The sorcerer's stone #2

Days passed and Ashlynn kept the sorcerer's stone in her bag which had a sticking charm and some other sharm that stopped anyone from touching it. And finally, It was the day for the exams and Ashlynn was confident. She had already finished 6th year potions, 4th year transfigurations and 5th year charms. She had also been memorizing her textbooks through and through.

In charms, Ashlynn made the pineapple tapdance. In transfiguration, she turned a mouse into a snuff box. Points were given for how pretty it was. Ashlynn's snuff box was silver with green gems on each corner. A large snake was drawn on the top. Harry and Ron had laughed at her for her so-called house pride or something. But she smirked when Ronald turned his into a snuff box that had fur all over it with whiskers.

In potions, she made the forgetfulness potion perfectly. Her other subjects including history of magic and defense against the dark arts were perfectly done as well.

That night came. Tonight, Quirrell was going. And she was sure that the Golden trio would follow. She put the disillusionment on herself once more and snuck out. She stood a few feet away from the door and noticed the dogs barking. Someone had gone in. Was it Quirrell or was it he stupid brother? Suddenly she saw the golden trio. They took off a cloak which looked like an invisibility cloak. They were about to go in and Ashlynn took off her charm and stopped them.

"What are you doing here Potter?"

The three were surprised and looked at her.

"Trying to save the world from Snape." Harry sneered.

"Professor Snape Harry." Hermione corrected him.

"You shouldn't go in if you don't want to get killed, you know…"

"You know nothing! Stay out of our business." ROn shouted at her.

"Well.. If anyone asks, I tried to stop you from killing yourselves for nothing…"

"You have no idea what we-" Harry started

"SHHHH! I know more than you three. I know about the stone, and the person trying to get it." Ashlynn said.

"How?!" Hermione looked shocked.

"Simple. I've got a brain. Unlike the two of you…"

Harry tried to hex her when Hermione stopped him.

"Harry!!! Stop! We have to save Hogwarts."

Harry glared at Ashlynn while Ron was still processing what Ashlynn ahd said.

"You guys really shouldn't go in. Besides, there's no use. Just tell the professors."

"But the stone!"

"The stone is not in there! Don't you get it? I mean I didn't expect the other two but really Granger? I thought you were the brain in this group."

Hermione flushed. "But where is it then?"

"Somewhere safe."

"But why are you helping us anyways? You hate me don't you?" Harry asked.

" No Harry. Of course I don't hate you."

The three gave her a questioning look.

" I don't hate Harry. I despise him. No offense. I really do want to kill you. BUT I don't need you getting killed by your stupidity. Where's the fun in that?"

Ashlynn laughed. And the three stared at her dumbfounded.

"Shut up!" Harry said." You are the worst! You work for him don't you? For Snape! You want to kill me yourself and are trying to kill the boy who lived! You're lying and I know it! You're an evil snake that's what you are. And the muggle home is where you belong!" With that, he ran toward the door.

"We don't believe you either!!!!" The other two ran towards the door.

'Great! Just great.' Ashlynn thought to herself and she shouted towards them. "For the record, I tried to stop you! Go in and get yourselves killed. My pleasure! BTW, I'm not helping you whatsoever!"

Ashlynn walked to her room.SHe was quite angry. Yes. SHe might have been a little… mean but the last words Harry Potter had said were touchy. He didn't know anything about her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Hogwarts was a disaster. Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger had disappeared along with professor Snape. The professors were panicking and they searched everywhere including the third floor but found nothing. None. Not even the sorcerer's stone.

Dumbledore was still out and they had no power to open the gates to the aurors. All classes were canceled and students were to stay in dorms.

Ashlynn stayed in the common room when professor Snape came in.

"Ms. Potter, will you please follow me?"

Ashlynn slowly stood up, ignoring strange looks from the others.

They went to an empty classroom. And just before she entered, she cast a spell on the floor and made red paint on the door. Professor Snape didn't seem to notice and he locked the door and put some privacy charms all around.

