Stone in the mirror.

Dumbledore is confused. If only Harry Potter is not a Hufflepuff, he might be suspicious of Harry. Harry Potter is charming, like young Tom Riddle. He is smart and all of his teacher like him, including Severus Snape, who can't say anything bad about Harry, because the boy did study hard and his performance in class is not behind Hermione Granger, the Gryffindor golden girl, who's he's friend with.

But, Harry is friends with everyone, from a muggleborn like Granger to Death Eater son like Nott and Malfoy. The Malfoy boy even try to conceal bullying from his fellow Slytherin in order to stay friends with Harry.

Dumbledore has give Harry Potter his new invisibility cloak, but the boy has put aside his cloak and focus himself on enjoying his holiday. He did not try the cloak, nor he use it to wandering around. Headmaster Dumbledore has been waiting for Harry in vain. He even put some mild spell on the cloak, so that Harry would come and seek the Mirror of Erised.

Dumbledore put the infamous Philosopher stone that he got from his friend, Nicholas Flamel inside the Mirror. He is planning to teach Harry how to fetch the stone from inside the Mirror.

But, Harry Potter never come.

When news of Black and Pettigrew come to Hogwarts, the other students has just arrived back from their holiday.

Harry feigned ignorance of the news. Everyone try to express their sympathy for Harry. To think the ministry put the wrong man in Azkaban for years. What an awesome law. Nobody is happy. But, Minister Fudge put the wrong in the previous minister, and even managed to drag down other people with him.

Headmaster Dumbledore has not been seen in Hogwarts for days. The Headmaster is busy explaining himself to the magical world about his involvement in Black case. Harry use the opportunity to go see the Mirror of Erised. It is located in an unused classroom in the 3rd corridor near where Fluffy, Hagrid's Cerberus is.

Harry has been wondering about what will he see in the Mirror. When he put himself in front of the Mirror, it reflected himself, clearly. He tilted his head sideways, his reflection just blinked at him, then put his hand inside his trousers pocket. The stone is in his hand, in the Mirror, his reflection put the stone back at Harry and he felt the stone in his pocket.

Harry take another stone from his breast pocket, he locked eyes with his reflection in the mirror, then drop the stone back in his pocket. The weight of the stone is missing in his pocket.

Done.

Iris and Harry walk down a little pathway that is headed for an old stone building. It's night time, so that people won't recognized that there is 2 kids wandering around in the dark.

They stop outside the buliding. The old house look abandoned. Harry knocked the door firmly. Silence follow the knock.

Not long after, the door creaked open. A young man around 30 something show up, "Yes?" he asked, looking surprise to see 2 kids on his front door.

"We're looking for your master." Iris said.

The man look up and down on Harry and Iris and ask again, "Did you get lost?"

"We're looking for Voldemort." Harry said, making the man freeze.

He laugh awkwardly, "I don't understand."

"He will." Harry nodded at the other man behind the first man.

"Potter and Swan." the man said, "What a surprise."

"You look better, Professor." Iris wave cheerily at Quirell that stand behind the door, hiding in the dark.

"Come, the Master want to see you." Quirell beckoned the kids.

Harry and Iris walked inside the house. The door closed behind them.
