CHAPTER 2


Draco hated detention. He hated it even more when it was Potter's fault that he was here. If he
wasn't such an easy target in Binns class, sleeping there like a baby, then he never would have
tossed that Filibusters Firework at him. Unfortunately, the one time Binns happens to look up
that
entire class period was when he did it.

"Detention Mr. Malfoy." Cried Professor Binns.

Harry shot his head up. Malfoy gave him an evil look. Harry leaned over to Ron "What'd he do?'

"He tried to blow up you head that's what he did. Quidditch run late last night?"

"Yeah. I'm captain of a team that has almost all new members. I need to find a Keeper and a
Beater and two Chasers before next week!"

"I could do it!"

"Well, then you should come to try-outs." Harry winked at him. He'd let him on. Ron knew he
would. He could be great if Harry gave him a chance.

Harry sat for the rest of class wondering who in Gryffindor could be on the team. He hadn't seen
almost any of them on broomsticks. He was so lost.

~~~~~~

But now Draco was waiting in the entrance hall with Filch.

"This is what you get when you misbehave in class, you get to be shoved out in the forbidden
forest
at Mid-night"

"Shut-up , when is this oaf gonna get here, I have better things to do, like sleep." Draco growled.

Filch took much offense to this and said, "Five points from Slytherin!!!" The he turned around and
huffed. Stupid sixth years he thought. No one insults Filtch

"Oh, look, here he comes now, you lucky boy, now shoo, be off with you. I hope you get bitten
by
something poisonous!!!" Filch called after Draco.

Draco walked off to Hagrid. He hated him, and he hated his stupid class, and he hated the
forbidden forest.

"Come on you! We don' hav all night!" The giant called.

So Draco picked up his pace and hurried over to Hagrid. At least he was big enough to protect
him,
if something bad did happen.

"HA, well, this time ya don hav 'Arry to pro'tech ya do yoo?"

Draco just growled. He seemed to be snarling and growling a lot. Maybe he was turning into a
dog.
That wouldn't be bad, then he'd be able to bite Potter.

They had walked forever. Deeper and deeper in the forest. Draco never did hear why he was in
here, like what he was supposed to be looking for.

"Hey, what are we looking for?"

"Well, dares a rumor dat a Muggle horse is in here, and I don' wan it ta get hurt"

"So, we're out here to rescue a horse?!?!" Draco was mortified!! He was wasting his precious
hours
of sleep on a horse? Ugh. He hated horses anyway, who cared if it died.

Off in the Distance a whinny could be heard.

"What was tha---Ahhhh" Draco had tripped over a tree root and landed on a very hard rock.
Actually it looked as though he had broken it.

"What'd ya do?"

"I tripped smart one. I fell on this rock, could you help me up... wait a minute, hey....Lumos.
Would
you look at this!!"

"Oh my!! We gotta get this to Professa Dumbledore!"

"Mobile Courpus" Draco muttered
~~~~~~~


Dumbledore's office was pleasant as usual. He had called a prefects meeting to tell them the new
passwords for this three-week time period. They did change every three weeks you know. The
Sytherins, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws were done, so all that was left was Harry Potter,
Hermione
Granger, Ron Weasley, and Dean Thomas. All they need was the password the they could go to
bed. Harry was muddy already, and tired from a wet Quidditch practice and everybody else was
just
as tired because it was one in the morning.

"Why dose Dumbledore always have them so late?"Harry asked Hermione

"I don't know"

Ron , Harry, and Dean gasped.

"She doesn't know something!" Dean cried

"Quick get the library up here fast we need answers stat!!" Ron said

All three of the boys started to laugh so hard that they were clutching their stomachs when
Dumbledore walked in.

"Very funny guys,.. OH! Professor Dumbledore! I didn't know you were there sir"

"Thats alright Miss Granger." Dumbledore looked around. He loved these kids. So far it had
been
five whole years of these rascals, and he had loved every minute of it. He thought sadly that there
were only two left. "Well troops, the new password is Godric. Simple enough. You are dis-"


"Professor Dumbledore!!" Dumbledore whirled around to find Hagrid, Draco, and a large stone in
his
doorway.

"Sir!" said Draco "We were in the forest and I fell over this stone, but there's something inside!!! I
can see a little green light!!!"

"Calm down son, we'll figure this out. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dean, you may go now."

