3rd person's POV
Harry stood up and helped Y/n to get up. The man who help stepped forward. He looked like he was Half Human- Half Horse.
"Harry Potter, you must leave. you are known to many creatures here..." He said and Y/n came and stood beside Harry. the centaur stared at her for few seconds and then bowed his head
"Pleasure to meet you Ms. Kim..." He greeted her and she bowed back
"Thank you saving us" Y/n smiled
"You two must leave...The Forest is not safe at this time. Especially for you two" He said
"What was that thing you saved us from?" Harry asked
"A monstrous creature. It is a terrible crime to slay a unicorn" He said looking at it
"Drinking unicorn blood will keep you alive even if you are an inch of death. But at a terrible price. For you have a slain something so pure...that from the moment the blood touches your lips...you will have a half- life. A cursed life" He told them
"What would choose such a life?" Harry asked
"Can you think of no one?" Centaur asked him
"Think about it, Harry.....It is obvious" Y/n told him
"Do you two mean to say that thing that killed the unicorn, that was drinking its blood .. " Harry begun
"That was Voldemort?" Harry asked and Y/n nodded her head. The centaur came close to them
"Do you know what's hidden in the school at this very moment Mr. Potter and Ms. Kim?" He asked them
"The Philosopher's Stone" Harry and Y/n replied in Unison and they heard the others approaching.
"Y/n, Harry!!!" Hermione called them.
"Hello there, Firenze. See you've met out young Potter and youngest Kim" Hagrid said
"All right there you two?" He asked them and they nodded
"Harry Potter.. Y/n Kim.. This is where I leave you... You're safe now..Good Luck" Firenze said and started walking away from them.
"WAIT!!!!" Y/n said and the Centaur stopped. Y/n started walking towards him while searching something from her pocket. when she reached she said
"HA!!!! got it... can you.. bent a little?" She asked him and he confusedly listened to her and did as she told.
She pulled out a bandage and placed it on the arms of the centaur.
"You are hurt.... It will help to heal it" Y/n smiled at him. He looked like it touched its heart
"You are a greater person I thought you were" He said to her and she grinned
"It was my job to do... Thank you again for helping us" Y/n replied politely
The Centaur patted her head and ran away. she turned back and started walking
"That was really nice of you to do that" Ron said when she reached them
"Yeah... I didn't even notice he was hurt" Harry said
" He will always remember it...He's gonna help you every time when something goes wrong when you're into this forest." Hagrid said and started walking "Let's go back"
"What was that thing you...placed it on him?" Draco asked her while walking
"that?? it was a Bandage" Y/n told him
"Band- what?" Draco asked not understanding
"Bandage.... Muggles heal the wounds with them. It takes time but it works" Y/n explained it to him and Ron was listening with curiosity
"But.. why were you keeping it with you?" Ron asked her
"We are in a forest.. anyone could get hurt" Y/n told him like it was obvious
"We can go to the hospital wing..." Draco spat "Better that using that muggle stuff"
"But it is fastest option... good one Y/n" Hermione said to her
After that they went to their common rooms.
"You mean. you-know-who is out there right now in the forest?" Hermione asked and Y/n nodded
"But he's weak... he's living off the unicorns...Don't you see ?? we had it wrong!" Harry said
"Snape doesn't was the stone for himself. He wants the stone for Voldemort" Harry said
"How are you SO SURE that it is Snape???? It could be anyone else" Y/n said disagreeing with him
"But.. He is the only suspect we know.. who has a... dark personality.. you know?" Ron said
"I can't argue with that.. It is kinda true" Y/n said and leaned back letting them discuss
"So.. with the Elixir of Life. Voldemort will be strong again. He'll come back" Harry took a seat beside Y/n
"But if he come backs you don't think he'll try to......kill you, do you?" Ron asked him
"If he'd had the chance, he might have tried tonight" Harry said and Ron Gulped
"He's not strong enough Harry... You can fight him easily" Y/n Chuckled
"What are you laughing at???? You know.. you will be in danger too" Ron told her and she stopped laughing immediately.
"What do you mean by that?" Y/n asked him and Ron gulped
"I heard my father talk about your family some times ago... he said that you-know-who wanted to end your family so no one could defend him...And since you're the first female... people say you'll be more powerful...And I reckon that.. he might want to... kill you too" Ron explained and now Y/n was scared.
