"ONE OF WIZARD'S MOST rudimentary skills is levitation.. or the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you all have your feathers?" Professor Flitwick asked, looking around the room at the students who mostly looked bored. Hermione shows her feather with a small smile, celeste, lilah and leon were leaning on their arms, they looked bored to most but they were listening intently.

"Good. Now, uh, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing, hmm? The swish and flick. Everyone." He did a waving motion with his wand, the students grabbed their wands and followed his movements. "The Swish and flick." Leon's eyes widened as he hit lilah's head with his wand, he and celeste held back a snicker. "Sorry, i didn't mean—" He rubbed his forehead after lilah hit him back with her wand. Apollo and Harry glanced at each other, not even trying to cover their snickers.

"Good. Oh, and enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go, then." They all did waving motions with their wands, swishing and flicking but their feathers just laid there on the desk, unmoving. No one had success except for celeste and nicholas.

"Woah, hold on, how'd you do that? Are you cheating?" Leon questioned the blonde next to him, poking her floating feather that dropped back down to the desk. Celeste pushed his wand away with a glare, and swished and flicked once more. "Okay. Rude." He muttered to himself and turned back to his own feather.

"Oh! Well done!" Professor flitwick cried, looking at nicholas and celeste who had their feathers floating in the air, "Miss Malfoy and Mr. Graham's done it!"

"Wingardium Leviosar." Ron made a face as he waved his long arms like a windmill. "No, stop, stop, stop. you're going to take someone's eye out. Besides, you're saying it wrong. it's Levi-osa.. not Levio-sar." The girl corrected him, Ron rolled his eyes at her. "You do it, then, if you're so clever. Go on. Go on," Ron snapped.

Hermione gracefully waves her wand, "Wingardium Leviosa." The feather lifts off the desk, the students stare as three feathers rise into the air. "Oh, well done! See here, everyone. Miss granger, Miss Malfoy and Mr. Graham done it! Oh, splendid!" He beams.

Hermione gave ron a 'i told you so' look. Ron leaned against his books again, looking like he was in a bad mood. Leon stared at the feathers that were in the air, "The urge to just..blow it up." He whispered, lilah gave him a look and he shrugged.

"Wingard Leviosa." Seamus swished and flicked, "Well done, dears." Professor flitwick smiled at the three and he nearly fell off his books when seamus creates a small blast, soot covering his face as he stared in front of him in shock.

"I think we're going to need another feather. Over here, Professor." Harry said, looking at seamus's feather that settled down on the desk, leon and apollo snickered quietly, "I need to take notes from seamus."

Later, leon, dean, seamus, harry, ron and apollo cross the courtyard, "It's Levi-osa, not Levio-sar. She's a nightmare, honestly. No wonder she hasnt got any friends." Ron said to them, not noticing hermione behind them. The girl pushed past ron, hugging her books tightly. "I think she heard you."

"I don't think that was nice." Leon said, "I thought she was our friend, was she not?" He looked at the boys confused, before anyone can answer, celeste, lilah and nicholas walked by, but not with hitting ron in the back of his head as they hurried after hermione.

"I think they're mad at you, ron." Apollo said, stating the obvious, the others gave him a look, "Oh, i have to go." They watched as he ran to a girl they looked like his sister.

In the great hall, lightning flashes on the enchanted ceiling, leon stuffing his face with candy, even though he knows what happens when he's high off sugar. Harry looked down at the empty spot next to him and leon, "Where's Hermione?" Apollo looked up from his plate.

"Now that i think about it, i haven't seen the others all day since.." He casted ron a sideways glance, the boy avoiding his gaze, pretending to be interested in his own plate. "Parvati patil said that she wouldn't come out of the girl's bathroom. She said that she'd been in there all afternoon crying." Neville leaned in, like it was some secret. "Celeste, Nicholas and Lilah been with all day." He said and went back to his food.

Harry turned to ron who shrugged. Professor Quirrell came sprinting into the hall, terror on his face as he ran past the tables, "Troll — in the dungeon! Troll in the dungeon!" Dumbledore stands and looks at the professor. "Thought you ought to know." Quirrell then sank to the floor in a dead faint.

Ron screamed and dropped his candy as the other students reacted with fear, Leon stands up, peaking at the professor that was on the floor. "He is a Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor..right?" He furrowed his brow just as the auburn haired professor did the same.

"Silence!" The headmaster rumble echoed through the hall, everyone paused, looking at him, "Everyone will please not panic. Now.. prefects will lead their house back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons." Dumbledore said.

The students file out of the hall, "Gryffindors, keep up, please, and stay alert." Percy said as he led them to their tower, "How could a troll get in?" Harry asked, looking at leon and ron.

"Not on it's own. Trolls are really stupid. Probably people playing jokes." Ron said, continuing to follow the other gryffindors but harry grabbed his and leon's arm, "What?" The boy pulled them away from the others. "Hermione and the others! They don't know!"

