Chapter 6
We can pretend all the time
"Draco but you said…" Pansy started saying.
"I know what I said, and I already made a decision. I just hope is the right one" Draco stated and walked back to his common room, reaching it a couple of minutes after curfew.
Harry didn't know if the Holidays had come at last or too early, but they were here. Draco had proven to be a good friend, and even as hard as it was to believe, he had even been nice to Hermione. Never calling her names, sometimes ignoring her, and sometimes exchanging a couple of words, it was still huge for Malfoy.
Everyone else in Slytherin had decided to leave him alone completely. Only Malfoy as far as to be called friend, but he could live with the other ones just not caring about him.
Every student was waiting for the Hogwarts Express to move, excited to see their families one more time. For Harry it would be his first time, the day he had arrived didn't count.
He was a little nervous about Sirius most of all, he hadn't had the courage to write to him after Danielle's letter. His mom had written regularly so he was sure she had no problems, or at least wouldn't show her problem with him being in Slytherin. His father didn't write as often, but he still wrote to him or made small notes on his mother's letters, so he wasn't too nervous at seeing him. Sirius was the one whom Harry had no idea what to say.
He still didn't know why he was in Slytherin.
The first time he had been sorted the hat had said he would be great in Slytherin, but a lot had changed since then, he had even pulled Gryffindor's sword from the hat in his second year. Isn't the sword proof enough that he was a true Gryffindor?
Harry had tried reading the –Alchemy- book, to help Hermione, but it had been impossible with Draco now joining on their research team. They always ended playing wizards chess or exploding snap, making Madame Pince throw them out more often than Hermione would like.
The only people, who hadn't changed towards him since the beginning of the school year, had been the Gryffindors first years. They had antagonize him since the first day.
They reminded him of Draco and his cronies, from his world.
"When we come back from the Holidays we have to try and look into the books in the Restricted Section" Hermione brought Harry back from his thoughts.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Maybe there is information about Nicholas Flamel" Hermione answered.
"You think Flamel is a dark wizard?" Draco mocked.
"I have no idea who Flamel is" Hermione stated frustrated.
They had told Draco all about Fluffy and the importance of finding out, who Nicholas Flamel is, the week before.
Flashback
"So what is so important about Flamel and Fluffy?" Draco asked bored at being in the library again.
"It is a long story" Harry told him.
"It has to be more entertaining than watching Granger read" Draco pleaded. He had to be careful to always call Hermione by her last name, at least.
"Well earlier in the year Hermione and I got ourselves into the third floor" Harry began.
"You saw the three-headed dog?" Draco asked.
"You know about Fluffy?" Hermione asked surprised.
"Fluffy? That thing's name is Fluffy?" Draco asked, barely containing his laughter. "Who would call that monster Fluffy?"
"The owner obviously" Harry answered.
"Who is the owner?" Draco asked incredulous.
"Hagrid" Harry answered.
"The half-giant?" Draco asked back.
"Hagrid" Harry stated again.
"Fine, Hagrid" Draco relented.
"How do you know about Fluffy?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, come on Granger! If someone tells you, you are going to die if you go to the third floor, you have to go and see why. Otherwise how are you going to be prepared to survive?" Draco answered.
"That would be a trait of a Gryffindor" Harry teased.
"No. Gryffindors would try to find a way to go through the monster" Draco teased back "You haven't answer me why we need to know about Nicholas Flamel and the monster, though" Draco stated.
"There is obviously a reason Fluffy is there…" Hermione started to explain.
"He is guarding something" Draco interrupted.
"You noticed the trapdoor?" Hermione asked.
"What trapdoor?" Draco asked.
"How do you know he is guarding something if you didn't know about the trapdoor?" Hermione asked again.
"That is what those things are used for" Draco explained, "You aren't that good at researching are you?"
Hermione huffed insulted and went back to her book.
"So why do we care about Flamel?" Draco asked Harry for a third time.
"Hagrid said that whatever Fluffy is guarding is something of interest to Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel" Harry told him.
"Oh, I see" Draco said amazed. He knew what had to be there, he couldn't believe they had brought it to a school.