"Hold on a minute.. We're forgetting one thing..." Hermione interrupted
"Who's the on wizard Voldemort always feared??"She asked the boys looked at each other clueless and Y/n smirked at Hermione
"Dumbledor!" Y/n and Hermione said in unison
"As long as Dumbledor is around.. you two are safe.." Hermione said encouragingly
"As long as Dumbledor is around.. we can't be touched" Y/n said smiling at Harry and others. Everyone felt relieved, except Y/n.
Time Skip Few Days
Final exams had arrived at Hogwarts, Harry along side Ron found them hard. Hermione and Y/n Aced all subjects and they tied with first place, that surprised Y/n. She thought She'll fail for sure. After they found out that Jake was First in his year. They were now roaming the School grounds to let time pass by.
"I've always heard Hogwarts'final exams were frightful. I found that rather enjoyable" Hermione beamed walking beside Ron
"Speak for yourself. You and Y/n aced everything. " Ron grunted
"I won't agree to that....It was hard for me too" Y/n giggled next to Harry
"All right there, Harry?" Ron asked him worriedly and Harry winced
"My Scar, keeps burning" Harry grunted in pain
"It happened before" Hermione said
"Not like this" Harry replied
"You should see the nurse" Ron suggested
"I think its a warning. It means Danger's coming" Harry said
"Don't think of it that way... maybe its telling to be alert for what's coming" Y/n said
"That's pretty much like a warning" Ron said and Y/n slight glared at him and Harry stopped in his tracks
"Of course" Harry whispered and Y/n smirked
'finally' Y/n thought
"What is it?" Hermione asked following Harry
"Don't you think its a bit odd that what Hagrid wants more than anything is a dragon and a Strangers shows up who just happens to have one?" Harry said hurrying to Hagrid
"That's right...How many people wander around with dragon eggs in their pockets?" Y/n said walking beside Harry
"And when its almost illegal to own one" Ron said understanding
"Why didn't I see it before?" Harry said and started running
'Because you were supposed to find out now' Y/n thought following him
Soon they approached Hagrid who was peacefully playing the theme with his flute
"Who gave you that Dragon egg?" Y/n asked
"What did he looked like?" Harry continued
"I don't know...I never saw his face.. He kept his hood up" Hagrid told them
"This stranger though.....You and he must've have talked" Harry asked again
"Well... he wanted to know what sort of creatures I looked after. I told him that 'after Fluffy, a dragon's gonna be no problem" Hagrid smiled proudly
"Did he seem interested in Fluffy??" Y/n asked this time
"Well, of course he was interested in Fluffy.... How often you come across a three-headed dog?.. even if you're into the trait...But I told him, I said 'The trick with any beast is to know how to calm him...' take Fluffy for example..Play him a little bit of music and he falls straight to sleep" Hagrid said grinning
'Poor Hagrid' Y/n thought When others looked at each other
"I shouldn't have told you that" Hagrid said realizing and Four of them begun to Run
"Where are you going??? wait!!" Hagrid called for them
"Thanks for your time, Hagrid!!!" Y/n yelled while running
They ran straight to McGonagall's classroom
"We have to see Professor Dumbledor, immediately" Harry said
"I'm afraid Professor Dumbledor is not here.....He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and left" McGonagall said staring right threw them
"He's gone? but this is important" Harry pleaded
"This is about Philosopher's Stone" Y/n said in a low-tone and McGonagall froze
"How do you know?" she asked her
"Someone's going to try and steal it" Harry and Y/n said in unison
"I don't know how you four found about this, but I assure you it is perfectly protected...Now .. would you go back to your Dormitories... Quietly" She told them and they left her
"That was no stranger Hagrid met... It could be Snape" Harry said looking at Y/n asking to continue
"Which means the person knows how to get past Fluffy" Y/n said completely forgetting the person coming towards them
"And with Dumbledor gone---" Hermione begun
"Good Afternoon" They heard a deep voice behind them and turned to see Snape right behind them
