Aurem Quattor: The Philosopher's Stone

by Isa Wilson

We all know the Golden Trio. But what if there were four? And the Fourth was an American witch all the way from New York, the first to be accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for 7 whole years? Meet Tess Crosswell, that American witch who is about to embark on a pretty big journey as she discovers where she belongs and who her friends really are.

25. The Verdict is Carried Out

Hey guys! First I want to say (cover your ears) I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER WHATSOEVER! ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE QUEEN HERSELF! Whoo!

You might have heard that this series was taken down because of "copyright issues" something about song lyrics. But this time, I will not post any song lyrics whatsoever. Before, I had just now deleted all song lyrics from the chapters containing them. I will mention song names, but not song lyrics. Wish me luck guys as I try to post this series again.

Things couldn't have been worse.

"Nothing." McGonagall said in her office, the quartet lined up in front of her scared out of their wits. Malfoy was smirking in a desk nearby. "I repeat, nothing, gives the student the right to walk about the school at night. "I'm disgusted. Five students out of bed in one night! I've never heard of such a thing before! You, Miss Granger, I thought you had more sense. As for you, Mr. Potter, I thought Gryffindor meant more to you than this. All three of you will receive detentions - yes, you too, Miss Crosswell, considering all the detentions you have had I thought some sense would be knocked into that American head of yours. No matter what's done is done. As punishment for your actions, fifty points will be taken from Gryffindor."

"Fifty?" Harry gasped - they would lose the lead, the lead he'd won in the last Quidditch match.

"Fifty points each," said Professor McGonagall, breathing heavily through her long, pointed nose. Things were getting worse. They were dead not from where they were standing, but because of the mere fact that they were breathing. "And to ensure it does not happen again, all five of you will receive detention."

That perked up Malfoy's ears. "Excuse me Professor, perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said the four of us."

"No you heard me correctly Mr. Malfoy." said McGonagall. "Honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. You will join your classmates in detention."

Malfoy's face was filled with horror while Harry smiled and Tess winked at him. At least one good thing came out of their social lives being flushed down the drain. In 7 hours, the entire House of Godric Gryffindor would find out that they were last in the lead for the House Cup. And it was all because of 4 first years.
