Last time: "Ah Miss. Granger, what news do you bring?"

"Well professor…..

"Well professor I couldn't gain complete trust yet but he is very clever and can easily see through my manipulations. I need something solid to gain his trust. And he knows about Fluffy but nothing much." She said in a calm voice.

"Well miss. Granger you can give him information on Nicholas Flamel and Philosopher's stone. It should be enough to gain you his trust." Saying this he wanted to see the memories himself but felt it was not required.

As Hermione walked out she thought 'If this continues I will be indispensable in a short time' and a smile graced her face.

Midnight few minutes after 12' o clock:

"Everything is set Harry. I left my doppelganger in the room. No one will suspect us." Praveen said in a hushed voice.

"Fine let's go. Parvati you will be on watch. If anyone comes you will tell me through telepathy. We are practically blind once we get past the dog. Though I believe the tests to be of a maximum fourth year level it is better to be cautious." Harry said in a commanding voice.

They all left under disillusion and reached the third floor corridor. Harry cast "homeium revelo" to make sure only they were in the vicinity. Harry then cast "alahamora" and opened the door. Parvati stayed outside while Harry, Padma and Praveen went in.

Cerberus started to get up when Harry used mage sight and sent it to sleep through hypnosis. Padma opened the trap door and Harry cast "Lumos" but couldn't see any thing. So he then cast "Lumos maxima" and saw devil snare at the bottom of trap door. He told Padma who became ready and as they jumped inside and landed immediately cast "Solarisflare" which gave a huge amount of sunlight causing the plant to split immediately dropping them on floor below it

They started to walk along the corridor and came to next room which had lot of flying keys. Harry thought 'this must be Flitwicks challenge.' He saw the lock and deduced the key must be old and rusty and huge. Harry saw three brooms and smirked. He said "the old fool wants them to use their flying abilities. How wonderful." Saying so he scanned for the right key and once he recognized it he bellowed "Accio" pointing at the key. As he touched the key all the keys started attacking and Praveen bellowed "immobulous" freezing them in mid air. Padma then opened the door and Praveen released the spell before they closed the door.

They kept walking and found Black and White squares. He thought 'this should be McGonagall's challenge'. As he thought the chamber was illuminated to reveal a huge chess board. Harry called his friends close held them and flamed to the next door using his phoenix abilities. As they entered the chamber Harry got distinct smell of troll.

They decided previously that they would leave no clues. So Harry simply told his friends to use complete invisibility spell and they walked past the troll and entered the next chamber. As they closed the door both entrance and exit of the chamber turned to flames. Harry walked to the center of the room where a Table was placed with different bottles and a puzzle. He didn't read the puzzle or didn't look at the bottles. He simply used the freezing spell on flames and all the three entered the final circular chamber.

In the middle of the chamber stood a huge mirror with words "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi" Harry stared at the words for few seconds and realized he needed the mirror image. He read backwards and the words read "I show not your face but your hearts desire." Harry was confused. Now what is the old man playing at. He knew about mirror of Erised but where is the stone. Harry was deep in thought when Padma squealed. Harry shpt up and asked "What happened Pad?"

"Harry I can see the stone. I am giving it to Uncle Nick. But I can't get it."

Harry asked "what were you thinking when you stepped in front of the mirror?"

Padma said "That I need the stone." Harry thought for few seconds and then mentally slapped himself for not figuring out earlier. He asked Padma to move aside and went in front of the mirror with one thought "I need the stone, I don't want it."

Harry in the mirror blinked and showed the stone in his pocket. At the same time Harry felt his pocket growing heavy. As Harry stepped away and pulled the stone Padma asked "What did you do. How did you get the stone? I don't think it's my deepest wish."

Harry replied "Dumbledore charmed the mirror so that whoever knew about the stone, if they stepped in front of it will only see it. However to acquire it you will need to think to need it but not use it or want it. That's why you couldn't get it. Even I couldn't have got it if not for you."

