Chapter 13

Down the Trapdoor

While Albert and Yusuke were fighting outside everyone else was in the common room. "Hey they started fighting," said Ron who was looking out the window. The gang ran over and looked outside. "Whoa, you saw those blasts Urameshi and Albert made," said Kuwabara. Everyone nodded with mouths hanging open. The fight continued to last for two hours.

"Oh, guys it's ten. We better get going," said Harry. "Awwwwwww man. That fight was so cool," said Ron. Keiko glared at him which made him shut up. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Kuwabara, Yukina, and Mitarai went to the third floor corridor. With a deep breath the six of them went into the dog room. Inside they found a harp magically being played and the dog sleeping. They didn't wait for anything. If Quirrell beat them to the stone all was lost.

Kuwabara lifted the dog's paw and the six jumped in the darkness. The landed in a bunch of plants that started to choke them. Kuwabara panicked. "Man I wish Kurama were here," he whined. Hermione warned everyone to stay still. Harry, Mitarai, and Yukina did and slid down into a hallway.

Meanwhile Kuwabara and Ron were struggling. They probably would have died had Hermione not muttered a spell that lit up the area. "Whew," said Harry. "It's a good thing Hermione paid attention in Herbology" "Yeah, good thing we didn't panic," said Ron. Everyone rolled their eyes.

The gang proceeded to the next room. They were in a circular room with flying things all around them. Hermione checked the door, but it was magically locked. Harry looked around for key and found broomsticks. He then realized the things flying were keys. "Which is the right one," asked Kuwabara? Everyone looked around until Yukina spotted one with a broken wing. "That one," she said. Harry headed for a broom, but Mitarai stopped him. "I'll get it," he said.

Mitarai activated his territory and then got out a vial of water from his pocket and poured it on a cut on his finger. A monster appeared out of the ground and went after the key. The tiny monster moved so fast that the gang had the key in no time. They opened the door and headed down the steps to another room. There was a foul smell and when they reached the bottom step two trolls attacked them.

Harry and Hermione stunned them both allowing Kuwabara to kill them both with his Spirit Sword. "Well, that was easy," said Ron. The gang moved into a darkened room. The lights turned on and the gang found themselves on one side of a chess board. "Looks like we have to play across," said Ron. "Hey, this is you game," said Kuwabara. Ron instructed the six of them to take the place of two rooks, a queen, two bishops, and a knight for himself.

The white team moved first. Soon both teams lost a lot of pawns. Ron tried to save his friends whenever he could. Finally he got rid of an annoying rook. Ron then paused and took in the situation. He realized if he sacrificed himself Harry could checkmate the king. Nobody agreed with the idea. Kuwabara even said he would use his sword if necessary.

When Kuwabara attempted to activate his sword he couldn't. "What's going on," he said. "Look, guys do you want to stop Quirrell or not," asked Ron? Everyone was reluctant but eventually let him move. Ron was knocked out by the queen, but that allowed Harry to move. "Checkmate," said Harry. The white king threw his crown down and the chess pieces parted.

Yukina and Kuwabara stayed behind to look after Ron. Everyone else moved on. The three remaining closed the door behind them, but then a fire appeared in front of the exits trapping them. "What the hell," said Harry? "Those might help," said Seaman. Hermione walked over to a table with seven bottles. She saw a scroll and read it.

Danger lies before you, while safety lies behind,

Two of us will help you, whichever you would find,

One among us seven will let you move ahead,

Another will transport the drinker back instead

Two among our number hold only nettle wine,

Three of us are killers, waiting hidden in the line.

Choose, unless you wish to stay here forevermore,

To help you in your choice, we give you these clues four:

First, however slyly the poison tries to hide

You will always find some on nettle wine's left side;

Second, different are those who stand at either end,

But if you move onward, neither is your friend;

Third, as you see clearly, all are different size,

Neither dwarf nor giant holds death in their insides;

Fourth, the second left and the second right

Are twins once you taste them, though different at first sight.

(I copied that from the book) Hermione finished reading and looked up. Harry looked like he might faint. "Brilliant," said Hermione. "Some wizards don't have an ounce of logic. They'd be stuck here forever." "We won't be stuck here, right Hermione," asked Mitarai. "Nope just give me a minute," she replied. She walked up and down the table muttering to herself and pointing to different bottles.

Finally she picked up the tiniest bottle and handed it to Harry. "That will bring you to the next room," said Hermione. "What about you guys," asked Harry? "We'll wait here for you," answered Mitarai. "Good luck Harry," said Hermione as he drained the bottle. "Weird," said Harry. He then hurried through the fire.

Harry appeared in a bright room and in the middle was Quirrell. "Ah, Potter, I wondered if I would see you here." He smiled. "You're too nosy to live," said Quirrell. "We were on to you," Harry said as Quirrell flicked his wand creating ropes that bound Harry. "Now, let's look at this mirror," said Quirrell. He walked around the mirror muttering to himself.

"Master how do I get the stone," asked Quirrell? At first Harry thought Quirrell lost his mind. Then a voice answered. "Use the boy," came the reply. Quirrell dragged Harry to the mirror and asked him what he saw. Harry looked at his reflection and was surprised at what he saw. His reflection took out the stone and put it in his pocket. Harry then felt a lump in his pocket. He realized he had the stone and he quickly made a lie.

"Well, what do you see," demanded Quirrell? "I see myself leaving the Dursley's and living with Yusuke," he said. Quirrell pushed him aside and looked in the mirror again. "He lies," said the same voice. Quirrell grabbed him and asked Harry to tell the truth. "Let me speak to him," said the voice. Quirrell then took off his turban. Harry watched in horror as a face appeared on Quirrell's back.

Voldemort threatened Harry to give him the stone or die. Harry refused so Quirrell grabbed him. Then Quirrell began to scream and his hands were blistered badly. Harry realized Quirrell couldn't touch him so he grabbed him and held on. Quirrell screamed like crazy. "Let go," he yelled. Eventually Quirrell was no more, but Harry was out of energy. He stuck his hand in his pocket just as Voldemort's spirit passed through him. Miraculously the elixir saved him, but he fell unconscious.
