Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake was frozen solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snow balls to follow around Quirrell and bounce off his turban, just to make Abby laugh.
No one could wait for the holidays to start. While the Gryffindor common room and the Great Hall had roaring fires, the corridors were icy and a bitter wind shook the classroom windows. The worst were the dungeons were Snape held his classes, their breaths came out in little puffs of fog and they kept as close as possible to the hot cauldrons.
"I do fell sorry". Draco Malfoy said, one potion class, "For all those people who have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because they're not wanted home". He was looking at Harry and Abby as he spoke. Crabbe and Goyle chuckled, Harry and Abby ignored them. It was true, Harry and Abby weren't going back to Privet Drive for Christmas. They didn't feel sorry for themselves at all, it'd probably be the best Christmas they'd ever had.
At lunch Hermione came in with her trunk rolling behind her, Harry, Abby, and Ron were sitting at the Gryffindor table. Ron and Harry were playing chess while Abby watched, Hermione can over and frowned.
"Knight to A3". Harry said, and without touching the piece it moved across the board. Ron looked stumped for a minute before grinning,
"King to A3". He said.
"What"? Abby whispered frowning. The King piece stood and headed for the Knight, it picked up its chair and knocked the Knight into pieces.
"That's total barbaric"! Hermione exclaimed.
"That's wizards' chess". Ron replied, and then he looked at her trunk. "See you've packed".
"See you haven't". Hermione shot back.
"Change of plans, my parents are going to Romania, to visit my brother Charlie". Ron explained.
"Good, then you can help Harry and Abby, there going to go to the library and look for more information on Nicholas Flamel". Hermione said.
"We've looked a hundred times". Ron groaned, Harry and Abby nodded. Hermione grinned and leaned forward,
"Not in the restricted section". She whispered, and then she straightened and smiled at them. "Happy Christmas".
On Christmas morning both Harry and Abby woke to Ron yelling their names,
"Harry! Abby! Wake up! Come on you two wake up"! Abby came skidding to a halt on the balcony over looking the common room first, soon Harry came skidding to a halt too- well, he almost stopped, but ended up crashing into Abby instead.
"Sorry Abs". He said, she rolled her eyes at him and faced Ron.
"Happy Christmas Harry, Abby"! Ron said happily.
"Happy Christmas, Ron"! They said together.
"Looks like you've got some presents too". Harry and Abby starred at each other wide eyed.
"We've got presents"? They asked together.
"Yeah". Ron confirmed Harry and Abby's faces split into huge grins and they raced down the stairs. When they got to the common room they sat together in one of the huge chairs and pulled the first present onto their laps.
"Hang on", Harry started. "This one's for both of us". Abby frowned and gently took the card from her brother.
"Your fathers left these in my possession before they died". She read. "Use them well". Frowning she sat the card on the table and helped her brother open the package. Two beautiful shimmer cloaks almost fell from his lap,
"They're cloaks". Abby whispered grabbing one.
"Well, let's see then, put them on". Ron said. The siblings stood and quickly wrapped the cloaks around themselves.
"Whoa"! Ron breathed, Harry and Abby looked down and gasped, their bodies had completely disappeared.
"My body's gone"! They both whispered as their heads hung in mid air it seemed.
"I know what those are"! Ron gasped standing. "Those are Invisibility Cloaks"!
"We're invisible"? Harry mumbled.
"I wonder who sent them". Ron said as he picked up the card.
"There was no name". Abby said walking over to him. "It just said, 'use them well'".
Harry and Abby's other presents consisted of a box of Chocolate Frogs each from Hermione, two fifty cent pieces from Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, the pieces interested Ron more than Harry and Abby so they told him he could keep them. And their last present was from Mrs. Weasley.
"I told her you weren't expecting any presents and- oh no", Ron groaned. "She's made the two of you a Weasley sweater".
Both Harry and Abby had torn open the last packages to find a thick, hand knitted sweater. Harry's was emerald green while Abby's was a lavender purple, and there was a large box of homemade fudge under each sweater. Before they could say anything else the dormitory door flew open and Fred and George Weasley came in.
"Merry Christmas"!
"Hey look, Harry and Abby got Weasley sweaters too"!
