Demetry Dragonheart The Wizard Book 1

Chapter 7

Soon the Christmas break had ended and spring was starting to come around. Harry, Ron and Demetry were sitting in the common room, waiting for some of their friends to arrive as the train would be back today to end the break. Ron was having the tables turned on him in a game of wizards chess against Demetry. Harry simply watched in interest. They had each only made two moves and Ron was already in a tight spot. Demetry was about to make a critical move when the door to the common room swung open. Hermione immediately dropped her bags and stomped straight in the path of the three boys.

"You were right! She figured it out!" Ron said as he moved out of the way of an enraged Hermione.

Demetry stood up and Hermione instantly slapped him on his shoulder with a news paper.

"Ouch, Hermione."

"Shut it." Demetry was interrupted as Hermione hit him again and opened the newspaper.

The headline read

"Dragon under imperious curse kills many."

The newspaper went on to explain the details of the attack along with the names of the deceased which included Demetry's parents as well as the death eater who died shortly after the event.

"Whats wrong with you?! How long did you really think you could keep this from me?! Why didn't you tell us. You can tell us anything we're your friends."

"I haven't talked to anybody since it happened and I guess I just didn't know how to say it to you guys."
Demetry said slowly.

"Well I'm glad you told them at least, but I'm still mad I had to find out on my own. And what if you didn't say anything. Poor Harry would have been all alone." Hermione continued to reprimand Demetry, this time in a more considerate Manor.

"Well actually Hermione I'm okay with..." Harry was interrupted as his eyes met Hermione's glare that told him to shut his mouth.

"Who have you been staying with? Do you have any other family?" Hermione asked.

"I don't. I guess I've been staying here at Hogwarts. Dumbledore has been made my legal guardian but you know how busy he gets."

The three nodded as they listened to their friend and they knew how busy Dumbledore was.

Hermione hugged Demetry suddenly. Causing Harry to smile and Ron to lurch as if he was about to throw up. Demetry simply stood there shocked before hugging back.

"We're friends officially now. All of us." Hermione said turning to the rest of the group. Harry smiled and nodded and Ron agreed after a nudge from Demetry.

Soon the three boys were gathered in the library doing some studying. Hermione suddenly walked over to the group with a huge book and plopped it on the table. Harry jumps not realizing he had fallen asleep while reading.

"I had you looking in the wrong section! How could I be so stupid? I checked this out a few weeks ago for a bit of light reading."

"That's light reading?" Ron said staring at the book.
Hermione glares but continues.

"Of course! Here it is! "Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone! See Demetry I told you I'd find it first. Point Hermione." Hermione said smugly.

"Well I just got ahead from today's potion class for tomorrow. Point Demetry." Demetry countered with a smirk.

"You mean the potions class where you lost us five house points for being late while I got us house points this morning in Professor McGonagalls class.
I believe that's another point for me."
