I am uploading this from my school computers. The next chapter will be the end of the sorcerers stone :D
REVIEW!
Chapter 10
Soon enough, Christmas Break was over and the castle was once again filled to the brim with students and staff.
One day, Harry came across another Dumbledore Chocolate Frog card and they put all of the pieces together. They now knew who (Snape) what (the Sorcerers Stone) where (third floor corridor) and why (who wouldn't want the Stone?) The only thing they didn't know was when.
Before they could figure out what to do, Harry's next Quidditch match was coming up, and Snape was refereeing. After his last match, in which Hermione and Ron had witnessed Snape cursing Harry's broom, none of them were too keen on Snape being anywhere near the pitch for this one.
But there was nothing they could do.
On the day of the match, everyone drew a collective sigh of relief as they noticed that Dumbledore had turned out for the event. They all knew that Snape couldn't try anything in front of Dumbledore.
So they settled back to watch the game.
But the game was ruined for them when Malfoy, their least favorite bully, came swaggering up, apparently having nothing better to do than antagonize innocent Gryffindors.
First, he picked on Neville, who was sitting right by Ron and Hermione.
Neville's response, while valient, was scoffed at by the pale blonde brat.
Ron said, "You tell him, Neville," still distracted by the game.
"Longbottom, if brains were gold, you'd be poorer than Weasley,and that's saying something." Malfoy continued to taunt.
Nerves already stretched thin on account of the Stone and Harry, Ron whiped around, snapping, "I'm warning you, Malfoy - one more word-"
He was cut off when Hermione shrieked, "Ron! Harry!-"
"What? Where?"
Harry had gone into a sudden and quite well- executed dive. Ron had to admire his friend's flying abilities.
"You're in luck, Weasley! Potter's obviously spotted some money on the ground!" Ma;foy chimed in.
Rage boiled in Ron. He may not have spent his whole life with them, but he was still a Weasley, no matter what. "Malfoy, you are a stupid idiotic spoiled brat with absolutely no concept of human kindness," Ron snapped at the boy, and punched him square in the nose, only holding back enough to not cause permanent damage.
Malfoy's shriek was drowned out by the roar of the crowd as Harry apperantly caught the snitch.
Gryffindor had won.
And Malfoy had a broken nose.
As Ron shook off his fist, he felt a feeling of satisfaction well up inside him.
When Harry came back to the Common Room after the game, it was with grim news. After doing a little bit of stalking, Harry had borne witness to a clandestine meeting between two of Ron's least favorite teachers. Snape and Quirrell.
Apparently, Snape knew how to get past all of the safeguards blocking the Stone from being stolen, except for the one devised by Quirrell.
He had been attempting to figure it out, but Quirrell didn't tell him. Based on what they knew of the timid professor, the Stone would not be safe for long.
But for the life of them, they could not think what to do about the matter, except encourage Quirrell.
So that was what they did.
Lame ending, I know. Please, review because they rock!