Fred and George were wearing blue sweaters, one with a large yellow F on it and the other a G. Abby frowned and looked between the twins, before she could say anything the twins started to talk again.
"Harry and Abby's are better than ours". Fred said as he and George held up the sweaters. "She obviously makes more of an effort if you're not in the family".
"I swear you two are weird". Abby said softly still looking between Fred and George.
"What makes you say that"? Fred asked.
"Well the fact is that you are wearing George's sweater and he's wearing yours makes it pretty clear that you guys are a little weird". Abby said smirking at their shocked faces.
"How did you figure it out"? Fred asked, Abby shrugged and pulled her sweater over her head, Harry soon followed.
"Why aren't you wearing yours, Ron"? George demanded. "Come on get it on, they're lovely and warm".
"I hate maroon". Ron mumbled halfheartedly as he pulled a thick maroon sweater over his head.
"You haven't got letters on yours". George observed. "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid- we know we're called Gred and Forge". Abby and Harry laughed as the twins switched shirts, still surprised that Abby had figured it out so quickly.
"What's all this noise"?
Percy Weasley stuck his head through the door. He had only gotten half way through his presents as he too had a lumpy sweater, but his was draped over his arm and of course Fred quickly snatched it up.
"P for prefect! Get it on, Percy, coming on, we're all wearing ours, even Harry and Abby got one".
I-don't-want-." Percy said thickly as the twins forced his sweater over his head, knocking his glasses almost off his face. Then the twins marched Percy back to his room, leaving Harry, Ron, and Abby to go get dressed.
Around five Harry came and sat next to his sister, she had a book in her hand and Harry was surprised to see it was a muggle book. The Phantom of the Opera, since arriving at Hogwarts Abby hardly read Muggle books anymore.
"What Harry"? She asked softly not taking her eyes from the book.
"Tonight we go and look in the restricted section, using our Invisibility Cloaks". Harry said quietly, Abby looked from her book and looked at her brother for a moment, and then she nodded and returned the words on the page. Tonight was defiantly going to be interesting.
Around midnight Harry made his way toward the Gryffindor common room. Abby was already there, in the same spot, still reading. When Harry had talked to her earlier she had just started the book, now it looked as if she merely had 5 pages left.
"Abs". He said, she held up her finger and Harry sighed before sitting across from his sister. 5 minutes later she shut the book and sighed,
"Good book, sad though". She paused, "Alright let's go". She quickly covered herself with the cloak and headed for the door. Harry quickly followed, hoping not to run into his invisible sister.
The Restricted section of the library was in the way back, when they entered the restricted section Abby removed her cloak.
"No"! Harry hissed, Abby turned and seemed to look directly at him, even though he was still under his cloak.
"What? Nobodies in here, it's not like we're gonna get caught". She said before searching the shelves. Abby lit a lantern and held it high, Harry stayed close enough to see the titles of the books. A huge black one caught Harry's eye, he tapped Abby's shoulder and because the book was big and so heavy, they both had to pull it from the shelf. Abby held it while Harry flipped it open. Suddenly a face pressed itself against the pages and let out a blood curdling scream. Harry snapped the book shut and they shoved it back onto the shelf.
"Who's there"? Harry and Abby spun around. Filch was coming! They ran to their cloaks and pulled them from the table they had played them on earlier. But the lantern was on top of Abby's cloak and when she wrenched it from the table it was sent crashing to the floor. Abby let out a string of crushes and ran for the door, Harry not far behind her. They really didn't know where they were going, they were just running. But suddenly Abby skidded to a halt,
"What"? Harry hissed in her having run into her.
"Someone's coming". Abby replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, but Harry couldn't hear footsteps. Then suddenly he heard them, but they were far off, he looked where he thought Abby might be in total confusion. How did she hear that? But he didn't have time to ask her as Snape came pushing Quirrell into a wall,
"S-servus—." Quirrell stuttered.
"You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrell". Snape snarled. Before Quirrell could reply, Snape whirled around and seemed to look right at Harry. Instantly Harry stilled and moved closer to Abby, but for some reason Abby wasn't by his side. Harry didn't even have time to panic before he had to back away from Snape as he grabbed at the air, narrowly missing the top of Harry's head. But when he turned back to Quirrell, Filch came down the hall with the broken lantern.
