Chapter 5
Dumbledor's Quest
The next day was like a hurricane. Everyone was rushing to go to Hogsmead, I stood in line with Ron, Harry, and Hermione waiting to go to Hogsmead.
"You four!" I turned around, "Come with me." It was Professor McGonagall. We followed her back into the school. "Wait here," She walked into Dumbledor's office.
"Oh great," Ron muttered, "We haven't even gone anywhere and we're in trouble."
"I wonder why Dumbledor wants to see us?" Hermione asked, glancing at me.
"I don't know," I said, looking at Hermione. She obviously knew it had something to do with me.
The door opened up and Professor McGonagall shoved us inside, then left once seeing that we were in the hands of Dumbledor.
"I wish to ask a favor of you four," Dumbledor said, "It involves great danger, I would go myself but the Ministry advised me to stay here at Hogwarts."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked dumbfounded.
"Er...sir? Um we would be...(Harry looked around at us.) happy? To um do this....um..." Harry stuttered.
"Quest," Dumbledor answered.
"Ya well what's this 'quest' all about?" Ron said confused.
"Ah," Dumbledor sighed. "I guess I should start at the beginning. As you all know, the Sorcerer's Stone was made by Nicholas Flamel." Ron, Harry, and Hermione nodded. "Well Nicholas had an assistant named Deavon Thunder. Deavon always wanted to put the stone to work for him, but Nicholas always stopped him."
"So what happened?" Hermione asked, eager to hear the answer.
"One day while Nicholas was out, Deavon stole the Sorcerer's Stone and made a new stone with just as much power. Only this stone was called the Demon Stone because, it possessed different and evil powers." Dumbledor hesitated, "Deavon vanquished the stone to Black Arrow forest, and only three elf sisters saw where the stone was hidden. Then Deavon killed himself so nobody could find the stone with his help."
Everyone looked awed, except Hermione she wanted to know more about the stone. "So what is our 'quest'?" Hermione asked.
"You are to go and find the stone but, the only way to destroy the stone is to bring a gift from each elf sister to the stone." Dumbledore finished.
"Um, Professor?" Harry asked, "What if the elf sisters don't cowaperate?"
"You four will have to find that out on your own." Dumbledore stated, "I can't give you all the answers." Then he pushed us out of the room. But before closing the door, he said "You leave the first day of winter break, I suspect you will receive a few surprises by then." He said this with a gleam in his eye, and looked strangely toward me.
We all kind of separated after that, Ron and Harry went up to the boys dormitories in the Gryffindor Common Room. Hermione headed strait for the library, and I headed up to my dorm.
I sat by my bed, luckily nobody was in there, everyone was at Hogsmead. -a trip we obviously had missed- I wondered about what Dumbledore had said, I mean sure...he told me that there was a second stone and that Harry and his friends needed help. But he didn't mention anything about Deavon or how three elf sisters know where the stone is.
But what really bugged me was how he looked at me. What did that mean 'A few surprises'? Was I supposed to tell Harry and Ron that I was an ELF? They would laugh and think it was some grand joke! That or they would be afraid of me.
Maybe Dumbledore wanted me to tell them...I guess I'll tell them when we get to Black Arrow forest.
I calmed my mind and closed my eyes, I soon fell asleep to heavenly dreams.