"No way Professor" Hermione said "I want to see what this is"

"Alright you may stay" Dumbledore said. He knew they would. "Hold on a moment all of you"
Dumbledore walked into his private room behind his office, and came back out holding a
snake."Harry, this snake can see things in the air and all around us that we can't he will be able to
tell us what is going on with the stone. Will you ask him for us?"

Harry felt big, now that Dumbledore had asked a favor of him. He was in awe, that the great
Dumbledore would ever even need his help. He looked at the snake and hissed softly 'Excuse me,
can you see any magic around that rock?' He tried to be as polite as possible. He didn't like to
anger snakes. Everyone in the room was looking at him funny, except Dumbledore. The snake
simple answered back 'yes, many, but they are very old. older than this school even. It looks a
little like a sealing charm, and some of the draught of the living dead'

"Oh my god!!"

"What is it Harry?" Dumbledore asked

"He says that there is a sealing charm on it, AND get this, draught of the living dead, that means
that this THING, that is older than Hogwarts, has a living person inside!!!"

"Eww, whoever it is, they must be pretty old, like dead old" Ron said

"Could you ask him what sort of sealing charm?" Dumbledore asked Harry

"Sure" Harry looked at the snake again 'would you be so kind as to tell me what kind of sealing
charm is on this thing?'

'Why of course, Its' to keep this thing shut. It was originally intended to stay shut forever. but the
person who said the incantation said two words that didn't belong, and those words are how you
open it.'

Harry was amazed, how could this little snake know so much, just by looking at this stone box.
"Dumbledore sir, the snake says that the stone was originally intended to stay shut forever, but,
the person who read the incantation said two wrong words, and that made it possible to open, If
you say those words to it." Harry was a little confused, how can you tell a stone something, they
don't have brains to comprehend that sort of thing. He looked around he room. Hermione was
right up next to the stone, examining it closely. Ron and Dean were in the back of the room, they
looked almost most afraid. Hagrid hadn't said a words since he got up here. And Malfoy, well,
he
was just sulking in the corner.

" Hagrid? Could you run and get Professor Flitwick? He is the Charms master."

"O' course sir" Hagrid said, and turn to leave the room. Dumbledore turned to look at the
students
still standing there. Four Gryffindors, One Slytherin. He knew them all more then they would
ever
know. He knew everything that went on in this school.

" If any of you wish to go back to your common room you may" Dumbledore said. It was very
late,
and they did have classes tomorrow. The students looked at each other. Ron was the fist to
speak
up.

"Professor? Dean and I are going to go back to the common room. I haven't gotten much sleep
lately , because I was in Detention until very late last night, and Dean still has some charms
homework due tomorrow." Ron said very sleepily. There were little black bags hanging under
his
eyes, and his head hung a little to his side. Dumbledore had to tell Servus to ease up on his
detections.

" You are dismissed then, on your way back to the common room though, could you stop by
Professor Snapes office to pick up some antidote to the 'Draught of the Living dead?' Thank you
boys" Ron had a look of terror on his face. Snapes office? Dumbledore was insane. He'd
probably
knock of 20 points from Gryffindor just because they knocked on his door. But it was better than
staying here and finding out what that freaky green light was. He silently prayed for Harry and
Hermione, and hoped that whatever it was ate Draco.

Dumbledore turned to Harry, Hermione, and then to Draco. "Well, what about all of you? I'm
not
going to make you leave, but I do think it would be better for your health." Harry looked at him.
Then to Hermione. They would never leave if something exciting was happening. They couldn't
resist something exciting, and he knew that. Dumbledore could see it when he looked at him.
Besides, he might need Harry. But then he looked to Draco, he would he wish to stay.
Dumbledore
admitted to himself that he didn't know much about this boy, but he was Lucius' son. Oh he did
hate Lucius. But you can't judge someone on who there parents are. He fixed his eyes on Draco.
"What interest have you here Draco?" Dumbledore asked softly.

"Oh, well I figured, that since I discovered it, I should be here when it opens" He also didn't want
to
miss out on anything, especially if Potter was staying. He didn't want him getting any sort of
special
treatment. He hated when Scar-head got special treatment.

"Logical explanation" Dumbledore said. Just then Flitwick burst in the doors. You couldn't see
him
too well since he was behind the giant rock. "Oh, good thing you're here Professor Flitwick, we
have a situation."