"Some one was in the restricted section of the library, I found this, it's still hot. Which means there is a student out of bed". Filch explained. Snape, Filch, and Quirrell headed for the library leaving Harry and Abby in the corridor. When he couldn't hear footsteps anymore Harry took off his cloak and called his sisters name,
"Abby"! It was a whisper but she should have been close enough to hear. Sure enough, Abby suddenly threw off her cloak. She standing next to a door, her back was to Harry and she seemed to be pondering whether or not to open the door. Finally muttering to herself she pushed open the door and slipped inside the room, dragging her cloak behind her. Harry had no choice but to follow her. It looked like an unused classroom. There were no chairs and desk in the room instead, there was a magnificent mirror. It was almost as high as the ceiling, with a gold frame, and it stood on two clawed feet. Abby walked slowly toward the mirror, not caring that every part of her was telling her to get out of the classroom. When she stepped in front of the mirror her eyes widened, standing in front of her was a woman, she had a round face, light brown skin, large eyes and black hair- hair as black as Abby's. Then Abby noticed the woman was smiling at her, standing next to the woman was a man that stood about 5 inches taller than the woman, he too had light brown skin. He had brown hair that was long and had been pulled back into a ponytail, but his eyes- they were Abby's eyes. Abby got closer to the mirror, his had eyes just like Abby, they were a chocolate brown like Abby's were most the time.
"Mom"? Abby whispered. "Dad"?
They simply smiled at Abby and looked back at Harry,
"Harry come here, look"! Abby said excitedly. When Harry reached her side he starred at the man and woman.
"Your parents". He whispered, Abby nodded. But then two other people appeared next to Abby's parents. The woman had dark red hair and bright green eyes, just like Harry. The man was tall, thin and wore glasses, his hair was jet black, unruly and stuck up in the back, just as did Harry's.
"Our Parents". Harry whispered. Abby starred at her moms and dads, seeing as how she was adopted she had two sets of parents. Both tore their eyes away and whispered,
"We'll be right back".
"Ron you've gotta see this"! Harry yelled tearing into the boys dormitory, Abby not far behind him.
"Ron you've gotta see this"! Abby yelled as Harry whipped back his covers.
"Come on Ron get up"! Harry said.
"Why"? Ron asked groggily.
"You just gotta see this". They replied together. Five minutes later they returned to the room with Ron.
"You gotta look it's our parents"! Harry said as they stopped in front of the mirror.
"I only see us". Ron said sleepily.
"Go on look in properly". Harry said as he and Abby stepped to side and put Ron directly in front of the mirror.
"Look at Me"! Ron exclaimed.
"Huh"? Abby asked.
"I look older, I'm head boy, I'm holding the Quidditch Cup, and I'm Quidditch captain too"!
"What"! Harry and Abby exclaimed.
"I look good". He said standing up straight. "Hey, do you think this mirror shows the future"?
"How can it"? Abby asked sadly.
"Our parents are dead". Harry finished. But there visit was cut short by Mrs. Norris who once she left, they were sure went to go get Filch.
The next night, Harry and Abby went by themselves. And sure enough, there were their parents, smiling at them warmly. Abby and Harry sank to the floor in front of the mirror. There was nothing to stop them from staying there all night with their parents, nothing.
"Back again Harry, Abby"? Harry jumped, but Abby merely shrugged and turned to face Professor Dumbledore. Harry had walked straight past him but Abby knew he was there when they arrived, it was like she felt it.
"I didn't see you sir". Harry stuttered.
"I did". Abby said softly. They were both surprised to see that Dumbledore was smiling.
"So, I see that the two of you, like hundreds before you have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised".
"We didn't know it was called that, sir".
"But I expect you've realized by now what it does"?
"It—well-shows us our family—."
"And it showed your friend Ron himself as head boy".
"How did you know-?"
"I don't need a cloak to become invisible". Dumbledore replied. "Now, can you think what the Mirror of Erised shows us all"? Harry and Abby shook their heads.
"Let me explain, the happiest man in the world would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would be able to look into it and see himself exactly as he is. Does that help"?
"It shows us what we want….whatever we want". Abby said slowly.
