I’m so sorry this has taken so long, I’ve been very busy and working on
my own story so I apologize for the amount of time it’s take for me to get this
out. Thank you so much to those of you
who have taken the time to review, I greatly appreciate it. So without further delay here’s the next
installment.
Chapter 6
“I over heard Weasley talking with that half giant about the dog.”
Blaise said, relaxing at their table in the Great Hall.
It
was nearing the end of the school year and they were determined to find out
what was past that dog, “Do tell.” Draco moved his bishop, was playing chess
with Harry.
Harry
gazed at the board for a moment before taking the bishop with a rook,
“Apparently it goes to sleep with a bit of music.” He turned the page of the
book he was reading.
“Tonight.” Harry stated as Draco smirked, moving his queen,
“Git.”
“Check
mate.” He smiled, “And what about tonight?”
“Tonight
we’re going to get past that dog.” He stared at the bored, trying to figure out
how it happened.
“Getting
there without being detected will be fun and how will we get music?” He looked
at Blaise.
“I
play.” Harry stated, “Music won’t be a problem.
We have to figure out how to get there without being seen.”
“Well,
let’s get to class, we can figure it out tonight before we head out so think
about it.” Draco said, getting to his feet and picking up his bag.
The
three boys headed out, making their way to potions, “Mr. Potter, I need to
speak with you after class.” Snape stated, walking past them as they took their
seats.
Harry
nodded, wondering what he needed to speak with him about. Class went by quickly, Harry and Draco making
their potion perfectly. Once everyone
had filed out he moved to Snape’s desk, “Yes professor?”
“This
was left for you last night.” He handed him a package.
He
scowled at it, “Thank you sir. Do you
know who left it?” He shook his head and Harry looked at the little card, “From
my father?” He raised an eyebrow, “Well, thank you again sir.” He headed out of
the classroom; Draco and Blaise were waiting for him.
“So
what did he want?” Draco questioned as they headed toward the main door,
planning on spending some time in the courtyard.
“To
give me a package that apparently was delivered for me. Odd, don’t you think? I’ll see what’s in it when we go to get ready
for tonight.” He sat under a tree, relaxing.
The
other two boys sat nearby, the three of them talking comfortably. The afternoon passed quickly and they soon
found themselves back in their dorm, getting ready for their trip past the
dog. The package turned out to be an
invisibility cloak, giving them a way to their destination. Harry had retrieved his flute; it had been a
gift from Alexander on his fifth birthday.
The two vampires had always demanded he learn the fine arts as well as
reading and writing so he had chosen to learn the flute. Tucking the wooden instrument into his pocket
with his wand he picked up the cloak and they were ready to go.
“Ok,
Draco, you get to hold the cloak over us on the way there and are in charge of
hiding it when we arrive.” He looked at Blaise, “Blaise, you snag the trap door
after I put the mutt to sleep.” When they nodded he smiled and they set out.
Getting
there didn’t turn out to be too much of a problem; it wasn’t hard for them with
the help of the cloak to sneak there and for Blaise to unlock the door. Harry had his flute out and was playing
softly when the door opened, Draco hiding the cloak quickly. A growl sounded around them then a soft whine
as it curled up and fell asleep at the sound of Harry’s tune. The three boys worked quickly, Blaise pulling
open the trap door while Harry continued to play; easily they slid inside, falling
into something not quite hard but not quite soft. He tucked his flute away quickly, didn’t want
it to break, before attempting to roll off whatever it was they landed on. Vines captured his legs, pulling him back.
“What
in the world?” He questioned, the plant lashing itself around him.
“Don’t
move.” Blaise ordered as the other two struggled to get free. Immediately they stilled, “The more you
struggle the faster it takes you.”
Draco
growled, “And what is ‘it’?”
“Devil’s Snare.” Came the reply. He closed his eyes, looking thoughtful,
“Sunlight, we need sunlight.”
Draco
pulled out his wand, shouting a spell at the plant. Immediately it released them with a sound
that was near a screech. They scrambled
off the writhing plant, regrouping by the door, “Looks like we get to enjoy
going through traps.” They moved down a corridor toward the next room.
The
sound of a great many wings could be heard as they approached. The room was filled with the beating of tiny
winged keys and some of the school’s brooms were nearby, “Blaise, check the
door.” Draco ordered, looking up at the keys.
“It’s
locked and spells won’t work.” He stated from the other side of the room.
“Looks
like we get to fly then but which key?” Harry asked. He looked at the keys, spotting one that was
different then the others, “That one.” He pointed, grabbing a broom, his eyes
not leaving the key with a bent wing.
Easily
he mounted, pushing off the ground and into the mass of keys. The moment he was among them they began their
attack, trying to prevent him from getting to that single key. He flattened himself close to the broom,
shooting through the room, his hand out stretched to catch it.
“Get
ready!” He shouted down at them, the keys chasing him, one cutting through his
cheek.
Draco
and Blaise put themselves by the door, ready to take the key from him when he
caught it. He gave a shout of victory,
grabbing it and moving towards them.
Draco caught it, quickly unlocking the door so they could get through,
the keys pounding into the wood as it closed behind them. Harry panted for breath, abandoning the broom
to the side of the room.
