GRYFFINDOR VS RAVENCLAW
Chapter 11: Quidditch.
"I wonder with whom the match will be.", Lily wondered.
"It mostly will be against Slytherin, that is mostly the opening of the Quidditch season.", Severus said.
"So, ready to face the truth about the bet?", Lily asked grinning.
"Yeah, I still maintain my stance that, Slytherin will win.", Severus said seriously.
(As they entered November - Gryffindor versus Slytherin.)
"As expected. Now the hallways will be filled with, curses and hexes.", Severus said.
"I always hate it, when that happens. Students cursing each other, just makes my skin crawl.", Lily said.
"The Marauders are the best example. They curse many of the Slytherin players, just to try and not make them play. Not that Slytherins are any better than that.", Severus said.
"There is no rivalry like Gryffindor and Slytherin. Some of us feel like, they are born to kill each other.", Lily said shaking her head.
"They are nearly doing it also.", Severus said remembering the werewolf incident.
(If Gryffindor won, they - around underneath him holding a mattress.)
"That is really mean!", Lily said.
"Marauders say that every time to Slytherins.", Severus said shaking his head.
"That is really bad, Sev. Not a good sportsmanship.", Lily said.
"I really don't think that they care about that.", Severus said sadly.
"They are just mean! I really wonder why I chose to marry that idiot.", Lily said.
"Even me.", Severus said sadly.
(It was really lucky - was making them do.)
"That must be really hectic. Even people in Slytherin team complain about the same thing, to their captain.", Severus said.
"It must be really tough to manage the two of them. At least he cares about studies too. James always think about quidditch.", Lily said with a small laugh.
"Then how does he pass the exams?", Severus asked with amazement.
"I have absolutely no idea. He passes everything, with good grades. How he does it is a mystery, except in transfiguration, where I know that he is good.", Lily said.
(She had also lent - World Cup match in 1473.)
"That is really horrible! All the possible fouls happening in a single match? That is something I really don't want to see, or happen in any match!", Lily said.
"The Gryffindor vs Slytherin matches often get really dirty.", Severus said.
"The biggest rivalry in Hogwarts. The rivalry I really hate, because that is affecting our friendship, and is leading to a big war, due to Voldemort.", Lily said. "I really don't believe that one house is better than others. Each house has its own good and bad qualities."
"That is true, Lily. But all others do not share your ideology. If they really did, there would have never been these rivalries.", Severus said.
"We really should try and change this nonsense.", Lily said.
(that Seekers were usually - months later in the Sahara Desert.)
"I told you so.", Severus grinned and told Lily.
"That is a really strange thing to happen. But as you told, players can get pissed off sometimes.", Lily said.
"I really pity those referees. I really don't know how they could have survived.", Severus said.
"They could have just apparated, silly.", Lily said laughing. "Did you forget that, they are wizards too?", she asked.
"Oh yeah, I forgot that for a moment.", Severus said grinning.
"I hate the fact that, seekers have maximum number of accidents in a game. I really hope that, Harry will be Ok.", Lily said.
"I am sure he will be OK, Lily.", Severus reassured her.
(Hermione had become a - was much nicer for it.)
"Oh no! My son is being a really bad influence on her!", Lily exclaimed.
"A bit like Lupin, don't you think? He says he has some regards for the rules, but he has no problems with marauders breaking some.", Severus said.
"Yeah, she does look like the Lupin of the group.", Lily agreed. "But at least they are breaking rules, for some good things, unlike the marauders."
"That is true. That is what differentiates these two groups.", Severus said. "These three does not harm anyone while breaking rules or even intend to."
"Except for the troll incident of course.", Lily said laughing.
"Yeah, except for that.", Severus laughed.
(The day before Harry's first - once that Snape was limping.)
"Why in the world am I limping?", Severus thought loudly.
"Maybe you fell down the stairs or something.", Lily said.
"That will be a really nasty thing to happen, also I will look bad in front of the students.", Severus said sadly.
"But Harry would have mentioned that, if it would have happened, isn't it? For one thing, he hates you, and news like this spreads really fast.", Lily said.
"I hate the fact that, Harry hates me.", Severus said.
"Well, the feeling appears to be mutual. You also seem to hate him, for some reason.", Lily said with a bit of anger.
"Why? Why the hell do I hate him?", Severus wondered aloud.
