As for the first days of college, it was sooo awesome. We did not have the
other subjects we were supposed to attend because the teachers themselves did
not come to class. Last June 14 we were the first freshmen to be allowed to
pass by the Arc of the Centuries(built in 1611, it was moved because it might
get damaged during the WW2 and was never open to the public since)We had a
cool party all through the night and so on.....

Recently, we left our protagonists in the Dark Woods. They were now dedicated
to practice their skills and magic every day of the week. Neither do they
know that Harry and his group have been watching Professor Quirrel like a
hawk over his head until that evening inside the Great Hall. The three
weary knights ate heartily of their dinner while Harry's, Ron's and
Hermione's plates were slowly being eaten upon. Their eyes were still rested
in the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher all throughout until they all
left for their houses. "Harry, is there something the matter?" Hikaru asked
his lightning-scarred friend "You seem to look over Professor Quirrell
recently."
"We're doing it to protect Quirrell, if ever he lets Snape get the
Stone."
"What?!?!" Hikaru almost shouted."What are you on to?"
"Oh, we forgot. We have not told you yet what recently happened." Ron
relayed the information the three did not know."Snape badly wants the Stone."
he finished his explanation.
"Thanks, we have no idea that was what he was up to." Fuu said as she
made herself looked surprised at the news as if it was new.
"By the way you people should start studying for the exams, its
almost near." Hermione reminded the three best friends.
"Yes, we will." Umi giggled as Hermione kept on nagging the other two
boys to start their studies.
=Girls' Dormitory=
"You hear that? Do you think Snape is an added problem to our
duties?" Hikaru asked the other two as well as Mokona.
"I did not think of it that way when we saw the two in the Dark
Woods." Umi opened the cage to let Hime out.
"We won't know until we learn more. I guess we should both keep our
eyes in Quirrell and Snape."
"Yeah. That means more work, not to mention the gradually stacking
assignments of ours." Umi then started brushing her long blue ribbon-like
hair.
"We'll manage somehow." Hikaru opened the window and looked at the
beautiful pearly-white full moon hanging in the midnight blue sky."Time to
go to bed!" she smiled at the other two and jumped into the four-poster,
leaving its curtains tied to that the beautiful moonlight shone over them.
Somewhere in the castle later that night, there entered a suspicious
looking shadow crawling into the succession of chambers that tried to guard
the Sorcerer's Stone. When it at last entered the last of the chambers it
took its form and lo! a woman of great height appeared from the darkness and
gave such a horrible laugh."AT LAST, I SHALL GET ETERNAL IMMORTALITY!" she
slowly walked to the last of the traps, the Mirror of Erised. She was only a
few steps away when some enchantment made her stop from nearing the Mirror.
"WHAT'S THIS?!? I CANNOT ENTER THE BARRIER!" the more she tried to push, the
stronger the force shield pushed back. "I CAN DO THIS. I AM THE QUEEN OF
DARKNESS AND NOTHING SHALL GET IN MY WAY." she was pushing using force now,
using her long fingernails as knives cutting through the barrier slowly. She
was almost there, taking grasp of the mirror as she slowly pushed herself in.
Though greatly weakened she looked at the Mirror suspiciously.
"That will be enough. Leave the Mirror of Erised alone or I shall
take drastic measures upon you!" threatened the now angry Headmaster."You
passed through my Magic Circle, the barrier that you were fighting to get
through."
"IS THAT SO? THEN LET ME GIVE YOU A TASTE OF MY MAGIC, OLD MAN!"
Devonaire shot a pure black force through the hole that she had just passed
through. The force then directed itself towards Dumbledore.
"No. You shall not." he waved his wand immediately and made circular
movements "CINGI AVERSABILIS MALUS!" he calmly shouted.It formed a shield to
guard himself, pushing against the negative energy that was trying to attack
him. But it seemed that she was more stronger then he was, although she was
weakened by his invisible charm.'The only way to stop this negative energy is
to hit her with the opposite kind of energy. But in order to do this, I have
to let my guard down. Dear, dear..'
"DO YOU STILL WANT MORE? I CAN GIVE YOU MORE!!!" she made her blast
more stronger.
