I don't own Harry potter just my Oc.

Chapter 17

Ellie's p.o.v.

The person that I saw right in front of us wasn't Snape or Voldemort...It was Quirrell. I was expecting someone dark and scary not him. I was relieved that it wasn't Snape.

"You!" Harry gasped. Quirrel smirked at Harry's astonished face.

"I knew it! I told you it wasn't Snape!" I spoke up turning my head towards my brother.

"Me," he said calmly. "I wondered whether I'd be meeting you here, Potters."

"I knew Snape wouldn't do this!" I exclaimed

"Severus?" Quirrell laughed, he wasn't twitching and it wasn't his usual quivering tremble either, but cold and sharp.

"Yes Severus does seem the type, doesn't he? So useful to have him swooping around like an overgrown bat. Next to him, who would suspect p-p-poor st-stuttering P-Professor Quirrell?" I glare at him clenching my fists. I knew That gut feeling I had of him was right.

"I never suspected him." I snapped. He looked me over.

"Of course you wouldn't suspect him since you've spent quite some time with him during the holidays." He said

"But Snape tried to kill me!" Harry said

"No, no, no. I tried to kill you. Your friend Miss Granger rushed to set fire to Snape at that Quidditch match. Knocking me over breaking my eye contact. Another few seconds and I'd have got you off that broom. I'd have managed it before then if Snape hadn't been muttering a counter curse, trying to save you."

"He tried to save me?" Harry said

"Of course he was, why do you think he refereed the next match? Pity that the man had to waste his time with both of you, being as I'm going to be killing both of you tonight."

He snapped his fingers and suddenly we were tied up in a rope.

"You've ruined everything for me, the two of you have. I could have had the Stone months ago! You two just had to go after that troll I set out on Halloween, not that it mattered, Snape had already known what I was up to."

"You let the troll in?" Harry spoke up while I tried struggled trying to get the rope's off.

"Certainly, I have a special gift with trolls…you must have seen what I did to the one in the chamber back there? Unfortunately, while everyone was running around looking for it, Snape, who already suspected me, went straight to the third floor to head me off…and not only did my troll fail to beat you to death, that three headed dog didn't even manage to bite Snape's leg off properly."

"You make me sick! " I snapped glaring at him,

"Enough!" Quirrell yelled and turned to a mirror that sat behind him, the Mirror of Erised.

I glanced at the mirror wondering why is it here? Is it a riddle or something?

"I see the Stone…I'm presenting it to him…where is it?" Quirrell said, obviously frustrated.

Quirrell began to pace in front of the mirror and kept glancing sideways at it as he whispered to himself.

"But…I thought that Snape hated me," Harry said.

"Snape doesn't hate you." I said

"He does hate you." he said. "Your father went to school with him and they hated each other. I wondered why he doesn't hate you Ellie, after all you are the child of the man that he despises yet he treats you differently."

Quirrell's voice drifted off and Harry looked sideways at me. I don't know why Snape treats me differently I just assume that maybe I was just a good student.

"But…the other day I saw you come out of your room and you were crying. I thought that Snape was threatening you again." Harry said.

"My master sometimes demands too much of me…he has to punish me."

"Punish you? Does that mean that he's with you?" I asked.

"He is always with me." Quirrell answered still looking in the mirror.

I really wanted someone here to help us so that Quirrell wouldn't get the stone or that one of us got it so that he won't use it.

"How does this mirror work, Master?" Quirrell said.

"Use the boy…use the girl…" a voice said that seemed to come from Quirrell himself. I felt chills run up my spine at that voice.

"Of course," Quirrell said. "Come over here, both of you, tell me what you see."

The rope holding us still suddenly disappeared and we were able to move again. When we did, we walked over to the mirror, Harry stood in front of me protectively.

When I looked in the mirror I saw myself and my brother, both smiling. I saw the stone in my brother's hand and He put it In his pocket. I looked over and saw Harry's eyes widen and look down into his pocket. I could slightly see a small, ruby stone sticking out of his pocket. It was the Philosopher's Stone. He clutched my hand tightly.

"Well?" Quirrell said impatiently. "What do you see?"

