"Hermione, Ron, I am thinking that the Socerer's Stone is in Dumbledore's room." Harry said eagerly.

"Come on, Harry. Why would Mcgonagall have the stone?" Hermione and Ron both nodded matter-of-factly. Macgonagall was dead and Voldemort was about to take over the school. Hmmm. It was actually getting serious. Another thing was that, the three students had all seen the murder being done, Voldemort smirking and Dumbledore crying(!) for the first time in their lives. It was like...It was like Dumbledore had fallen in love with Mineva Macgonagall. If he was still alive, no one would have thought that besides Malfoy in the fear of getting expelled from school. But still. For crying out loud, this was not possible with the Dumbledore in the past.

"Do you think that Dumbledore is perhaps using Macgonagall to pull us in?" Harry asked.

"I...dunno know. Maybe. But still, remember that Dumbledore is not a person who would lie to have something done. But also remember that he changed. Now he's an enemy, hmmm?" Hermione said.

Harry rapidly dug through his belongings under the bed and found the Marauder's Map. After he took out the map, he spotted Dumbledore and Voldemort in Slytherin dorm. He moved quickly to Hermione and Ron. Although he was worried about what another evil plan to kill him would be made in there, he was also eager to steal the Socerer's Stone while Dumbledore and Voldemort was not in the office. However, he still had to remember, that Socerer's Stone was not mentioned in the Maurader's Map and it was almost certain that Dumbledore and Voldemort took it with them for protection. Hogwarts was not a safe place anymore. Dementors were everywhere and the Minister of Magic often visited tocheck upon the students. Though he was one of Harry's most unforgetable enemies, Harry knew that he had to tell the Minister about Voldemort about to take place as the Headmaster and also about Dumbledore's betrayal.

Hermione, Ron and Harry got into the cozy air of the invisibility cloak and headed down towards the headmaster's office. They saw Snape walking down the aisle and he almost touched them, but again, as always, failed to reveal whom. When they finally got into the room(Harry already knew the password. Voldemort tried to change them, but the portrait woman would not listen to HIM. She did not even listen to Dumbeldore anymore. She was one of the few people who knew about Dumbledore's Betrayal. They searched all over in case it dropped, but to Harry's expectations, the stone was missing. They had obviouslytaken it with them. Voldemort had gotten the power back with the stone. That was why he was confident of winning the upcoming duel with Harry. Harry finally, after a long thinking, decided to go to the Slyntherin Homeroom.

They (Hermione, Harry and Ron) waited almost an hour, waiting for a slyntherin student to go in the portrait hole. Since theydid not know the password, how were they going to get in? It was impossible. Even the genius wizard. Hermione could not get the thick door opened. For a moment, Harry's scar hurt. He could feel Voldemort getting closer and closer. Or, was it one of his death eaters? Then, the door opened and Dumbledore, as well as Malfoy went out.

As the door opened, the three of them squeezed in and went in. There was no one but Tom Riddle and Cho Chang in there. Harry's heart broke at the sight of his crush planning to demolish him. It awed Hermione and Ron, but Harry knew this was not a time to get depressed, only the time to geta duel with Voldemort and get the stone. He had to demolish at least one of his Horcruxes.

Voldemort, at first did not notice anything at all. He just kept sniffing around, as if there were some smelly, invisible pigs around him. Then he got up and said:

"Ah, Mr. Potter, Ooooh! Mr. Weasley and Ms. Granger has come to visit me also! What...(shivering lips)disgraceful...!" Voldemort's face suddenly turned cold, as if it was ice. He came over and took the blanket away, not having a single trouble at all (like Snape).

"Ha! Did you not know I had a sniffing...technique to find out about malicious, oh! Malicous, disgraceful, people invisible? I bet you came here to get the...stone, and I am sorry to say that Dumbledore took it with him when he left. You may leave, however not before our duel." Voldemort said.

Well, Harry came for duel and he was up to it. He was unafraid. They took out their wands and bowed. Hermione and Ron almost collapsed to the floor, looking helplessly as Harry fought Voldemort, the wizard ranking almost the second after Dumbledore on the list of powerful wizards. There was green light and blue light. They were somehow connected, and the weaker one would obviously have to be hurt. The line was became wrinkled as the enemies got weaker and weaker. Voldemort got weaker and weaker. Harryinherited the strength Riddle lost every second and got stronger. The point of the light was almost an inch away from Voldemort. Harry pushed harder. A little, A little more. Voldemort cut his silver arm, due to the light, however, regained strength. As Voldemort fell, the Socerer's Stone flinched and threw its way out of the pocket as if it wanted to get there. Hermione got to it first and handed it to Ron. Ron touched it and handed it to Harry. As young as they were, they at least knew that touching socerer's stone would melt somebody they touched after the touching the stone. Harry threw the stone at the invisibility cloak and moved the blanket with his feet so nobody would know where the stone went. Cho stared, eyes wide, as the three best friends and students of Hogwarts pushed as hard as they could against Voldemort's stomach. A few seconds later, Hermione was still attacking his stomach and Ron was attacking his head and Harry his leg. It was a few minutes before Voldemort was completely defeated because he had the ability to keep getting up again and again repeate"dly.

"Yes! We did i.." Ron was about to say as Voldemort slowly got into his shape again. The power of the Socerer's Stone had worn off. Harry bent down to look for the stone he had kicked to somewhere else, but there was no luck. They were stuck in a sticky situation.

"ohhhhh..." Hermione said mournfully.

Harry suddenly attacked Voldemort: Crucio!

It took a few seconds until Voldemort flinched and before he got back his strength again, Harry got up and ran out of the door. While running, he stepped on something and picked it up. He kept moving on.

As he went out the door, he said to himself, thank god.

He knew that Hermione and Ron would feel that way also.