"Now what would Four young Gryffindors such as yourselves..be doing inside on a day like this?" He asked and looked at girls
"Ah--we---we--" Hermione begun but couldn't say anything
"We were just---" Hermione continued
"You ought to be careful...People will think you're---" Snape said but got interrupted when he saw Harry glaring at him. Y/n followed Snape's stare and nudged Harry to stop him. Snape shifted his stare to Y/n. "Up to something" Snape Glanced at all of them and left
"Now what do we do?" Hermione asked
"We go down the trap door" Harry said
"Tonight" Y/n continued
Time skip At Night
After Dinner, All four of waited for everyone to sleep. At midnight, they came out of the dormitories and were walking towards the common room.They looked everywhere to see someone was there, except Y/n
"Trevor" Harry gasped
"Trevor, SHHH, go, you shouldn't be here" Ron scolded him
"You think that will work?" Y/n whispered
"Neither should you...You're sneaking out again, aren't you?" Neville asked him walking towards them
"Neville, listen...we were--" Harry tried to explain
"No!!!! I won't let you!! You'll get Gryffindor in Trouble again...I---I'll fight you" Neville said positioning himself to fight
"Hermione, Do it.. there's no other way" Y/n signed and Hermione pulled out her wand
"Neville.... We are really really sorry this..." Hermione said
"We really are" Y/n nodded that made Boys confused
"Pretrificus Totalus" Hermione chanted and Neville became stiff immediately, He fell backwards really hard. Harry and Ron gulped looking at the girls
"You two are little scary sometimes...you know that???" Ron asked in low-tone
"Brilliant..." He looked at them " But Scary" He said looking at Neville who was laying stiff on the ground
"Let's go" Harry and they walked away
"sorry...its for your own good, you know" Ron muttered while walking
After leaving the Common Room.. They wore Invisibility cloak over them. How four of them fitted perfectly in that was a question to Ron and Y/n. They silently walked in the quiet corridors.
"Ow! You stood on my Foot!" Hermione scolded Ron
"Sorry" Ron whispered.
When they reached their destination.. Y/n pulled out her wand
"Alohomora" Y/n whispered and the door opened. They slowly entered the room
"Wait a minute...He's--" Harry begun but the cloak flew over them from Fluffy's breath
"Snoring" Y/n completed for Him. They turned to other side of the room and saw a harp playing a soft tune.
"Snape's already been here....He's put a spell on the Harp " Harry said
"Ugh!!!!He's got horrible breath" Ron exclaimed and Fluffy let another breath out
"I agree" Y/n agreed shaking her hands near her nose
"We have to move his Paw" Y/n said
"What? Ron asked clearly not wanting to do it
"Come On!" Harry went to push its paw. they all followed him and with their complete strength, they moved Fluffy's paw off the trap door. Fluffy growled a little but went back to sleep. Y/n and Harry opened the Trap Door and were welcomed by the darkness inside.
"I'll go first. Don't follow until I give you a sign" Harry said but Y/n's attention was towards the dog's near them.
"If something bad happens get yourselves out" Harry said but Y/n was staring right into the dog's eyes
"Does it seem..bit quiet to you?" Harry asked and Y/n looked up, she wanted to tell everyone but no voice was coming out of her throat.
"The Harp..It stopped playing " Hermione said looking back at the harp and as she said.. A white saliva dropped on Ron's shoulder
"Ugh!!!!! yuck!!" Ron said disgust while touching it with his hands
"Why would you touch it?" Y/n finally said "Look up" She said and all of them looked upwards to see three-headed dog glaring at them.
"Jump!!!" Harry said jumping. Hermione followed him. A fluffy started barking
"GO RON!!!!" Y/n yelled when Fluffy broke the door. When Ron jumped Y/n followed him right away.
Ron screamed and they fell on a soft -cushion like- ground and Ron was happy with that
"Woah...Lucky this plant thing's here, really" Ron grinned Hermione looked at Y/n to confirm that it's what she thinks it is..and Y/n nodded and then the plant's roots started to grip the arms and legs.