Leon's eyes widen and he quickly ran off toward the bathroom with harry dragging ron behind him. They had just turned the corner when they heard quick footsteps behind them. "Percy!" Ron hissed, pulling leon and harry behind a large stone griffin.

Peering around it, however, they saw not percy but snape. He crossed the corridor and disappeared from view. "What's he doing?" Harry whispered. "Why isn't he down in the dungeon with the rest of the teachers?"
The other boys shrugged. "Search me."

Quietly as possible, they crept along the next corridor after snape's fading footsteps. "He's heading for the third floor," Harry said, but ron held up his hand, leon made a face. "Can you smell something?"

Harry sniffed and a foul stench reached his nostrils, a mixture of old socks and the kind of public no one seems to clean. "Oh — Oh, my god!" Leon whispered yelled as he covered his nose. And then they heard it — a low grunting, and the shuffling footfalls of gigantic feet. Ron pointed — at the end of the passage to the left, something huge was moving toward them. They shrank into the shadows and watched as it emerged into a patch of moonlight.

It was a horrible sight. Twelve feet tall, its skin was a dull, granite gray, its great lumpy body like a boulder with its small bald head perched on top like a coconut, it had short legs thick as tree trunks with flat, horny feet. The smell coming from it was incredible. It was holding a huge wooden club, which dragged along the floor because its arms were so long.

"Someone needs a bath." He whispered as the troll walked into a doorway, "It's going into the girl's bathroom." Leon stared at the club that left his sight. What would happen to them? He couldn't just leave them in there. He quickly sprinted down the corridor after hearing screams, the boys followed behind quickly and they entered the girl bathroom.

"Guys, move!" Leon yelled, the girls crawled under the stalls as nicholas stared wide eyed at the troll in the corner of the bathroom. "Holy cow." Harry, leon and ron turned as apollo entered the bathroom. As the troll destroys more stalls, the boys throw broken wood at it.
The scraps bounce off the troll, "Hey, pea brain!" Ron yelled, throwing a piece of wood at the troll's head.

As the troll looks at ron and the others, the girls took the opportunity to crawl toward the sink and hide under it. The troll looks back at them and raises its club, the blow smashes a sink and just misses the girls who screamed loudly. "Help!" As the troll swings back the club, harry pulled out his wand and grabbed onto it, lifting him up in the air and he landed on the troll's neck. "Woah!"

As the troll thrashes, harry jams his wand up its nose, everyone made a face of disgust, the troll sneezes, then yanks harry off of him and holds the boy upside down by one leg. "Do something!" He yelled. Ron and leon share a look then back at harry as the troll swings his club, the boy dodges.

"What?" Nicholas crawled away from the troll as it was distracted, "Anything! Hurry up!" Nicholas glanced at ron, "The spell! Do the spell!" He shouted and ron pulled out his wand, "Everyone's lives is at your hands, ronny." Apollo pats his back, reassuringly.'"Swish and flick." Hermione did the waving motion with her hand.

"Wingardium Leviosa." The troll's club levitates, the troll looked at his hand confusedly then looks up and the club drops onto its head. "Wicked." Leon muttered as he watched as the troll lets go of harry, as the troll stumbles toward him, harry shuffles backward quickly. The troll falls to the floor, the boys blink as the dust settle.

"Is it.. dead?" Hermione stood up slowly, the two girls following behind her. "I don't think so. Just knocked out." Harry pulls his wand from troll's nose, "Ugh! Troll bogies." He wiped the wand in his robes, celeste made a face of disgust as Mcgongall, Delaney, Quirrell and snape rush into the bathroom.

"Oh, my goodness! Explain yourselves, all of you!" Professor Mcgonagall looked at the boys, "Well, what it is.." They all started, going to talk over each other, "It's our fault, professor mcgonagall." All eyes turned to hermione and the girls. Celeste scratched her head, looking at hermione. "Um, i don't think—" She started but lilah nudged her, the malfoy huffed and stayed quiet.

"Miss granger?" The Professor looked at her, surprise coating her face as she stared at the girls and nicholas, "We went looking for the troll. I'd read about them and thought i could handle it. But i was wrong." She looked down, avoiding their eyes.

Leon, harry, ron and apollo looked at her in shock and disbelief, "If Harry, Leon, Apollo and Ron hadn't come and found us, we'd probably be dead." Harry glanced down at snape's leg then nudged leon to look, The two furrowed their brows, spotted the gash on his leg, The Professor covered his leg, giving them a look, Snape glared at them.

"Be that as it may, it was an extremely foolish thing to do. I would've expected more rational behavior on your part and am disappointed in you four." Nicholas, hermione, lilah and celeste hung their heads. "Five points will be taken from gryffindor, hufflepuff and ravenclaw for your serious lack of judgment."

