The news of the golden trio saving Hogwarts from their evil professor had spread like wildfire." Did you hear that Harry stopped profesor Quirell ? "
" Harry is so great "
And blah blah blah
I was mindlessly walking here and there when I reached the statue of a Gargoyle
I pondered for a moment and started guessing the password
" Lemon drops "
" Licorice wands "
" Bertie Botts every flavour beans "
After several attempts of both muggle and wizard sweets , the gargoyle finally moved at
" Cockroach Clusters"
Disgusting
I went to the door and Knocked waiting for my presence to be acknowledged
Hearing a faint ' come in ' I walked inside and saw Minnie and Snape watching me like a hawk
" What are you doing here miss Potter ? " Snape asked
I suppose i should have answered but honestly i was busy gwaking at the office
The cupboard with God knows what , the office designed in simple wood and gold. Painting of previous headmasters
And a table in the middle of the office
Dumbledore must have seen my expression because I heard him chuckling
" Whatever brings you here my dear girl ? " He asked kindly
I turned to him still gwaking
" This is your office? "
" You are here , are you not ? "
I blushed at my stupidity and digged my robe pocket and took out the stone
I heard Minnie gasp and Snape looked , well he looked his usual
Dumbledore looked amused with his usual twinkling. I swear this old man knows everything
" I'd appreciate if you didn't look in my head Dumbles " I said feeling him trying to invade my head
How did I know Occlumency ? I might have raided the restricted section and looked up to some really gruesome books with very gorey details.
That and , somehow I've always been able to feel and perform magic without a wand.
Perhaps this was a result of straining myself trying to do magic until I fainted at the Dursleys
" How do you have the stone Miss Potter ? " Dumbledore asked in his usual amused voice
" Well you see , when the mirror wasn't moved. I saw the mirror in one of the classrooms. Being my curious self i went to have a look at it. I won't tell you what I saw, that's private. Then i saw myself holding a stone. Next minute I know the stone was in my pocket. I freaked out because the stone won't go back to the mirror, so i transfigured an eraser i had and tried giving it to the mirror. Surprisingly, it accepted the eraser " I lied , well half - lied
Snape looked like I had just said someone killed his favourite pet. Minnie looked proud. Perhaps because I performed such a perfect transfiguration.
Dumbeldore, well he didn't look satisfied. He gave me a look that said ' I know you are hiding something but I would not ask ' Which I was grateful for
" Why didn't you tell anyone Camelia? " Snape asked
I stared at him before replying. This was the first time he called me by my name
" I had a doubt this was something precious so I searched the library. "
" You mean the restricted section " Minnie cut in
I gave a sly smile and then continued
" I figured this is the Philosopher's stone. I read about it being able to prolong live. "
" How does that justify you not telling anyone? " Snape asked
" You'd know if you let me finish" i said irritated
" Ya so , I thought someone must be after it , because why else would Flamel give it away. I apologise but i did not trust any of the teachers and kept the stone with me. I observed everyone and saw Quirell being the most suspicious "
" He'd mostly stutter but then would speak fluently only when he was around Harry or myself. His eyes too would have a red tint "
" And , he had a rotten smell around him. It was like he was using garlic in his classroom because he smelt such way. "
By the time I finished explaining, the three adults were left speechless and looked somewhat ashamed ?
Well they should be , their security was so lacking that three 11 year olds passed it.
" I must say that is some excellent observation skills Camelia " Dumbledore said looking directly at me
" Although I believe that isn't all ? "
Of course that isn't all , but I can't tell you that. Not yet atleast
" Yes. But , I will tell you that when the time is right" I said
Ah , how good it feels to know things even Dumbeldore doesn't
I acknowledged them once more before I left and walked to the great hall
I mostly tuned out for the evening only coming back to my senses when it was time to leave.
I must say , this was an interesting year.
I made friends, and one of the them who was the closest
" Do write to us, you prat " Flint said ruffling my hair
" I just styled it " I pouted smacking his hand making everyone in the common room laugh
" Honestly tho , do write to us. You're annoyingness has grown on us " Adrian winked
Shit , don't faint
" That's not even a word " Pansy huffed
" Every word had to have been said first by someone" I said giving Adrian a high-five
One year with these people and I've already seen them for who they really are
Kids , that's all they are. Kids who were taught wrong since they could understand their surroundings
After everyone left the common room, me and Draco went inside Theo's room.
I sat next to Theo who was been suspiciously quite.
He usually is quite , but not around me or Draco. It's like he's the most immature person around us and that's something considering Draco is the most immature person I've ever met
I looked up to Draco and found him already staring at us
" You alright Theo ? " I softly asked holding his hand in mine
" Idontwanttogo" he muttered
" I'm sorry ? "
" I don't want to go Cerry " he said looking directly in my eyes
What I saw broke my heart. He was scared and was desperate
He was scared of going back home. no , he was scared of going back to that place
And , he was desperate for someone to help him
Draco noticed it too and frowned
" Wanna come with me ? i get quite lonely during holidays" he asked
Theo turned to him and gave the brightest smile he had the entire year
" Yes " he said hugging both Draco and I