"Yes, and no." Dumbledore said quietly. "It shows us the deepest desire of our heart. However, the mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it. Which is why tomorrow, it will be moved to a new home". Harry and Abby's heads snapped up to look at Dumbledore. "And I must ask you both not to go looking for it again. It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live". Harry and Abby nodded, put back on their cloaks and headed back to the Gryffindor tower.
"I had you looking in the wrong section, how could I be so stupid"? Hermione slammed a book down in front of Harry, Abby, and Ron. Abby and Ron cursed under their breaths but all three scrambled back to avoid having their fingers crushed. "I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading".
"This, is light"? Ron asked, Hermione glared at him as she flipped open the book. She scanned the book for a moment before exclaiming, "That's it! Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Sorcerer's Stone"!
Abby knew what she was talking about where as Harry and Ron had no clue,
"The what"? They asked together.
"Honestly, don't you two read"? Hermione asked. "The Sorcerer Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers. It will transform any metal into gold. And it also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal".
"Immortal"? Ron said softly.
"It means you'll never die". Hermione explained.
"I know what it means"! Ron almost yelled, only to be shushed by Harry and Abby.
"There have been many reports of the Sorcerer's Stone over the centuries, but the only Stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicholas Flamel, who just recently celebrated his six hundred and fifty six birthday". Hermione closed the book.
"So that's what the dog is guarding, Flamel's Sorcerer Stone"! Abby said happily.
"And Hagrid knows more about it than any of us", Harry said.
"So we go see Hagrid tonight". Abby finished.
That night when they knocked on the game keeper's door, he opened it a let out a rush of hot air.
"Hagrid", Harry started.
"Don't mean to be rude but I'm in no sorts to entertain tonight". Hagrid said moving to close the door.
"We know about the Sorcerer's Stone". All four said together, Hagrid swung the door open fully and starred at them in shock.
"Alright, get in here". He grunted.
"Snape's trying to steal it". Abby said as they all picked somewhere to sit.
"Blimey, you're still not on about him are ya"? Hagrid asked walking over to the fireplace.
"But Hagrid-." Hermione started. She was interrupted by a clanging noise that was coming from the pot hanging over the fire in the fireplace. Hagrid put on a pair of mittens and dug into the pot and brought out what looked like an egg. He juggled it back and forth between his hands on his way back to table.
"Hagrid, what is that"? Harry asked as he sat it on the table and they all crowed around.
"I know what that is"! Ron said but then he frowned. "But Hagrid, how did you get one"?
"I won it, off a guy I met in the pub". Hagrid said.
"If that's what I think it is, you really need to stop going down to the pub". Abby said. The egg began to rock back and forth on the table, then it shook and they all leaned back. Then suddenly a whole bunch of pieces of the egg went flying. Finally when the creature was free they all gasped,
"Is that, a dragon"? Hermione asked.
"That's not just a dragon". Ron said getting closer. "That's a Norwegian Ridgeback". The dragon wasn't exactly pretty, it kinda looked like a crumpled black umbrella. Its spiny wings were huge compared to its skinny jet like body, it had a long snout with wide nostrils, the stub of horns, and bulging orange eyes.
"Isn't he beautiful"? Hagrid asked, then dragon looked at Hagrid and walked shakily toward him. "Oh bless him, he knows his mommy". Then Hagrid began to tickle the dragons chin, "Hello Norbert".
"Norbert"? Harry asked.
"Well he's gotta have a name don't he"? Hagrid asked, he continued to tickle the dragon until it sneezed and flames shot from his mouth catching the end of Hagrid's beard on fire.
"He'll have to be trained up of course", Hagrid said putting out his beard, and then he frowned and looked out the window. "Who's that"? They all turned.
"Malfoy". Harry and Abby said as they watched the blond run across the grounds back toward the school.
"Oh dear". Hagrid whispered.
"Malfoy saw the bloody dragon"! Ron exclaimed.
"Is that bad"? Hermione asked. Suddenly Abby stopped dead in her tracks,
"It's bad". She said starring straight ahead. They all turned to see Professor McGonagall starring at them. Behind her, stood Malfoy.
"Nothing, I repeat nothing gives students the permission to roam the halls at night. Fifty points will be taken". McGonagall barked.
"Fifty"! Harry and Abby exclaimed together.