"That is one of the big mysteries about our future.", Lily said.
(Harry, Ron, and Hermione - Five points from Gryffindor.)
"That's not a rule!", Lily said angrily looking at Severus." Who told you about a rule like that?", she asked.
Even Severus was fuming with anger with himself. He knew that, his future self was just making up rules, to punish Harry.
"I know that is not a rule, Lily. I think I just made up that rule.", Severus said angrily.
"Why in the world would you do that?", Lily asked.
"I am sure that, it is just for punishing Harry. I am just so angry with me.", Severus said angrily.
"Me too, Sev!", Lily said.
(He's just made that rule - said Ron bitterly.)
"Hey! You are talking about me!", Severus said to the book.
"I really don't blame them for this. Your actions were really bad.", Lily said.
"Hmmm, I wonder what happened to me that, I am in so much pain.", Severus said.
"I hope that, you are not seriously hurt, Sev. I hate to see you hurt.", Lily said sadly.
Severus smiled inwardly, as he knew that Lily cared about him very well.
(The Gryffindor common - got the right answers anyway.)
"She really has a point. How will they study, if they copy everything?", Lily said.
"Slytherin idiots do that to me. They sometimes force me, to show them.", Severus said.
"Then why do you show them, Sev?", Lily asked. "You should just refuse them."
"It is not as simple as that, Lily. As you know, I am only a filthy Halfblood to them, next to only muggleborns. So, they think I am bound to show their superiors.", Severus said.
"That is really bad, Sev! They don't know that, you are better than twelve of those idiots.", Lily said.
(Harry felt restless - if he could have it.)
"Not a good idea, seeing how I am in the future.", Severus said shaking his head.
"I know, Sev. That is really bad. I hope that, you do give the book back.", Lily said.
"Maybe I will be forced to give the book, if other teachers are present too.", Severus said.
"That is really possible. But if you are in the private quarters, then again it is a problem.", Lily said.
"I hate myself!", Severus declared.
(Better you than me - was no answer.)
"Great! That means that, you are at your quarters.", Lily said.
"Now he has a very little chance. Where the other teachers, anyway?", Severus asked.
"They may be busy with their own work.", Lily said. "They don't always stay in the staffroom, right?"
"All the teachers having some work at the same time? A bit odd.", Severus remarked.
(He knocked again - horrible scene met his eyes.)
"OMG! Don't tell that, all the people in the staffroom are laying dead!", Severus exclaimed.
"Why in the world do you think, it is what has happened?", Lily told glaring at Severus.
"I mean, these are a really mysterious set of circumstanced. You have also seen horror movies. The hero gets shock, exactly at this moment.", Severus said.
"This is not a Hollywood horror movie, Sev!", Lily said laughing. "and I certainly don't want my son to see such things."
"I know. I know. Just that, the book made it a bit creepy.", Severus said.
(Snape and Filch were - all three heads at once?)
"So, that what has happened. You faced that three-headed dog. What were you thinking going to that monster anyways?", Lily asked.
"Mostly still trying to catch, the thief trying to steal the stone.", Snape said simply.
"You are risking your life, Sev! You might get killed doing this!", Lily cried.
"Maybe I really don't care about getting killed. I may be thinking about the consequences of, the stone falling in the wrong hands.", Severus said.
"That is really Gryffindor of you, Sev! Did the sorting hat place you in the right house?", Lily said giggling.
"This is not a blind bravery, Lily.", Severus said.
(Harry tried to shut - more points from Gryffindor.)
"Thank merlin that it did not go any worse than this.", Severus said sighing in relief.
"Really strange that, he is worried about losing points, when he is facing an angry you.", Lily laughed and said.
"Am I that dangerous and scary when I am angry?", Severus asked.
"You don't know Sev. Even marauders hate facing you, when you are really angry.", Lily said.
"Then I should be angry all the time.", Severus said laughing.
"That certainly will do wonders, with respect to the problem of marauders. But I hate to see you angry.", Lily said.
(He sprinted back - Hermione's eyes were wide.)
"What! No Sev is not doing that! He is protecting the stone, not trying to steal it!", Lily exclaimed.
"I really can't blame them for suspecting me. I did look suspicious.", Severus said.
"That you did.", Lily said nodding. "Your behaviour also made it look like that.", Lily said.
"I really hope that, they realize the mistake fast. One wrong move, and the stone may be lost forever.", Severus said.
