Hello everyone and welcome back! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter cause we are getting close to the end of the Sorceror's Stone Arc and I will say that When Harry does return to Hell, he will be hanging out with other Hellborns and sinners. But I have to introduce them first. Anyway, let's get to some Q&A.

Gamelover41592: Yes it will. Also, Lucifer doesn't get along with any of his brothers and sisters. Especially Jesus. As for Flammel, he is nearing that special number.

Sm0keyPanda: He kinda dissevered it.

Jozs001: I'll be sure Harry spends time with Hellborn and sinners when he comes back home.

Chapter 10: The Forbidden Forest

Many months have passed since Harry, Ron, and Hermione found out who Nicolas Flamel was and kept an eye out for Snape or anyone that got too close to the third floor. Harry was doing good with his classes and caught the Snitch at every Quidditch game he was in. One time, he even broke the school record by grabbing the Snitch after only about five minutes into the game. The trio tried to visit Hagrid, but he keep on saying that he was busy for some reason.

Spring had arrived and Harry and Ron decided that they should visit Hagrid tonight. "What if he's still busy?" Hermione asked her two friends.

"With what? I mean it's not like he's grading papers or anything," Ron told her. "Besides, it's been months. Whatever he was so busy with should be done by now."

The trio continue to walk to class until Malfoy stood in their way with his two goons behind him. "Going somewhere?"

"Classes. Where else," Ron hissed at the blonde-haired Slytherin as the three tried to get past the Slytherins. "Move, Malfoy!"

"Say please," Malfoy demanded.

"We don't have time," Ron tried to push through but gets pushed back.

"Say please, Weasley, or I'll turn your red hair green," Malfoy threatens as he points his wand at Ron.

"He doesn't have to say anything, Malfoy," Harry stepped up to him.

Malfoy smirks smugly as his wand was now pointed at Harry. "Very brave of you, Magne. Too bad it means you're foolish as well. Furnunculus," he said as a gold light came out of his wand, but bounced off Harry and back at the Slytherin as he fell backward. Crabbe and Goyle picked up their so-called boss onto his feet. As Malfoy got up, his entire face was covered in zits and boils, making him look like some sort of toxic fungus. Harry, Ron, and Hermione laughed at the blond Slytherin. "I'll get you for this, Magne! Mark my words," he exclaimed as Crabbe and Goyle took him to the Hospital Wing.

"How did you reflect the spell off him," Ron asked the Boy who Lived.

"I didn't. The ring my parents gave me reflected the spell right back at him," Harry told his best friend as he quickly showed the ring on his right hand. "It only rebounds curses, though. I'd probably still be levitated by one of you guys."

"Wicked," Ron said, impressed by the strong protective magic.

"Thanks. Now then, let's get to class," Harry told them as they headed to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Later that night, the trio snuck out and was able to hide with Harry's Invisibility Cloak. Making their way to Hagrid's hut, Harry stuffed the cloak into his new bag Charlie gave him and knocked on the door. The half-giant of a man opened the to see the trio. Hagrid was wearing an apron and some oven mittens. "Hagrid."

"What are you three doing out so late, go back to the castle and get back to bed," the half-giant said to them, ready to close the door.

"We know about the Sorcerer's Stone," Harry, Ron, and Hermione said in unison, making the half-giant stop.

"Oh… might as well come on in fer some tea then," Hagrid said as he invited all three of them inside.

"We think Snape or someone is trying to steal it," Harry told him.

"Snape? You're still on about that?" Hagrid said as he makes the tea in the kettle above something else in the fire.

"Hagrid, we know he's after it. We just don't know why," Harry told him as he and Ron sat on the bench next to Fang while Hermione sat on the Sofa.

"Professor Snape is one of the teachers protecting the stone. He doesn't want ter steal it," Hagrid told the Prince of Hell.

"Wait, what?" Harry asked as he looked at Ron with a confused look as he once again. "One of the teachers? You mean others know about it?"

"Of course! Other spells and enchantments protecting the stone," Hermione said, realizing there must be a variety of tricks to keep a treasure like the stone protected.

