Chapter 30
"So where are you from and why did you move so far away from the United Kingdom?" asked Carlisle curiously. It had been eating him up inside since they had moved, it wasn't every day that someone moved from the UK to Forks for no reason.
"Well to be honest everything would need explained if we were to answer that question" said Hermione frowning thoughtfully.
"We might as well tell them" sighed Harry.
"Must we tell them everything?" moaned Draco paling a little.
"Yeah it is for the best" said Harry he didn't want them digging anything they didn't want to tell them up. Or worse yet going to the UK just to see what they could find out about them.
"Where do we start? Harry I think its best if you started" said Hermione.
Glowering at Hermione, he huffed then began his tale "We are Witches and Wizards we find out when we are eleven unless you have magical parents. My parents were magical but they died when I was one and a half years old. I somehow survived a curse that should have killed me, I was sent to my magic hating relatives and there I was abused and kept in a cupboard" said Harry.
"We didn't become friends right away, me and Harry were friends right away" said Ron grinning "Unfortunately I wasn't the brightest then and I upset Hermione on Halloween that's when the trouble started. Someone let a troll in and Hermione was still in the bathroom so me and Harry went to save her. After that we were unseperatable we did everything together."
"We discovered there was someone evil at the school trying to steal something," smirked Hermione "The philosophers stone - made by Nicolas Flamel three hundred years ago it could turn any metal into pure gold and of course prolong your life" the others rolled their eyes only Hermione would give more information than what was needed.
"We got through all these obstacle's and I ended up sacrificing myself so Harry and Hermione could continue…" said Ron.
"There wasn't enough potion so we could get through the flames without being burnt so one of us went forward and one went back….I went to get help while Harry continued onwards" said Hermione.
"Why didn't you go and ask for help?" demanded Esme looking shocked children shouldn't want to do those kind of things.
"We did before we went down, we told her and she just told us to leave that the stone was perfectly safe" sneered Ron.
"Just like that?! She didn't even check it out?" said Esme looking rather shocked.
"No she didn't check it out to her we were just stupid trouble making eleven year olds" said Hermione shaking her head.
"I stopped Quirrell from getting the stone and then that was basically the end of our first year" said Harry.
"How did you stop them?" asked Edward curiosity was killing him.
"When he touched me….he burnt to ash something to do with my mother sacrificing herself for me when I was a baby" said Harry.
They wall turned wide eyed at him, suddenly very afraid of him he could turn people to ash if they touched him? That was a very scary thought, the younger ones realised they were being stupid because they had seen many people touch him at school.
"Please tell me your next few years you were allowed to be a child! Not continue saving this school!" fumed Esme angry at the negligence of the school.
"No they just got better and better" grinned Harry sarcasm lacing his words heavily.
"So what happened?" asked Rosalie looking sympathetic.
"Well I wasn't getting any mail from my friends and I assumed they had forgotten about me. I was wrong it was a house elf trying to stop me going back to Hogwarts…silly little thing was trying to save me!" grinned Harry his eyes lightening up genuinely for the first time he obviously had an enormous love for this house elf.
"Yeah he took it way too far, sent a bludger that could break every bone in your body to chase after him. If it wasn't for Hermione he might have been in the hospital wing for quite a while" said Ron.
"Not to forget he tried to stop you getting to school, so you took a charmed flying car to school! Being seen by no less than seven Muggles!" said Hermione, Ron and Harry started laughing themselves silly Hermione didn't realise that she had said the exact same words Severus Snape had used in those days.
"Yeah and broke my wand!" said Ron, "Which was a nightmare but at the end of the day it did save us"
Harry nodded "Yeah we had a new teacher as usual defence against the dark arts, he was a total fraud and obsessed with himself and fame which he tried to use me to get more off" sneered Harry.
"There was strange things happening at School the school cat Mrs. Norris was found petrified above her the words 'The Chamber Of Secrets Has Been Re-Opened Enemies Of The Heir Beware' and ghosts and students were apparently being petrified" said Ron.
"I was one of them, but once I found out I used a mirror to see around corners, I ended up petrified too. The piece of paper I left scrunched in my hand was found by Harry and Ron, I didn't join in this adventure only heard all about it after I woke up" smiled Hermione remembering the pride she felt when she woke up and they told her.
"What could petrify you?" asked Carlisle frustrated he couldn't think of anything that could do what they were suggesting.
"It was a basilisk, the glare of a basilisk can kill you, but thankfully no one had looked it in the eye and they were only petrified" said Hermione.
"Our teacher the fraud tried to run so we forced him to come down with us," smirked Harry "He tried to oblivate us, which means remove our memories and take the credit for something he hadn't done. Of course that's what he had been doing previously obliviating people and taking credit for things he had not done."
"So what happened to him did he go to prison?" asked Jasper.
"No he's in a mental hospital his own spell backfired and he lost all his own memories" grinned Ron thinking back on his empty face asking who he was. 'Hello…who are you…who am I'
"Good that man deserved everything he got!" said Rosalie smugly.
"Yeah, but he was rather pitiful afterwards," said Ron, "you would have had to have seen him to agree."
"Dare we ask about third year? I'm assuming you were fourteen then? if I have the British system correct?" asked Carlisle.
"Well you have the British system right but in the wizarding world we start at the age of eleven, I was thirteen in third year, obviously" said Harry.
"There are many things in the wizarding world, there is a creature so dark its very presence could chill you to the bone, take every happy memory you have and leave you feeling empty." explained Hermione.
"And it can suck your soul out" said Ron fake cheer in his voice.
"Jesus" said Jasper, the others were all thinking exactly the same.