"I see myself shaking hands with Dumbledore," he spoke slowly. "I-I've won the house cup for Gryffindor."

Quirrell cursed again and turned to me. I just spoke any random thing hoping to fool him.

"I see myself being in the ocean singing and seeing the sunset." I spoke

"Get out of the way," he said. Harry still clutched my hand. We slowly backed away but didn't even make it five paces before that voice spoke again. It wasn't Quirrell. He wasn't moving his lips which creeped me out. "Lies...both lies…"

"Potters, come back here!" Quirrell shouted. "Tell me the truth! What did you just see?" The high voice spoke again. "Let me speak to them…face-to-face…"

"Master, you are not strong enough!"

"I have strength enough…for this…" I felt my body stiffen as I watch terrified as Quirrell reached up and began to unwrap his turban. The turban fell away. Quirrell turned around and what we saw I felt very terrified I squeezed my brother's hand tightly. We saw a face on the back of his head. It was the most creepies, scariest face I have ever seen. It was chalk white with glaring red eyes and slits for nostrils, like a snake.

"Harry and Ellie Potter…" it whispered. It knew our names... i thought for a minute that It had to be Voldemort. "See what I have become?" he said. "Mere shadow and vapor…I have form only when I share another's body…Unicorn blood has strengthened me, these past weeks…you saw Quirrell drinking it for me in the forest…and once I have the Elixir of Life, I will be able to create a body of my own…Now…why don't you give me that Stone in your pocket?"

I felt Harry push me behind him standing protectively in front of me as he stumbled backward. "Don't be a fool," He snarled. "Better save your own life and join me…or you'll meet the same end as your parents….they died begging for mercy."

"LIAR!" Harry yelled

"Our parents would never beg!" I yelled. Quirrell was walking backward at us.

"How touching…" It hissed. "I always value bravery…Yes, your parents were brave…I killed your father first and he put up a courageous fight…but your mother needn't have died…she was protecting you both…now give me the stone, unless you want her to have died in vain."

"NEVER!" Harry yelled out.

"As if! Snake face!" I yelled out grabbing my brother's hand and we dashed to the flame door.

Voldemort screamed "SEIZE THEM!" the next second, Quirrell's hand closed in on his wrist. I glanced at Harry scream in pain I figured it was his scar. After a moment when Quirrell was hunched in pain looking at his fingers. They were blistering.

"I can't touch him Master!" Quirrell yelled.

"Then kill him, you fool!" Voldemort ordered.

Quirrell raised his hand to say a spell but before he could say anything I rushed and punched him in the face. My hand really hurt punching him like that.

"AHH!" he yelled in pain.

"No one messes with my brother!" I snapped

Quirrell snarled and grabbed me.

"Don't touch my sister!"Harry threatened

Harry immediately grabbed him and making him burn with his touch. I didn't understand why this was happening, Quirrell's face started to burn. The next thing I knew I was suddenly thrown my body hit the concrete floor, my head hurt from the impact.

"KILL THEM!" I heard Voldemort yelling.

I felt myself drift off. I heard more yelling and a scream then everything suddenly went black. My only thought was if we were going to be okay.

I opened my eyes seeing the white ceiling,I jerked myself up from the bed. There was a lot of questions going through my head. I saw my brother asleep in the bed next to me. I felt my eyes water seeing him, I felt so relieved that he's okay.

I saw Dumbledore in the room walking towards us.

"Good afternoon, Ellie" Dumbledore smiled at me.

"How is Harry?" I asked

"Madam pomfrey did her job in taking care of your injuries, you and Harry will be fine." He said his eyes twinkled. " Your friend I believe, he kept visiting you since you arrived at the hospital wing."

"Lucas?" I repeated.

"Yes, he's been checking on you for a few days now." He said "He was very persistent in staying here until you would wake up."

I didn't think that he would visit me, I mean he would after all he is my best friend and we look out for eachother and stuff. I glanced around and noticed all sorts of candy and gifts that were lying around the room even a toilet seat! Who brings a toilet seat?!

"From your friends and admirers," Dumbledore smiled "What happened between Professor Quirrell and the two of you in the dungeons was a complete secret...so, naturally, the entire school knows."

