Hey guys! Sorry for the delay in the chapters. Hope you are enjoying the story. I changed Jose Miguel name to Joseph Christopher... So Joseph, Seph, Christopher or Chris are the same person that before today was Jose.Thanks for the support. Harry's Pov
Hermione was reading the riddle from Snape's challenge when I felt dizzy. Everything went in slow motion as I watched a figure walking out of me. That boy I had dreams with. Dopey Jr. Then he winked and disappeared.
Everything went to normal. Except that I felt different. Hermione then said " I got it." She gave me a potion but my mind was set on the thing that just happened. This was not voldemort.
Hermione had his own doubts about what would happen to me. She then said " Harry, you are a great wizard you know?".
" And I am not as good as you. " I answered. Then she let go and said "Me! Books! And cleverness! There are more important things -- friendship and bravery and -- oh Harry -- be careful!
" You drink first so you can help Ron. Are you sure this one is the right one? " I said.
She answered with a positive and she drank. After knowing that she went back I drank it. It was like ice flowing down my throat. I then went forward and saw someone I didn't suspected before. There he was, not Snape nor Voldemort. It was Quirrell.
Some feets from me was a body. I was afraid I came late. Her red hair spread on the floor. No movement. I ran to her as I screamed " You! You killed her. Anna please wake up sis."
"Relax boy! She is just sleep! And yes it was me. Who would thought that poor p-p-profesor Quirrell. Know how can I get the stone. Master what do I have to do?" Quirrell said.
My sister started to move. I hugged her. Then Quirrell looked at us and made an enchantment. Ropes fell from the roof and tied us down. Each time we fought to free ourselves the ropes would become tighter.
Anna's pov
I stopped fighting immediately and relaxed.
What Quirell didn't knew was that Harry gave me my wand. I then casted my invisible enchantment. The ropes disappeared and Quirell grunted in anger. I made my way to Harry and tried to free him. I failed to do so, I whisper at Harry that we would get out of this one.
I hide myself and waited for Quirell. Once again Quirell asked again "Master what should I do that stone is no where to be found." The a new wicked voice answered "Use the boy!"
" Potter come here! Tell me what do you see?" Then Harry said something about him and Dumbledore. Which from my perspective was a pretty bad lie. Then the scary voice screamed " He is lying! Let me speak to him!"
With panic in his face Harry watched Quirrell taking off his turbant. I made my way behind him. The view was horrible. In the bald back of the head of Quirrell was a face with red blood eyes, nostrils that look as the ones of a snake. His skin very white.
I was still bad from earlier and I just heard bits of conversation. Now harry screamed "Liar. My parents were very brave. I will never join sides with you!." The there was all still muted. Then Quirrell launch himself to Harry. I then revealed myself and covered Harry.
It wasn't enough though. He used both hands. I was in so much pain I almost fainted dead away. There was a sound that didn't go with the scene and it was Quirell's pain screams. I opened my eyes and I couldn't believe what I was watching.
When Quirrell attacked, I grabbed his hand when he touched me. He now didn't had hand because it turned to dust. When he touched harry or me, he would burn to dust. Harry the launched himself and touched Quirell's face. I helped him with his back and soon enough Quirrell was dust.
"Noooooo." the wicked voice screamed " You fools don't know what you are doing." I grabbed Harry's hand an put myself in front of him. Voldemort then as a spirit passed through us. He took some energy from us causing us to faint.
Before it all was black I saw that Harry had the stone. Now that Mavs is gone I couldn't go to the Isle of the lost. I thought I was waking up but instead of being at Hogwarts I was in a white room. I heard some footsteps behind me. I won't lie I was very scared. I decided to cut it and in a swift move I was watching the person that owned those steps.
Immediately I felt my knees drop. I started crying. Nothing that I did could stop me. There she was, the person I wanted to meet but never got the chance to. The woman I only imagined of but never saw til the mirror of erised.
"Mom" I whispered. I felt her arms hugging me and cuddling as if I was a baby. The warmness I dreamed of, I was feeling it now. She started to humm. It was so smoothing and after some minutes I didn't cried.
Finally she said " Hey baby, you know I have been taking care of you even if I am not there. You know I am here for you. I will not be able to see you some of the times."
I snuggled more and said " I know mommy, I just wish I could be more time with you. Harry also misses you. "
" Oh, baby! " she laughed " You both have a life ahead, even if dark times come, you need to see always the light. Live your life and open your eyes to love, be kind to others. But if you really want to know, when it is time you will be with me and your dad. "
I had a smile on my face. She is so beautiful. Soon enough she started to shine. She started to fade away and with one last hug she disappeared. Then I saw something it was far but as the seconds passed I could see it closer.
I then could saw it. A pair of beautiful green eyes where staring at me. "Seph?" I whispered. " Where am I? My head is killing me."
