Chapter 2: The Philosophers Stone came to Hogwarts….and went.
Harry thoroughly enjoyed his first year at Hogwarts. With Malfoy, they had become like the new Weasley twins, except their jokes were more mean than funny. They hang around with Crabbe & Goyle of course, but Harry & Malfoy were now known as the Deadly Duo; spreading fear and chaos through the school. It was like they owned it; no-one would stand up to them, even the older students, and sometimes the teachers.
Harry and Malfoy's favorite targets were none other than the Gryffindors! There seemed to be an unspoken agreement, as old as the school itself, clearly saying that Gryffindors and Slytherins have to hate each other! So Harry's gang of Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle particularly loved terrorizing the Gryffindor gang: Ron Weasley, Seamus Finnigan, Neville Longbottom and Dean Thomas. They also had a special interest in the redheads. The Weasleys had it tough. The war was constant between the gangs; duels between classes, spells flying over breakfast, lunch and dinner; personal belongings always going missing, it was a nightmare! The teachers were at their wit's end with them, they had totally lost control.
Of course Harry and Malfoy had become favorites in Snape's class; Snape always favored the Slytherins. But Gryffindors were favorites in most the other classes, which only made the Potter gang hate them even more.
Potter had joined the Slytherin Quidditch Team after Snape witnessed him terrorizing Neville Longbottom during their first flying lesson; he had stolen a present Neville's grandma gave him and wanted to leave it on the roof so he would never find it. That same day, Harry found out his dad had been seeker too, but for Gryffindor. He felt that funny sensation that was in his stomach, the one he had when Dumbledore would look at him with those eyes full of disappointment, but brushed it off instantly.
The only thing that would upset Harry while at Hogwarts was Dumbledore. Harry hated being around Dumbledore! For some reason he couldn't explain, he felt really uncomfortable. Dumbledore would always look at him like he did the first night, which really irritated him to the core. He always felt like he had done something wrong when Dumbledore was around. Of course most times he had…I mean that's why you get sent to the headmaster's office is because you got in trouble for doing something stupid. But somehow Harry knew it was more than that, but couldn't quite figure it out….
At the end of his first year, Harry found out that a Philosopher's Stone that had been hiding at Hogwarts was stolen by the dark wizard who killed his parents. According to Malfoy, Voldemort was almost back to power and recruiting more followers. Harry was unsure how to react to this news. It's true the wizard killed his parents, and for that he felt angry because he had to grow up with the Dursleys; but Harry's curiosity was overcoming him. What is he like? How come he didn't die when his killing curse backfired? How can a man have so much power? Why do all these so-called Death Eaters admire him so much? What is it about him?