"What do you want, professor Quirrell…"

"Professor Snape" turned into Quirrell. He smiled.

"Aren't you a smart girl. Worthy of a Sltherin. However I must ask you to miss it. Where is THE STONE?!"

"I don't know what you are talking about sir."

He snarled.

"I know you have oculomancy skills. But your brother and his friends don't seem to… I know very well that you have the stone."

"What is it in for me?"

Quirrell smirked as if expecting that answer.

He swirled his wand and the Golden trio were suddenly there. Ronald was unconscious, Hermione and Harry were tied up with thick ropes that moved like snakes. They were gagged and were trying their best to get free. He took off his turban and she saw the ugliest face ever. It was Voldemort.

"You don't want your brother killed. Do you girl?"

Ashlynn rolled her eyes.

"If you have legilimency powers then you should already know that we aren't that close…" She scoffed. "Kill him if you want. Don't really care."

Ashlynn didn't want her brother killed. Not really. She didn't want anyone to be killed. She was just scared. SHe really was. She tried to hide these emotions. She built a wall in her mind. Harder and harder.

"No Miss… You Do care. I see that. You might hate him but not enough but not enough to kill him. That's why you are weak Ashlynn. Hand me the stone and I will teach you power. Power that will give you revenge. Don't you want revenge on those muggles? To your family? To the bullies?"

"I….I…." Ashlynn couldn't say a thing. He was right. She wanted revenge. She had always wanted revenge. But she didn't need his help.

"You bitch! You are a snake, that's what! All the SLytherins are death eaters! I knew it! You are evil!!! You F-" Harry had somehow gotten free from the gags. Quirrell was quick to put the silencing charm on him.

Ashlynn exploded. She was here because of his stupidity! She was trying her best not to get him killed! And he was acting like a jerk.

Ahslynn walked up to him. Quirrll tensed and raised his wand but Ashlynn just whispered to Harry.

"Idiot! Stay quiet or else. I'm trying to earn time by talking to the moran and it's hard as it is. And since a professor is probably on his way, close your eyes and don't make me kill you before Quirrell!!!" She hissed at him.

Harry for once listened to her and closed his eyes.

"So voldemort, why do you even want this stone thing?"

"I want to get my own body. The body I lost because of your brother…"

Ashlynn tensed. As Voldemort glared at Harry. If looks could kill, he would die right there on the spot. She should change the subject. But she was very scared. Voldemort might kill any second. She was barely keeping her mind closed from Voldemort. She had just learned that she had that power today. All the training she had done was just hiding her emotions. And it was very hard. She looked away from Voldemort's red eyes. She hoped the professors would see the red paint on the door and come rescue them. She also hoped that Voldemort would not notice her bag that kept the stone.

Voldemort spoke once more.

"Give me the stone and join me Ashlynn."

"Why? Why do you want me to join you?"

"You are destined to join me Ashlynn Evans Potter. Perhaps not today… No…But one day, you shall…"

Ashlynn couldn't understand. What was he talking about? She was destined?

Voldemort/QUirrell started to attack. He shot spell after spell after her. Ashlynn dogged and blocked. She shot back but Quirrell was still stronger. She used the Accio charm on the desk behind QUirrell and knocked him to the floor but Quirrell sent a curse towards the tied up trio. Ashlynn saved them with a protego charm. But the real target was Ashlynn and before she could react, Quirrell sent a fire spell towards her. She was too late and her arm got hit. She winced. It hurt a lot like the time when Vermon had hit her for burning the eggs with a burning frying pan. Her sleeve got burnt and she could see that her arm was red and bleeding.

Suddenly there was a bang and the door collapsed. Behind it were the professors led by professor Dumbledore. Suddenly, Quirrell screamed and Voldemort's soul(?) came out of his body and ran straight at Ashlynn. DUmbledor blocked it and Voldemort flew away and Quirrell fell to the floor. DEAD… The professors rushed in and seconds later, they were at the infirmary.
