Part 3:

Snape saw the boy's look on his face as he looked into the mirror and he quickly understood what he had found, because in the mirror stood Harry Potter with a family. It was not James and Lilly Potter, you couldn't see the faces of the family in the mirror except for Harry's face.

Harry couldn't look away from the mirror, he understood that the mirror showed you what you desired the most and he whishes for a family that loves him and cares for him. It wouldn't necessarily be his biological family but just people that loved and cared for him, it didn't matter to him.

Professor Snape saw a boy that desired a family more than he desired the fame and money he got for killing someone he couldn't rember, he was just a baby of one at that time.

He couldn't tell anyone about this because who would believe an 11 year old boy, and he would for sure not tell Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger for they aren't truly his friends and he knew that.

*****

Snape saw the Granger girl with a very large and thick book, reading the information of Nicholas Flamel's Sorcer's Stone. The information said that the stone could turn anything into gold and held the key to the Elixir of Life. Harry was there against his will, he didn't want to be here in the first place. He would rather be in his room studying or just relaxing, he needed his sleep after all he couldn't sleep very much at his aunts house.

Hermione and Ronald dragged Harry with them to tell Hagrid about the stone, he told them only himself and Dumbledore knew how to get past Fluffy. Hagrid took out an egg he had in a couldron over the fire that he had won in a game, they didn't know which game he won the egg in. When the egg hatched a little dragon came out and Hagrid named him Norbert. Snape saw the Face of his godson in the window that was probably why they got detention.

He saw how Potter and his friends walked back to their dorms when professor McGonagall came out followed by his godson, Draco Malfoy. Professor McGonagall took 150 points from Gryffindor and gave all 4 of the students detention. Harry was struggling to walk still not all of his wounds had healed, but he hid it so well no one noticed that he was hurt.

*****

The Hogwarts caretaker Filch escorted them to Hagrid's hut because they were serving detention with him. Hagrid told them that Norbert was gone and that Dumbledore had sent him to ROMANIA. Harry was sad he felt he connected to the Dragon, they were in the same family as snakes.

Hagrid led them into the Dark Forest where they found Unicorn blood. They were looking for the injured Unicorn. Hagrid split the group up, he took Weasley and Granger, while Potter was paired up with Draco and Fang went with them because Draco insisted they get him. Harry had nothing against Draco and followed Him with out saying a word. Draco himself softly spoke to Potter but only got hmm's a reply.

While the 2 boys were walking they heard a strange noise, but they searched further for the injured animal. Fang growled suddenly and when Potter looked up, he saw a hooded figure feasting on an injured Unicorn and his scar hurt, it was burning. Draco and Fang ran away to get help, while Potter stood grabbing his scar because it pained him. 

The figure almost slithered to him and backed him up into the huge tree roots in the Dark Forest, he could hear hissing as if the figure was trying to talk to him, suddenly something jumped over Potter and attacked the figure. The centaur ran off the creature. He told the boy that it was a crime to slay such a pure creature and that the Unicorns blood kept the dead alive but at a prise, when the blood touched that creatures mouth he began living a half life, a cursed life. He also told him that it wasn't safe for the boy to be there and that he must leave. He told them that the Creature was Voldemort and that he was after the stone, well he more hinted at it until Potter found the answers.

Hagrid arrived with Draco and the rest of the children and greeted the Centaur that he called Firenze. Firenze told Potter that he was safe now and whished him luck before he walked away. Then the 'Golden Trio' as Hermione and Ronald named their group thought Snape wanted the Elixer of Live for Voldemort so that he can come back stronger.

Harry didn't believe it the Professor was clever, why would he try to bring back a murder, or did he have a reason to want to bring back Voldemort? The man could be a different person then they believe him to be.

They wrote their year of the end exams and the Granger girl found it enjoyable while Weasley thought it was dreadful. While the other two was arguing Potter was rubbing his scar because it was burning. They talked to Hagrid and asked him about the hooded person he got the egg from and he told them that the person was interested in Fluffy. They ran to Professor McGonagall to tell her about what they thought but she didn't believe them.  Poor Harry was dragged all the way, it didn't look if it mattered what he thought.

They thought that he was after the stone thought Snape, but they were wrong all along. He didn't care about the stone because Strickly Tom didn't need it to survive.

To make matters worse Dumbledore was not at Hogwarts.That night the Golden Trio snuck out of Gryffindor Tower, but Neville was awake and Granger stupifyd him.

They snuck to the third floor under Potter's invisibility cloak, he had little choice - Granger gave him an order, where Granger used 'Alohomora' on the door. The door swung open and the noise woke up Fluffy, Harry sang a beautiful song. (The boy had a beautiful and very sweet voice, Snape had to admit.) Cerberus went back to sleep. They opened the trap door to land on some kind of plant, it must of hurt, the plants was alive, just like them they probably had feelings as well. Harry felt bad for the plant and hummed a lullaby to it softly and the plant let them go without a fight.

The next obsical was a large Wizard Chessboard, with a tired sigh Harry let Ronald order him around. He didn't want to be here, he wanted to be snuggled under his very warm blankets sleeping. Ronald suddenly 'sacrificed himself' to let Harry go on.

He came upon a locked door, 'alohomora' didn't work and then Potter saw the flying keys. He used the spell 'accio' and all the keys came flying straight for him. He grabbed the key that would open the door and ducked, all the other keys was stuck in the door.

The next task there was potions, he drank the right potion and walked through the ring of flames into a room with the mirror of Erised. Where Proffesor Quirrell stood, his scar burned. Quirrell couldn't get the stone and it made him angry.

Snape saw how Voldemort came out and asked the boy if he wanted to join him, they would be the most powerful Wizards together, when the boy refused, Voldemort got angry and demanded Quirrell use the boy. He saw Potter's reflection put the stone into his pocket and then Potter told the Dark Lord he saw a happy family.

From then on everything went like a blur, Quirrell attacked the boy, he saw how Potter threw out his hands to protect himself and accidentally touch Quirrell. The next thing he knew Quirrell was sizzling, smoke came from him and he screamed. Quirrell burst into ash and Potter fainted, but not before he hid the stone, he could always use the stone for another time.

Potter woke up in the Medi-wing where he had many gift cards and sweets, but also Dumbledore was there, he wanted to know where the stone was, but Harry said he didn't know he couldn't rember.

His first year had ended and he went back to the Dursleys. Snape wondered how Potter could stand the pain and also how the boy hid his pain and bruises from everyone and how no one noticed not even him, after all he went through the same thing.