'I have no other choice. If she ever get the Sorcerer's Stone, there
will be more trouble then when we started protecting this gem.' Dumbledore
slowly let down and was hit.He was sent flying backward.
"YOUR PUNY MAGIC IS OF NO MATCH FOR ME!" Devonaire said as she
continued on.
"INLUMINO!" he said as raised his head, though his body could not.
Light enveloped around the room like sunlight flooding. It surprised
Devonaire, for it was her weakness.
"AAAAAAA!!!!!" Devonaire screamed. "YOU HAVE BEATEN ME THIS TIME,
BUT I SHALL RETURN." she slid in the cracks of the walls and was gone.
"What was that?!?!" Fuu immediately stood up from bed.
"I heard a scream somewhere. It sounded like Devonaire." Hikaru
jumped out of the four-poster. "Let's go!"
"I'm coming!" Umi ran grabbing her glove beside her and wore it when
they were through the Fat Lady. Then they changed into their armour.
The three followed the source of the scream, reaching the forbidden
third floor where Harry and Ron had been before. They were nearing the door
when out came Professor Dumbledore, walking very slowly. He looked wounded.
"What happened Headmaster?"
"S-somebody tried to get the Stone." He was breathing very deeply
when he finally collapsed.
"I'll get Madame Pomfrey, Fuu, Umi, you heal and watch over him."
Hikaru ran quickly, going downsatirs. She was sure the teachers were awake by
now, possibly wanting to know why they were out in the night. Not wanting any
more problems, she willed her armour away as she walked inside the hospital
wing.
"Stand back Umi, I'll heal him immediately before he starts losing
blood." Fuu raised her hand."Winds of Healing!" green winds enveloped the
Headmaster lying on the floor as it lifted his large body. It healed his
wounds almost immediately. It only took a few minutes before he woke up.
"Thank goodness, he's alright." Umi jumped for joy.
"Am I in the hospital wing already?" the headmaster asked.
"No sir, we're still here in the third floor." Umi answered.
"What in the world happened to my bruises?" he looked at the two
through his half-moon spectacles.
"I healed you sir." Fuu said.
" Is that your magic? This feeling I felt?"
Fuu could only nodd in reply as she and Umi helped him stand up.
"Everyone OK?" Hikaru ran up to them, signaling them to remove their
armour.
"Gracious, Headmaster. What happened?" Madame Pomfrey followed
Hikaru, with her wand ready.
"Somebody tried to steal the Stone." was his answer once more as
the nurse studied his for any wounds."Good thing these students came upon
the scream." his eyes twinkled once more with gratefulness.
"Well, its good that you're alright but you need some rest. You're
very tired." the nurse helped him out.
"I am." he answered as they helped him going down to the hospital
wing.Later, more footsteps came up to them. They were the Professors carrying
lamps in their night clothes."Professors, please return to your rooms. I am
well-taken care of, no need for worries." he assured them.
"What's the meaning of this Headmaster?" Snape asked the group.
"Someone tried to steal the Stone." Dumbledore repeated once more.
"I'll assist you then. You three, you may return to your house."
Snape came near and put the Headmaster's arm on his shoulders.
"Yes Professor Snape." Hikaru, Umi and Fuu said altogether as they
watched the group until they disappeared in the darkness of the corridoors.
"That was a courageous thing you did you three." it was Professor
McGonagall. The three turned around and looked back at her. "For that, ten
points will be given to each of you for the Gryffindor House."
"Thank you Professor McGonagall, but we did not do much at what
recently happened." Umi admitted to the teacher.
"Well, you did assist the Headmaster up to here from the third floor,
you deserve it that much." she gave them a warm smile and left them there.
They eventually walked back into their house to rest.