"Each". McGonagall corrected. "And as for punishment, all five of you will receive detention".
"Hang on", Malfoy started. "I must have heard you wrong Professor, I thought you said the five of us"?
"No you heard me correct Mr. Malfoy. See you too were out of bed after hours". Harry and Abby smirked. "You will join your classmates in detention, eleven o'clock tomorrow night, meet Mr. Filch in the Entrance Hall".
The next night they were led by Filch down to the grounds.
"It's a pity the old punishments died out….they use to hand you by your thumbs from the ceiling for a few days…still got the chains in my office…oh, I miss the screaming". He told them as they made their way across the grounds, Abby moved closer to Harry while Hermione moved closer to Ron, both focused on getting farther away from Filch.
"You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight". Filch informed them as they got closer to his hut. "He's got a little job to do in the forest". They could hear Hagrid sniffing twenty feet away,
"Oh god man you're not still on about that dragon are you"? Filch asked.
"Norbert's gone". Hagrid informed them as he readied a large crossbow. "Dumbledore sent off to Romania, to live in a colony".
"Well that's good isn't it"? Hermione asked. "He'll be with his own kind".
"Yeah but if he don't like Romania"? Hagrid asked, Filch rolled his eyes. "What if the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby".
"Buck up man, you're going into the forest for gods sake"! Filch exclaimed.
"The forest"? Malfoy had a hint of fear in his voice. "I thought that was a joke. We can't go in there, students aren't allowed, there's-". There was a horrible howl coming from the forest. "Werewolves in their". He stuttered.
"There's far worse things in the forest than werewolves in their". Filch whispered, his bulging eyes searched the forest. "Nighty, night".
When Filch was out of sight, the five slightly scared students turned back to Hagrid,
"Alright, let's get this over with". Hagrid said heading toward the forest, Fang at his side. They walked in silence until Hagrid stopped suddenly and bent forward, on the ground was a pool a shiny silver liquid.
"You see this, this is unicorns' blood". Abby's eyes widened. "There's a unicorn in there that's bin hurt badly by sumthing. This is the second time this week, I found one dead last Wednesday. So it's our job to find the poor thing. There are centaurs that might be willing to help, though I doubt it. Their names are Ronan, Bane, and Firenze". Hagrid stood and tucked his crossbow in his arm. "Okay, Ron Hermione, you'll come with me".
"Okay". Ron sounded close to tears. Harry, Abby, and Malfoy groaned.
"Harry, Abby you'll go with Malfoy". Hagrid instructed.
"Fine then, but I get Fang". Malfoy said.
"Fine, but just to let you know, he's a bloody coward". Hagrid informed. They all looked down at the huge dog in disbelief. Sighing they went their separate ways.
"Just wait til my father hears about this". Malfoy grumbled as they walked with Fang through the forest. "This is servants work". He complained.
"If we didn't know better Malfoy". Abby started.
"We'd say you were scared". Harry finished.
"Scared Potters". Malfoy scoffed, but he whirled around as a howl came from behind them. He tripped and almost hit the turf, but Abby grabbed him and set him up right.
"Um…thanks". He whispered, Abby nodded and they continued to walk. Abby was in the middle of the two boys and she kept her eyes straight ahead as the boys looked around them. Suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks, she grabbed both of their arms and nodded in front of them. She half expected Malfoy to ripped his arm from her grasp, but he didn't. A unicorn lie dead as a hooded figure drank its blood from its neck like a vampire. They stood frozen, but when the figure looked at them all hell broke lose. Malfoy let out a terrible scream and bolted back the way they had came, Fang followed. Abby and Harry clapped hands over their scars as a searing pain went through them. The figure got to its feet and seemed to glide toward Harry and Abby, they could only stumble back. They fell back into a bunch of veins and before the figure could get to them a centaur soared over their heads and charged at the figure. It recoiled and flew up into the trees.
"Harry and Abby Potter, the forest is not safe at night time, especially for the two of you". The centaur had white-blond hair and a palomino body.
"What was that thing you saved us from"? Abby asked.
"A monster, it's terrible to slay beautiful creature such as the unicorn. But drinking its blood will you keep you alive even if you are a mere second from death. But at a terrible price". The centaur explained.
"Who would choose such a life"? Harry asked.
