Chapter 12

Harry ron and hermione got to the room of requirment and walked in. the walls were almost instantlyt coversed with railing with hogwarts school uniforms hanging on them. harry looked through the uniforms and went to find his size

"we got out clothing problem fixed" he said grabbing a shirt in his size

"yes now all we need is a book that could give us some information" hermione said turning around. the other wall was cover in a book shelve that was so high you couldn't see the top. hermione got a glint in her eyes and smiled.

"hermione neither me nor harry like that look in your eyes" ron said handing harry a pair of pants

"but there are so much books. i'm just so tempted to read them all."

"And there is not enough time to read them all. We are only looking for one thing" Harry said pulling on a shirt.

"Yes i know" hermione sighed as she pulled out a book and started to read.

After about fifteen minutes had been through three books without finding anything.

She sighed as she got up and grabbed another book. she walked back to the arm chair and opened the book and started to read once again.

"why aren't you guys searching for anything?" she asked flippng the page "do you execpt me to do all the work."

Ron looked over at Harry as hermione got up once again and took another book out of the shelve. "well are you guys just going to stand about or start searching!"

Harry and Ron quickly got over to the shelve and both pulled out a book. They sat on either sides of hermione opening the book. Harry looked dully at the small writing of the book. Harry couldn't find anything on what he was looking for. He didn't even know how hermione could be so interested or go through so fast.

After a while there were only two books left on the shelf. Hermione took out a old ratty one. and started to slip through it. Ron haveing the other book not even looking at the pages as he flipped them.

"Hey i found something!" hermione said. harry got up and walked behind hermione so the book was in view. Ron dropped his book out of his hands and then went behind her also. The book looked as thought it was all made out of parchment and in handwriting. no text book writing. In the middle of the page was the symbol on the stone. It was all in some other langage that harry could not read.

"what does it say?" ron blurted out.

Hermione started to scan throught the page "Time, the symbol means time"

Hermione took out the stone and ran her hand along it. she looked at the back. it had a phrase of some sort on it.

"I can't make it all out. I got all i could out of it. And by what I have the stone and the book of past and future go together" she said

Harry and Ron looked at each other with a face of confusion. "well can't we figure out the rest tomorow. I'm dead tired" Ron said

Hermione nodded as she got up and grabbed the book. "Okay but i'm bringing the book with me. it might help us"

The all got up and walked out of the room.

"hey harry" Raes voice echoes through the empty hall. All three of them turned around and saw Rae and Kasandra stood there.

"Where were you guys headed?" harry asked

"common room" He said

"Oh your going to the common room also" hermione said cheerfully.

Ron and Harry both gave her uneasy looks. She looked at them as though she was saying everything-is-going-to-be-okay.

"Yep we can walk together" Kass said

"What were you guys doing?" ron asked

"We were in the library studying for NEWTS" kass anwered and she tucked her hair behind her ears

On their way to th common room they talked about what they got on their OWLS and the up coming NEWTS. Some things that Rae and Kass were talking about Harry and the other two had no idea what they were talking about, but they played along anyway.

"Hornswoggle" Rae said to the portrait.

The fat lady swung opened and the five walked into the common room. Rae looked at all of them "well i am really tierd so i will be going to bed now. G'night" he said to them as he walked up into the boys dormitorys.

Kass looked at the three "yah it has been a long day for me also. i'm going up also" she said disapearing behind the girls dormitory doors.

Hermione smiled as kass walked out the door. She took two textbooks and passed them to harry and ron,

"you don't acttly expect us to study! your mental hermione when it comes to tests" Ron said

"No but if someone walks in pretend you are studying. It would look odd if we were just sitting around doing nothing" she answered.

"and what about you. you don't have a text book!"

"i have this" she said holding up the old book. "i'm going to try to figure out some more. Pass me that quill behind you"

Ron passed Hermione the quill and she quickly dissapeared behind the book making notes to herself. Ron fell asleep about fifteen minutes later. Hermione was only on the tenth page after an hour. Harry found himself staring into the flames of the fire. wishing that sirius would come out. Come and talk to him about anything, school, about his grief, about how getting back to his own time! but he knew that would not happen. but he still stared into the dancing flames. untill they were no longer lit up. leaving only glowing ambers left in the fireplace. harry then fell asleep.