He answered " Shh, don't make too much movement. You are at the infarmary. Dumbledore found you, he was afraid he came too late. He destroyed the stone after talking with Flamel. He is coming to see you after he finishes talking with your brother. "
I didn't answer. I just sigh. It was all happening fast. The memories came flashing. Seph said goodbye and then Dumbledore enter.
He said "I am aware that Joseph told you about the stone." I nodded. "Well if you have any questions you can ask now." He finished.
"Sir, I just have one question, Why Quirrell could not touch us? I mean he was dust." I said. "Well, that's a hard question to answer. But it was your mom. When she died she gave you protection with the most powerful magic. Love. Everyone who is attempting to hurt you or Harry will be burned. Specially if it is someone who serves Voldemort." he said
" Thanks for the rescue professor. By the way about the nightmares I have, they won't happen again sir. You don't have to worry " I said. He just smiled and left. Then Pomfrey came with some medicine and told me that I could go to the feast. After the medicine I felt really good.
After some more resting I finally left the infarmary with Harry. As we made our way to the common room I told him about mom. He just smiled and enjoyed the story. When I entered all my gryffindor friends came. They were worried. They left for the feast leaving Seph and me behind.
He said " Hey, did you know that the others left. I mean Mav and Anderson." "Yes, we don't have to worry about that matter anymore." I answered as we skipped through the hallways making our way to the feast.
When we were there it was decorated with Slytherin colours. I wasn't happy about it but I was happy that we were alive. I could feel the stares. Someone had taken more points from Gryffindor. It all became more intense when Harry entered the room. Luckily Dumbledore came.
"Now, as I understand it, the house cup here needs awarding, and the points stand thus: In fourth place, Gryffindor, with two hundred and ninty two; in third, Hufflepuff, with three hundred and fifty-two; Ravenclaw has four hundred and twenty-six and Slytherin, four hundred and seventy-two."
A storm of cheering and stamping broke out from the Slytherin table. It was something very annoying to see. You could hear the frustration of the other houses.
"Yes, Yes, well done, Slytherin," said Dumbledore. "However, recent events must be taken into account."
The room went very still. The Slytherins' smiles faded a little.
"Ahem," said Dumbledore. "I have a few last-minute points to dish out. Let me see. Yes...
"First -- to Mr. Ronald Weasley..."
Ron went purple in the face; he looked like a radish with a bad sunburn.
"... for the best-played game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years, I award Gryffindor house fifty points."
Gryffindor cheers nearly raised the bewitched ceiling; the stars overhead seemed to quiver. Percy could be heard telling the other prefects, "My brother, you know! My youngest brother! Got past McGonagall's giant chess set!"
At last there was silence again.
"Second -- to Miss Hermione Granger... for the use of cool logic in the face of fire, I award Gryffindor house fifty points."
Hermione buried her face in her arms; Harry strongly suspected she had burst into tears. Gryffindors up and down the table were beside themselves -- they were a hundred points up.
"Third -- to Mr. Harry Potter... " said Dumbledore. The room went deadly quiet. "... for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house sixty points."
The din was deafening. Those who could add up while yelling themselves hoarse knew that Gryffindor now had four hundred and fifty two -- exactly twenty points down Slytherin. if only Dumbledore had given Harry and his friends more points.
Dumbledore raised his hand. The room gradually fell silent. His eyes glistening.
" To Anna Potter, for her excellent deductions and bravery. Twenty points. " he said winking at me. He knew, that old men knew that I had solve it. We had the same points as Slytherin. If just he had given me one point more.
Then he cleared his throat, and silence.
"There are all kinds of courage," said Dumbledore, smiling. "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. I therefore award ten points to Mr. Neville Longbottom."
Someone standing outside the Great Hall might well have thought some sort of explosion had taken place, so loud was the noise that erupted from the Gryffindor table. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood up to yell and cheer as Neville, white with shock, disappeared under a pile of people hugging him. He had never won so much as a point for Gryffindor before. Harry, still cheering, nudged Ron in the ribs and pointed at Malfoy, who couldn't have looked more stunned and horrified if he'd just had the Body-Bind Curse put on him.
Seph, Bella and me were cheering. The rest of the houses were smiling. Finally Slytherin was down.
"Which means," Dumbledore called over the storm of applause, for even Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were celebrating the downfall of Slytherin, "we need a little change of decoration."
He clapped his hands. In an instant, the green hangings became scarlet and the silver became gold; the huge Slytherin serpent vanished and a towering Gryffindor lion took its place. Snape was shaking Professor McGonagall's hand, with a horrible, forced smile. He caught Harry's eye. That man had new feelings for Harry and I didn't want to know now.
I just enjoyed the party cause soon we would be heading back to the Dursleys.

At the Isle of the lost.
Mal was in her room when suddenly a bright light appeared. She saw her sister stepping out the light. They hugged and Mavs said " Sister this life is over, I am staying here forever. Those stupid auradonians undid the spell." We hugged more and came out the room to tell mother.
For the first time she was her. When we told her she cried and hugged us. "My babies, I am sorry. I don't know what happens. It is like something bad takes over me and though I fight it.." she said.