"Can neither of you think of no one"? He asked.
"Lord Voldemort". The siblings said together.
"Do you know what's hidden in the school at this very moment, Mr. and Miss. Potter"? He asked getting extremely close to them.
"The Sorcerer's Stone". Abby answered.
"Come, we must get you both out of the forest". He lowered himself onto his front legs so Harry and Abby could clamber onto his back. "My name is Firenze". He added. Harry got on first then pulled Abby up, Firenze was just about to take off when their was suddenly a sound of more galloping. Two more centaurs came bursting through the trees. Harry and Abby guessed they were Ronan and Bane.
"Firenze"! The one Abby guessed to be Bane thundered. "What are you doing? You have humans on your back! Have you no shame? Are you a common mule"?
"Do you realize who these humans are"? Firenze asked. "These are the Potter children. The quicker they leave the forest the better".
"What have you been telling them"? Bane growled. "Remember, Firenze, we are sworn not to set ourselves against the heavens. Have we not read what is to come in the movements of the planets"? The second centaur Abby was sure was Ronan pawed the ground nervously.
"I'm sure Firenze thought he was acting for the best". He said in a gloomy voice. Bane kicked his back legs in anger.
"For the best! What is that to do with us? Centaurs are concerned with what has been foretold! It's not our business to run around like donkeys after stray humans in our forest"! Abby wasn't looking at Bane, she was looking at Firenze.
"Harry let me in front". She whispered as soon as Bane said donkeys. Harry complied and scooted back so she could sit in front. Firenze suddenly reared onto his hind legs in anger. Abby wrapped her arms around his middle and held on, Harry almost squeezed the life out of Abby as he held on.
"Do you not see that unicorn"? Firenze yelled at Bane. "Do you not understand why it was killed? Or have the planets not let you in on that secret? I set myself against what is lurking in this forest, Bane, yes, with humans alongside me if I must". And then Firenze whisked around, with Abby clutching his middle in a soft yet firm grip, plunged into the forest. Finally he slowed to a stop and warned them to keep their heads bowed for low branches. Abby didn't let go off his middle but she did loosen her grip. They stopped on the path that led back to Hogwarts,
"Harry! Abby"! All three turned to see Hermione racing toward them, Fang was on her heels barking madly, and Hagrid brought up the rear.
"Hello Firenze". He said stopping to catch his breath. "I see you've met our young Mr. and Miss. Potter".
"This is where I leave you two". Firenze murmured. Nodding Harry and Abby slid off his back, "You are safe now".
"Thank you, for saving us". Abby said smiling at him. "And the ride". Firenze bowed and returned the smile.
"Good luck, Harry and Abby Potter". He said. "The planets have been read wrongly before now, even by centaurs. I hope this is one of those times". He turned and galloped back into the forest.
Back inside the common room, Harry and Abby couldn't sit down, they paced in front of Ron and Hermione shakily.
"Snape wants the stone for Voldemort". Harry said.
"And Voldemort's waiting in the forest". Abby said.
"All this time we thought Snape just wanted to get rich". Harry said.
"Stop saying the name"! Ron whispered as though Voldemort could hear them. Harry and Abby ignored him.
"Firenze saved us, but he shouldn't have". Abby whispered.
"Bane was furious, he was talking about interfering with what the planets say is going to happen". Harry reminded her.
"They must show Voldemort coming back". Abby mused outloud.
"Bane thinks Firenze should have let Voldemort kill us". Harry said.
"Guess that's written in the stars as well".
"Will you stop saying the name"! Ron hissed. Abby raised an eyebrow at him.
"So all we've got to for now is for Snape to steal the stone". Harry went on completely ignoring Ron.
"Then Voldemort will be able to come and finish us off".
"That'll make Bane happy". They said together.
"Hang on you two". Hermione said causing the siblings to stop their pacing and look at her. "You're both forgetting something. Who's the one wizard You-Know-Who afraid of"? Ron, Harry, and Abby shrugged. "Dumbledore! As long as Dumbledore is around Harry, Abby, you're safe. As long as Dumbledore's around, you can't be touched".
I know these updates are coming kind of quickly, but this story is rather similar to canon in the first book, so I'm trying to get it done quickly, so I can move onto the more interesting parts.