"They still don't know, what the dog is guarding, so I don't think they will make any foolish move.", Lily said.
"I hope they don't make any move.", Severus said. "I wonder, why they did not realize that, Quirrel may be a bad guy."
"Maybe they were too focused on thinking, you were evil and forgot about him.", Lily said.
(No-he wouldn't, she - but Harry couldn't sleep.)
"I now became an evil mastermind in front of Harry. That is just really great.", Severus said shaking his head.
"I really want to see his reaction, when he comes to know that, me and you were friends.", Lily said.
"I want him to know that, really fast. That will at least change his attitude towards me.", Severus said.
"Would that change your attitude towards him?", Lily asked.
"I have absolutely no idea, but I would like to say that it will.", Severus said.
(He tried to empty his - I don't want anything.)
"Harry!" Lily chastised. "You have to eat something. Otherwise how will you play?"
"This is nothing new. I have seen other first time players doing the same thing.", Severus said.
"But, that is really bad for the game. You need energy for the game, for energy you need food.", Lily said.
"The thing is that, you just will not feel like eating anything when we are really nervous. You do that every time before the exams.", Severus said.
"That is a totally different situation!", Lily argued.
"Believe me. It is not at all different.", Severus said.
"Still, he needs to eat, Sev!", Lily said.
(Just a bit of toast - was going on sometimes.)
"Well, I feel good that, others also agree with me.", Lily said.
"I have heard many people saying the same thing. Especially our seeker when they are not playing. They only try to see where the snitch is, other than what I going on, even if they are playing.", Severus said.
"Do you think, Joe Rowling likes the game?", Lily asked.
"I have actually seen her, cheering for Black for all the games except with Hufflepuff. So, she may or may not like the game.", Severus said.
"I really wonder, who and how send us the books.", Lily said.
"Another big mystery, that may not be solved easily, or by reading these books.", Severus said.
(Ron and Hermione joined - paint flashed different colours.)
"Those are some ridiculous banners there. 'Potter for President'? What does he mean by that?", Severus asked.
"I have seen even more ridiculous banners than that.", Lily said. "Most of them don't have any creative ideas."
"I doubt any Gryffindors will have that. Except for you of course.", Severus said. "That is a Slytherin trait after all."
"Even Hermione has that one, Sev. She is doing something different after all.", Lily said.
"All houses have exceptions to their house traits. Like Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle at their time. The marauders in our time.", Severus said.
"Mulciber and Avery are exceptions too!", Lily said.
(Meanwhile, in the locker - were on the team last year.)
They both laughed.
"So, this is what happens inside the team locker, before the match, huh. A speech by the team captain.", Lily said laughing.
"By the sound of it, Wood repeats the same thing every year.", Severus said.
"That must be really boring. If it was me, I would have made a speech for every match.", Lily said.
"As if that is not boring. I would have preferred not to have a speech at all.", Severus said.
"You have to give your team, some motivation, Sev! That is a captain's job!", Lily said.
"I will just say 'Go and win this match you dunderheads'. It is simple and effective.", Severus said.
"That will scare your team mates, Sev!", Lily said laughing.
"I am sure that it will scare them enough to make us win.", Severus said.
(Shut up, you two - as if to say, 'Or else.')
"There you, Lily. Wood also knows what to do to win.", Severus said laughing.
"He combined your idea with the speech. I think that is more than enough motivation.", Lily said grinning.
"I am in a really tough situation now. As a member of Slytherin house, I am supposed to support my house. But I like Harry, and we are following his journey, so I am supposed to support Gryffindor. I am really confused.", Severus said.
"You can support whomever you want, Sev. But remember the bet we are having. One Galleon for Gryffindor.", Lily grinned.
"I do remember that very well, Lily. So, I am sorry to say that, my support is for Slytherin.", Severus said.
"May the best team win.", Lily said.
(Right. It's time. Good - had some troll blood in him.)
Both of them laughed again.
"I don't know, whether to categorize this as rude or funny.", Lily laughed. "But the comment was hilarious."
"I know his father Cyrus Flint. He is 6 years above us, but he was repeating his owls every time. He just passed the owls two years ago,", Severus said laughing.
"Well, we can establish that, he has troll brains. Does he look like a troll?", Lily asked.
