Y/n and Harry Potter [Year 1]

Chapter 28

Your Pov:

"You mean You-Know-Who's out there, right now, in the forest?" Hermione asks. "But he's weak. He's living off the unicorns. Don't you see? We had it wrong! Snape doesn't want the Stone for himself, he wants the Stone for Voldemort." Harry and I say. "With the Elixir of Life, Voldemort will be strong again. He'll... he'll come back." I say. "But, if he comes back, you don't think he'll try to... kill you two, do you?" Ron asks us. "I think if he'd had the chance, he might've tried to kill us tonight." I say. Ron gulps And to think I've been worrying about my Potions final." He gulps.

"Hang on a minute. We're forgetting one thing. Who's the one wizard Voldemort always feared? Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore's around, Harry and Y/n, you're safe. As long as Dumbledore's around, you can't be touched." She tells us. She gives us a reassuring smile, we nod.

Later all the students are rushing out as they finish their exams. "I'd always heard Hogwart’s end-of-year exams were frightful, but I’ve found they're rather enjoyable." She chuckles. "Speak for yourself. All right there, Harry and Y/n?" He asks. Harry and I were walking next to the two rubbing our forehead right where our scars were. "Our scars. It keeps burning." He whimper. "It's happened before." She says. "Not like this." We say. "Perhaps you should see the nurse." Ron suggests. We think it may be a warning. It means danger's coming." I say. A look of realization came on mine and Harry's face. "Ah... Oh! Of course!" We say. Harry and I  start walking faster making Hermione and Ron speed up to catch us.

"What is it?" Hermione asks. "Don't you think it's a bit odd that what Hagrid wants more than anything is a dragon." Harry says. "And a stranger turns up who just happens to have one? I mean, how many people wander around with dragon eggs in their pocket?" I finish. "Why didn't we see it before?" We both groan. We approach Hagrid's hut and he is playing a flute. "Hagrid, who gave you the dragon egg?" Harry asks. "What did he look like?" I ask. "I dunno. I never saw his face. He kept his hood up." Hagrid says. "This stranger though, you and he must have talked." Hermione says. "Well, he- he wanted to know what sort of creatures I looked after. I told him, I said, after Fluffy a dragon's gonna be no problem." He chuckles.

"Did he seem interested in Fluffy?" I ask. "Well, o’ course he was interested in Fluffy! How often do you come across a three-headed dog, even if you're in the trade? But I told ‘im, I said, I said, ‘The trick with any beast is to know how to calm ‘im. Take Fluffy, for example, just play him a bit o’ music, and he falls straight to sleep.’ I shouldn't have told you that." He says. We all run off. "Where are you going? Where are you-?" I hear Hagrid yell. Harry, Hermione, Ron and I run into the Transfiguration classroom to talk to McGonagall. "We have to see Professor Dumbledore, immediately!" Harry and I yell. "I’m afraid Professor Dumbledore is not here. He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and left immediately for London." She says. "He’s gone! Now! But, this is important! This is about the Philosophers Stone!" Harry says. "How do you know-" "Someone’s going to try to steal it!" I yell. "I don’t know how you four found out about the Stone, but I assure you it is perfectly well protected. Now, would you go back to your dormitories, quietly." She says. We leave the classroom talking to each other. "That was no stranger Hagrid met in the village. It was Snape. Which means, he knows how to get past Fluffy." I say. "And with Dumbledore gone-" "Good afternoon. Now, what would four young Gryffindors, such as yourselves, be doing inside on a day like this?" We hear Snape say. We all jump and quickly turn around. "Ah, w- w- w... we- we were just-" "You ought to be careful. People will think you’re... up to something." He says before walking away. "Now, what do we do? Hermione asks. "We go down the trap door, tonight." Harry and I say, with determination.
