Disclaimer:� I hope that the
previous 3 chapters have gotten through to you, if
they haven�t then you should know that I own nothing resembling Harry Potter. �I just own Doriel and Alexander.

Thank you so much those of you who have taken the time to review. �I love reading what you think; it�s one of the
highlights of my day. �So please, tell me
what you think about this part.� I�ve
been trying to get these chapters out as quick as I can for you. �So without further ado, here�s the next
chapter.

Chapter 4

�� Break in at Gringotts.� Harry
scowled at the headline in the Daily Prophet.�
This was definitely new.�
Apparently Vault 713 had been broken into; nothing was stolen, because the
vault had been cleared out the previous day.�
He was skimming the rest of the paper, not finding anything else
interesting, when the headmaster approached.

�� Harry,
I would like to speak with you for a moment.� He smiled at him kindly.

�� Harry
raised an eyebrow and got to his feet, �Alright sir.� He replied, following him
out of the Great Hall.

�� How
do you like school so far?� He questioned, �I heard about what you and Mr.
Malfoy did, impressive.�

�� I�m
enjoying myself.� He smiled slightly, �What is it that you would like to speak
with me about sir?�

�� He
didn�t answer for a moment, �How are the Dursleys treating you?�

�� Harry
blinked, �The Dursleys?� He questioned, �I�m afraid I don�t know who you�re
talking about.�

�� His
words made the headmaster stop in his tracks, �Haven�t you been living with the
Dursleys?�

�� No
sir, I�ve been living with my father, Doriel.�

�� Harry
saw him swallow, �Doriel Lior?�

�� Yes,
that�s my father.� He paused, �Excuse me sir, is there
something wrong?�

�� No,
no, nothing at all.� He swallowed again, �Thank you for speaking with me
Harry.�

�� He
smiled, �Of course.� I�ll see you again.�
He waved, walking back the way they came, heading to class.� He rolled his eyes, �Dursleys?� They sound like Muggles.� He stated, heading
to Charms.� He took a seat next to Draco,
�There was a break-in at Gringotts, do you think it might have something to do with what�s in
the third floor corridor?� He asked softly, �Apparently the vault had been
cleared out the day before.�

�� Draco
looked thoughtful, �Maybe, we should see if we can find out what�s there.�

�� Blaise
was on the other side of Draco, �We can sneak up there tonight and if we get
caught we�ll just say we got lost.�

�� Harry
smiled, nodding as the lesson began.� By
the end of the day the three boys had decided on a plan of attack and headed
towards the third floor corridor, �It�s locked.� Harry stated, trying the
handle once more.

�� Blaise
sighed, �Step back.� He pulled out his wand, pointing it at the lock, �Alohomora.� There was a click as the lock disengaged.

�� Remind
me to make you teach me that.� Harry said, opening the door.

�� A
cry of surprise escaped his lips as he came face to face with a three headed
dog.� Draco jerked him back, slamming the
door before the snapping jaws could find purchase.� Immediately they turned and ran back the way
they had come, not wanting to risk their skin anymore than they already had.

�� I
swear I just saw my life flash before my eyes.� Harry panted, leaning against a
wall once they were suitably far away.

�� Who
keeps a Cerberus in a school of all places?� Draco asked, trying to catch his
breath.

�� Dumbledore obviously.� Blaise replied.

�� I
don�t know about you but I�m going to try to find out where that thing came
from and how we can get past it.� Harry said, determined.

�� Draco
rolled his eyes, �Are you sure you shouldn�t be in Gryffindor?� He teased.

�� Harry
glared at him, punching his arm.� The
blonde rubbed where he hit, �Serves you right.� Harry sneered, �Let�s get some
dinner before trying to dig up some more information.�

�� Little
did they know but the further information they sought would come from one
Ronald Bilius Weasley.� The three were on their way down to dinner
when they heard him talking to someone quietly, �I went out to see Hagrid
earlier, when I asked him about the third floor
corridor he said that it was between Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel.�

�� So
that dog is guarding something having to do with what was taken from the vault.�
The other voice was female and they realized who it was, Granger, �We should go
to the library and find out what we can about Nicolas Flamel,
I swear I�ve heard that name before.�

�� Fluffy.�
Weasley said.

