"Andrea! You're a genius!" Lisa yelled.
"See? I'm smarter than you thought I was, and I bet even you wouldn't have been able to think of that."
"I wouldn't have! You're a genius!"
Just then there was another knock at the door. Lisa and Andrea walked there with suspicion.
"Do you think it's Duke again? Do you think he's realized the rock's smaller than before?" Lisa asked.
"I don't know. It could be Devin. He's the only one around us. No one really comes to visit people who live in the middle of the woods." Andrea said.
"I know but he left just a few seconds ago! Should we answer it?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah, I'll hide the pieces. You answer the door. I'll come back when they're safe and act like I had no clue the person was here." Andrea said.
Lisa handed he piece of the rock to Andrea and Andrea ran off down the hall. Lisa walked twoard the door and ansered it.
"Hey Lisa! I saw Duke was here again. What did he want this time?" it was Devin.
"Devin! Oh, I'm so relieved! We thought it might be Duke again!"
"Would that be a bad thing?" Devin said with a smirk.
"Well, yes kind of. Well, it could be. He could have noticed something and... well, it's not important. So what brings you here?""Oh, I just saw Duke here and was wondering what he wanted this time. It's always the same thing. Checking up on that save in your cellar. Is that what it was?" Devin asked.
Just then Andrea walked back into the room.
"Devin! Oh I'm so relieved!" Andrea said.
"Wow! You guys really must not want Duke back here!" Devin said.
"Did you tell him?" Andrea asked looking at Lisa.
"No" Lisa replied.
"Tell me what? What's going on?" Devin asked curiously.
"Do you think it would do any harm telling him?" Andrea asked Lisa.
"Probably not." Lisa said.
"Alright, we'll tell you. Duke had us looking after the Sorcerer's Rock. That was what was in the safe. He said that he wanted it kept there until the Dark Lord was gone. Now he is destoryed and he came to get the rock, but I broke off two pieces of the rock. He wouldn't tell us what it was for. He hadn't seen the rock for three years, so we thought he might not notice it's reduction in size. So when you knocked on the door, we thought it was him. That's all, really." Andrea explained.
"Wow. What exactly is the Sorcerer's Rock?" Devin asked.
"It's supposed to make you live forever. He's planning something with it. We don't know what, but he has to be." Lisa said.
"Oh... well, I also came to show you something." Devin said.
"What?" Lisa and Andrea asked together.
Devin opened his bag and began to pull something out when the news reporter came on again.
"There was an army of clones. They pushed everyone into the Ministry of Magic and now the doors are locked! They're trapped in!" the news reporter said, terrified.
Lisa, Andrea, and Devin exchanged looks and each had a sign of worry in their eye.
