked at me.
I looked at Harry and saw that it looked like a picture of two people who looked really in love, wait, is that, Harry's parents? I think it is!
Harry and I looked at Hagrid,
"Thanks Hagrid " We both say in sync; hugging him in the process.,
"Oh. Go on...on with you " but before we went, he stopped Harry,
"Oh by the way Harry, if that dolt of a cousin of yours, Dudley, gives you any grief, you could always, um, threaten him with a nice pair of ears to go with that tail of his. " Harry and I both gasp, even though I don't even know who this 'Dudley' is,
"But Hagrid, we're not allowed to do magic away from Hogwarts. You know that. " he chuckled and leaned in,
"I do. But your cousin don't, do he? Eh? Off you go. " we both smile, Hagrid was pretty cool.
"Okay, bye Hagrid " he smiles and waves as we walk back over to the gang, we then got on the train as it started to move. We all look
outside at the castle, Kirsten looks at us,
" Feels strange to be going home, doesn't it? " Harry looks at us,
" I'm not going home. Not really " we all smile at him and sit down in a compartment as we watch the trees go by, but waiting, curiously
waiting, for what our summer will bring us.