"Yeah he does. It is a wonder that, he got married and has a kid. He is just ugly as a troll.", Severus said.
"Maybe Harry is right. They might have troll blood in them.", Lily said laughing.
(Out of the corner of his - on her silver whistle.)
"And let the game begin.", Severus said smiling.
"Want to place bet on, who will score first?", asked Lily grinning.
"Hey! We can't place bet on small things. It is a ridiculous thing to do.", Severus said.
"Scared Severus?", Lily asked playfully.
"You wish.", Severus said. "But I don't still like the idea.", he added.
(Fifteen brooms rose - watched by Professor McGonagall.)
"She always sits next to the commentator, but why?", Lily wondered aloud.
"I think she wants to check the language which the commentator uses. They sometimes use really inappropriate words, don't they?", Severus asked.
"Not since Xenophilius came. He does not use any bad words.", Lily said.
"Yeah, he is a good guy. Not at all biased with any particular house, even if Raven claw is playing.", Severus said.
"The only thing is that, he always come with these ridiculous conspiracy theories at school.". Lily said.
"Most Slytherins hate him, and tease him for his behaviour.", Severus said.
"That is really cruel, Sev! He is not so bad!", Lily said.
(And she's really belting - the back of the head by a Bludger.)
"That must be hurting like hell.", Severus said.
"My least favourite thing about Quidditch. The blugers.", Lily said shaking her head.
"Relax Lily! Bludgers can't kill you!", Severus said.
"It can injure the players really badly sometimes.", Lily said.
"That is true, Lily. But Madam Pomfrey can take care of that.", Severus said.
"It is my son, who is playing there, Sev! A mother always will have worries.", Lily said.
"Look Lily. If I am sure that nothing is going to happen to your son. Please relax.", Severus said holding her hand reassuringly.
Lily relaxed a bit.
(Quaffle taken by the - GRYFFINDORS SCORE!)
Lily cheered and looked at Severus with a smile.
"See, Gryffindors scored first.", Lily said grinning.
"We did not keep a bet on that, Lily. I refused for that one, remember?", Severus said.
"Well, we did keep a bet for the final winner. Now we are leading.", Lily said.
"The team who scored first, does not necessarily win the match, Lily. Mostly seekers decide the outcome.", Severus said.
"Are you doubting my son's seeking capabilities?", Lily asked.
"It is just that, this is his first game Lily. It is difficult to be perfect in the first match.", Severus said.
"That is true Sev. But I still wager that Gryffindor will win.", Lily said.
(Gryffindor cheers filled - enough space to join them.)
"That must be a bit difficult. The space is a bit too small.", Severus said.
"True, it is a bit difficult to even stretch your legs.", Lily said.
(Bin watchin' from me hut - and Wood's game plan.)
"Wood's game plan!?", Lily laughed. "I am sure that, that is what every captains game plan is?"
"Hagrid is right. Harry did not have anything to do till now.", Severus said.
"Searching for the snitch is a thing to do, it is not like he is just sitting and sleeping.", Lily argued.
"I hope someone catches the snitch really fast. I hate it, when the game goes on forever.", Severus said.
"What was the longest match we have ever seen?", Lily wondered.
"Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw in our second year. It went on for nearly five hours.", Severus said.
"I did not attend that match. I was studying in the common room the whole time.", Lily said.
"I remember that, they changed one of the chasers when she nearly fainted. The match was exciting though. Ravenclaw had won the match 470 - 280.", Severus said.
(Keep out of the way - Weasley came chasing after it.)
They both let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank god he dodged it.", Severus said.
"Why was he attacked by the bludger. I thought he will not be until he sees the snitch.", Lily said confused.
"Maybe that is a stray bludger. Otherwise Hooch would have called a foul.", Severus said.
"Harry has great reflexes. It is not easy to dodge a Bludger.", Lily said.
(All right there, Harry - course, Harry holding on for dear life.)
"That is a foul! You are absolutely not allowed to do that!", Lily shouted angrily.
Even Severus was angry. Stopping Harry with a bludger was legal, and he wouldn't have minded much. But blocking the path of the seeker to stop him, was pure cowardice.
"That is just pure cowardice. I am sure that, Madam Hooch will call it a foul.", Severus said.
"At first I thought that, Harry was hit by a bludger. Thankfully he was not.", Lily said.
"I wonder if the other seeker caught the snitch, in all the chaos.", Severus said.