"You got that right. Waste of bloody time if you ask me, though. There ain't nothing getting past Fluffy," Hagrid said proudly. "No sir, no one but me and Dumbledore."

"Expect for Harry and his sister," Ron stated as he was slobbered on by Fang.

"Well, them too. But that's just them knowing those kinda dogs," Hagrid said a bit awkwardly as something was rattling inside the fireplace.

"What is that," Hermione asked as all three of the trio heard the rattling.

"Oh, it's ready," Hagrid said happily as he reached in for the fire and took a large red egg from within as it continued to shake and rattle within as he placed it on the table.

Harry, Ron, and Hermoine got out of their seats and gathered around. Harry's eyes opened widely as he recognized what it was. "Hagrid, where did you get this?"

The half-giant knew he couldn't lie to Harry about the egg so he told him the truth. "Alright, Your mum and sister gave it to me as a gift back on Christmas for looking out fer ya," Hagrid admitted.

"Mom and Charlie gave you that," Harry asked.

Before Hagrid could answer to the Prince of Hell, the egg started to crack, and steam burst out as it exploded. In the center of the table was a small wyvern with bright red scales, two black horns on its head, a spear-like tail, a bumpy back, and orange slit eyes.

"Is that… a dragon," Hermione asked.

"It's nothing I've seen from my brother sending pictures during his studies. I think it's a new species," Ron said as he looked at the beast.

"It's a Firestorm Wyvern. A boy from the colors it has," Harry told everyone at the table. "I can't believe Charlie and Mom gave you an egg to one."

"How do you know about this species? You also have a rare snake no one has ever seen before and haven't been seen in the wizarding community for over 10 years," Hermoine asked as she was getting suspicious. Ron was also sharing the same look.

'Oh, crap,' Harry thought to himself as he didn't have an answer. He looked to Hagrid for something he could use but the half-giant couldn't think of one.

Luckily for him, the dragon was giving a low roar towards the half-giant and wagging his tail like a puppy. "Oh, look at him! He knows his mommy. Hello, Norbert," Hagrid greeted the newborn dragon.

"Norbert," Ron questioned.

"Well, he's got to have a name," Hagrid told them. "Aren't you a cute dragon, tickle tickle," Hagrid cooed as he scratched the dragon's chin.

"Hagrid, wait! If you continue to do that, then-" Before Harry could fully warn him, Norbert sneezed out some small embers that nearly set Hagrid's bushy beard on fire.

The half-giant patted himself down to put out the flames. Luckily, only a few whiskers were burnt and there was no other damage. "Need to be trained up, of course," Hagrid said to the trio as they nodded in agreement. The half-giant squinted out from his window and bent over. "Who is that?"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione turned around to see what Hagrid was looking at and saw Draco Malfoy, who ran off in a panic. "Fuck. It's Malfoy," Harry cursed.

"Watch the language," Hagrid pointed out to Harry. "You three better be going now. Go, go," he told all three of them as the trio ran out as fast as possible.

"Hagrid always wanted a dragon, he told me and my family," Harry said as they ran back to Gryffindor tower.

"Well, it was nice of your mom and sister to give him an egg, but is that bad," Hermione asked as they continued.

"Real bad," Ron said as all three of them stopped to see Professor McGonagall standing in front of them with Malfoy smirking beside her.

"Follow me," she told all of them as they had no choice but to obey. She walked them to her classroom and turned around. The trio looked on with guilt as Malfoy still had that smug smirk on his face. "Nothing and I mean nothing gives a student the privilege to wander the school at night. That is why 50 points will be taken."

"Fifty!?"

"Each," McGonagall strictly added. Ron and Hermione shared the same astonished look as Harry. "And to make sure that it will not happen again, all four of you will receive detention."

Malfoy's smug smirk dropped as he heard what the teacher said. "Excuse me, Professor. I think I heard you wrong. I thought you said the four of us."

"You heard me right, Mr. Malfoy," McGonagall told the blond. "Nobody is allowed out of their dormitory at night. And honestly, you deserve this sort of punishment just because your own curse backfired on you and you chose to blame Mister Magne for it. Just for that alone, an extra 50 will be taken from Slytherin."

