Sorry again guys! College takes up a lot more time than I thought! Thanks to everyone who stayed with me so far and thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 35: Flamel, Fluffy, and Flying

"Who is Nicholas Flamel?" Sade asked Dumbledore. She had gotten tired of looking for the answer so she had marched up to the Headmaster's office and asked him.

Dumbledore's eyes sparkled. "Sade, why are you so curious about my old friend?"

"Oh no reason." Sade replied, smiling. She remembered where she had heard his name before. "Thank you for seeing me before you left!"

"I'll see you tomorrow at the Feast, my dear. I have to deal with whatever the Minister needs me for."

As the little girl hurried away, Dumbledore smiled and shook his head. That girl could find trouble anywhere.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"The Sorcerer's Stone. That's what Fluffy is guarding?" Harry questioned. "What is it?"

"It makes someone immortal." Sade replied simply. "You drink the stuff that comes from it and it keeps you alive. And we know someone who would want that more than anything in the world."

"Voldemort." Harry stated.

Sade nodded. "We can't let him get the Stone Harry."

"What do we do?" Harry questioned. "Someone tried to steal it once already and I'm willing to bet that it was him."

Sade stared at her brother for a few seconds.

"We're going to steal it first."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Sade!" Harry whisper-yelled. He was following behind Sade, who was scurrying down the dark corridor. "This is a terrible idea. We don't even know how to get past Fluffy and there could be something worse after him!"

"Harry." Sade said, stopping to face him. "If you don't want to do this, go back. I'm not letting Voldemort get the Sorcerer's Stone and becoming invincible."

She started back down the corridor with Harry on her heels. She turned down to go to the dungeons. She knocked on the portrait of the Slytherin Common Room. Luckily, Draco answered.

"Sade!" Draco said, surprised. "What are you doing here…with Potter?"

Sade hugged Draco hard. "I'm doing something really, really stupid."

"I'll come with you." Draco replied without hesitation.

Sade shook her head. "Harry and I are doing it. I just wanted to tell you."

"Why does it sound like you're saying goodbye?" Draco asked, his voice quivering.

Sade laughed sadly. "I might be. I really don't know what I'm doing. But you have to stay. If we aren't back within a few hours, tell my father and Dumbledore, when he returns, that we went to see Flamel."

Draco hugged his best friend and watched her walk away. He felt tears going down his cheek and wiped them away. 'She'll be fine.' He told himself. He just hoped he wasn't lying.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Sade and Harry had reached the door that was hiding Fluffy. Sade turned to her brother.

"Harry, there's a chance that Voldemort is already down there. Dumbledore left tonight on an urgent call from the Minister. It's the perfect opportunity." She paused. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"He killed my parents." Harry stated bluntly. "I'm not going to let him gain his power back."

He took Sade's hand and they entered the room. Fluffy was already asleep, by way of a harp. Sade hurried to the trap door and flung it open. They stood over the open hole and stared down into the blackness.

"This is it." Sade said. "Someone's already down there."

"Voldemort?" Harry asked.

Sade nodded.

"The music stopped." Harry noticed, just as Fluffy roared.

Sade shoved Harry down the hole and jumped in after him. They could hear Fluffy snapping at the door. Sade tried to cast a Cushioning Charm before they landed but she couldn't. They landed on something soft and damp. Sade tried to jump up and get away from it immediately but had no luck. The Devil's Snare wrapped around her legs and began working its way up. Sade struggle to see Harry, who was already waist deep in the deadly plant.

"What do we do?" He gasped out. "What is this?"

Sade didn't reply but she waved her wand and muttered a spell. Flames shot from her wand and the plant dropped her. She aimed for Harry and repeated the spell.

"Well that was unexpected." Harry whispered.

Sade shook her head. Her brother was a bit daft. "Harry, Fluffy isn't the only thing guarding the Stone. It's really important and we're going to have to fight through a lot of stuff."

They walked down the dark stone corridor and reached a door.

"Ready your wand Harry." Sade said. After he had, they entered the room.

There were flying keys everywhere and two brooms hovering a few feet away.

"So we catch the key to that door." Sade inferred, pointing to the door across the room. "It seems too easy, with how slow the keys are flying. I guarantee that something is going to happen when we touch that broom."

"Which key is it?" Harry asked, staring around the room. There were at least a few hundred winged keys fluttering around the room.

Sade went to the door and looked at the keyhole. "I'm not sure but it'll be bigger and silver."

She looked around the room and being the Seeker she was, she spotted it within a few seconds.

"That one there." She exclaimed. "With the broken wing."

"Let's do this." Harry said, jumping on a broom at the same time as Sade.

The keys went berserk. The silver one they needed fluttered away from them as the rest flew at them and tried to disorient them. Sade and Harry darted after it, swatting at the other keys. Soon they caught up with it and tried to corner it. It sped towards the floor and Sade followed. The key flew closer and closer to the ground. Sade snatched a second before she crashed to the ground but she was bucked off her broom and rolled across the floor. Harry flew to her and quickly unmounted his broom.

"Are you okay Sade?" Harry questioned, helping her to her feet.

"I'm fine, let's go." Sade replied, running to the door. She unlocked it and they went into the next room. As they walked forward, lights began turning on. The lit up a big board. A chess board.

Harry and Sade groaned.

"I'm rubbish at chess." They stated simultaneously.

"How are you rubbish at chess?" Harry asked, startled. "It's a mind thing and you're great with that stuff."

"I never really liked it." Sade admitted. "But maybe we can work together and win."

They took their places and the match began.

Sorry it's been so long again. Only a few chapters left! I'm going to write the next one right away and hopefully have it up today or tomorrow! Please review!