"If you've never heard of the Flamels then he must be a muggleborn" Hermione told Draco.
"The Flamels don't go to any of the society parties. I honestly don't know if he is a muggleborn" Draco said, it was true, they were so old, he didnt know if they were pureblood or not. They were powerful wizards.
End of Flashback
"What are your plans for the holidays?" Draco asked Harry.
"I'm going to France with my family" Hermione answered excited "We are going on a skiing trip"
"I'm going back home. I don't think we have something planned. Just Christmas at home" Harry answered "How about you?"
"Christmas with my family as always. New Year's at the ministry" Draco answered.
"Sounds like fun" Hermione said, not believing her words.
"It is not supposed to be fun. It is important to know everyone from the right families" Draco said.
"Hello Mr. Important, I am Harry James Potter" Harry curtsied at Draco, making Hermione try to contain her laughter.
"You are a Potter" Draco pointed out "like it or not, you are going to have to do that too"
"Why?" Harry asked.
"You are from an important family. You have to make connections" Draco stated.
"That doesn't sound like fun" Harry said making a face.
"It is not supposed to be fun" Draco told him.
"I can see the station" Hermione exclaimed, "We are almost there"
"Excuse me" Draco excused himself to go to where the other Slytherins were sitting, and where his things where.
"There he is!" Someone yelled from the crowd.
Before Harry could begin searching for his family, he found himself being squeezed.
"I can't breathe" Harry barely got out.
Danielle reluctantly let go of her brother, their parents smiling behind her.
"How are you Prongslet?" James asked him.
"Great!" Harry said meaning it.
"You had anymore memory loss? Anymore problems?" Lily asked trying to hide her concern.
"No, mom. Everything is perfect" Harry told her, effectively calming her.
Both James and Lily hugged their son hello, and apparated both their children back to Godrics Hallow.
"So Sirius is still mad?" Harry asked once they got home and he saw his godfather was nowhere in sight.
James and Lily had confused looks on their faces. Before they could ask Harry what he was talking about Danielle started laughing uncontrollably.
"I can't believe you bought it" Danielle said between laughs.
"Calm yourself down and explain young lady" Lily ordered.
"It was a harmless prank" Daniele quickly said.
"Explain yourself!" Lily ordered again.
"I wrote to Harry at the beginning of the year saying you two were disappointed about Harry being on Slytherin and that uncle Sirius had said he wanted nothing to do with the Potters" Danielle explained quickly.
"You did what?" Lily asked surprised.
James started laughing loudly gaining a glare from his wife.
"That is not funny!" James reprimanded Danielle still between laughs. Lily sighed dramatically.
"Why would you believe your sister after reading our letter?" Lily asked Harry.
"You sent your letter after Danielle" Harry said.
"We sent you our letter the same day we got yours" Lily said looking at her daughter.
"Maybe I did something?" Danielle asked in a whisper.
"What did you do?" Lily asked.
"I kept you letter and sent it a week after" Danielle said with a huge smile.
"Danielle Kelly Potter!" Lily started yelling, but got interrupted by James' laughter.
"You have to admit it's an awesome prank!" James defended his daughter "I can't wait to tell Padfoot"
At that moment several people came from the fireplace.
"It was a prank?" Harry exclaimed incredulous.
"It was funny" Danielle exclaimed back.
"What was funny?" One of the people that came through the fireplace asked.
"Danielle pranked Harry. It was hilarious" James said still laughing.
"You have to tell me about the prank!" the same person told Danielle.
Danielle started explaining everything again to her Uncle Sirius and his family, while Harry observed the new arrivals, whom Harry had never seen before.
Sirius and James started laughing, or more like howling, together after Danielle's explanation.
"I actually thought you all hated me" Harry acted offended.
"Oh Prongslet! I could never hate you" Sirius ruffled Harry's hair, "You know that. Besides, I am practically a Potter, I would never walk away from family... twice"
"How can you think we would hate you just because you are in Slytherin?" Lily asked him with a smile.
