The Smartest Witch (Book 2)

The Events of Year 1

Ember Lovet

Event 1

"Hey where the bloody hell is Hermione?" I nearly shouted to Ron and Harry and they looked at me apologetically.

"Uh sorry Em we got into a bit of a fight she's hiding out in one of the bathrooms."

I wack them over the back of the head and them yelp in pain, and I hear a deep chuckle from across the room my eye catches the person just barely but I say nothing.

The doors around this moment flew open and in ran Professor Quirrell, "Troll! A troll has escaped the dungeons!"

Something was off about that, it wasn't hard to tell of course and everyone started running and shouting and I looked over watching Snape run out a side door. I knew it was more then a coincidence and Quirrell had just left himself which for certain met something wasn't right.

I followed him not closely but followed him all the way to the 3rd floor which was banned of course to students, and I watch Snape follow Quirrell in and then it began.

Everything went slightly crazy Snape and Quirrell argued and suddenly Fluffy was about to reach out and bite Snape but I immediately shot stupefy and the dog passed out.

The two turned to look at me and they knew they'd been caught, Quirrell suddenly ran out the door and Snape walked over to me looking at me carefully trying to figure out the right words.

"No one can know you were here." Is all he said.

Event 2

I had a habit of sneaking around the castle at night now watching Quirrell for I didn't trust him anymore, and I wasn't the only one.

He was no where to be found and that made me suspicious that was until I peaked my head around the corner and saw them, Snape was arguing with Quirrell about not trusting him anymore. That's when Snape paused and he looked to his side, and reached foreword but nothing was there.

I used my telepathy to listen and heard Harry's thoughts and rolled my eyes. "Idiotic Gryffindors." I said under my breath.

Filch came out from around the corner holding up a broken lamp, "It's still hot which means there's a student out of bed."

Being me I came out from around the corner, Harry hadn't left yet he was still watching and I flicked my wand towards him his invisibility cloak coming off.

"It's Harry's." I say simply, and he glares at me to which I shrug.

"20 points from Gryffindor." Snape says and Flich directs him to bed to this Quirrell took his chance to run, and that's what I wanted.

I followed him, and Snape nearly missed it but he saw it and followed to. Quirrell once again headed for the third floor. I muttered a locking spell and the door locked. Quirrell kept trying to unlock it but he couldn't figure it out to which he gave up and left to come back later, I unlocked the door when he was out of sight and turned to Snape who had followed.

"Are you going to take 20 of my points too?"

He rolls his eyes, "Would it do me any good?"

"No, you'll just give them back to me in potions tomorrow for being the only one to brew it correctly."

He sighs again, "Come I think we should have a chat."

To which I followed him to his private chambers, this would be interesting.

Event 3

Harry, Ron, and Hermione weren't far behind me but no one knew I was there anyway. Snape told me everything and the spells to just get to where I needed to go. That wasn't hard either, Quirrell was ahead of me but not far.

He stood before the Mirror of Erised and Voldemort was literally on the back of his head which was kind of repulsive but I didn't say anything.

I stepped aside quietly in the shadows watching the little endeavor of Harry and Quirrell. Harry tried to push him away his hands on his face nothing happened and I knew what to do murmuring some firey incantations as Harry started to burn Quirrell.

Harry passed out and I brought him and the other two to the Hospital Wing, of curse Dumbledore and Snape where waiting.

I later found out that Dumbledore told Harry that it was "The love in his veins" that made him burn Quirrell. Though I don't know why he lied, I wasn't going to question it.

What was more important is the fact that Dumbledore told me "He knew". Voldemort indeed knew it was me, what would happen alter because of this would be something not many could imagine.

Author Note: The Story truly begins at Year 4 but for now you can enjoy the events leading up to the most crazy things.
