9. Nicolas Flamel

**Fred's POV**

It's time for the library. That also means more time with 'Mione. Once I got to the library, I saw 'Mione in the biology section. So, I set my things a side and went behind 'Mione without her noticing. I then looked over behind her shoulder and said " Hey 'Mione. Ready to look through some books?"

She turned around quickly and jumped a little and said "Fred! Don't do that. You almost scared me half to death!"

I grinned at that and said "Sorry 'Mione. You know I would never let anything happen to you."

She then rolled her eyes and went back to her book. I picked up one of the other biology books and began looking for Nicolas Flamel.

"Ugh! We are never going to find him!" Hermione yelled quietly and closed her book then slammed it on the table.

"Don't worry 'Mione. We are gonna find him. Now, who did you say heard his name before?" I asked.

"Harry. He said he has heard Flamel's name before, but he doesn't know where" Hermione said.

"I think I heard his name before as well... Where do I know that name?" I said to her while putting my hand on my chin.

"What? You know the name as well? How come you never told me?" She asked excitedly.

"I forgot to tell you. I think I read it on a chocolate frog card before, but there are so many possibilities. I want to try to find him in one of Ron's card collection" I said standing up and getting my thing.

"Well what are you waiting for? Let's go!" she said running to her things and grabbing my hand to run out of the library.

**Hermione's POV**

I can't believe that Fred has seen the name as well! Maybe the chocolate frog card was where Harry had seen the name before. We are just one step closer to finding out who Nicolas Flamel is! We first needed to find Ron and Harry to help us look through the cards. We tried the Great Hall and we found them talking to Neville.

"Sorry Neville, but we need to talk to Harry and Ronald" I said to him while pushing him lightly away.

"Harry, Ron! We think we know where to find Nicolas Flamel!" Fred said to them. Their eyes were wide open and Ron asked " How do you know about him? Oh never mind. Where do we look?"

"Chocolate frog cards," Fred and I said at once.

"Hey, I have a card right here," Harry said, pulling out a chocolate frog card.

I snatched the card out of his hand and read it out loud. "Here he is! Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for his discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, NICOLAS FLAMEL! We found him! Wait stay here." I said while running to my bag and recovering an enormous old book.

"I never thought to look in here. I got this from the library two weeks ago for a bit of light reading" I told them.

"Light?" They said together.

"Yes. Now shh!" I said to them while opening the book and read a little part of it.

I knew it! I knew it!" I said jumping up and down.

"Can we speak now?" Ron asked.

"Yes. Okay listen: Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Sorcerer's Stone!" I said to them. Fred jumped up and gave me a hug and said "Mione! You're a genius!"

"Thanks." He stepped back and sat back down.