Praveen said "I believe its time to leave."

Harry nodded and created a fake stone with same enchantments and aura. "It would do everything the stone dose except producing elixir of life. Of course the gold will transform back after few days. But it was good enough to fool the old goat." He said as he pressed the stone to the mirror and it disappeared inside.

Harry, Praveen and Padma walked through a different door and climbed out of a portrait on third floor. They met with Padma and went to their dormitory. Harry immediately called Emma and sent the stone along with a enchanted box and note to Nicholas Flamel.

Dear Dad,

The stone was being used for a test. We will find out how it got into that old goat hands. Don't deposit at Gringotts now. We will do after speaking with Rangnook. This box is enchanted and warded in Ancient, Parsel, Elvin and gobblegook. I also used ancient Sumerian and Mayan runes. So put a drop of your blood and no one other than you will be able to open it. Tell mom I love her and I am missing you.

With Love

Son.

P.S: Tell Merlin and others to be ready for a surprise.

After sending the letter, stone and the box Harry went to his bed to get some sleep. It was already 2 Am and that day will be long with assignments and holiday homework. Soon Harry found himself in realm of Morpheus.

Two days later:

As Harry waved off to his Friends who were going to their houses he remembered a conversation he had with Lilly few days before.

As Harry was leaving for transfiguration from great hall Lilly stopped him and said "Harry we will be staying in Hogwarts for Christmas. We will celebrate as a family. Don't accept any invites."

Harry asked "what if I already have?"

She said "Then decline them. You will spend this Christmas with us."

Harry thought 'this is going to be fun' and replied "fine." He knew all about their plan about potions and wanted to see what they would make him do.

He came out of his musings as Dan came and said "You don't have your friends to protect you now. Let's see how much of a wizard you are"

Harry simply suppressed Dan's core as he shouted "Flippendo". Dan was shocked as nothing happened. He tried three more times when Harry said "Oh has poor Danny lost his magic. Has he become a squib?"

Dan became red at this but Neville came to his rescue. We will see who is a squib. But he didn't have time as he needed to leave to catch the train. So Harry shouted "Running like a coward Longbottom? It's a shame to your family. You are a disgrace to wizard race."

Meanwhile Dan was furiously trying every curse but nothing worked. Harry left him and walked away.

Christmas:

Harry woke up early and finished his daily exercise. He then flamed to Flamel's and Patil's to give his gifts and receive his gift's. Perene was not happy as this was first Christmas Harry was away from them after they met. Harry said "It's only this year mom. Next year we will be together. I promise."

After a tearful goodbye he flamed to St. Mungos as he always did on Christmas wished Peter and then flamed back and came out of his room. Under the tree he found that his pile of gifts was largest considering that all his friends have sent him gifts as he did for them. Dan and Rose were eyeing them and Harry was immensely enjoying.

After his parents came out of their room they started opening their gifts and rose whispered something to James. Harry heard her due to his enhanced hearing.

"Daddy how come that brat got more gifts? Surely he stole mine and Dan's. Get them back Daddy." She said accusingly.

James said "Harry it is wrong to steal others gifts give them back."

Harry said "they were sent to me by my friends for me. So unless you want to become a thief I will keep them."

James became red but Lilly stopped him saying "don't worry sweet heart. Harry will give them back later."

He immediately understood she was meaning compulsion potion and kept quiet. All of them had a breakfast of beacon and fried eggs and Harry saw it was laced with Loyalty potions keyed to his family and Dumbledore. He smirked internally. After breakfast he went to his room in quarters and studied and completed his homework. When he was called for lunch he noticed Dumbledore joined them. He saw that food was laced with compulsion potion, memory altering potion and truth serum. He smirked internally at the confrontation which was about to happen.

He ate lunch in silence as all dishes were his favorites. All the adults smiled as Harry was eating unsuspectingly. After the desert James said "Harry give all the gifts you have to Dan and Rose." Harry got up went towards his room and begun to laugh loudly. James was shocked but Dumbledore said "Harry do as James said."