"It is the snakes house, and awful wizards go there…" James started saying before Lily hit him in the head "As I was saying before I got rudely interrupted…" Lily hit him again "We would love you no matter what" James finished while putting his hands on his head.
"Can we eat now?" a small boy with blonde hair whined.
"We are just waiting for you Uncle Remus" Lily told the boy. At that time the fireplace flared again and a man who Harry hadn't seen in a long time came through.
"Remus!" Harry exclaimed happily.
"Hello Harry" Remus greeted Harry first, and then the other people in the room.
"Can we eat now?" the same small boy as before demanded.
"Kyle!" A beautiful blonde woman said, making the small boy cross his arms and pout.
"Don't worry Laura, the food should be ready by now and Remus is already here so we should go to the dining room" Lily told the blonde woman.
Kyle smiled again and run towards the huge table, with another blonde boy about the same age, behind.
At the middle of supper, Danielle told the story about her pranking Harry again, for Remus to hear. James and Sirius started laughing again at the end of the story, hitting the table with their fists and holding each other to not fall.
"It was not funny" Lily said, trying to hide a smile.
"Actually it is" Remus stated "Good prank" Remus congratulated Danielle.
"Remus!" Harry exclaimed offended.
"You have to admit it was a good prank" Remus told Harry "You shouldn't have believe a word she wrote"
"I don't think it was funny either" the girl seated at his right whispered at him. She was about 8 years old, and had long, dark black, wavy hair.
"Thanks" Harry told her, trying to decipher, who the girl was.
"You are no fun Holly!" Danielle threw a piece of lettuce towards the dark haired girl.
"Food fight!" Sirius yelled.
Christmas had been fun, even with Pettigrew there.
Flashback
"Wake up!" Someone yelled running and knocking on every door.
Harry thinking something was wrong quickly grabbed his wand ad bolted out of his room looking for the danger.
"Why does she always wake us up like this?" Lily asked sleepily still wearing her pajamas.
"It's Christmas!" James exclaimed excitedly, carrying his wife downstairs.
"James Potter put me down!" Lily said laughing.
"Harry hurry up!" Danielle yelled from downstairs.
"Come on Harry! Your sister is going to die if you keep her waiting any longer" James yelled.
Confused, Harry walked down the stairs slowly, not putting his wand away.
Once he reached the downstairs' floor he saw his family sitting around a huge beautiful Christmas tree.
Danielle got up quickly and ran towards him, grabbing his hand and dragging him towards the tree.
"Can you be any slower?" Danielle whined, "I want to open presents!"
"We still have to wait for your uncles to get here" Lily said.
"But mom… " Danielle kept whining.
At that moment the bell rang and the fireplace flared.
"Merry Christmas family!" Sirius yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Sirius it is still to early" Lily reprimanded not meaning it.
"It is time for presents!" Sirius kept yelling. Danielle, Kyle and Joseph, Kyle's twin brother, started yelling excitedly.
"Presents! Presents" The kids, minus Harry and Holly, started chanting with Sirius.
"Sorry about that, but he gets even more excited about presents than the kids" Laura tried to apologize for Sirius.
"Well, there are presents" James told her and started chanting with Sirius and the kids.
"They act even worse than the kids" Lily laughed and opened the door.
"Hey Remus, Peter" Lily greeted.
"What is all that yelling about?" Peter asked.
"It's Sirius and James isn't it?" Remus asked and took his cloak off.
"They are by the tree" Laura pointed to where the tree was, while Lily closed the door behind Remus and Peter.
"Moony! Wormtail!" James exclaimed, "You are finally here!"
"What took you so long?" Sirius asked with an angry expression.
"It is only 7am Padfoot" Remus showed him the time with a spell "You are usually not up until at least 10am"
"Well, it is Christmas" Sirius said between his teeth.
"Can we open our presents now?" Danielle asked for the third time.
"Yes you can" Lily and Laura said at the same time.
It was chaos, everyone started ripping the paper and screaming at everyone.
Harry couldn't keep his eyes off Pettigrew.
"Are you alright Harry?" Lily asked him when she noticed he hadn't opened any presents, like everyone else "Is there something wrong?"