"Nah! Madam Hooch must have stopped the match before that happened.", Lily said.
("Foul!" screamed the - him off, ref! Red card!)
Lily and Severus laughed at this.
"This idiot just forgot that, they are playing Quidditch. Not Soccer.", Severus said laughing.
"I wish that there really would be a card system, even in Quidditch. That will surely lead to less number of deliberate fouls in the game.", Lily said.
"That is a really good idea. But I don't think the wizarding world will accept anything of muggle origin.", Severus said.
"They did accept buses and trains, so why can't we accept other things too. A television will do so much good in our world.", Lily said.
"It is all just pure-blood politics.", Severus said.
(What are you talking - knocked Harry outta the air.)
"Too right you are, Hagrid,", Lily said.
"At least he understands the importance of accepting things from muggles.", Severus said.
"I wonder if he is a half-blood or muggleborn.", Lily said.
"I doubt that he is a muggleborn. He maybe a half-blood, as no muggleborn can grow to that height.", Severus said.
"He could have accidentally drunk the Potion or whatever that caused this, even at the school.", Lily said.
"True, but I still doubt it.", Severus said.
(Lee Jordan was finding - Jordan, I'm warning you.)
Lily and Severus were struggling to control their laughter at this.
"This is just hilarious. The commentator taking sides, and McGonagall arguing with him.", Severus said.
"He is finding it difficult not to take any side. He really has a point, for the way he is shouting anyways. I am sure that the professor understands that.", Lily said.
"But she has to keep that in check. That is what she has to do. To keep the commentators from taking sides and making rude comments.", Severus said.
"She has a really easy job nowadays as Lovegood does neither.", Lily said.
(All right, all right - a sudden, frightening lurch.)
"What?", Lily gasped incredulously.
"what in the name of Merlin just happened?", Severus asked confused.
"Brooms are not supposed to do that, are they?", Lily asked frightened.
"Absolutely not! Unless- ", Severus stopped in the middle.
"Unless? Unless what!?", Lily asked angrily.
"I want to read more, before I tell my theory.", Severus said.
(For a split second - trying to buck him off.)
Severus turned completely pale at this. His fears had come true.
Lily noticed that and asked, "What happened, Sev!? Don't tell me that, something really bad is happening here."
"I- I Think that someone is using a dark curse on the b-broom.", Severus said fearfully.
"W-what!? You mean someone is trying to kill my son!?", Lily said with tears in her eyes. "B-but w-who?"
"I have no idea. We will have to read and find out.", Severus said.
"I am going to kill that person, whoever is doing this.", Lily said.
(But Nimbus Two Thousand - movements that almost unseated him.)
"Gesture someone over!", Severus yelled.
"He can't!", Lily cried, "What's going to happen? What's he going to do?" Sirius cried, shoving his nails in his mouth.
"Best option is to find whoever is doing this, and stop them.", Severus said, "Or mutter a counter curse. But I am sure that someone is actually muttering it as, the broom has not yet thrown Harry down."
"You mean that the curse can do that?", Lily asked with fear.
"It certainly can, Lily.", Severus said not knowing what else to tell.
(Lee was still commentating. - only just managing to hold on.)
"I am going to hex the ass off, of the one who is doing this.", Lily said angrily.
"Where the hell am I? Why the hell am I not doing anything?", Severus asked.
"That is a really good question, Sev! Where are you?", Lily asked.
"This situation is getting more and more mysterious.", Severus said.
(Then the whole crowd - Snape - look.)
"W-what!?", Severus said turning pale.
Lily was shaking with anger and looked like she was going to hex him. "What the hell are you doing!", she shouted to Severus angrily. "Are you going to kill my son!".
"L-lily. I - I – ", Severus continued.
"Do not speak to me, Severus Snape. Not until we find out, what exactly is happening. Now read the rest!", Lily said. She had tears in her eyes. She could not believe that her best friend had tried to kill her son.
Severus wiped a bit of tears on his face, and continued reading.
(Ron grabbed the binoculars. Snape was in the middle of the stands opposite them. He had his eyes fixed on Harry and was muttering nonstop under his breath.)
"Oh, thank merlin!", Severus said with a sigh of relief. Then he broke out completely, and started crying.
Lily did not understand what had happened and said, "What happened?"