�� What?�
She asked.

�� The
dog�s name is Fluffy.�

�� The
three Slytherin looked between each other as she spoke, �Are you serious?�

�� They
didn�t wait for an answer, choosing that moment to interrupt them, �What�s this
about a dog named Fluffy?� Harry questioned.

�� None
of your business Potter.� Weasley sneered.

�� He
was silent for a moment, �You know something Weasley?� You�re not too bright.� At least Granger is smart enough to keep her
mouth shut and she doesn�t know what you do.�
I think you�re rather foolish, provoking people who probably know more
spells then you do.� After all, by your
manners you weren�t raised in a proper home.�

�� Weasley�s
hands clenched in anger, �Ron, calm down, let�s go.� Granger said, tugging on
his arm, �It�s not worth it.�

�� I
can see why you�re in Ravenclaw Granger.� Blaise said.

�� Draco
sneered, �For a mudblood you�re actually intelligent.�

�� Take
it back!� The word mudblood inflamed Weasley�s anger and he almost launched
himself at the blonde, Granger barely holding him back.

�� Harry
raised an eyebrow, �As much as I love this verbal bantering I�m hungry.� He
paused, �You know Weasel, when you get flustered you can�t tell the difference
between your hair and your face.� He brushed past him, showing no fear at being
physically accosted even though the red head had shown he was more then willing
to resort to violence when provoked.

�� I
wonder why those two are talking to each other?� They�re not even in the same house.� Blaise
questioned as they continued on their way to the Great Hall.

�� Harry
shrugged, �I have no idea.� What does it
matter anyway?� It�s not like it involves
us.�

�� True
but it�s odd.� Usually people remain
within their own house when it comes to friendships.� Came
the reply.

�� There
could always be some ulterior motive.� Draco interjected, �Perhaps some outside
force had to do with it.�

�� Harry
nodded, �Perhaps.� They walked into the Great Hall and sat down.

�� They
ate a quick meal before heading to the library to do a quick search for Nicolas
Flamel before heading to bed.� An hour later, they still had no leads, and hadn�t
finished their homework.� Harry was
disappointed and vowed to discover this on his own without asking Doriel or
Alexander to give him the answer.

�� It
was Halloween and they were well into their feast when Professor Quirrell came running into the Great Hall, �Troll!� Troll in the Dungeons!� Thought you ought to know.�
The last statement was rather calm compared to the rest and he promptly passed
out.

�� Dumbledore
got to his feet, �Prefects!� Lead your
houses back to you dormitories!� He raised his voice over the din of near panic
that had descended on the Great Hall.

�� Wait,
our dorms are in the dungeons.� Harry hissed.

�� That
old coot�s trying to get us killed!� Draco growled as Harry grabbed his and Blaise�s arm and tugged them off to the side.

�� Harry
scowled, �And what would Quirrell be doing in the
dungeons?� He pulled them back to the Great Hall and peeked inside.� Their teacher was getting to his feet and
brushing off his robes, �He�s fine the sneaky bastard.� They ducked back around
the corner so they could avoid being seen.

�� Do
you think there�s even a troll out at all?� Blaise questioned as they headed
for the 2^nd floor.

�� Draco
shrugged, �He could have been trying to play us for fools but if there wasn�t a
troll he would be suspected.� The sound of porcelain shattering cut him off.� Immediately the three boys ran in the
direction of the sound, intent on finding out the source, �Does that answer
your question Blaise?� Draco asked, a troll was smashing up a girls bathroom.

�� Blaise
looked inside, �It�s Granger.� He looked surprised, �Looks like the mudblood
got herself in trouble.�

�� Acting
quickly, Harry quietly picked up a piece of broken glass and slit his palm,
letting out a hiss of pain.� As the blood
welled up he jerked a small vial from around his neck and poured its contents
over his wound.� Doriel had given Harry a
small vial of his blood for emergencies.�
When mixed with his own he could perform vampiric
spells.

�� The
creature looked over at the three boys, turning its attention to them, �Avorem.� He stated, holding his bleeding hand towards the
troll.