He didn't betray your parents. Harry started telling himself over and over again.
"Everything is fine" Harry said, not being very convincing.
"Why don't you open your presents?" Lily asked.
"May I be excused?" Harry asked.
"No, it is a family time" Lily said.
"Harry here is a present for you!" Sirius said in a singsong voice "Who is Hermione?" Sirius wiggled his eyebrows at him.
Harry took the box from his uncle and ripped the paper. There was a book inside about Alchemy.
"That is what I get for trying to help" Harry said to himself.
"I didn't know you were interested in Alchemy" Lily told him.
"I'm not, but Hermione thinks I am" Harry told his mom.
"Lying to a girl to get her to like you Harry?" Sirius teased.
"My baby is growing up" James removed a fake tear from his eye.
"She is just a friend" Harry told them.
"We know she is just a friend, and a girl. A girlfriend" Sirius kept teasing.
Holly got up and ran off.
Laura hit his husband in the head and went to look for her daughter.
"What was that for?" Sirius asked his wife, but Laura wasn't there anymore.
"Holly likes Harry" Danielle told everyone.
"She does?" Harry and Sirius asked at the same time. Danielle nodded to both of them.
"Prongs! Now we are really going to be a family!" Sirius started celebrating, James soon joined.
"They are planning my marriage at eleven?" Harry asked scared.
"They've been planning it since before Sirius got married" Lily told him.
"Forget it" Harry stated.
"Holly Potter. It sounds perfect doesn't it Prongs?" Sirius asked.
"It does Padfoot, come on, lets go plan the Potter-Black wedding" James and Sirius left the living room.
Danielle couldn't control herself anymore and started laughing.
"This is your fault" Harry accused Danielle.
"Oh, I take full credit!" Danielle laughed harder Remus, Peter and Lily joining.
"Why are they all laughing?" Kyle asked Harry.
"Are they crazy" Joseph asked Harry.
"Yes they are" Harry answered.
Even after that it had been a fun day. Harry had received a present from his parents, his sister, the Black family and one from Holly, from Remus, even one from Peter, one from Hermione and one from Draco which had raised several eyebrows from the people present but no one had said a thing.
They had played pranks all day, laughed and had a great time. He really loved his family, even if Peter had to be part of it.
End of Flashback
The rest of the week had flown by. It was true what they said, time flies when you are having fun.
He was looking for something to wear since apparently they had to go to the Ministry for New Years'.
"Harry are you ready yet?" James called from downstairs "Lily, Danielle!"
"5 more minutes!" Lily yelled back.
"Make that 10!" Danielle yelled.
"Harry, aren't you going to ask for 15?" James teased.
"Make that 30!" Harry yelled back still looking for some dress robes.
"I was joking!" James yelled.
"I wasn't!" Harry yelled back.
"I am going without you!" James yelled.
"No, you are not. Sit down and wait for us" Lily yelled.
"Why do we have to come?" Sirius whined, "It is the same every year. Dull."
"Sirius control yourself. You are the Head of a powerful family, act like it" Laura reprimanded.
Sirius pouted and looked away from his wife.
"Really?" Laura dared.
Sirius, knowing he would be in a lot of trouble, looked back at his wife and smiled.
"Sirius will never behave" James told Laura.
"I was hoping he would be the father" Laura said, looking at how well her daughter and sons were behaving.
"They are not my kids" Sirius accused Laura.
"I would have loved for that to be true" Laura told him, and Sirius looked offended.
"You asked for it" Lily told Sirius smirking.
"Can you teach me?" Harry asked Lily.
"Teach you what?" Lily asked.
"How to smirk" Harry answered.
"Smiling is always better, you don't need to know how to smirk" Lily told him.
"Come on Harry, lets go find other people our age" Danielle started dragging him and Holly away from the their parents.
"Hey, Harry!" Draco was standing a couple of feet away with Daphne and Pansy.
"Hey Draco, Pansy, Daphne" Harry greeted "This is my sister Danielle and my cousin Holly"
Both Pansy and Daphne nodded reluctantly.
