Soon enough, the break had ended and the halls were once again filled with students. Hermione came back and the four of us continued to search for more information on Nicolas Flamel in between classes and Quidditch practice. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV69GhggzJO

Oliver was working us harder than ever - no matter how much it rained, and I came back each night soaked and covered in mud. I wasn't complaining though since I wanted to win as badly as he did. If we won against Hufflepuff than Gryffindor would overtake Slytherin in the house competition for the first time in 7 years! While I wasn't officially a part of any house, I spent so much time in Gryffindor tower that I felt equally invested.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRUSkXsrp5

I could tell that Harry was nervous about the match; especially once we learned that Snape was refereeing, so I tried my hardest to calm him down. Not that it worked. Snape treated Harry so horribly that I couldn't really blame him for reacting the way that he was. I was torn myself. It was becoming hard to decide how I felt about Snape when he treated my best friend so miserably yet was nothing but nice to me. Why he treated me differently compared to anyone else was a mystery to everyone including myself.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknHPXViE23

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and I were sitting at a table in the Gryffindor common room finishing up some homework when the portrait hole suddenly burst open and Neville toppled inside. I looked closer and realized that his legs had been magically glued together; not doubt by Malfoy.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGjUMAlrAI

I jumped up and immediately performed the counter curse as I helped him to our table. Everyone else in the room was laughing but I didn't find it very funny. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipm8VNh3QC

"Malfoy," Neville gasped, confirming my suspicions. "I met him outside the library. He said he'd been looking for someone to practice on."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZODTQkavg

Neville shook his head. "I don't want more trouble," he mumbled. Unfortunately, that was definitely what would happen if he went to any of the teachers. I shook my head. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbv4Uam7tz

"You've got to stand up to him, Neville! Said Ron. "He's used to walking all over people, but that's no reason to lie down in front of him and make it easier."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTxnol7ZlE

"There's no need to tell me I'm not brave enough to be in Gryffindor, Malfoy's already done that," Neville choked out. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoWzybTUzo

"You're worth twelve of Malfoy, Neville. You may not see it yet, but the hat chose to put you in Gryffindor for a reason!" I said giving him a hug. I rummaged around in my robes and found the last of the chocolate frogs I'd gotten for Christmas.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYULMeT2Ga

"Thanks, Kat." He said giving me a watery smile. "Do you want the card? I know you and Harry collect them." He handed me the card and walked up the stairs to the boys' dormitory. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTcT7jlzdJ

"I've found him!" He whispered to us. "I've found Flamel! I told you I'd read the name somewhere before! We read it on the train coming here - listen to this: (insert quote from the wizard card; don't feel like typing it all out again lol)289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWpk4DMR9Y

I gasped, how had I forgotten that! Hermione jumped up and dashed off to the girls' dormitories. The rest of us barely had time to exchange mystified looks before she'd returned with a giant book in her hands.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRkNpl35jn

"The Sorcerer's Stone is a stone that transforms any metal into pure gold and can be used to brew the Elixir of Life which makes the drinker immortal." I explained for their sakes. "That's what the dog must be guarding - Flamel's Sorcerer's Stone!289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVyCx4IwWy

"A stone that makes gold and stops you from ever dying? No wonder Snape's after it! Anyone would want it." Harry said.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT5FcoY4Q1

"I told you, it's not Snape! Chances are, it's Quirrell!" I argued. This started us down the usual disagreement that never ended until we decided to agree to disagree. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkFz3Gp9BE

We finished up the rest of our homework and I packed up my things and headed back to my room thinking about all the things I'd do if I had an infinite amount of gold and never died.
