There was no denying that Christmas break was one of the best Christmases ever, for they had the Great Barton Paintball war in Christmas as well as a homemade dinner. Not only that but Cooper's and Jennifer's fathers told them fully of what happen when Dumbledore came over. It crack them up, for Jennifer wanted to see Dumbledore burping up slugs, maybe she could do the same on Malfoy. But she decided to save that for later for first they needed to prank Snape and Dumbledore when they get back. Jennifer, Cooper and Hermione were a bit sad to go after all the find they had at the farmhouse, but they went back none the less and played Exploding Snap on the way back to Hogwarts. It wasn't till they got back to the Common Room and meet up with Ginny, Harry and Neville that Jennifer remembered about Nicolas Flamel. When Hermione asked about Nicolas Flamel that Hermione wasn't thrilled and become unhappy when she learned that Harry left the dorm three nights in a row because of a mirror.

When the term started up again that they had less time to look up Nicolas Flamel, plus it was started to get a little dull of trying to find Nicolas. During their time in the library that Cooper and Jennifer real so looked through other books to find some ideas to use to prank Dumbledore and Snape with. With the bags of pranks some ideas from some books, and maybe their paintball guns along with their bows and arrows that they could figure out a way to prank Snape and Dumbledore. The one that had the least amount of time was Harry, apparently Wood was working the team harder before, more so since the last match. Jennifer was glad that she wasn't on the team this year, as well as Cooper, they may try out for next year but they hadn't quite decided if they would or not. It was during one of Harry's practices that Jennifer and Coper were playing normal, or what everyone else calls muggle, chess when Harry came in and sat down next to her. At the moment, it was a close call of who was winning at the moment, sometimes Jennifer and Cooper decides to call it a tie when they been for too long and there was no hope that either one was winning. Jennifer looked up at Harry and was about ready to tell him to give her a minute but she noticed that Harry looked worried.

"What is the matter with you?" It was just than that Hermione and Ginny came over as Harry told them about Snape being the referee for the next match.

"Don't play."

"Say you're ill."

"Pretend to break your leg."

"Really break your leg."

"I can't. There isn't a reserve Seeker. If I back out, Gryffindor can't play at all." At that moment Neville, of who was at the library earlier to look for more books on Nicolas Flamel, toppled into the common room. Of how Neville got into the common was anyone's guess, for his legs were stuck together because of the leg locker curse. Everyone but Harry, Hermione, Jennifer, Cooper, and Ginny fell over laughing, Hermione performed the counter curse. Neville's legs sprang apart before he got up trembling. Than Hermione and Jennifer lead Neville to where Cooper, Ginny, and Harry were sitting.

"What happened?"

"Malfoy, I met him outside the library. He said he'd been looking for someone to practice that on."

"Go to Professor McGonagall! Report him!" Neville shook his head.

"I don't want more trouble." Jennifer spoke.

"You've got to stand up to him, Neville! He's used to walking all over people, but that's no reason to lie down in front of him and make it easier." Neville this managed to choke out.

"There's no need to tell me I'm not brave enough to be in Gryffindor, Malfoy's already done that." Harry pulled a chocolate frog and gave it to Neville of who looked like he was going to cry.

"You're worth twelve of Malfoy. The Sorting Hat chose you for Gryffindor, didn't it? And where's Malfoy? In stinking Slytherin." Neville's lips twitched in a weak smile as he unwrapped the frog.

"Thanks, Harry... I think I'll go to bed... D'you want the card, you collect them, don't you?" As Neville walked away to the dorms that Harry looked at the wizard card.

"Dumbledore again. He was the first one I ever-" Harry gasp, Jennifer raised an eyebrow as he stared at the card before looking at the four of them.

"I've found him! I've found Flamel! I told you I'd read the name somewhere before, I read it on the train coming here - listen to this: 'Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel'!" Hermione jumped to her feet, she looked very excited.

"Stay there!" Hermione sprinted up the stairs to the girl's dormitories, the four of them barely had time to exchanged mystified looks before Hermione was dashing back with an enormous old book in her arms.

"I never thought to look in here! I got this out of the library weeks ago for a bit of light reading." Hermione started flicking through the pages, muttering to she seem to find what she was looking for. "I knew it! I knew it! Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Sorcerer's Stone!" That didn't have the effort that she expected. Jennifer, Ginny, Cooper and Harry spoke at the same time.

"The what?"

"Oh, honestly, don't you four read? Look - read that, there."

"Of course, Hermione, what do you think we have been doing in the library and how do you ink we been doing it? By having our eyes pop it's?" Hermione did the bother to respond to that statement, or she didn't bother to listen as Hermione pushed the books towards them and the four of them read.