"Are you Harry's friends?" Danielle asked them.
"You are Holly Black aren't you?" Draco asked the shy dark-haired witch.
"Yes" Holly said in a hushed voice.
"You got her to talk" Danielle said amazed.
"She couldn't talk?" Pansy asked.
"I actually don't know if she couldn't or wouldn't" Danielle answered.
Draco looked pointedly at both Pansy and Daphne, only Danielle noticing.
"So, did you find anything about Flamel?" Draco asked Harry.
"Who is Flamel?" Danielle asked curious.
"Why do you care about Nicholas Flamel?" Pansy asked.
"We don't" Harry lied.
"Harry found out, the three-headed dog is guarding something of Nicholas Flamel's" Draco told Pansy.
"You went to the third floor" Daphne stated, "You are more of a Slytherin than you let know"
"I am not" Harry said in a defensive manner.
"I actually don't know what he is doing in Slytherin" Danielle acted disappointed "It must be humiliating to have him in your house" Danielle told the Slytherins.
"Hey!" Harry acted offended.
"Hey Draco, Pansy, Daphne… Potter" Blaise and Theo greeted.
"Come on! Grow up already!" Harry exclaimed annoyed.
"Like you?" Daphne asked.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"Remember Minnie?" Daphne asked back.
"I thought it was a kitty, how was I supposed to know it was Professor McGonagall?" Harry defended himself.
"Something tells me you are not being completely truthful" Daphne answered.
Everyone started laughing.
"What are you laughing about?" Danielle asked.
"Your brother thought Professor McGonagall was a cute kitty" Pansy told Danielle.
"I still don't get it" Danielle said, but everyone was too occupied laughing.
"Come on Holly, we are not wanted here" Danielle dragged Holly away.
"I'm sorry, Potter" Theo said extending his hand for Harry to shake.
"Harry" Harry shook Theo's hand.
"So, what was this about Flamel?" Pansy asked.
"Harry thinks there is something of Flamel's in the third floor" Draco told Pansy.
"Why would the philosopher stone be in Hogwarts?" Theo asked.
"The philosopher stone?" Harry asked Theo.
"Flamel is famous, for being the only to have ever been able to create a philosopher stone" Pansy explained.
"I forgot about that!" Draco, fakely, exclaimed.
"And you call yourself a Slytherin?" Daphne teased, which got her a glare from Draco.
"You do know what a philosopher stone is, right?" Theo asked Harry.
"Yes" Harry answered, not really wanting them to give him an explanation" I just didn't know about Flamel"
"We should get the stone" Blaise said, earning him confused gazes from everyone in the group.
"A stone that can make you immortal and turn everything to gold?" Daphne continued, "Why wouldn't we get it?"
"What are you doing?" Draco asked whispering for only Blaise to hear.
"We told you we would be in, only if we knew what we could possibly gain, we want the stone" Blaise whispered back.
Working with people who already wanted to go through the faculty's traps to get the stone would be more helpful. Harry thought. Even, if he had to find a way to not let them near the stone.
"We should try getting the stone" Harry stated.
"What?" Draco asked confused.
"We should tell Hermione about Flamel, and start planning on how to get to the stone" Hary stated.
"The mud.." Pansy started saying but got interrupted by a light pinch from Draco "Why should we tell Granger?" Pansy asked.
"She is not a Slytherin" Theo stated.
"She is my friend" Harry said.
"Whatever, I don't care about Granger knowing" Blaise said.
"So it is settled then?" Daphne asked.
The rest of the night had been interesting.
Polite and dull conversations, to which if you put attention, had a lot of useful information.
"Come on Sirius, are you going to act like this every time he has to go?" Lily asked the overly grown, child of a man.
"He could, not go, and we would save us this dramatic show" Sirius told Lily.
It had been almost 30 minutes, of Sirius and Danielle, making a melodramatic show of saying goodbye to Harry. Everyone had at first been looking towards them, the loud family, but got bored after a couple of minutes.
"I will be back before you know it" Harry tried to calm them both down.
