Armonie's POV
"Seeing you fly around in the Quidditch match was hilarious" I teased Severus.
The school year was back in full swing and for some reason Severus refereed instead of Madame Hooch in the match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Of course Gryffindor won and I would have joined in on the celebration had I not have to separate Ron and Draco Malfoy. The blonde haired Slytherin decided to be a bully and mock Ron hence the two of them fighting.
Mr. Malfoy's friends also fought with Neville Longbottom and Hagrid separated those three. I made sure Severus was informed about Draco and his friends. To my surprise Severus took ten points away from his own house due to Mr. Malfoy being a jerk.
The Potions Master shot me a glare and I smirked.
Even his glares are sexy my phoenix half joked.
I was about to reply when Severus said something.
"I take it your still going to America to visit your parents after the school year ends?"
"Yep you know your always welcome to join me"
This time the black haired male smiled a bit.
"I was actually going to ask if I could, the history down in the southern United States is quite fascinating"
My parents lived in Charlottesville, Virginia and there was plenty of history there.
"I know just the place to take you then, it's Thomas Jefferson's home" I explained.
At the mention of Monticello my best friend's eyes show interest.
Sounds like a date to me
Zip it phoenix I reprimanded my other half.
Harry's POV
I remembered where I had heard about Nicholas Flamel. I read about him on one of the cards I collected from eating a Chocolate Frog. Hermione then dragged us to the library and when we sat down she went to find a book.
"I had you two looking in the wrong section how could I've been so stupid" Hermione said returning to us with a very thick book. When she placed it onto the table it made it shake. "I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading"
"This is light?" Ron wondered as Hermione opened the book and searched it.
She shot Ron a glare before finding what she was looking for.
"Of course here it is Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Sorcerer's Stone"
"The what?" Ron and I asked together.
"Honestly don't you two read?" Hermione said before continuing on. "The Sorcerer's Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers, it'll transform any metal into pure gold, and produces the Elixir of Life which will make the drinker immortal"
"Immortal?"
"It means you'll never die"
"I know what it means!"
I hushed Ron so no one would hear what we were discussing. Hermione read the rest about Nicholas Flamel.
"That's what Fluffy is guarding on the third floor, that's what under the trapdoor the Sorcerer's Stone"
Later.
Still Harry's POV
Our next task was to see Hagrid. We had to sneak our way out of the school once darkness fell. Hagrid was surprised to see us but when he tried to shut the door in our faces we blurted out about knowing the Sorcerer's Stone and Hagrid decided to let us in.
The hut was warm but we paid no attention to that.
"We think Snape is trying to steal it" I explained while taking off my cloak.
"Snape? Blimey your still not on about him are ya?"
"Hagrid we know he's after the stone we just don't know why"
"Snape is one of the teachers protecting the stone he's not about to steal it"
"Of course there are things defending the stone aren't there? Spells, enchantments"
"That's right, waste of a bloody time if you ask me ain't no one gonna get past Fluffy, ain't a soul who knows how except for me and Dumbledore"
Hagrid then widened his eyes.
"I shouldn't have told you that, I shouldn't have told you that"
Something was heard moving in the cauldron that was in the fireplace. Hagrid scooped something out of it and moved to the table and we followed him. He placed what looked like a large stone on the table.
"Hagrid exactly what is that?"
"I know what that is but Hagrid how did you get one?"
"I won it off a stranger I met down at the pub, seemed glad to get quite rid of it as a matter of fact"
The stone moved around before parts of it were thrown about. The stone had been an egg and out of it came a dragon. Hagrid said he always wanted one when I first met him. The dragon shook the remainders of it's shell before eying us.
"Is that a dragon?" Hermione asked.
"That's not just a dragon that's a Norwegian Ridgeback, my brother Charlie works with these in Romania"
Hagrid was on cloud nine with the dragon and I didn't blame him the dragon hatchling was pretty cute. Hagrid stroked the baby dragon and it emitted a purring sound clearly enjoying being petted. Hagrid called the dragon Norbert and after another pet from Hagrid did Norbert accidentally send a small fireball onto Hagrid's beard.
Hagrid was able to put the flames out before narrowing his eyes at the window. I turned and saw Malfoy taking off. It was obvious it was time for us to leave since Malfoy saw Norbert. The three of us entered the castle talking amongst ourselves until Professor McGonagall caught us. Malfoy was beside her wearing a smirk.
She led us into her classroom where she lectured us about wondering around the school at night. And what worse she took fifty points from Gryffindor from each of us. And to make sure we didn't repeat this all four of us would receive detention. Malfoy's smug look dropped.
"Excuse me Professor but perhaps I heard you wrong, I thought you said the four of us"
McGonagall looked to Malfoy.
"No you heard me correctly Mr. Malfoy you see honorable as your intentions were you too were out of bed after hours, you will join your classmates in detention"
It was my turn to wear a smirk of my own.
I've actually have been to Monticello and its awesome. Also the new story image was done by my good pal Yoitefriend from DeviantArt. Credit: Yoitefriend.