Harry laughed more at the old goat's words. After few minutes he said "What did you expect? I will come unprepared? The very moment you told me that we will be staying back for Christmas at Hogwarts I suspected something was wrong. Once you asked what my favorite dishes were I deduced you will be lacing the food with various potions. As I suspected it was tampered with Loyalty potions and compulsion potions of strongest kind. Not to mention the Vetraserum. Did you think I am that dumb?" saying this he was about to turn when he felt curses flying towards him. He quickly dodged and pulled out his wand but Dumbledore shouted "enough."

He then said in a angry voice "You will teach your siblings these powers of deduction or face expulsion."

Harry sneered and said in a calm voice "Under what charges Headmaster?"

"I don't need to put charges to expel you boy. Now do you agree or shall I get you expelled?"

Harry simply said "You can't. You will need to get through almost all the Board of governors not to mention the head of DMLE, Madam Bones. As Hogwarts charter dictates a student may only be expelled if he causes bodily harm to other student intentionally that too of grave danger. Even to prove such accusations I will need to be questioned under Vetraserum. So no way you will be able to expel me."

It was Sirius Black who asked "and why will the board and Madam Bones stand with you when we have enough influence with ministry?"

Harry smirked and said "You may have influence in ministry but I have their children as thickest friends. They would tear this place apart if you do such thing. The gifts they sent are your evidence. And when weighing between their children's happiness and yours, I am sorry to say but you would loose."

Everyone in the room was thunderstruck. The kid made him virtually immune to any political action they can take. Only serious charges like attempt to murder can kick him out. Harry smiled and said "I will be in my room then." No one could get words to reply.

Later everyone was sitting in Dumbledore's office. "He has a master mind. He is always ten steps ahead of us. What do we do now Albus?" Lilly questioned.

"I am at my wits end Lilly. As hard as it is to admit the boy has out thought all of us. All we can do is cage him but we can't make him work for us. If today's incident is anything to go by he will be expecting even that and the moment we even start planning it he will disappear and we can't risk that. We are lucky he has agreed for magic transfer." Dumbledore said sadly.

"What if he rejects now? What if he rejects then? We won't be able to force him. He is too strong willed and thinks ages ahead." James asked.

"If we can get a magical oath, then may be it would be possible that he can't go back on his word." Sirius said.

"I will get it right away after he cools down a little. He agreed with me. He will agree again." Lilly said thinking about previous conversation.

Dumbledore said "Make sure he words it correctly. He can leave a loophole to slip through."

Everyone nodded and then Sirius said "May be if we can confine him, he will do what we want for his freedom."

"He was habituated to isolation and confinement since he was four. It won't work." Lilly said thinking of conversation she had with him after first dueling tournament.

"Fine we will tell Dan and Rose to be nice to him and see what happens." James said but what he heard shocked him.

"He will see through it like seeing through glass James. We are lucky he is with us. If he turns dark we will have a opponent whom we won't be able to match. We shouldn't have left him James. I regret my decisions but we can't change it." Dumbledore said in a defeated voice.

Though everyone left the topic there they were thinking what they have done. No one felt what they have done was wrong they feared the boy they made from their deeds.

After Christmas break everyone returned and Harry was hugged by Padma and Parvati as soon as they saw him in the common room in front of everyone turning the said boy beet red. Once they got settled Harry told his plan of finding out truth about Quirrell and everyone agreed.

Soon the classes started and Harry put a paper cut charm on his DADA assignment. After the class Harry personally waited to submit the assignment. He said "Professor I had a doubt why trolls skin is not used in making amours though it is impervious to spells." Harry said thinking and walking towards professor Quirrell.

"Ah, it is..is due to…to the..the fat Mr. Potter" He said stuttering.

"Thank you Professor. My assignment" Harry said and placed his assignment in Quirrell's hand. It made a small cut but it was enough as Harry saw black liquid ooze out. Harry quickly said "Sorry professor"

Quirrell replied "its ok Mr. Potter. Accidents happen and healed his hand". Harry noticed the lack of stutter but left.