=Next Day=
Classes continued on the next day. The three japanese students never
told Harry's group what happened last night to stop them from worrying but
it got out somehow. All the students especially the ones belonging to the
Gryffindor house were all beaming at the three before the end of the day,
except for the Slytherin, naming one of them, Draco Malfoy. Their last class
was Potions. As usual, Snape was terrorizing them, he was making them make
potions on turning one's personality. He thought it was high-time to
start on the innocent japanese students to see if they were right. "I want
you to make a hate potion, and we will test it on these tarantulas." he
pointed at the glass cage holding a couple,he came over to Malfoy "Ah look
class, Draco has mixed his into a beautiful orange-runny liquid. That's the
way I like!" That praise made Malfoy raise his head up high, as he sneered at
his other 'poor' classmates. Then he looked at the potions the three were
making. "If I am correct, you have out too much calamus blades on your
potion, Ms. Ryuuzaki."
"I only overdid it with a few," she said, ignoring the jagged stares
she got from both the professor and the Slytherins."Does it really have to
be that exact Professor?"
"Hmmm. . ." Snape was looking for a way to embarass them."It depends,
if you wish, let us challenge which hate potion is more effective." 'besides,
the calamus leaves are used for making the potion to stiffen in texture.'
he thought. "Draco, Umi bring your potion and test it on our giunea pigs."
The two followed his orders. "Now at the count of three, let one drop fall
on their abdomen. Three!"
The class just watched, just like a slow motion movie, they saw the
potions drop and hit the abdomen of the tarantula. Draco's seeped in quickly
on his tarantula, while Umi's, a bit more thicker, just stayed on top. Upon
the collision of different bodies, the tarantula's began attacking each
other, but they were equally powerful. Fifteen minutes have passed they were
still fighting, until Draco's stopped fighting, while Umi's bit it using its
fangs and poisoned it, paralyzing the other tarantula. It appeared the Umi's
mixture have lengthened the effect.
"Hmmph." Snape only said. He could not say a thing, he sat on his
chair and just looked at them with anger. Almost the same anger for Potter.
"You three, stay up and clean the mess in the room." It was all he could
think up for the japanese students.
"Guess we'll see later in the library then." Harry looked at the
three.
"Yes, you'll be needing more study time after this. I'll help you out
later." Hermione supported them.
"Thanks a lot." Fuu said "We'll see you later." she smiled back at
them.
"Yeah. Bye!" said Ron as they shuffled out of the dingy class
dungeon.
When they were finished, the three had decided to give the Headmaster
a little visit because they were going to pass by it anyway before they
rach the library. When they opened the door, they went up to the bed where
he lay, reading the Daily Prophet evening news. "How are you Headmaster?"
the three repectively greeted him.
"Better. Much better, thanks to you."
"We are only too happy to help anyone in need." Hikaru said back as
she pocketed her robe looking for any candy that she was hiding. "Here sir,
have some." She gave him four butterball candies.
"Thank you for the kind thought." he said. "I'll be going up to my
chamber later, Madame Pomfrey said that I'm well-rested by then, so no need
to worry."
"We'll go then, as not to disturb your much-needed rest." Fuu said
back to him as they left the hospital wing. Upon reaching the library, Harry,
Ron and Hermione were now coming out of the Learning Resource Center and told
them to follow him to Hargrid's cabin for Hagrid to explain more of what they
do not understand.
Once they reached there, all noticed the change in his cabin. Every
thing that might see the inside of the cabin were now sealed with curtains
and hammered wood. They then knocked at the door shortly."Who's it?" Hagrid
bellowed from the inside of the wooden house.
"Its us. Harry and his friends." Hikaru answered him as the door
slowly opened and out peeked Hagrid's large bearded head.
"Come in quickly!" he shuffled them in, careful not to make someone
notice then gave a strong bang at his door.
They immediately noticed that it was really hot inside, somewhat
like the greenhouse effect upon Hagrid's house came quickly. He served them
tea and some sandwiches and eventaully took a seat."Yer askin' from me
somethin'?" his question followed.
"Yeah. We all want to know if something else was guarding the Stone
besides from your pet Fluffy." Harry started the question and answer trivia.
Hagrid just gave a face. "I don't know meself and you six almost know
everything, so I wouldn't." he crossed his large arms trying to prove his
point. "Guess yeh've connected the puzzles."