"I-I was not t-trying to k-kill h-him! I was saving him. Staring and muttering, is the counter curse. The curse only needs staring.", Severus said wiping away his tears.
Lily read the passage again and realised her mistake. Even she had read about basic curses and counter curses last year, when there was a small DADA project about that. She realized her mistake, and felt really bad for suspecting her best friend. She knew she shouldn't have done that. She had tears in her face, and hugged her best friend and said, "I- I am s-so s-sorry, Sev! I shouldn't have said like that. I should have known that, you will never hurt my son intentionally."
"It's Ok, Lily. Considering my behaviour towards Harry, you had every reason to.", Severus said.
"I want to find what exactly will happen. Please continue.", Lily said smiling.
(He's doing something - without anyone noticing.)
"That is just so inconsiderable. Does he not care about a player, even if he is in the opposite team?", Lily said angrily.
"Certainly, it is the troll blood inside him.", Severus said.
"That is for sure. Only trolls behave in such a way.", Lily said laughing.
(Come on, Hermione, - into the row in front.)
"You really don't have to anyway. He is the evil mastermind here, not me.", Severus said.
"I hope that they realize that soon.", Lily said.
"Oh Merlin! What if Quirrel was the one trying to kill Harry. I will not put it past him.", Severus said.
"Maybe he was the one staring, and he just lost his concentration as Hermione tripped him. That means- that means- ", Lily said excitedly.
"Harry is going to be alright, unless Quirrel gets back the concentration.", Severus said.
"He will have to catch the snitch before that.", Lily said.
"I hope, he does.", Severus said, "or the Slytherin seeker.", Severus said remembering his bet.
(Reaching Snape, she - know what had happened.)
"Hey! You cannot do that to Sev! He was trying to save, not kill!", Lily shouted.
"They have not realised that still, Lily.", Severus said.
"But still!", Lily said.
(It was enough. - won by one hundred and seventy points to sixty.)
Lily cheered loudly, and grinned at Severus. Severus gave back a small smile. He did not mind that, Gryffindor won, or he had lost a Galleon. Harry did deserve the win.
"You owe me a galleon Sev!", Lily said grinning.
"I know that, Lily. I will pay you that, when we go to Diagon Alley.", Severus promised.
"You don't have to, Sev! You had saved my son from a certain death. So, I don't need that, saving my son is worth more than thousand galleons.", Lily said hugging Severus.
Severus returned the smile and smiled. These books were making them even more closer, than they were. They broke out of the hug, and he started to read immediately.
(Harry heard none of this - Snape do somethin' like that?)
"Please listen to Hagrid, guys. Or you will be making a terrible mistake.", Severus said.
"They are still thinking that, you tried to kill Harry.", Lily said sadly.
"I hope that, Hagrid will tell about us being together. That will clear all their doubts.", Severus said.
"Yeah! Hagrid knows about us!", Lily said. "I have said to him about you."
(Harry, Ron, and Hermione - about Fluffy?" he said.)
"Fluffy!? That thing has a name?", Lily said.
"No shock in the fact that, the beast is of Hagrid. He always had fascination for these.", Severus said.
"Yeah, like the fact that he wants to raise a dragon.", Lily said.
("Fluffy? - Snape's trying to steal it!)
"I am not!", Snape shouted.
"Sev, calm down! They really can't hear you! But people here can!", Lily said.
"Hey! That is my dialogue!", Severus said laughing.
"I just borrowed it now.", Lily said winking.
(Rubbish," said Hagrid - wasn't blinking at all, I saw him!")
"You have not read everything, you stupid girl! That is how the counter is performed, as you forgot to mention the chanting part.", Lily said angrily.
"Wrong or incomplete information is not good.", Severus said.
"That may lead to really bad situations!", Lily finished the sentence.
("I'm tellin' yeh, yer wrong - looked furious with himself.)
Both of them bursted out laughing.
"Poor Hagrid! He is really bad at keeping secrets.", Severus said.
"Tricked by three eleven year olds! That is really bad!", Lily said. "Imagine what a grown up can do!"
"They can easily fool him!", Severus said nodding.
"Who is Nicolas Flamel?", Lily asked.
"He is the creator of the stone.", Severus said.
"Oh. That makes sense.", Lily said.
"Well, that is the end of the chapter. Would you like to read the next?", Severus asked.
"Yep. Give the book to me.", Lily asked and took the book and began to read.