After a few days Harry made a plan to capture Quirrell. They had last class on Saturday. So he decided to follow him into an empty corridor before stunning him and finding who is behind it. He had his suspicions but not enough proof.

So after the class on Saturday Harry and friends left and quickly detached themselves from their group. Then they completely vanished hiding even their magical signatures and silencing their feet. Quirrell walked to third floor and they followed. As he was about to enter the room having Cerberus Harry signaled and all the four rained Quirrell with most powerful stunners they had. Harry thought "putta" which was an Elvin stunner and was very powerful. Others used Gobblegook version and soon Quirrell was down on ground. Harry used "lia" which was ancient spell for binding and Quirrell was bound in chains as well as magically. Harry sent messenger spells to Flitwick and McGonagall and in the mean while cast "Homieum revelo". He found an additional name of Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldemort and his suspicions were confirmed. He knew Quirrell would be out only for few hours even with such powerful spells as he drank unicorn blood recently. He took off his turban to find a horrific face and smell of rotten flesh.

Soon McGonagall and Flitwick arrived at the scene along with Dumbledore. Dumbledore immediately said smiling "Mr. Potter you will face charges for injuring and cursing a teacher and staff. You may pack your bag as you will be expelled." He thought now he can offer Harry to stay if he agreed to tutor the chosen ones. He felt victorious.

Harry replied "Professor I would certainly like to push charges against you to allow a known criminal and mass murderer to teach in your school and endanger many lives of innocent students. It was your duty to confirm all your staff was safe."

Dumbledore looked shocked and said "What are you saying?"

"Quirrell here is possessed by Voldemort and was trying to steal Philosopher's stone. If it wasn't for the efforts of me and my friends he would have succeeded today."

Everyone was shocked but after few minutes McGonagall asked "Mr. Potter how you knew Quirrell was possessed? Explain from the start."

Harry said "First of all professor his stutter was fake. He stuttered on all his words while a person who actually has that problem stutters only on first word and last. On Halloween he came running and shouted. It is to be observed he didn't stutter and a fainted forward that was when I started suspecting something was wrong. No one faints forwards. Moreover he was considered to be expert on trolls. Where he ran and I beat it, my suspicion only strengthened. But then he comes along with professor Snape and is well. Then he is missing from evening meals and is not in his quarters. This I knew from overhearing few seniors. I faced a wraith in forbidden forest and saw its blood was black and was drinking unicorn blood. Only one at brink of death drinks unicorn blood to gain a cursed life. I found out in my research that Hogwarts was housing Philosophers stone and all the pieces were put into place when Quirrell cut his hand on my assignment and same black blood came out. To be sure I caste revealing spell which I learnt yesterday and got Voldemort's name along with some Riddle which might be his real name considering Voldemort is a acronym. I sent the messenger spells immediately after this and as he was going through forbidden door all four of us stunned him."

As Harry finished his explanation Flitwick was stunned how this kid could solve the biggest mysteries which the great Dumbledore has failed. McGonagall too was in same thoughts and said "hundred points to each for such a extraordinary fete and hundred more for Mr. Potter for his logical thinking and informing teachers on time." She added "I believe special services to school and Order of Merlin are on the way to all four of you. What do you say Albus?"

Dumbledore who just came out of shock replied "Ah Minerva I believe it is best to keep it a secret lest should his followers know he may escape. Special services to school can be awarded and Filius please inform the auror's and other teachers to stand guard on Quirrell. We can't let him escape. I hope all of you keep it a secret"

Flitwick nodded and went while Dumbledore and Minerva waited on Quirrell. Harry said "It is a shame professor that you with all your talents and powers couldn't find out what an eleven year old could do. And it is grave error on your part to bring such a magically powerful artifact to school. We are here to learn. Not to fight evil wizards." Saying this he left leaving McGonagall thinking on his words.