"Stop Moving, Both of you..This is Devil's Snare" Hermione said staying completely still
"You have to relax. If you don't, it'll only kill you faster" Y/n said taking a deep breath to calm down
"Kill us faster? Oh now I can relax" Ron said trying his best to get out but the snare was gripping him tighter. Hermione smiled at him sarcastically. And the snares drowned her inside
"Hermione!!!" Ron and Harry yelled in unison
"Believe us. and stop moving" Y/n said while letting the snare drown her as well
"Y/n No!!" Harry and Ron yelled, Y/n fell on fell ground and Hermione gave her a hand to get up
"Now what are we gonna do?" Ron yelled
"Just Relax" Hermione and Y/n yelled in Unison
"Where are you two?" Harry asked loudly
"Do what we say! Trust us!" Hermione yelled back
"Do it!! It's fun" Y/n said trying to sound encouraging and then Harry fell with a THUD. Y/n gave help him get up
"Are you okay?" She asked him
"Yeah I'm fine" Harry replied and they stood beside Hermione
"He's no relaxing, is he?" Hermione said listening to Ron's screaming
"Apparently Not" "Definitely not" Harry and Y/n said in Unison
"We've gotta do something!" Hermione exclaimed
"What?" Harry asked
"I remember reading something in Herbology!!!!" Hermione said trying her best to remember
"Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare. It's deadly fun---" Hermione said
"But will sulk in the sun!!!" Y/n continued remembering the chapter
"That's it! Devil's snare hates sunlight!!" Hermione explained Harry and Y/n pulled out her wand
"Lumus Solem!" Y/n said pointing her wand upwards and within a second, a bright light covered the room by the end of her wand. Shrieks covered the room and Ron fell on the ground. They bent down to him
"Ron, You okay?" Harry asked him
"Yeah, Okay" Ron replied standing up
"Lucky we didn't panic" He said looking up at the Snares
"Lucky Hermione and Y/n pays attention in Herbology" Harry replied to him and they heard a flutterring noise
"What is that?" Hermione asked
"I don't know" Harry replied
"Sounds like wings" Y/n said walking forwards. They opened the door and saw something flying inside the room
"Curious...I've never seen birds like this" Hermione said looking at them
"They're not birds" Harry said
"They're keys" Y/n continued
"And I bet one of them fits that door" Harry said looking at the door and stood infront of two brooms
'why are there two brooms instead of one here?' Y/n thought not getting any ideas why it was there
"What's this all about???" Hermione asked
"I don't know" Harry replied and Y/n stayed quiet. Ron pulled out his wand and went to open the door, Hermione followed him leaving Y/n and Harry alone
"Strange" Harry whispered and Y/n nodded
"Alohomora" Ron chanted by the door but nothing happened
"Well, it was worth a try" Ron said
"Ugh...What are we going to do?? There must be a thousands keys" Hermione groaned
"we want a big, old-fashioned one. probably rusty and handy" Ron told them. Harry and Y/n looked up and saw it together
"There! I see it" Harry smiled
"The one with the broken wing, right?" Y/n asked him and He nodded
"What's wrong Harry?" Hermione asked him
"Its too simple" Harry replied
"Oh go on, both of you!!!If Snape can catch that on old broomstick, you two can" Ron encouraged them
"Why me?" Y/n asked him, she definitely was hesitant
"Because you are the youngest Chaser in the whole century!!! same goes for you Harry, You too are a youngest Seeker Quidditch ever had!!" Ron impassioned them
"We'll do it....right?" Harry asked Y/n and she nodded taking a deep breath
"We'll grab the brooms on count.. Okay?" Y/n said and Harry nodded
"3......2......1!" as counted Y/n, they grabbed it at the same time the flying keys started attacking them. they mounted the brooms quickly
"I'll distract them, you go get the key!" Y/n yelled and parted away from Harry making most of the keys following her
Harry flew to get the Key with broken wing while Y/n was flying away from the keys that was scratching her face and arms making blood drops come out
"Get it fast, Harry!!!!!! ,Y/n is getting hurt!!" Ron and Hermione yelled at him seeing Y/n get hurt badly
As Harry heard Y/n was getting hurt, he dived and caught the key
"Catch the key!!" Harry yelled passing the key to Hermione, She caught it and went to open the door right away.
Harry flew towards Y/n catching attention of half of flying-keys. Hermione opened the door, she yelled "Get In!!!!!!"
Taking the sign, Harry and Y/n flew to the door. Harry let Y/n go first and then he went in. Hermione and Ron closed the door quickly. They could hear the keys bumping in the door.
"Are you hurt?" Harry asked Y/n gasping for air
"Yeah.... will get better" She Replied wiping the blood off her cheek with end of her sleeves
"Let's keep going" Y/n said and they nodded