“Draco,
it looks like you get to put your skills to the test.” Blaise said, looking around the room they had just entered.
They
took places on the board and the game began.
It didn’t take long for Draco to maneuver the pieces into check mate and
the three boys continued on, encountering their final trial, a riddle and
potions. Harry picked up the potion to
move forward and looked at it before looking at his friends.
“You
go back, I’ll go forward, there’s only enough here for one of us.”
Draco
scowled, “You sure you’ll be alright going alone?”
Blaise
grabbed the blonde’s arm, “He’ll be fine, vampire in training, remember?”
Harry
smirked, downing the potion and stepping through the magical fire that blocked
their path. A mirror was centered in the
middle of the floor facing the entrance, “This must be what Dumbledore left.”
He said softly, Quirrell was in front of it, looking
rather frustrated. He stepped down the
stairs slowly, proudly, “Hello Professor.” He said as he moved towards
him. Although the traps had left him a
little worse for wear he carried himself proudly when faced with his adversary.
Quirrell whirled to face him, “Potter.” His stutter was
gone.
“How good of you to drop the façade of the stuttering professor.”
He looked over his shoulder at the mirror, “What is it that you’re doing here?”
Another
voice sounded softly, seeming to come from the back of Quirrell’s
head, “Use the boy.”
Harry
raised an eyebrow, “Use me for what? To look in some mirror?” He stepped past Quirrell
before he could lay a hand on him to force him to look into it. He saw himself, “It’s just a mirror.” He
stated before his image put something into his pocket and winked at him.
“What
do you see?” That other voice hissed.
He
raised an eyebrow, “Myself. What else should I see?” He turned around.
The
voice spoke again, “He has the stone.”
Harry
stepped back quickly as Quirrell was upon him. He struggled, reaching up to grab the vial of
blood around his neck so he could use it, when Quirrell
pulled back with a cry of pain. He
realized what happened; it hurt Quirrell to touch
him. He pressed his hands against his
face, pushing him away, the smell of burning flesh hitting his nostrils. Quirrell screamed
but Harry only jerked away when he was laying still and quiet on the
floor. He panted for breath, looking
down at the burned flesh of his former teacher.
As he stood he felt something go through him and blackness consume
him. He groaned, opening his eyes to a
room of white, the infirmary.
“You’re
awake.” Dumbledore was beside him, a smile on his face and a twinkle in his
eye.
He
closed his eyes for a moment, “What happened?”
“Your
friends went to Professor Snape who then came to me. We found you by the mirror unconscious.”
“Professor
Quirrell, he attacked me.” He rubbed his temples.
He
nodded, “He was after the Sorcerer’s Stone.” He paused, “Your friends have been
visiting you daily.”
“How
long was I unconscious?”
“Three
days.” He smiled, “I need to be getting back, get plenty of rest.”
He
nodded as the headmaster left. He
sighed, looking at the candies his friends had left him, a small stack of notes
sat beside a package of every flavor beans.
A chuckle escaped his lips as he looked at the top page. Granger had been in to check on him, which
surprised him, and had left him detailed notes on what he had missed.
“I
wonder what’s going through her mind.” He had been raised as a pureblood,
believed them to be superior, but he understood the need for new blood lest
they die out, and he had to admit that Granger was a force to be reckoned
with. I jumped as I heard the sound of
something crashing to the ground. My
head jerked towards the door to see Doriel standing there with Madam Pomfrey. She had
dropped whatever had been in her hands when she saw him, “Papa!”
Doriel
smiled, “Well Madam Pomfrey, would you be so kind as to let me past so that I might see my son?” He
questioned, his voice dripping with sweetness.
She
didn’t move, “I will not allow a vampire into my infirmary, Mr. Lior.”
His
smile grew, “So you do remember me.”
“Of
course I do, you were such a sweet boy.” She lowered her voice so Harry
couldn’t hear, “I would let you in but there are rules that need to be
followed.”
“Oh
I fully understand but I will be getting in there to see him.” He caught her
eyes and she fell against him. Gently he
put her in her office before walking over to Harry, “She’s such a nice woman, I
wish I hadn’t of had to do that.” He sat down next to him, “So what did you do
to get yourself here? Anything
broken?”
“Nothing
broken, was just unconscious. See, I went into the third floor corridor,
which we weren’t supposed to, because someone was after the sorcerer’s stone
that was being kept there. Well, I
stopped the professor from getting the stone but I don’t remember much after
that.”
He
shook his head, “I’m impressed but you should have left it to the adults. You’re not immortal you know and I don’t want
anything to happen to you.”
“I
know, I know, but I need some adventure and excitement.” He smirked, “Besides,
it was interesting.”
“One
day your fun will get you seriously hurt.” He scolded, “And when that happens
I’m going to be able to tell you, I told you so.”
“And
I’ll pout and have to admit you were right.”
He
chuckled, “Exactly.” He looked towards the door, “She’ll be waking up soon so I
should be going. I will see you soon.”
He hugged him tight, “Get some rest.” He got to his feet, kissing his forehead,
and walked out.
“Love
you papa.”
He
looked over his shoulder, “Love you too Aurel.”
He
flopped back in bed, looking up at the ceiling, “Not much longer and I’ll be
home.” He smiled, “Should be fun.”
