As this story is nearing an end, I thank all you readers for sticking with me until it finishes! Yay! This is probably either the fourth, third, or second to last chapter!
Chapter 14: Puzzle Pieced TogetherThe dragon hiccupped and blew fire on Hagrid's beard. Hagrid patted it down before his coal black beard singed completely.
"Well we've got to go now" Harry hinted and they both whisked on the cloak again and closed the large door behind them, walking silently back to their dormitories.
Griffindor Common Room…
"Why didn't I think of it before?" Harry paced around the room, speaking to Hermionie and Ron, who were seated on the deep red couches.
"When a teacher steals the Sorcerer's stone, they don't want it for themselves! They would give it to Voldemort. And with the Elixir of Life, Voldemort will be strong again! So then he'll come back, or course"
Ron had a perplexed look on his face, "But if he comes back, wouldn't he try to kill you?"
"We're forgetting something…" Hermionie interrupted, "Which wizard had Voldemort always feared?"
Ron glanced at Harry and shrugged.
"Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore is around, you're safe Harry" she answered her own question when nobody replied, "As long as our headmaster is here, no one can lay a hand on you!" Hermionie smiled reassuringly.
Harry smiled back softly.
Courtyard…
"Are you ok Harry?" Ron and the group were walking down a pathway.
Harry clutched his scar, "My scar, it hurts, but it's happened before"
"You should go see the nurse about this…" Hermionie suggested.
"I think it's a warning…It means danger is coming"
They passed by under an archway and found Hagrid perched outside his hut, playing a wooden flute that wasn't near identical to the ones they had found Kurama and Kagome holding.
The three abruptly stopped.
"Why didn't I see it before!" Harry exclaimed.
"What?" Ron asked, the two turning to face him.
"Hagrid wanted a dragon egg and a stranger his happened to have one! I mean like, how many people wander around carrying huge dragon eggs in their pockets or something!"
They rushed up to where Hagrid was playing.
"Who gave you that egg?"
"I never saw his face… he had a hood on him and kept it up" Hagrid replied, stopping the music.
"You guys must have talked or something!" Harry insisted.
Hermionie and Ron furrowed their brows, wondering where this was going to.
"He wanted to know wha sort of creatures I looked after. Of course, I told him, 'After Fluffy, a dragon's going to be no problem, at least'"
"Was he interested in…Fluffy?"
"The monster!" Ron whimpered, interrupting their conversation.
"Of course he was interested! How often do you get to see a three-headed dog! But I told him, 'the trick with any beast is to know how to calm him. Like Fluffy for example…He'll fall asleep if you just play him some music"
Hermionie, Harry, and Ron took quick glances at each other, looking ready to bolt off any second.
"…I shouldn't have told you that….-Hey! Where are you going!" He hollered to the retreating group of friends.
Outside, By a Tree…
"So…how do you think the meeting went?" Kagome asked, exhausted by the train of events.
"It went pretty well, I would say" Kurama replied, carefully slinging an arm around her shoulders.
Yusuke snorted, "There's no need to report back to sir toddler now…he was there!"
"You could have at least been a bit more respectful!" Sango grumbled, shoving him a bit playfully.
"I found information that Albus is leaving on a trip today" Kurama started darkly, looking at his other three friends for an opinion.
Sango cocked her head and thought for a minute before answering, "This Voldemort dude is probably going to do something tonight"
"Then…I guess we sneak in tonight?" Kagome offered.
"Yeah!" Yusuke pumped his fist enthusiastically, "I finally get to beat up this guy!"
The miko rolled her eyes, "Don't you find this really weird that teachers are sneaking around the school, ((Referring to themselves)) doing something we're not allowed to do?"
The four of them laughed at the thought of it.
"9pm tonight, third floor?" Sango suggested, taking a bite out of her sandwich.
Yusuke snatched the other half and stuffed it in his mouth, talking a bit muffled because of the bread, "Fine with me" he shrugged.
"I can probably arrange that" Kurama spoke thoughtfully.
"9pm it is then!" Kagome cheered.
They stood up and brushed some food crumbs off their lap.
"Time to get back to class" Yusuke sighed.
"Time to get back to teaching…see you in class Yusuke" Sango stuck her tongue out and the 4 departed to go where they were needed at the moment.
Transfiguration Classroom…
The clicking and stomping of shoes echoed down the hallway was three students in black robes raced down as blurs to Professor McGonagall's classroom.
"We have to see Dumbledore immediately!" Harry exclaimed, slightly leaning over the desk and talking in a rushed tone.
The professor looked up from her papers, "I'm afraid he's not here…He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and left"
"He's gone? But this is important!" Harry urged, "This is about the Sorcerer's Stone!"
Professor McGonagall's expression turned into something more serious, "How did you know-?"
"Someone's going to try and steal it!" He interrupted.
"I don't know how you know, but I assure you it is well protected. Now would you go back to your dormitories? Quietly please"
Hermionie and Ron looked a bit exasperated.
Harry sighed and shook his head, disappointed. In defeat, they trudged out of the classroom warily, teacher watching their backs as they left.
Hallway…
"Hagrid talked to not a stranger that night" Harry explained to his friends, "It's one of the teachers in the school and now they know how to get past Fluffy!-"
"Monster" Ron corrected, screwing up his face in distaste.
"-And with Dumbledore gone…-"
"Yo!" Yusuke called down from behind them, "We have potions next, right?"
"Uh…yeah…" Hermionie replied. They couldn't talk about the stone now because someone else was here too.
He gave the three an intimidating glare for no reason at all and turned and left, "I'll see you at potions"
"What was with that?" Hermionie turned and whispered to Ron.
"I think we should go down the trap door tonight…" Harry suggested, staring at the spot where Yusuke just evacuated.