Flitwick went over to the stone and stared at it for a while. After carefully analyzing the situation
he
went into Dumbledores other room and came back out with three black candles and a small
container of shimmering Dust. He turned to the students.

"It's a tricky charm to do. I'm going to need all of your help. This here," He squeaked as he held
up
the small container, "....is a special sort of truth dust, especial for older charms cast. I'm going to
Light the candles and place them around the rock, and the we shall all have to chant 'Sdrow
treicna
ruoy em ot elever'. Do you all have that?" The students all nodded, and took out their wands.
Flitwick called them into a circle after the lights had been dimmed and the candles blazing. Their
black glow was creepy in the dark room. Like a shadow in the dark of night. Hermione looked at
Harry. She always looked at Harry for confidence. He was always so strong, he seemed much
older
than sixteen sometimes... and then other times he was worse than a first year, but he was Harry.
And he was her rock, someone she could always got to when she needed stength, and she needed
it now. Some older charms were tricky, she was surprised that Dumbledore didn't just call some
other teachers to help, it would most likely work better with more expreianced people in the
room.
But when she looked at Dumbledore she could tell that he wanted them here, he trusted them, and
thought that they were good enough for this. Hermione had always been able to read people
well.

Flitwick looked around at the students and Dumbledore all gathered in a circle. Hagrid had left
after
finding Flitwick. He needed to return to the woods to find that horse. "Ready everyone?" Draco,
Hermione, Harry and Dumbledore all nodded. And than all together, with their wands pointing
out
to where the rock lay the chanted the eerie words.

"Sdrow treicna ruoy em ot leaver"

And out of all of their wand shot out a thin silver wisp of smoke. Flitwick took the truth dust in
his
hands and through it on the smoke and it suddenly jumped. It Turned form a pale silver to a
vibrant
pink and together formed the words over the stone.

'raed ym'

Professor Flitwick blew out the candle's and said the words. Suddenly the top of the stone flew
off.
It landed with a crash against Dumbledore office door. He rushed over to light a lamp to see
what
was inside. The green light shone all across the room. When the lamps returned light to the room
everyone there was shocked. Inside lay a beautiful girl. Perfect in every way. It looked as if she
had only been sleeping, and indeed she had.

They all gathered around this stone coffin. Harry was in awe. This girl had been sleeping for
centuries! And she still looked perfect! Harry looked at her again. She was very pretty. Long
Dark
brown hair, soft skin, and big eyes. They were shut, but they still seemed pretty. He looked
across
to Draco. His mouth was hanging open. He must be in as much awe as he was at this sleeping
beauty. Harry looked her over again. She had a crown on the top of her head. 'She must be an
ancient royalty' he thought to himself, 'totally out of my league'.

Within a few minutes of the stone coffin being opened Snape burst in the door. "The boys told me
it
was urgent, so I hurried up with this potion." He looked into the stone coffin. A beautiful girl
was lain
in there. She had a velvet green cape on and a pixie hanging around her neck tied around her
neck.

"Headmaster? What it going on?"

"We don't know Severus, we were hoping she would be able to tell us." Dumbledore looked at
the
girl, and then back to Severus, "could you please give her the potion?"

"Of course Headmaster" Snape said. He went to the girls side and lifted her head in his hand. He
poured the liquid slowly down her throat. Harry thought for a moment that he looked very kind
for
that brief moment, cradling the poor thing like that. Maybe he wasn't all bad.... What was he
thinking? This was Snape!!

She stirred. Snape put her head back on the green silk pillow again. He would let her wake up in
her own way. She moved her head slowly back and forth. Her soft little hand moved from the
lily it
was holding, to the hilt of a very dangerous looking sword at her hip. Her other hand moved up
to
the vile containing the pixie. Then it moved up to clutch her head. She shook her head softly
again.


She opened her mouth a tiny bit and said "Dredroli I will get you if it's the last thing I do." The
her
hand dropped again. Hermione, who had remained silent like the rest of them said "Headmaster?
Shouldn't we get her to the Hospital wing?" Dumbledore turned to her.

"No my dear, if we were to give her to Poppy, we would never see her again."

They all turned their attention back to the sleeping princess. She open her mouth tiny bit and let a
soft moan out. Her eyelashes fluttered and slowly her eyes opened and reveled her beautiful deep
green eyes, that looked very confused. She made the motion to move , but Dumbledore stopped
her almost suddenly.

