The Riddle: The Philosopher Stone ( Shifting Script/ Harry Potter Fan-fiction )

Chapter 39:

It was May, there was nothing to really talk about during the last month as Sage and everyone else started to be friends with me again. Sage, Hermione, Ron, and Harry said they were working on something mysterious in the school, and because Sage knows everything, she decided it was best if I didn't join them. So when Sage was with the other three, I usually was with Draco, either having a staring contest, since we both knew we could stare into each other's eyes for so long, or we just hung out in the library, doing the most immature things possible. But I loved every single minute with him. In fact, one time, we were trying to duel each other ( because we were talking about what the best chocolate there is, he said the chocolate cauldrons, I said the chocolate frogs ) I won, but let's say the scenery around us wasn't as pretty as it was before. We broke a lot of glass and a lot of books were on the floor, ruined. We got kicked out for a week, but were able to go in the next week after. Anyways, everything was going not so bad in general, in fact, this was the best time of the second semester I have had in months. Fred and Sage were doing good I heard, and Ron was also not doing bad as he was hanging out with Hermione and Harry. Sometimes when I see the three of them, I can tell Ron blushes from seeing Hermione, which I think is adorable. But they are always busy apparently. Ron and I have also been playing wizard chess, which I always lose at. Ron has had so much good luck from it, that the only reason I play is because I'm waiting for the day I finally beat him for once. Neville has had a really big interest in Herbology that he answers every single question Professor Sprout asks to everyone. I almost thought everyday how he wasn't a Hufflepuff. Luna didn't ignore me before, as she thought I just needed space, but she started getting closer with me and taught me how to meditate. I mean, I don't meditate that often, but I only did if I really wanted to release the 'nargles' within. So, yeah. That was the whole summary of what's happened so far. Oh, I forgot to mention that during spring break when I stayed with my godfather, Uncle Leo talked to me about the dangers of the Malfoys, yet, he still allowed me to be close with Draco. I was surprised that he wasn't mad at me, but I was glad overall. But I suppose it's because he knew, that I loved him. Ew, not in a romantic way, did you really think that? I meant in a friendship way. I knew one thing for sure in my uncertain life, and it was that I would never marry Draco Malfoy. I saw him as a brother, close friend, but my companion? No, never.

It was the end of June and boy let me tell you, so much has happened. First, it turns out that Sage, Hermione, Ron, and Harry went into a dungeon I believe and did something with the sorcerer's stone. And the worst part was that Professor Quirrell was about to take it when Harry finally showed up and fought him. Hermione went to get Dumbledore as Ron was in the chess game and Sage was stuck fighting a load of knights. Charms did us good that's for sure. We found out that Professor Quirrell was my uncle's eyes and ears that he was talking about all along in the chamber. No wonder he stopped me abruptly when he saw me in the hall. Now that I think about it, he has been staring at me and Sage quite weirdly during D.A.D.A. I wish I was able to help, but I knew it would've been the best if I stayed away from the scene. Harry even got hurt because of me, and that broke my heart since he was so nice to everyone. I took my O.W.L.S. test just two weeks ago and I had such a high score that I was just behind Hermione by at least five points. Sage did pretty well too, but not as good as Hermione and I. I was astonished to understand Hermione was studying and uncovering a mystery at the same time. I'm sure Sage would've done better if she had more time to study, but she was focused on defeating the sorcerer's stone and finding a way to let the three headed dog they were talking about fall asleep. But at the end, everyone was safe and happy. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sage and I knew that this was not the way to end the first year though. Now it was time for all of us to say our goodbyes, as tonight was our final night here at Hogwarts. It was incredibly sad for all of us to leave, as we loved our year at Hogwarts. But this was just the start to something incredible. I was sitting in the Hufflepuff table, next to Hannah Abbott who was the kindest Hufflepuff I knew so far. Everyone was cheering, especially the Slytherins who thought they would be able to win for the seventh year in a row. I knew the Hufflepuff's had nothing protecting us, but I was fine with being last. McGonagall used the knife to ring the cup to grab everyone's attention. The what I call hat kept trying to fall of my head, but I kept straightening it so that it wouldn't. Dumbledore then stood up and said