"You better not!" Danielle exclaimed, shocking everyone present "If you keep doing this to me, you are going to kill me!" Danielle fakely cried out.
"You will be getting on this train with me before you know it" Harry told his sister.
"I still have to wait another year!" Danielle exclaimed angrily.
"You won't even notice it" Harry told her.
"Can we go with Harry?" Kyle asked excited.
"Not yet" Laura told him, which made him pout.
"He acts too much like you" Laura told Sirius.
"That one is mine!" Sirius exclaimed pointing at Kyle, making the small boy giggle. Kyle ran towards Sirius. Sirius picked him up, making the boy laugh.
"Was it like this on September?" Remus asked amused.
"Worst" Lily and Harry said at the same time.
"Hey!" Sirius and Danielle both looked offended.
"I can't imagine how this could be worse" Remus said.
"Well imagine them both making the same dramatic show, with mom crying and dad joining everyone" Harry told Remus.
"What do you mean, your father joining everyone?" Remus asked.
"He was making a dramatic show and crying" Harry explained.
"Your father doesn't cry! He is a man!" James defended himself.
"Well, my father, the man, cried" Harry said, trying and failing to smirk.
"Don't try it honey" Lily told him.
"I have to be able to smirk" Harry whined.
"It is just not for you" Lily told him.
Knowing Lily was telling the truth, at least for now, he thought it would be wise to start saying goodbye before the train left him.
Thankfully his father was very strict about being on time, and they had arrived at the station an hour early.
He turned first towards his sister.
"Please this time don't prank me" Harry pleaded to his sister, when he hugged her goodbye.
"Sure" Danielle said innocently, too innocently for Harry to believe her.
"Promise you will prank your dad everyday" Harry asked the twins when he hugged them goodbye.
"We promise!" both of them exclaimed excited.
"Not fair" Sirius pouted.
"A prank war? Really, Harry?" Laura asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Sorry?" Harry shrugged, not feeling sorry at all.
"Bye Aunt Laura" Harry hugged Laura goodbye, the witch still narrowing her eyes at her nephew.
Harry hugged goodbye to both Remus and Peter, wishing happy birthday to Moony and being a little stiff when he had to hug Peter.
"Promise you will take better care of yourself" Lily ordered Harry.
"I promise" Harry told her.
"Ask Poppy if she has the results from your tests back, and write, ok?" Lily told her son hugging him goodbye.
"I will" Harry told her.
"It doesn't matter if you are wearing green colors, be a true Gryffindor and prank everyone" James told his son earning a slap on his head from his wife.
"Study everyday!" James winked at Harry, and hugged him goodbye.
Sirius started crying out loud, before Harry had even looked towards him.
"Take me with you!" Sirius begged Harry.
"I don't think neither Snape nor McGonagall would like that" Harry told him.
"Snape? Why would Snivellus have an opinion?" Sirius asked confused.
James, Laura and Lily started trying to get Harry's attention, to make him not say anything more.
"He is my Head of House" Harry told him confused, not noticing Laura or his parents.
"Snivellus is teaching? He is near children?" Sirius started yelling angrily.
While everyone tried to calm Sirius down, Harry turned towards Holly to say goodbye.
"You are not my Harry" Holly whispered, for only Harry to hear, and walked away, leaving Harry confused and scared behind.
"Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Mr. and Mrs. Black" Theo greeted ignoring everyone else "We should go" he told Harry, and walked towards the Hogwarts express, expecting Harry to follow him.
"I should go" Harry said to his family, waving goodbye still feeling confused.
Holly kept staring at him with mistrust.
"I found it!" Hermione entered the compartment where the first year Slytherins were.
"What did you find?" Harry asked.
"Well, I wanted to know why you were so interested in Alchemy, so I took the book for light reading, for the Holidays" Hermione started explaining.
"That is light reading?" Draco mocked. Hermione ignored him
"I found out who Nicholas Flamel is!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Actually Hermione…" Harry started saying.
"We already know who Flamel is" Pansy rudely interrupted.
"You do?" Hermione blushed.