"My dear, you have no need to worry" He said. His eyes looked kind and comforting. The
twinkle
that they all knew so well was shining like a tiny little star in his eye. "You are safe here"

The girl still looked very confused. She fluttered her eyes a bit, taking in the light, for those
wonderful eyes hadn't looked on the world in a long time. She returned her glance to
Dumbledore.
He seemed so kind. She could trust this man.

"Where am I?" she asked in such a small voice. She was so innocent, so little, so uninformed.
Harry
continued to look at her. She seemed so scared. But then he would be to, if he was in whatever
sort of position she was in.

"Well my dear, you are not at home anymore, I can tell you that much. This young man found
your...erm, coffin out in the forest. We were wondering if you could tell us anything."
Dumbledore
said kindly.

She looked over to the young man. He seemed very handsome, but very alone, like he didn't have
anyone. Kind of like she felt. Her mind had been bent in so many directions. It was hard to tell
what wasn't a dream anymore. This looked very real, it wasn't fussy like the rest of her dreams
she
had. She pried into the vague pictures of the past. It couldn't have been that long ago, could it?

"Well, I remember father, and mother, and, the drink, and the fear. O, I was afraid! I can
remember... I can... I ... oh, I'm terribly sorry, I don't remember much. What is going on? Where
am
I? Who are all of you, and why are you all wearing clothes like Court Wizard Geruff?"

"Well, you my dear are at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft an-"

"WITCHCRAFT!!!!"

"What my dear, is there something wrong?"

"I'm very confused, I'm the only witch. I am the first. How can you have a school that I never
even
knew about? My family has connection everywhere? Explain yourself!" She said very huffily.
She
was a princess, she did have authority over all of these people.

"Well, hmm, how do I explain this. My dear, well, first what is your name? I need to know so
I'm not
calling you dear all of the time."

"Well sir, My Name is Geray. I am the princess of he Northern Land, The first Witch and
Daughter of
the great Dredroli." She thought to herself the Father was never that great, but when addressing
total strangers, she should use her full title.

"Well" Dumbledore said "That certainly is a title. Well, Geray, this is Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft
and Wizardry. I am the Headmaster of this school, these two men here are Professors Snape, and
Flitwick, and these three are students, Draco Malfoy, who found you, Harry Potter, and
Hermione
Granger. As for what is going on, I don't really know, But I'm hoping that we all may figure this
out
sometime soon." Dumbledore paused for a moment, "Who is Court Wizard Geruff?"

This was something she could answer. She had spent some time with Geruff recently, and he had
helped her with her magic, "He is my father's Wizard. He is a member of our court and has
helped
me with learning a bit of my magic."

Dumbledore, Snape, and Flitwick were taken aback. Snape was the one who stepped forward.
His
voices sounded tense as he spoke to the young girl, "Geruff you say? He is a famous Dark
wizard,
before the time of Hogwarts even. How much have you learned for him?" Snapes words cut the
air
like poison. Harry stood there in disbelief. This girl had been taught by a dark wizard from
before
the time of Hogwarts. She must be centuries old. She was part of history. The first witch?
Could
this be true? Did witches come after wizards. S far after that there was no one to teach them.
He
was a little confused.

"Mother had only sent me to him three times. I spent a few hours of the day in his office with
him.
He taught me all that I know" She said proudly, but on the inside Geray felt very small, she knew
some things. She could balance balls of magic, and shoot them at things, but that was so little in
the scale of things. To occupy herself, and to show these new people what she knew, she started
balancing fire between her hands, she could draw fire from nothing, her problem area were water
shocks. Fire had always been easy. She balanced the balls between her hands concentrating so
not to burn her self, and then with one flick of her wrist she sent both the balls at the wall,
causing
Hermione to duck as they slammed into the wall of Dumbledores office with such a force that
there
were cracks in the stone now.

"I'm not very good, that's about it. I can get water and shockings if I try really hard, but it takes a
lot out of me. I can't throw them yet. A few more sessions with the Wizard and then I'll have it.
Speaking of which I would like to return home now. Would you men please escort me in the
direction that North Castle is in?" She said dropping her soft voice and picking the regal one up
again.

Dumbledore looked at the girl with an odd look on his face. She didn't get any of this. How could
he
tell her any of this without the risk of her doing something drastic. "My dear, this isn't a very
good
way to put it, but you are in North Castle."

She passed out on the spot.