While still upset that they cost their own House a great deal of points, the three Gryffindor students silently laughed at how Malfoy ended up shooting himself in the foot with his snitching. "No fair," whined Draco.

"Do you want me to make it an even 150 total," McGonagall warned, making Malfoy shut up. "For your detention, you shall be assisting Hagrid with some work he has been tasked with. You are to listen to him carefully or your punishment shall be extended."

"Yes, ma'am," the four children said.

"Very well. Get some sleep and handle your assignments as your detention begins at midnight tomorrow," she stated before escorting the 11-year-olds to their dorms.

"I blame you, Magne," Draco complained as Hagrid had the children following him through the Forbidden Forest.

"If there is anyone to blame, it's yourself," Harry said to the pure-blooded wizard. "You followed us and you told on us late at night."

"Hold it," Hagrid stopped them. He knelt on the ground and examined the silvery liquid.

"Hagrid, what is that stuff," Harry asked.

"Unicorn blood," the large man stated. "There's been attacks on them for a while. Last week was the second one I saw killed."

"When was the first," Ron asked with a gulp.

"Back when Harry's sister first visited, we found a dead mother with her baby upset at what happened. That's why there's that new unicorn in the Care for Magical Creatures stables," Hagrid explained.

"I remember her saying something like that. She hardly slept that night," Harry said as he heard something, turned his head as he thought he saw someone in a hooded cloak. "What was that?"

Seeing where Harry turned to, Hagrid pulled out a heavy crossbow that he easily carried with one hand thanks to his strength. Aiming, Hagrid was ready to fire at whatever threat was going to jump out at the kids. He looked around to see that there was nothing. "Alright, we split into two groups. We have to find the poor beast and recover it. Ron, Hermione, you're with me. Harry, you go with Malfoy and Fang."

"At least this beast will be good for something," Draco said as he looked at the boarhound.

"Not really," Hagrid told the Slytherin. "Fang's a coward." Malfoy looked on in shock and questioned why he named the dog something vicious-sounding. "Now if you see something, send up a flare with your wands to signal the other group. Don't do anything without me around when you do."

"What if something attacks us after we send the signal," Hermione questioned.

"Aim for the face," Hagrid stated before leading Ron and Hermione into another section of the woods.

With Fang guiding them, Harry went with Malfoy in the other direction. "Wait until my father hears about this! This is servant stuff," Malfoy complained as he held up the lantern to see where they are going.

"Do you ever shut the fuck up," Harry grumbled at the Slytherin. "It's always 'wait till my father hears about this' or something. Seriously, you get a paper cut and cry to daddy all the time?! We get it. Your family is rich. So is mine and you don't hear me bragging about it 24/7. And my parents don't always spoil me when I come crying, you little twat," Harry said before he heard Fang growling. "What is it, Fang," He asked as he and Malfoy stopped to see something or someone was next to a dead unicorn. The figure was kneeling down and Harry could tell it was drinking its blood. As he and Malfoy got closer to confirm this, Harry's scar began to sting.

The hooded figure looked up and the boys could see was the silvery blood dripping out from its mouth while the hood and darkness obscured the rest of their head. Malfoy let loose a girlish scream as he dropped the lantern and ran off with Fang following behind him. As the pain was subsiding, Malfoy continued to run away like a little girl while screaming for help. The Prince of Hell saw the figure stand up and menacingly walk toward him with the obvious intention to kill him. Seeing this, Harry pulled out his wand and shot up a flare in the sky to signal where he was and hopefully scare off the figure.

However, the figure continued to walk towards him, even as Harry pulled his sword out. "Get back! I'm warning you," he shouted as he stepped backward but the figure continued to walk towards him. "Alright then, you asked for it. Incendio," he shouted as a jet of flames shot out of his wand, making the figure slow down and dodge. "Incarcerous" he then exclaimed, binding the being for a good minute or two in summoned ropes before getting loose. Enlarging his sword, Harry ran toward the figure and aimed for its head in hopes of decapitating the unicorn killer.