"Don't worry mama, we understand." Mal said. Then we spent time with her telling adventures. She laughed and gave us advices. She was so caring and we cuddled. Then she warned us about herself giving us chance to go to our hideout.
All the VK except some like the sons of Gaston, had parents that would be good and then something would made them be bad. Some of us had made theories. One thing was sure, those villains who had been revived were more affected. Though we were pretty sure that Gaston was never good.
I felt it was up to me and the other twins that were gone to found out what happened to our parents. Without evidence, clueless and with our parents turned against us we will do what is necessary.
As weeks passed we started to build alliance and found enemies. We didn't found anything the weeks prior and honestly we were giving up the hope. Each of us knew the real story of our parents, and it was so frustrating that we could not do somethings.
Days became a routine, the investigation was forgotten and we were now used to all the mistreatment. To pass the days we sing songs and we study almost all week.

Anna's Pov
After the fest and the victory of Gryffindor, we made our way to the common room. Seph and I stayed a little longer. I told him what had happened and he was just listening. Seph then gave me my ukulele. I honestly thought I had lost it.
I started playing a tune that we both know so well. We were sitting by the fireplace, I was humming. I looked at his beautiful green eyes. Was it love? I honestly don't know. I put my head on his shoulder as I started to sing.
" Somewhere over the rainbow
way up high,
and the dreams that you dream of
once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
bluebirds fly
and the dreams that you dream of,
dreams really do come true
Someday I wished upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me "
Some of my friends and my brother had trouble sleeping because they were all together near us listening. Seph joined me as wi both finished the song.
" Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?
Well, I see trees of green and red roses too
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds
of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
And also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do?
They're really saying I, I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more then we'll know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why oh, why can't I?"
I then hummed til the end of the tune. After it I watched that all were asleep. Seph and I took them to their respective rooms with a little bit of magic. We then all slept. Tomorrow was going to be a new day full of surprises.
The next day I woke up fresh as a lettuce. I went to the bathroom and had a shower. As I made my way down my stomach made a sound. I was very hungry. After skipping through the empty halls, I finally entered the room full of breakfast smell.
When I was mid breakfast, the rest came looking relaxed. Seph took the sit next to me. I was waiting for the others when a letter fell in front of me.
The letter said :
Anna, I have to talk to you and Joseph. There is nothing wrong but nobody has to know about this. Please come to my office.
Professor Mcgonagall
After we ate our friends went to the common room because the grades where in the beds. We told them we would go in some minutes. After they were out of hearing range, I told Seph about the letter.
We both skipped quickly through the halls. Whatever it was, it sounded like she wanted us right now. We entered the office to be welcomed by a small smile.
She cleared her throat and told us to take a seat. " Well, I most say I am proud of you two. Your grades are perfect. There are other few that have good grades like you. I called you here cause we have to discuss a very important issue. How come you didn't tell me the nightmares where over?" I sigh, I thought she was going to scold us or something. She was quite serious when she asked.
" Well, I told Dumbledore professor and I kind of forgot. " I answered. Then Seph said " Yes and with the winning of Gryffindor, it made me forget all about that matter."
The professor smiled, she wasn't mad, just conserned. After we went through the door she said "By the way nice song you sang yesterday. " We giggled as we were red as a tomato. She winked at us and continued to sign the letters for the next year.
We made our way to the common room, today was our last day. Tomorrow we would go back to London, which was a shame. The rest of the day we packed and played with our friends. Night soon came and we fell asleep pretty easily.
Next morning we had a quick breakfast and made our way to the front door of the castle. The carriage carried us and our trunks to the train station. We were lucky to be early because we found a compartment with lot of space for all of us. I think we were like twelve.
The hole ride to London we laughed and sang. It was so refreshing to be with friends. This year had been quite different to the past ones. I do missed Emma, Austin, Sara and Ashley, but here at Hogwarts it felt like home. I couldn't stop thinking about mom and her advice.
Open you eyes to love she said. Was she talking about Seph? She also said about dark moments... Well I didn't had the time to think about it more because we were having such a great time. When the lady in the cart passed we were a laughing mess.
We laughed so hard that Christine and Victoria almost had an accident. I was so excited to se Emma. Who knows what the future holds. Hogwarts has truly changed my life for good. I stared at the window as we entered the station. The mother of the Weasley was waiting for her kids with her daughter. Sus was waiting Joseph.. All of the wozar families where there. I grabbed Jack and Christine and together went to the muggle station. I said hi to their parents while waiting for Harry, awhi came with the Weasley's and Hermione. Behind them was Sus.
After exchanging goodbyes and having a misunderstanding with the Dursleys, each of us went our separade ways. Ready to send our owls in order to stay in contact. As we made our way to Private Drive, I was wondering if the next term was going to be like this one.
We entered the house as it was very late. We went straight to our room before Uncle Vernon could say a thing. Then we went to sleep. After all the food we ate at the train, we were jaut tired.
