Harry Potter and the Forbidden Gem
Chapter 1 - Haperson Hill
An indefinite silence took over the house of Ms. Ricita Fladmore. She had been home for an hour waiting on her husband to get home. There she was, deciding what to make for dinner. She had made many dishes. Sometimes she thought that's why her husband married her.
"Let me see," Ricita said and pulled out her wand. "Accio ginger, eggs, and bread." The ginger, eggs, and bread flew to her and she caught them. After a few minutes, she had all the ingredients she needed and started to mix them together with a flash of her wand.
Minutes went by and was about to put it in the oven when there was a knock at the door. She stopped in her tracks and went to answer it. She opened the door to find nothing. She blew the door from her mind, closed it, and heard someone knock again. She opened the door as quickly as possible to find nothing.
"Keep away from my house!" she yelled out of the door. She then closed it and turned around. She then gasp in fear as she bumped into...
"Yooouuuu..." she gaped as she cowered in fear.
"Yes," Voldemort said, "Me. Do you know how long I have waited for this moment?"
"Keep away from me," she said and tried to move in the direction of the door. He laughed at her remark and came closer to her.
"I need something from you," he said, going back to what he was saying, "The Permandebien Star. You do know what it is, right, Rici?"
"I'm not telling you anything you...you monster." With that, she ran toward the door.
"Sestofio!" Voldemort had stopped her in her tracks. There she was frozen in the moment of her going for the door. Voldemort simply got in front of her and said, "Tustofio!"She unfreezed and fell backward onto the floor.
"I need you, Rici. Please come and help me. If you don't do it willfully, I shall have to take matters into my own hands."
"Why? Why should I help you?" she asked him brushing herself off.
"Now is not the time for questions. Come with me or I shall make you come."
"Never," she said and tried running again. Before she could do a thing, Voldemort pulled out his wand and shouted, "Imperio!" She then fell to the ground.
"Wormtail, come get Ms. Fladmore. I need to keep her with me to talk."
"Yes, master." Wormtail said as he came in and obeyed.
"We have many things to do, Wormtail," Voldemort said and Wormtail did as Voldemort had already planned. He went all around the house and broke things apart, limb from limb, knocking things down and everything.
When he was done Voldemort looked at the broken down house and laughed. They then left the battered house.

"Thank you for letting me stay again. It was a great summer," Harry said to Mrs. Weasley and hugged her.
"No problem, Harry," Mrs. Weasley replied, "You've been such an angel all summer. Now get in the car so you don't miss the train to King's Cross."
"OK. Good-bye," Harry said as he sat next to Ron when he got in the car. She waved at the car as the Weasley children and Harry were being taken to King's Cross Station.
"I'm glad you stayed the summer here," Ron said to Harry.
"I'm glad that I didn't have to stay at the Dursleys the summer. I would have died if I had been with the Muggles," Harry replied. They both laughed at Harry's remark.
"Could you stop all of the racket?" Percy said. He then turned back to his working, which looked rather boring and long to both of them.
"Why did you come anyway, Percy," Ron asked him, "You're only doing your 'ministry' work all of the time."
"I came because it makes me feel good to see off things that irritate me," Percy practically yelled.
Ron stuck out his tongue at him and went back to his conversation with Harry. Fred and George really didn't notice what was going on around them seeing as they whispered to each other the whole way. Harry thought of it for a moment, then passed it from his mind.
When they got to King's Cross, they unloaded their bags on carts and set off for Platform 9 and 3 quarters. When they found it, they did the usual walk through the wall to get to the platform. Ginny was first, then Ron and Harry with Mr. Weasley, Fred, and George bringing up the rear.
They found a spot near the back of the train to sit just as the train was about to leave. In it they found Hermione, Neville and Lee Jordan. Fred and George took off with Lee while Ginny went to go find people who wanted to play Exploding snap.
"Hi Hermione," Ron and Harry said in unison.
"Hi," she said, looking pretty good. "I became a prefect," she said, showing them the badge with a smile.
"Who knew," Ron said sarcastically.
"Hey have you seen the latest Daily Prophet?" she asked them. They shook their heads. She pulled out a copy and flipped to the page of the article which read:

Break-in at Haperson Hill!
There was a recent break-in near the residents of Haperson Hill, writes Special Correspondent, Katelin Bulieger. The house was found broken and battered in evry place imaginable. Mr. Laterbrin Fladmore came home late from work to find how his house was and his wife, Ricita, missing. "I...I...I couldn't believe what had happened to it. And my wife gone only made my feeling worse," sasy Mr. Fladmore.
There have also been rumors of where she is now. A few have been confirmed. Ms. Fladmore was one of the secret keepers of the Permandebien Star, also known as the Forbidden Gem. One rumor that hasn't been confirmed is if He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is in on this. A confirmed rumor about this is while in Hogwarts (a wizard and witch school), they were dating. For some reason or another You-Know-Who and Ricita broke up. She may have been forced or not into giving secrets about the Forbidden Gem. Mr. Fladmore, however, gave no comment on this subject. Hopefully we can find out soon enough.

"What does this mean?" Harry asked Hermione.
"This means that Voldemort might be coming to Hogwarts," Hermione answered.
"Why would he come here? Isn't he looking for that Forbidden Gem?" he asked. Her mione looked surprised at him.
"Don't you ever read the rumors?" she asked them. They shook their heads. Hermione gave a big sigh. "Well, one rumor about the Forbidden Gem is that Dumbledore is one of the secret keepers. That means You-Know-Who may come here to get information from here."
Harry gave a gasp. "I know," said a frightened Neville. He had been listening to them the whole time. Harry thought for a second and came up with a solution to their worries.
"Dumbledore wouldn't let Vol...I mean You-Know-Who take over him," Harry said, "Dumbledore is strong and won't let him do it." Harry's efforts to cheer them up worked.
"So, anybody for a game of chess?" Ron asked and pulled out his board and pieces.