"Um..why is that toilet seat there?" I asked.

"I believe Misters Fred and George Weasley sent you that..."he said

I couldn't help but smile of course it could've been those two goofballs.

"How long have we've been here?" I asked.

"A few days...I believe that Miss Granger and Mister Weasley will be pleased to hear that you two have recovered...they have been worrying Madam Pomfrey," Dumbledore smiled.

"Sir..." I began, but was stopped when Dumbledore put a hand up.

"I arrived in time to stop Quirrell from taking the Stone from Harry," Dumbledore said. "Although, I believe that the two of you were taking care of that matter quite well..."

"That's a relief.." I said." So the Stone what's going to happen to it?"

"It's going to be destroyed."

"What?" I asked. "What about Nicolas Flamel and his wife, won't they die?"

"You know about Nicolas?" Dumbledore asked, sounding quite pleased.

I nodded, thinking back to all the those times I dragged Lucas to help me find anything about him.

"They will have enough Elixir to last them for a little while longer," Dumbledore said. "They've had a long life, they are ready to move on."

Then Dumbledore looked around at all the assortment of candy, appearing to be reading the labels.

"So...is Voldemort coming back?" I asked

"I believe so," Dumbledore said. "As you saw down in the dungeons, he doesn't have much sympathy for others. He left Quirrell to die there. The two of you have only delayed his return, but if we are able to continue delaying this, then I believe that he may not return."

I nodded, knowing now that Voldemort won't stop without a fight if he ever comes back then we'll have to be ready for anything.

"Voldemort said that he killed my mom because she tried to stop him from killing us, why did he want to kill us in the first place?" I asked.

"That...is a complicated question," Dumbledore said. "I am sorry to tell that I can not tell you that right now. I do not believe that you are quite ready yet."

I stayed silent for a moment, and then I asked him something.

"Why couldn't Quirrell touch Harry ?"I asked "He grabbed me but Harry defended me and Quirrell couldn't do anything to us."

"You're mother died protecting the two of you," Dumbledore explained. "Love is something that Voldemort will never be able to understand and because he is filled with so much hatred, your mother's love protects you two from him."

'Mom's love? Is that what helped us?' I thought I do want to know more about my mom...I always wondered what she's like. The only thing that's nagging me is that why did they separate me and Harry? Why? Why did my biological aunt and uncle do that? Maybe they couldn't afford to keep us both? A lot of questions swirled in my head making me feel so clueless.

After that Dumbledore insisted that I should go and get changed then comeback to see Harry I was reluctant at first but I decided to go. I quickly went to the tower and as soon as I stepped foot inside I was immediately crowded by every griffyndor in the room. Everyone kept asking me random questions which was making me feel uncomfortable. That is until Fred and George came speeding through. They started to separate me and the crowd as if they were my bodyguards.

"Alright Cool it everyone she just got out of the hospital!" George announced

"She'll talk to you all later!" Fred stated the twins grabbed me and basically swept me off my feet, until we were in the hallway.

"There ya go little tadpole."George said

"Tadpole?" I repeated tilting my head curiously.

"You see we're trying to come up with a nickname for you."George said

"We thought of Tadpole, since you live near the water."Fred said

"I don't like it."I honestly said to them.

"We may need more time to think of a better nickname for you."George said patting my head."Better be off now, see you at the feast."

I couldn't help but smile those guys are so silly, always trying to cheer me up at any situation. I went inside the dorm and showered, changing into my school robes. Basically humming through the hallways I ended up walking to the courtyard seeing the lake.

"There you are!" I quickly turned around seeing the owner of the voice."Lucas." He smiled and basically ran to hug me tightly. I could hardly breath being squeeze so tightly by him.

"Ellie, how are you feeling?" He asked being so close to my face, I gave him a soft smile.

"I'm okay." He nodded and it was quiet for a while, when he realized he still held me he let go and let out a awkward cough. "So...if you didn't know Slytherin is winning the house cup."

"I didn't know that..." I said

"It's because of the last match Ravenclaw beat Gryffindor so they didn't have enough points to win the cup." He explained

"So we beat Lord snake face but lost the house cup...that sucks...I thought we'd at least get some props." I joked.