The being backed off as Harry swung the holy weapon around, but he missed when the figure dodged. After repeating his moves a few times and getting the figure's back against a tree, Harry finally landed a blow as the figure was grazed on the chest. The figure backed off to the side and felt his chest bleeding. Growling as he showed his teeth, the figure pulled out his hand to give an enchantment just as Harry's scar began to sting more intensely, giving him a horrible headache.

Suddenly, something or someone appeared behind Harry along with thunderous sound of galloping hooves. "Don't even think about it," the figure behind Harry coldly said as they wielded dancing Hellfire in their hands. Turning around, Harry saw it was Charlie who appeared out of nowhere. Next to her was a beast-like being that was half man and half horse. The centaur stood in front of the cloaked figure and got on his hind legs, kicking furiously at the being before it fled, flying against the ground like a bat out of Hell.

Seeing that the area looked clear, Charlie sighed in relief and let her flames die down before turning to Harry. "Are you okay?! I had this bad feeling you were in danger and got here as fast as I could," she said as she hugged her brother tightly.

"I'm fine now, but you're hugging me too tight," Harry told his sister who was practically breaking his spine before she loosened her hug. The Boy Who lived felt his backache as he stretched it out. "But thanks for saving me."

"I'm your sister. It's my job," Charlie said. "Then again, I wouldn't have found you if it wasn't for this nice centaur," she added as she gestured to the third figure standing next to the siblings.

Lowering his upper body down to look Harry in the eye, the young wizard took notice of the centaur's appearance. He looked to be in his mid-30's based on looks, had long white-blonde hair that reached to his back with a matching tail and brown equine body like a palomino horse, and had astonishingly blue eyes. "I believe this belongs to you, Harry Morningstar," Firenze said as he handed the letter to Harry. The Prince of Hell took the letter and saw that it had a wax seal of the Morningstar Family crest stamped on it. He figured it was the letter Hedwig was trying to deliver, but lost before reaching Hogwarts after the winter holidays ended.

"Thank you for giving this back to me," Harry thanked the centaur.

"You are most welcome. My name is Firenze," the centaur replied, introducing himself. "I also know who you are, Charlotte Morningstar," he told the Princess of Hell.

"Oh, um… actually, it's Charlie," she replied, preferring not to be addressed by her full name most of the time. "Wait, you know about me?"

"Back in October, I witnessed you and Rubeus Hagrid mourn the unicorn that lost its life and brought the foal to safety. You are a kind soul despite what others would assume about your heritage," Firenze explained.

Charlie and Harry were surprised about what the centaur said, then looked up at the flare Harry sent out earlier. Seeing that it was fading, Harry frowned. "I wonder if Hagrid and the others can still find me?"

"It is much too dangerous to be in this part of the forest," Firenze stated before he kneeled down. "I shall carry you to where we shall meet with your compatriots," he said, offering to give the siblings a safe ride through the woods.

While Firenze carried the Morningstar siblings on his back, he spoke to them about the recent events he had witnessed in the forest. "The stars have told me that you both would be in the forest at this exact night."

"The stars? You can read them," Charlie asked. "It sounds like Prince Stolas of Ars Goetia."

"We took many lessons from Prince Stolas as he was the one to teach our ancestors how to read the constellations and planets," Firenze explained.

"That explains a lot. Stolas taught us about those things and herbology," Harry stated as he remembered one of his teachers who taught him the different herbs and plants. "By the way, Firenze. What was that thing that killed the unicorn? I know it's not a vampire because they don't attack other animals."

"You are right. It is a monstrous creature," Firenze said with a heavy tone. "The night your sister first came here, the same monster killed the first unicorn and orphaned its child. It is a crime to slay a unicorn, but drinking its blood will keep you alive even if you are an inch from death's doors. But it comes with a terrible price. Once the blood touches your lips, you will have a half-life. A cursed life."

Harry thought this through and began to put the pieces of the puzzle together to the best of his ability. Charlie and Hagrid found a dead unicorn before, so someone had to be drinking its blood to avoid dying. That's when it hit him. The Sorcerer's Stone, the break-in at Gringotts, Fluffy guarding the stone. "Voldemort. That was Voldemort!"

