[Harry and Juniper walk down the stairs slowly. Halfway down, he winces, feeling his scar burning, and sees Professor Quirrell standing before the Mirror of Erised.]

"WHAT!"

"I did not see that coming"

Harry: ou? [Quirrell turns to face him] No, i-it can't be. Snape, h-he was the one—

Quirrell: Yes, he does seem the type, doesn't he? Next to him, who would suspect p-p-p-poor, st-stuttering Professor Quirrell?

Harry: But-but that day, during the Quidditch match, Snape tried to kill me.

Quirrell: [smiling evilly] No, dear boy. I tried to kill you! [Harry eyes him in disbelief and confusion] And trust me, if Snape's cloak hadn't caught fire and broken my eye contact, I would have succeeded. Even with Snape muttering his little countercurse.

Harry: Snape was trying to save me?

"Plot twistttttt" Barty Jr said.

Quirell: knew you were a danger to me right from the off. Especially after Halloween.

Juniper: Then you let the troll in!

Quirrell: Very good, Potter, yes. Snape, unfortunately, wasn't fooled. While everyone else was running about the dungeon, he went to the third floor to head me off. He, of course, never trusted me again. [he turns towards the mirror again; Harry winces as his scar burns again] He rarely left me alone. But he doesn't understand. I'm never alone. Never. [staring into the mirror] Now, what does this mirror do? I see what I desire. I see myself holding the Stone. But how do I get it?

Unseen Inhuman Voice: Use the boy. [Harry and Juniper look around, wondering where the voice is coming from]

"What was that voice?" James asks

Quirrell: [turns to Harry] Come here, Potter! Now! [Harry slowly walks down the stairs, towards Quirrell and the mirror] Tell me, what do you see? [Harry looks into the mirror, and for a few seconds, sees him standing next to Quirrell, then his reflection reaches into its pocket and pulls out a gleaming red ruby, the Philosopher's Stone; Harry stares in amazement as his reflection smiles and winks, then puts the stone back in its pocket; Harry feels his pocket and realizes the Stone really is in his pocket, then looks up again] What is it? [glances at Harry while speaking] What do you see?

Harry: [looks at Quirrell, then back at the mirror, determined not to let Quirrell know that he has the Stone] I-I'm shaking hands with Dumbledore. I've won the House Cup.

Unseen Inhuman Voice: He lies.

Quirrell: [angrily shouting] Tell the truth! What do you see?

Unseen Inhuman Voice: Let me speak to him.

Quirrell: [as Harry backs away, Juniper stands next to him] Master, you are not strong enough.

Unseen Inhuman Voice: I have strength enough for this.

[Quirrell reaches up and starts unwrapping his turban as he turns so his back is to the mirror. Harry and Junipe turn toward the staircase into the room, wondering whether they should try to escape, then turns towards Quirrell again. He is almost finished unwrapping his turban, save for a piece covering the back of his head. Finally, he removes the turban, revealing a scary-looking chalk white face. It was Voldemort. He cranes around and opens his eyes.]

"AHHHHHH!" The people in the great hall yell

Voldemort:Harry and Juniper Potter, we meet again.

Harry and Juniper: Voldemort

"That's Voldemort?" The Lestrange brothers ask

Voldemort: Yes. You see what I've become? See what I must do to survive? Live off another. A mere parasite. Unicorn blood can sustain me, but it cannot give me a body of my own. But there is something that can. Something that, conveniently enough, lies in your pocket Harry Potter. [Realizing Voldemort is referring to the Philosopher's Stone, Harry turns and runs back up the stairs.J uniper follows him]

Voldemort: Stop him! [Quirrell snaps his fingers, instantly causing fire walls to block all the exits, trapping Harryand Juniper in the room] Don't be a fool. Why suffer a horrific death when you two can join me and live?

Juniper: Never!

Voldemort: Haha. Bravery. Your parents had it too. Tell me, Harry, Juniper, would you like to see your mother and father again? Together, we can bring them back. [In the mirror, their parents appear in the reflection.] All I ask for is something in return. [Harry takes the Stone from his pocket.] That's it, Harry. There is no good and evil. There is only power, and those too weak to seek it. Together, we'll do extraordinary things. Just give me the Stone! [James and Lily Potter fade from the reflection]

Harry and Juniper: You liar!

Voldemort: Kill them!

"NOO!" everybody yells

"Once again, they're right here" Ron says

[Under orders, Quirrell soars into the air and grabs hold of Harry with one hand on his throat. They fall to the steps, causing the Stone falls out of Harry's reach as Quirrell chokes him. Juniper stands wide eyed and mad to the side. Her eyes and hands start glowing red]

Juniper: GET AWAY FROM HIM! [The red at her hands glows brighter and she throws the light at Quirrell. Quirrell goes flying off of Harry. Juniper runs to Harry and helps him up.]

'WOAH!"

"You can do that?!"

"THAT's SO COOL!"

"MY DAUGHTER'S A BADASS" James yelled that one

Juniper blushed from their comments, only his friends noticing that Regulus was looking at the girl in awe.

Quirrell: Ahh! Ahh! [He goes flying but starts to get back up slowly] What is this magic?

Voldemort: Fool, get the Stone!

[Quirrell runs forward towards Harry and Juniper, who then touches his face with their hands, Junipers glowing red, causing Quirrell to scream in pain, and especially Voldemort to wince. Harry and Juniper look on horrified as Quirrell backs up with his face horrendously burned. Quirrell crumbles as he walks forward, turning his body completely in ash and dust, and falls to the floor, leaving only his clothing. Harry and Juniper gasp, as they look at their hands and hurries over to the stone. Harry picks it up and sighs. However, from behind, dust clouds form from Quirrell's corpse, causing Harry and Juniper to turn around as the dust clouds with Voldemort's face rushes forward screaming and goes through them who also screams. Voldemort flies away, as they fall to the ground, unconscious. Harry holds the Stone in an outstretched hand.]








A/N: Boom, her powers are out. We will see a lot more of them in later chapter, I promise.