"I heard about that, why didn't you ask me to help you?" He asked

"Well...you got in trouble last time for trying to help me, and I thought it was too dangerous." I explained

"It's more dangerous to go by yourself then having someone helping you." Lucas stated I couldn't say anything when he's saying it like had taken my hand in his giving it a soft squeeze. "Promise me that next time your facing a problem ask me for help."

"I promise..." I said

After that we talked a bit started making plans for summer vacation. We walked back the the hallway going to the hospital wing, I was so relieved to see that Harry was awake and okay that I practically hopped to his bed to hug him tightly. Eventually Ron and Hermione came through the door where we started telling them what happened with Quirrell and the stone. When we were done Harry was well enough to join us for the feast.

The hall was decked out in Slytherin colors of green and silver to celebrate Slytherin's winning the house cup for the seventh year in a row. A huge banner showing the Slytherin serpent covered the wall behind the High Table.

"Another year gone!" He said cheerfully. "Hopefully your heads are all a little fuller than they were…you have the whole summer ahead to get them nice and empty before next year starts…"

I held back a few giggles, Dumbledore is definitely one of a kind.

"Now, as I understand it, the house cup here needs awarding, and the points stand thus; In fourth place, Gryffindor, with three hundred and twelve points; in third, Hufflepuff, with three hundred and fifty two; Ravenclaw has four hundred and twenty six and Slytherin, four hundred and seventy two."

A storm of cheering and stamping broke out from the Slytherin table. I could see Draco banging his goblet on the table, Lucas on the other hand didn't seem all that interested in the announcement. "Yes, yes, well done, Slytherin," said Dumbledore "However, recent events must be taken into account." The room went dead silent. The Slytherin smiles faded a little, Lucas's eyes glanced at my table for a second.

"Ahem, I have a few last minute points to dish out. Let me see. Yes…First, to Mr. Ronald Weasley…" I look directly at Ron and his face went red. "For the best played game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years, I award Gryffindor house fifty points."

I cheer along with the Gryffindors. When it was silent again "Second…to Miss Hermione Granger…for outstanding bravery against the deadly vines, I award Gryffindor house fifty points."

Hermione buried her face in her arms; crying tears of joy as the Gryffindor table were cheering again. We were a hundred points up. "Third to Miss Ellie Potter…" the room went silent again "For her cool logic in the face of danger and bravery, I award Gryffindor thirty points." I smiled and felt myself blush from embarrassment seeing everyone cheer for me. The room went silent again now "Fourth to Mr. Harry Potter…For pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house thirty points."

We were tied with Slytherin, I kept hearing a lot of people say that the noise was getting louder then Dumbledore raised his hand and the room gradually fell silent.

"There are all kinds of courage," Dumbledore said smiling. "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. I therefore award ten points to Mr. Neville Longbottom."

We won! I was so happy I gave Neville a big hug. The Gryffindor table cheered loudly, I smiled at Neville He looked white with shock but disappeared under the a pile of people hugging him. The decorations was changed to Gryffindor colors. We had an amazing feast. I was so happy but sadly we had to go home for the summer, we all passed our exams so we can continue studying next year!

We talked a lot during the train ride. I opened a notebook and scribbled something down ripping the paper off the book handing it to Harry.

"This is my number in case if you want to talk during the summer." I said I handed the paper to Ron and Hermione too. Harry smiled as I smiled back he handed me his U.k. Number if I want to talk to him. Wishing that he could live with me and my dad.

After the train stopped we all changed from our school robes to muggle clothes, Hermione ran over to Harry and me and gave us a big hug, telling us that she would miss us. Ron hugged me and told Harry that he would write. When I saw Lucas get off the train once he saw me he ran towards me.

"Ellie you ready to go home? My mum can take us home." Lucas said smiling."Your dad must miss you like crazy." I nodded and smiled at him. I turn my head to my brother giving him a big hug.

"If you can't call me then owl me." I whispered to Harry. "I'm going to miss you."

Harry returned the hug. I hugged him goodbye but I know I'll see him again very soon.
