An: Hey! Sorry it's taken me so long to update. Life is busier than I would like it to be. I would also like to apologize for how short this chapter is but I am already working on the next chapter so hopefully I'll be able to get it out in the next few days. Enjoy
Ch 8
By the time classes had started again Harry and Ron had told Sam about Harry's new invisibility cloak and the Mirror of Erised. Sam had to admit that he agreed with Ron that the best thing would be to stay away from it.
Dean had wasted no time in telling the twins just who Fluffy was and was rather put out when the only reaction they had was disappointment that they hadn't run into the dog before the younger students.
It was not long before all three older boys lost interest in the three headed dog and decided that they no longer cared about Nicolas Flamel. The four first years however continued their search for the man.
"I think we should just give up on this Flamel guy," Ron groaned, closing yet another book and laying his forehead on it tiredly.
"Harry swears he's read the name before so it must be here somewhere," Sam encouraged also closing a book and starting on another.
"I still think that we should just go give the books back to the library and be done with it. Fred, George, and Dean gave up. Why can't we?"
Sam and Hermione both rolled their eyes at their friend's attitude when Harry ran into the room grasping a Famous Wizard card exclaiming, "I found him!"
"Found who," Ron asked turning his head to stare at Harry.
"Nicolas Flamel, who else? Neville ran into some trouble with Malfoy so I gave him a chocolate frog to make him feel better and he gave me the wizard card." He held up the card to show his friends smiling before reading the description. "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!"
Ron sat up, eyes wide, looking excited to finally get somewhere with their search.
"Stay here," Hermione cried jumping up and running up the stairs and coming back down with a rather large book. "I never thought to look in here! I got this out of the library for a bit of light reading."
"Light reading," Ron questioned.
"You're even more of a nerd than I am," Sam said eyes wide at the sight of the massive book.
"Listen, to this," Hermione exclaimed, ignoring Sam's comment. "Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Sorcerer's Stone!"
"What's that," Ron asked.
"It's a stone that can transform any metal into pure gold and produce the Elixir of life," Sam said.
"Elixir of Life," Harry questioned.
"Eternal life," Sam explained.
"You're wrong Sam. You're the bigger nerd," Ron stated. "You knew that without even having to look it up."
"What? When I visit my Uncle Bobby there is nothing there but books so I read okay."
"Hey do you think this is what Fluffy is guarding," Harry asked bringing the conversation back onto topic.
"Probably. Dumbledore and Famel are friends," Hermione stated.
"No wonder Snape wants it so badly. It makes any metal into gold and gives you eternal life. That's pretty cool," Ron said.
Sorry it's short. Please review and let me know what you think.