Few hours later Quirrell woke up to see him bound by chains in a ministry cell. Voldemort forcefully ejected himself from his body thus killing Quirrell. Ministry dint mention this anywhere to escape from political black ash.

Next day people were shocked to see Ravenclaw gain five hundred points. They were leading by nearly nine hundred points thanks to Harry and Patil's. Everyone was sure Ravenclaw would win the house cup. Special services were to be awarded at end of term feast but reason was not mentioned.

Harry was eating Breakfast when he saw Flitwick coming and said "Yes, Yes Professor in headmaster's office after breakfast." Flitwick smiled at his best students antics and went on his way.

Harry knocked on Dumbledore's door and herd his voice "come in"

As Harry entered he found the entire Potter's, Black and some auror's. Dumbledore said "Harry it is unfortunate that….."

Harry completed saying "Voldemort escaped." Every auror was shocked but Harry continued "You forgot to put a spell to seal the spirits on his cell. I can deduce. Don't worry my lips are sealed. I can give you a oath if you want."

It was moody who replied "No need Mr. Potter. We trust you. Thanks to your efforts but it is unfortunate that it can't be made public. Dumbledore said he will give you the information but I felt responsible that I should tell you personally."

Harry smiled and said "It's ok auror moody. He would have escaped some how or other. When great Dumbledore couldn't stop him from entering the school then how can you stop him from leaving a body?"

All the auror's nodded and left. It was then Dumbledore turned to Harry and said "You see, my boy Voldemort has escaped even after best efforts. He can be only stopped by your siblings, Neville and Glory. They need your skills along with your magic. Please take them under your wing."

"That chance is gone. You should have thought before leaving me and punishing me for their mistakes. Anyway let me tell you I can't teach. You can have my magic and if you want an oath I am ready to give you one. I don't go back on my words unlike a few."

It was Lilly who replied "its ok Harry. We trust you."

Harry looked at her and nodded and said "Anything else?"

When they replied in negative he went away thinking "I will let you take my magic only to leave them as squibs. Then when I use it I will let you all see how it was to be pushed aside all my life'

Dumbledore said after Harry left "It was very wise of you Lilly. You can slowly gain his trust and then make him teach Dan and Rose." He smiled and continued facing the chosen ones "If you develop his skill of deduction it will be very easy to defeat Voldemort."

The year was over soon and it was end of term feast. After Harry and Patil's were given their awards Dumbledore stood up and said "Another year has passed and we have house cup to award. In last place we have Gryffindor with 230 points, third place we have Slytherin with 340 points in second place we have huffelpuff with 480 points and ion first place we have ravenclaw with 1200 points" At this all the claws cheered but Harry knew better. "Yes, well done ravenclaws but in the light of recent events I have few last minute points to be awarded. To Daniel Potter I award 200 points for at most courage. For Neville Longbottom I award 200 points for his loyal friendship. For Rose potter I award 200 points for quick thinking. For Glory Longbottom I award 200 points for keeping her cool in a sticky situation. For Ron weasely I award 200 points for courage beyond his age. I believe there is an order for change of decorations. With that the great hall decorations changed from those of Ravenclaw's to Gryffindor's. Only the house of lions cheered. Rest of the three fourths of castle was shocked at such blatant display of favoritism. Flitwick was red and Minerva was hot in temper. She sure wanted the house cup but Ravenclaw won it fair and square. She felt bad for them. But couldn't do anything like Flitwick

Harry was unaffected and soon left for potter manor. After few days at manor Harry was walking in the forest when he herd a similar voice "Young human help"

Harry turned and saw the snake which helped him discover his parseltounge abilities bursied and on death bed. He was about to heal her when it said "No, Youngling. My mate is dead and I don't want this life. All I ask you is a favor. Will you do it?"

Harry replied "I will do if it is in my power and doesn't cause any one any direct harm."

The snake said "That's fine young ling. Will you….