"Firenze, what are you doing! You have a human and a demon on your back! Have you no shame!? Are you a common mule," a centaur with dark hair and a black equine body called out. He was accompanied by another centaur with shorter red hair with a beard to match and a glimmering chestnut horse body.

"Bane, Ronan. Do you know who these two are?" Firenze asked his companions. "This is Harry Morningstar and his sister."

"We know who they are, but why did you save him? It was predicted that the Morningstar boy was to die in this forest," Bane said to his fellow centaur.

"What," Charlie asked angrily, ready to rip the other centaur's head off. However, Firenze held up his hand to let him speak before she did something she would regret.

"You must have read the stars wrong, it was said that Harry would be attacked but saved, I happened to come by Charlotte Morningstar to escort her," Firenze explained himself. "Take a look. Mars is not as bright and Orion is not pointing at the red planet."

The two other centaurs looked up and saw that it wasn't. "He's right, we read it wrong. Continue as you were," Ronan said to Firenze as the centaur continued to lead the Magne siblings out of the forest.

Firenze walked them closer towards the edge of the forest, allowing Harry and Charlie to see the lights of the castle. "Harry," said a voice that sounded a lot like Hermoine. Both Morningstar siblings turned around and saw her, Ron, Malfoy, Fang, and Hagrid who had his crossbow at the ready.

Hagrid lowered the weapon when he saw who was with Harry. "Hello, Firenze. I see you met young Harry," the half-giant remarked as he couldn't believe who was with him. "Is that you, Charlie?"

"Yep. It's me," Charlie said sheepishly as she jumped off Firenze's back and held her arms out to Harry as he jumped into his sister's arms.

"This is where I leave you, Harry and Charlie Morningstar. You are safe now. The planets have been read wrongly before now, even by centaurs and Stolas himself. I hope this is one of those times," Firenze told them both before trotting back deep into the forest.

Both of the Morningstar siblings approached Hagrid as Harry was ready to give the half-giant the news. "The unicorn is dead, Hagrid. Its body is a few yards away."

Hagrid nodded in appreciation of the news Harry gave him and he turned his attention to the Princess of Hell. "And why are you out here? Shouldn't you be at home?"

"Call it a big sister sense that was tingling," Charlie told Hagrid. "And a good thing too. Harry almost died from the thing that killed the unicorn."

Hagrid's beetle black eyes widened as he heard what she just told him. "You saw it," he asked as she nodded.

"It was humanoid and wore a cloak," Charlie told him as she couldn't make out the details.

"Alright. You lead these four back into the castle," Hagrid said to Charlie as he and Fang went back into the forest.

As soon as Charlie dropped Malfoy back into the Slytherin dormitory, she accompanied her brother and his friends to Gryffindor tower. The four of them discussed what she and Harry figured out in the common room near the fireplace.

"You mean to tell me You-Know-Who's out there right now in the forest?" Hermione asked both Morningstar siblings.

"Yes, but he's weak. He's hunting down unicorns to survive," Harry answered her. "But it's only temporary. He's really after the stone."

"You figured it out before dad's letter could reach you," Charlie said as she eyed the unopened message in her brother's hand.

"Let me see what he wrote," Harry told her as he took out his shrunken sword to open it to reveal the message.

"Harry, if you are reading this, I have found out that Dumbledore is hiding the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone for Flamel in the castle. I believe that Voldemort is trying to gain that stone to regain his body. Find the Stone and destroy it. If Dumbledore asks, just tell him it was my idea. Even Flamel needs to see the end of his age. Immortality has many downsides for honest men.

Sincerely your father, Lucifer.

Oh, and if he dies on his 666th birthday, I want to make it a celebration."

'Good thing dad was aware of that,' Harry smirked as he folded the letter in his robes. "He's aware of the stone. He thinks it best to destroy it."

"Destroy the stone? Has he gone mad," Ron asked.

"It's probably for the best. If Voldemort gets his hands on the stone, he'll be powerful again," Charlie shared her opinion.

"Can you two stop saying the name aloud," Ron told both Morningstar siblings as he felt creeped out.

"Sorry, Ron, but this is important," Harry told his best friend.

