Chapter 9

The Philosophers Stone

{Name's Pov} 

"Thank god this plant was here" Ron smiled happily The plant began to snake around my legs and arms I looked at Harry and Ron "Stop moving, both of you. This is Devil's Snare. You have to relax. If you don't, it will only kill you faster." I spoke clearly relaxing into the plants grasp Hermione doing the same. "Kill us faster! Oh well now I can relax" Ron panicked and began thrashing violently, "Relax" I insisted as the plant pulled me down and I landed on some concrete Harry and Ron shrieked my name. "what are we gonna do?!" Ron questioned as Hermione got sucked down after me "Just Relax" I shouted up at the boys "where are you two?" Harry shouted, "Relax! Trust Me" Hermione shouted and soon enough Harry landed beside us. "Help!!" Ron shouted "He's not relaxing is he" I laughed and Hermione began to panic "we must do something" she insisted and I looked at her "Uh! I remember reading something in Herbology. Um, Devil's Snare, Devil's Scare, it's deadly fun...but will sulk in the sun! That's it! Devil's Snare hates sunlight!" I shouted as I took out my wand "LumusSolem!" I and Hermione shouted in unison and the plant recoiled dropping Ron to the floor with us. "Good thing we didn't panic eh?" he joked and Harry looked at him "more like good thing (name) pays attention in Herbology" he laughed at the Ginger. 

We advanced on, we entered a room full of golden keys with wings. "what curious-looking birds" Hermione commented "they're not birds they're keys" Harry looked up. Ron snuck over to the door and muttered "Alohomora!" he shrugged "it was worth a try" and I giggled at him Hermione began to rant about how it was hopeless before Ron butted in "We're looking for a big old fashioned one. Probably rusty like the handle." he concluded and I smiled "there it is" I pointed at a key and Harry glanced up at it and then at the broom "its too easy" he muttered "Oh, go on, Harry! If Snape can catch it on that old broomstick, you can! You're the youngest Seeker in a century!" Ron encouraged and Harry nodded and mounted the broom. Suddenly all they keys began flying at him "that surely complicates things" I laughed as harry tried to brush all the keys away chasing after the one he needed. He caught it and threw it at me I caught it and unlocked the door Me Hermione and Ron rushed through the door Harry following us and closed it just as the keys all hammered the door getting stuck in it.

 We entered a dark room and it genuinely looked like a graveyard "I don't like the look of this" Hermione whispered and I looked at her and nodded in agreement, "Is this a graveyard?" Harry questioned "No, its a chessboard" Ron sighed "Look there's the door" I pointed at it and the three looked, we walked across the board as we reach a line of pawns, the pawns bring up their swords we jumped back. "now what do we do?" Hermione asked and Ron looked at her "It's obvious, isn't it? We've got to play our way across the room. All right. Harry, you take the Bishop's square. Hermione, you'll be the Queen's side castle. (Name) you'll be the Queen. As for me, I'll be a knight" he stated and we all nodded taking our places. "now what?" Hermione questioned. "Well, white moves first, and then...we play" I answered and Ron nodded, "you don't suppose this is going to be like...real wizard's chess, do you?" Hermione spoke, "You there! D-5!" Ron commanded the pawn was smashed to pieces "Yes, Hermione, I think this is going to be exactly like wizard's chess!" I exclaimed looking at the now smashed up Pawn we continued through the game, " Castle to E-4!" Ron directed smash "Pawn to C-3!" Boom. We all studied the game "wait a minute" Hermione looked puzzled, "You understand right, Harry. Once I make my move, the Queen will take me...then you'll be free to check the King." Ron spoke clearly fear in his eyes, "No, Ron! No!" I shouted, "You can't, you'll be hurt!" I cried out "what is it?" Hermione Questioned "he's going to sacrifice himself!" Harry yelled over to her "There must be another way!" she shouted tears welling in her eyes "Do you want to stop Snape or not? Harry, it's you that has to go on. I know it. Not me, not Hermione, not (name), you. Knight...to H-3." Ron looked at Harry and he nodded, Ron's piece began to move "Check" he muttered The Queen turns and advances. Ron breathes faster, clutching the steel reins. The Queen stops. SMASH! Ron goes flying off the horse and lands on the floor, unconscious. "Ron!!" Harry shouted and Hermione went to move over to him "Hermione! no! we're still playing remember?!" I expressed loudly to her. Harry walks the diagonal in front of the King, "Checkmate!" The King's sword falls onto the ground victory. Harry breathes out and then the three-run over to Ron. They bend down beside him. Harry begins to speak "Take care of Ron. Then, go to the owlery. Send a message to Dumbledore. Ron's right...I have to go on." "I'll come with you!" I looked at him fixing my hair and he nodded, "You'll be okay, Harry. You're a great wizard, you really are." Hermione smiled up at him "not as good as you" he retorted "Me? Books and cleverness? There are more important things. Friendship, and bravery. And Harry, (Name) please, just be careful." She insisted and Harry and I  nodded standing up and making our way to the next room.