"Come on Hagrid, though you do not want to tell us the information
you do know everything that is running around here." Hermione said in a warm,
convincing voice of hers. It made Hagrid's beard twitch, possibly proving
that he was smiling underneath all the hair." We were only wondering who else
also guarded the Stone, whom Dumbledore trusted on enough to help him,
besides you."
Hagrid's body guesture showed that he would possibly give in. " I
guess it won't hurt ter tell you just this....mmm...there are four other
teachers...Prof. Flitwick, Prof. McGonagall, Prof. Quirrell, Dubledore
himself and...and.....yeah..Snape."
"Snape?" Harry's group said.
"Yeah-you still on about that? Snape's one of the teachers really
protectin' the stone, he's not about ter steal em'." Hagrid looked at them
suspiciously.
That statement made some sense to the group.It seemed that Snape can
easily pass through every obstacle except for Hagrid's pet and Quirrel's
spell. They looked a teach other as if they were telepathically talking to
each other."Right." Harry said."Your the only person who knows how to get
past Fluffy. And you will not tell it to anyone?" Harry was staring at him
eye to eye."Not even the other fellow teachers?"
"None. It's only me and Professor Dumbledore." he puffed his chest in
dignity.
About this time, the six inside Hagrid's cabin were already feeling
boiling hot. They must have excreted a bucketful by now."Hagrid, could you
please open the door?" Ron requested.
"Sorry, I can't" Hagrid said as he looked back at the fire he made.
He had been glancing there for more then three times. They too, glanced at
where Hagrid faced the fire, Harry, Ron and Hermione knew immediately
what it was, the other three just watched. When he faced Harry once more,
Harry's eyes were now fixed on the fire."Er,..Ah...." He could not find the
right words to explain it to them.
"Where have you gotten this Hagrid?" Ron neared the fire where the
egg was placed.
"I won it las' night. I went inter the village and had some drinks
while playing cards with this stranger. By the looks of his actions he seemed
very relieved of getting it out of his responsibility."
"How will you take care of this when the dragon hatches Hagrid?"
Hermione questioned the half-giant.
"Well.." Hagrid thought. "I've been readin' a bit from the library."
he said as he babbled on about what he has read. When he finished, he was
smiling happily as if he had done something good.
"Hagrid, your house is too small for a dragon." Fuu said.
"You live in a wooden house!" Hermione exclaimed. But Hagrid didn't
seem to care. He has his dragon for a pet.

protectin' the stone, he's not about ter steal em'." Hagrid looked at them
suspiciously.
That statement made some sense to the group.It seemed that Snape can
easily pass through every obstacle except for Hagrid's pet and Quirrel's
spell. They looked a teach other as if they were telepathically talking to
each other."Right." Harry said."Your the only person who knows how to get
past Fluffy. And you will not tell it to anyone?" Harry was staring at him
eye to eye."Not even the other fellow teachers?"
"None. It's only me and Professor Dumbledore." he puffed his chest in
dignity.
About this time, the six inside Hagrid's cabin were already feeling
boiling hot. They must have excreted a bucketful by now."Hagrid, could you
please open the door?" Ron requested.
"Sorry, I can't" Hagrid said as he looked back at the fire he made.
He had been glancing there for more then three times. They too, glanced at
where Hagrid faced the fire, Harry, Ron and Hermione knew immediately
what it was, the other three just watched. When he faced Harry once more,
Harry's eyes were now fixed on the fire."Er,..Ah...." He could not find the
right words to explain it to them.
"Where have you gotten this Hagrid?" Ron neared the fire where the
egg was placed.
"I won it las' night. I went inter the village and had some drinks
while playing cards with this stranger. By the looks of his actions he seemed
very relieved of getting it out of his responsibility."
"How will you take care of this when the dragon hatches Hagrid?"
Hermione questioned the half-giant.
"Well.." Hagrid thought. "I've been readin' a bit from the library."
he said as he babbled on about what he has read. When he finished, he was
smiling happily as if he had done something good.
"Hagrid, your house is too small for a dragon." Fuu said.
"You live in a wooden house!" Hermione exclaimed. But Hagrid didn't
seem to care. He has his dragon for a pet.