"Wait a moment, who's the one wizard You-Know-Who's afraid of," Hermonie asked them, making them tilt their heads. " You-Know-Who was always afraid of Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore is around, the stone is safe and that means you're safe as well, Harry."

'Dumbledore or my parents,' Harry thought to himself, but still felt comfortable with what Hermione told him.

"Charlie, tell Dad I'll do it if it's necessary," Harry told his elder sister who nodded in agreement. He turned to his friends for the coming plan. "After exams, we'll tell Dumbledore. Hopefully, it will give him a warning on what's to come."

During the exams, the students were dealing with various tricky tests from each of their teachers. Luckily, Harry and Hermione were able to tutor Ron enough that he was able to not stress over every question. In each class, Harry was able to handle his papers in nearly record time, so he took to glancing around the room. During his Defense Against the Dark Arts final, he saw Quirrell was hunched over in pain, but the teacher gave the excuse that he slept wrong for the last few nights. After everything was finished, Hermione gave her input on the finals. "I heard how difficult the final exams were, but I rather enjoyed them," the young witch remarked.

"Speak for yourself," Ron said, not confident with his results despite his smarter friends tutoring him.

"Let's just focus," Harry said as the three kept walking. "Isn't it odd that we haven't seen Dumbledore all day despite him showing up to talk to us before the first few exams?" Sensing something was wrong when Harry was correct, the trio ran through the halls of Hogwarts and entered McGonagall's class while she was grading some papers. The Transfiguration teacher wondered why the three troublemakers of her house approached her when Harry spoke up. "We need to see Professor Dumbledore immediately!"

"I'm sorry to say this, but Professor Dumbledore got an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and is in London," McGonagall told the Prince of Hell.

"He's gone? Dammit," Harry muttered the last word before he composed himself. "Do you know when he'll be back?"

"No, I haven't. I'm not sure when he'll be back," she told him as she was wondering why the boy wanted to talk to the Headmaster. "Magne, what is the meaning of this?"

Having no other choice, Harry told her. "Someone might be after the Sorcerer's Stone."

The Deputy Headmistress took off her reading glasses and stared at him. "How did you know about the-"

"I figured it out over the year," Harry said. "When I was in Gringotts bank, Hagrid picked it up to give to Dumbledore. Hagrid loaned him his giant dog to guard the trapdoor that leads to the Stone. They hid it in the school and somebody's going to steal it."

McGonagall was surprised at how Harry was able to share details of the Sorcerer's Stone, but kept herself calm enough to speak to the children. "I can assure you that the Stone is perfectly well-protected. Now please, would you three go back to your dormitories? Quietly."

The three exited the room and started to mutter to themselves. "I don't trust it, with Dumbledore gone, Snape will somehow get past Fluffy and I bet he-"

"Good afternoon," a cold voice said from behind them. The trio turned their heads to see Snape was practically on top of them. They practically jumped as they leaped a few inches back as he stared at them. "Now what would three Gryffindors like yourselves be inside on a day like this?"

"We were going to see Hagrid like we always do on the weekends," Harry told the potion master to give a good excuse while giving him a determined look as if daring him to try stealing the Stone with him around.

"Well. You better not stay out too late like last time, otherwise, people will think you're… up to something," Snape told them as he was focusing on Harry's steely gaze. Before he left, Snape took notice of Harry's ring. "That's a very intriguing ring you have there, Mister Magne," he voiced before walking off with his cloak billowing in the breeze like a vampire gliding across the ground.

Watching Snape head off, Hermione turned to Ron. "Now what do we do?"

With the steeled look in his eyes still showing, Harry made a declaration that his friends immediately agreed with. "We go down the trapdoor. Tonight. That Stone won't leave Hogwarts in one piece."

And that's where we'll end this chapter. Just one or two more to go for the Sorcerer's Stone Arc and we will be going back to Hazbin Hotel with Dante!

So who would you guys like Harry to interact with when he's home? I plan on him meeting a few demons but I would like to hear it from you guys. Best to have some other interactions before the start of the Chamber of Secrets.

Remember to favorite this story, follow and be good people. See all of you in Hell!
