Harry awoke to see Y/N awake and enjoying the sweets left to him by one or two visitors while talking to Daphne Greengrass until Dumbledore entered.

"I'm never hearing the end of this am I?" Daphne asked as Y/N looked at him.

"Stealing my chocolates that you sent me, while I'm in Hospital. Not while there's breath in my body." Y/N said as he looked at Dumbledore.

"Ah, you're both awake, Daphne, might I have a moment? I see you both have a few tokens from your admirers." Dumbledore said as Harry grew confused.

"Admirers, sir?" Harry asked.

"What happened down in the dungeons, between the two of you, and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret. So, naturally, the whole school knows." Dumbledore joked as Y/N and Harry smiles. "Ah, I see your friend Ronald has saved you the trouble of opening your chocolate frogs."

"Ron was here? Is he alright-"

"What about Hermione?" Y/N asked as Dumbledore raised his hand reassuringly.

"Fine. They're all, just fine." Dumbledore said calmly.

"But what happened to the stone?" Harry asked.

"Relax dear boy. The stone has been destroyed. My friend Nicholas and I have had a little chat and agreed it was best all around." Dumbledore explained.

"But Flamel...He'll die, won't he?" Harry asked.

"He has enough elixir to set his affairs in order, but, yes, he will die." Dumbledore told Harry.

"How is it I got the stone sir? One minute I was staring in the mirror, and the next--"

"Ah. You see, only a person who wanted to find the stone-- find it, but not use it-- would be able to get it. That is one of my more brilliant ideas, and between us three, that is saying something."

"Does that mean, with the stone gone, that is, that Voldemort can never come back?" Harry asked.

"Ah, I'm afraid...there are ways in which he can return. Harry, do you know why professor Quirrell couldn't bear to have you touch him?" Harry shook his head. "It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you, and that kind of act leaves a mark."

Harry instinctively reached for his scar.

"No, no. This kind of mark cannot be seen. It lives in your very skin." Dumbledore said.

"What is it?"

"Love, Harry. Love." Dumbledore said as he patted Harry on the top of the head before taking one of the every flavour beans.

"Mmm. Alas. Ear Wax." Dumbledore said earning a laugh from both Harry and Y/N.

They were both discharged from hospital on the same day, as they walked out together they saw Hermione and Ron waiting for them.

"All right there, Ron?" Harry and Y/N asked.

"Yeah, what about you two?" Ron asked as they both smiled and gave a nod as a silent indication that they were fine.

"You all right there Hermione?" Y/N asked as she looked at them and smiled.

"I am now that you are." She said. They all gathered up and headed off to the great hall for the awarding of the house cup and the end of year ceremony.

As they walked in the Slytherin banners were up, the quartet just sat down with a few of the Gryffindors asking about what happened in the dungeons. The room was brought to silence when McGonagall used her spoon to tap her glass, getting the attention of the whole room. Dumbledore stood up.