The ancient study of alchemy is concerned with making the Sorcerer's Stone, a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The stone will transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal. There have been many reports of the Sorcerer's Stone over the centuries, but the only Stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicolas Flamel, the noted alchemist and opera lover. Mr. Flamel, who celebrated his six hundred and sixty-fifth birthday last year, enjoys a quiet life in Devon with his wife, Perenelle (six hundred and fifty-eight).

"See?" Hermione spoke as soon as Ginny, Harry and Jennifer finished reading. "The dog must be guarding Flamel's Sorcerer's Stone! I bet he asked Dumbledore to keep it safe for him, because they're friends and he knew someone was after it, that's why he wanted the Stone moved out of Gringotts!"

"A stone that makes gold and stops you from ever dying! No wonder Snape's after it! Anyone would want it."

"That would explain of why we never found Flamel in any of the books we read since he is not recent." Everyone looked at Jennifer when she said that.

The next morning during defense against the dark arts, while they were copying down different ways of treating werewolf bites, that Hermione, Cooper, Jennifer, Ginny, Neville and Harry were talking about of what they would do with a sorcerer's stone. Jennifer said that she destroy it for she didn't have much use for the stone, for she didn't want a long live nor did she wanted to have a bunch of good for she enjoys the life she has. Cooper said the same thing, both of them liked being in the shadows and Jennifer hates the attention she has been getting since entering the wizarding world. After each one said of what they would do with the stone that Harry spoke.

"I'm going to play. If I don't, all the Slytherins will think I'm just too scared to face Snape. I'll show them... it'll really wipe the smiles off their faces if we win."

"Just as long as we're not wiping you off the field." It seems that as the match drew closer that it seems that Harry was getting rusher nervous, not that Jennifer could blame him. It seems that Snape was following Harry around and made potions a torture for Harry as well, Jennifer began to wonder if Snape knew that they were aware of the stone. When the day of the match came that Hermione, Cooper, Ginny, Neville and Jennifer wished Harry good luck. When they got to the stands that could find spots next to Seamus and Dean of which Jennifer didn't mind one bit. Seamus and Dean was confused by their grim expression as well as why the five of them have their wands out. Unknown to Seamus, Dean or even Harry that the five of them been practicing the leg locker curse so that they would be ready to use it on Snape. Hermione was reminding them of how to say it.

"Now, don't forget, it's Locomotor Mortis."

"We know, Hermione." Jennifer noticed of how angry Snape looked when the teams came out, Jennifer noticed Dumbledore in the stands and she figured that was part of the reason of why he looked angry. It seems Cooper noticed that for Cooper spoke up.

"I've never seen Snape look so mean. Look -they're off Ouch!" Jennifer looked back to see Malfoy sitting there, it was clear that Malfoy poked Cooper.

"Oh, sorry, Barton, didn't see you there." Malfoy grinned broadly at Crabbe and Golye. "Wonder how long Potter's going to stay on his broom this time? Anyone want a bet? What about you, Barton?" Cooper glared at Malfoy.

"Go to Hell, Malfoy." The glare that Cooper gave Malfoy made Malfoy shirk back from Cooper rim slight fear. After that, that none of them paired nay heed to Malfoy, even when he tried to taunt them. It didn't take long for Harry to go into a spectacular dive, of which he flew past Snape before he pulled out of the dive holding the golden snitch. The stands erupted in cheers, as far as Jennifer knows that the snitch never been caught so fade.

"Neville! Neville! The game's over! Harry's won! We've won! Gryffindor is in the lead!" Jennifer danced up and down her seat as well as Ginny and they both hugged each each other as Hermione hugged Parvati, one of their other dorm mates, in the front row. After about hour after it become dark that Harry came into the common room after watching the match.

"Harry, where have you been?" At the moment Seamus was going around the room shouting to all the Gryffindors in the common room.

"We won! You won! We won! Everyone's waiting for you in the common room, we're having a party, Fred and George stole some cakes and stuff from the kitchens." Harry spoke quietly to Ginny, Hermione, Cooper, Neville and Jennifer of who seem rather breathlessly at the moment.

"Let's find an empty room, you wait 'til you hear this..." They left the common room, Harry checked to make sure that Peeves wasn't inside before shutting the door behind them. Than Harry told them of what he seen and heard when he saw Snape crossing the grounds.

"So we were right, it is the Sorcerer's Stone, and Snape's trying to force Quirrell to help him get it. He asked if he knew how to get past Fluffy - and he said something about Quirrell's 'hocus pocuss- I reckon there are other things guarding the stone apart from Fluffy, loads of enchantments, probably, and Quirrell would have done some anti-Dark Arts spell that Snape needs to break through -"

"So you mean the Stone's only safe as long as Quirrell stands up to Snape?" Jennifer snorted before she spoke.

"It'll be gone by next Tuesday."