�� A
black light enveloped the creature and it fell to the ground, letting out a
grunt of pain as it fell forward.� Harry
fell to his knees, panting heavily, pulling out a handkerchief from his pocket
and wrapping his hand.� Granger slowly
moved towards them, �Thank you.� She said softly as their professors came
around the corner.

�� Blaise
and Draco were silent; surprised at the spell Harry had performed.� They had heard about vampires having their own
brand of magic but no one had ever seen it, �Is
everyone alright?� Dumbledore questioned, �Why aren�t you in your dorms?�

�� Granger
spoke up, �It�s my fault professor.� I
wasn�t feeling well so didn�t make it to the feast.� If they hadn�t come by when they did I-I would be dead.�

�� Dumbledore
looked at the three Slytherin, waiting for them to speak.� It was Draco who opened his mouth, �We
apologize for not following our prefect sir but Quirrell
distinctly stated that the troll was in the dungeon and that�s where our dorm
is.� We had no desire to run into the
creature but it seems as though we did anyway.�

�� Mr.
Potter, is there something wrong with your hand?� Snape questioned.

�� Harry
looked up at him, �I�m alright sir, just a little cut.� He got to his feet.

�� Severus,
please take the boys to their dorm.� Dumbledore said quietly, his eyes taking
in the room.

�� He
nodded, motioning for them to follow.�
Once they were out of earshot of the headmaster he spoke, �What were you
really doing?�

�� Quirrell didn�t faint sir.� Blaise said.

�� I
know.� He looked at Harry, �What killed the troll?� He asked as they headed
into the dungeons.

�� Harry
looked away from Snape�s probing black eyes, �Don�t worry about it sir.� He
said softly.

�� Snape
stopped, �Mr. Potter, you will tell me what spell you used that requires blood
to cast.�

�� He
glared at his professor, �Something Doriel taught me, it doesn�t matter though
does it?� No one will be able to find out
what it is so leave it be!�

�� Snape�s
eyes narrowed, �20 points to Slytherin for saving a fellow student.� He stated
before leaving them at the wall to their common room.

�� Harry
blinked, he had expected losing points for talking back like that, not gaining
them, �Sanguine angelus.� Draco said, pulling Harry inside, �You look horrible,
go to bed.� He stated, pulling him into their dorm, Blaise following after with
a soft laugh.

�� Yes
mother.� Harry grumbled, pulling on his pajamas and crawling into bed.

�� Draco
cuffed him upside the head, �Sleep.� Harry grumbled again before falling
asleep, his hand still wrapped in the handkerchief.

�� Found
it!� Blaise exclaimed, waking the other two boys.

�� Draco
groaned and rolled over, burying himself further into his blankets while Harry
jerked awake, �Huh?�

�� Flamel made the Philosopher�s Stone.� Blaise looked proud
of himself.

�� You
mean that thing that grants eternal life?� Harry questioned, rubbing his eyes.

�� Exactly.� That must
be what that dog is guarding.�

�� He
flopped back in bed, �We�ll just have to keep an eye on him.�

�� You going home for Yule?� Blaise asked,
Draco covered his head with his pillow.

�� Of
course, I can�t wait.� He stretched, �We need to get Draco up.� He looked over
at the bed next to his.

�� Blaise
smirked, going into the bathroom for a moment and coming back with a bucket of
water.� With a smirk on his face he
dumped it on the sleeping blonde.� Draco
leapt out of bed cursing.

�� I
will get you for that Blaise!� He shouted, pulling out his wand.

�� Blaise
yipped and ran into the bathroom, closing the door and locking it, �Time to get
up Draco.� Harry said, stifling his laughter.

�� The
blonde glared at him, �Don�t you start Aurel.�

�� I
think we need to get ready for class.� He crawled out of bed, pulling on his
uniform.

�� Draco
sighed, getting dressed, �I�ll get you later Blaise, come out and get ready.�

�� I
think I�ll just stay in here until you two are gone.� Came
his muffled reply.

�� Harry
rolled his eyes, �Let�s go Draco.� He pulled him out of the room as he was
brushing his hair.� Together they headed
for the Great Hall to get some breakfast before heading to class.

Next Chapter:� Yule.