"They found out about Fluffy" Harry explained "And they knew who Nicholas Flamel was"
"We are getting the stone" Daphne stated.
"We are doing what?" Hermione asked, "that is stealing"
"There has to be a reason why the stone is at a school, were hundreds of children are" Blaise said.
"Because Hogwarts is the most secure place in the wizardry world" Hermione explained annoyed.
"Gringotts is the most secure place. The only reason why it would be in a school, is because they are expecting a student to get it" Daphne said.
Harry was impressed at how they had deduced that. In his world it had been intended for him to get it, in this one he was betting Neville was the one supposed to get it.
"Why can't one of us be that student?" Blaise asked.
"I don't think that is why the stone is there" Hermione stated.
"Thankfully, we don't care, we are still getting it" Daphne said.
"Well I think a Professor is trying to steal it" Hermione said mysteriously.
"Really?" Pansy mocked "who?"
"Professor Snape" Hermione answered
Everyone except for Harry and Hermione started laughing, making Hermione blush.
"I heard him talking to Quirrell" Hermione said in a hushed voice.
"If a professor is trying to steal it, our best bet would be Quirrell" Draco stated "Haven't you notice, how every time Harry speaks out loud in class, Quirrell forgets to stutter?"
Harry was amazed at how quickly they were deciphering everything.
"He does?" Hermione asked.
"And you call yourself a Ravenclaw?" Pansy asked the girl.
"You have to pay more attention to your surroundings, not just to books" Daphne told Hermione.
"Stop attacking Hermione" Harry ordered, making everyone quiet.
"Sorry" Pansy and Daphne told Hermione, without meaning it.
"We can assume Fluffy isn't the only thing between us and the stone" Harry said.
"But is the only thing we are sure of" Draco stated.
"We have to find out how to get pass the monster" Pansy said.
"We could ask Hagrid" Hermione said.
"I don't get near creatures" Pansy said, with a disgusted expression directed at Hermione. Harry didn't noticed.
"Hagrid is not a creature" Harry told her.
"Half creature then" Pansy corrected.
"Leave it" Draco told Harry, making him stop the growing argument "Maybe you and Granger can ask your friend"
"We could write to Hagrid" Hermione said.
"Do that, as soon as we arrive at the school" Daphne said.
"I know you don't like me…" Hermione started saying.
"No, we don't. But Harry does" Pansy told her.
"Maybe we can try…" Hermione started saying.
"No, we can't" Daphne told her, knowing Hermione had been trying to extend her hand on friendship.
"Why not?" Harry asked annoyed.
"You are from a light family Potter, so you wouldn't care. We can't be seen with someone like her" Theo told him.
"Someone like her?" Harry asked getting riled up.
"Calm down Potter" Daphne told him in a bored tone of voice "We won't insult her, nor will we do anything to her"
"It's fine Harry" Hermione put her hand on his arm to calm him down.
"No it's not" Harry stated, "You have no right to treat her like that"
"Actually they do" Draco said, making Harry glare at him "Calm down Potter, I am not saying is right, but it is legal"
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked.
"Purebloods have more rights than… muggleborns. We are considered more important, by wizardry law" Draco explained.
"You are joking" Harry asked disbelievingly.
"I am not" Draco stated.
Harry hadn't heard about that before.
"There are laws that say that?" Hermione asked slowly.
"Yes, there are" Pansy answered slowly, mocking her.
"You should try and get Quirrell to make a mistake" Draco told Harry, changing the subject.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Honestly Granger! You should have been a Hufflepuff" Pansy exclaimed.
"If Quirrell makes a mistake, we will know for sure, he is a fake" Daphne explained.
"That wouldn't prove anything!" Hermione stated angrily.
"It will prove he is hiding something" Blaise said.
"It can be anything" Hermione said.
"Everyone that is hiding something, does it for a reason. If you know that reason you can control the person" Theo said.
"That is awful" Hermione exclaimed alarmed.
"That is life" Draco stated.
"I will try to get Quirrell to make a mistake next class" Harry said.
"If you could do it in the Great Hall it would be better. The bigger the audience, the better" Daphne told him.