She turned to the boys, "As for you three gentlemen — I just hope you realize how fortunate you are to. Not many first-years students could take on a full grown mountain troll.. and live to tell the tale." They all glanced at the troll, "Five points.. will be awarded to each of you.." The eight shared small grins, "For sheer dumb luck." Professor Mcgonagall left and Snape looked at quirrell before leaving.

"Off to your towers you go.." Professor Delaney gestures to the door. She was secretly proud of the children as they left the bathroom. She gave Quirrell a weird look before leaving.

The eight students walk down the dark corridor, "Good for you to get us out of trouble like that." Harry said, looking at hermione, "I didn't agree to any of this." The malfoy muttered. "So you're saying you wouldn't lie to save your friends?" Nicholas asked, celeste instantly shook her head. "No! If it costs me house points i would not."

"Mind you, we did save their lives ." Leon rolled his eyes at the boy, "Mind you, they might not have needed saving if you hadn't insulted hermione." He remarked. "What are friends for?"

"Oh, so now you guys are friends with her? After everything!" Lilah threw her hands up as hermione and apollo snickered, "Ron, if you do something like this again, i'm actually going to strangle you." Ron's eyes widened in fear as the others laughed.

"Are you guys just gonna let her threaten me!" He squeaked, looking at celeste in fear as she glared at him, as if she was ready to strangle him right there and now.

At breakfast, they watched as harry picks at his food, The boy was clearly anxious, dreading the moment he stepped onto the field, "Take a bit of toast, mate. Go on." Ron said, trying to get him to eat, "Ron's right, harry. You're gonna need your strength for today." Harry looked at them, throwing his hands up. "I'm not hungry."

"Good luck today, Potter. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll. A little game of quidditch should be easy work for you. Even if it is against Slytherin." He eyes them, he looked to the four students that didn't belong at the Gryffindor table. "I'd suggest you get to your own tables." He glared at them before he strides off.

Leon, harry and hermione leaned back and noticing him limping, "That explains the blood." Leon nodded, remembering a bit of blood on snape's leg, "Blood?" They looked at harry and leon questionably, "Listen, last night, i'm guessing snape let the troll in as a diversion.. so he could get past that three-headed dog. But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping."

The girls furrowed their brows and looked at each other before looking back at harry, "But why would anyone go near that dog?" Hermione asked, "I mean, he's cute but kind of scary." Lilah whispered to leon who gave her a weird look. "Cute? What part of that dog is cute."

"His heads." Celeste said, chewing on her food, leon gave them both weird looks, "His heads?! Are you two mad? You know they can eat you in one bite, right?" The girls looked at each other then back at him. "We're looking past that." Leon dropped his face in between his arms, he had weird friends, including apollo.

"So you're saying.." Hermione trailed off, as lilah, leon and celeste tune back into the conversation, "That's what the dog's guarding. That's what snape wants." They looked up as hedwig flys in, holding carrying something wrapped in brown paper.

Hedwig swoops in and drops the item in harry's hands, They watched as he slowly set it down, "Bit early for mail, is it?" Hermione voiced, her eyebrows furrowed, Harry looked down at the item in shock. "But i never get mail." He then glanced at them,"Let's open it." Ron nodded to himself and they get to work untying the strings and tearing the paper, they reveal a smooth polished broomstick with neatly tied off bristles and gold lettering on the handle. "It's a broomstick." Harry said, leon and apollo staring at the broom in shock and disbelief.

"That's not just a broomstick, Harry. It's a nimbus 2000!" Ron exclaimed, leon was practically jumping up and down in his seat, "Can i ride it, harry? Please? If it breaks i'll get my dad to buy you a new one!" The boy said, celeste smacked the back of his head and he stopped, pausing to look at her. "What was that for?!" Celeste shrugs and finished her food.

Leon watched as players flew out, "Hello, and welcome to hogwarts first quidditch game of the season. Today's game — Slytherin versus Gryffindor!" Lee Jordan, the announcer said through the mic, the students cheering loudly.

"Quidditch! Quidditch!" Apollo and Leon chanted as the players form a ring over the center field, "The players take their positions as madam hooch steps out onto the field to begin the game!" The woman looks up at them, "Now I want a nice clean game.. from all of you!" She said, once they were all gathered around her. Hooch opens the quidditch chest, releasing the bludgers and the snitch.

"The bludgers are up.. followed by the golden snitch. Remember, the golden snitch is worth 150 points. The seeker who catches the snitch ends the game."

Madam hooch threw the quaffle up in the air, "The quaffle is released.. and the game begins!" One of the Gryffindor chasers quickly snatches the quaffle, weaving through the slytherin team, One of the slytherin checks her then veers quickly, nearly grazing some spectators with their broom.

The Gryffindor chaser ducks a bludger then heads for the slytherin goal, two slytherins tail behind her, the girl throws the quaffle. "Angelina Johnson scores! 10 points for Gryffindor!" Apollo and Leon turn to each other with excited smiles and high-fives.

"Leon, you're going to fall." Hermione said over the crowd as she pulled leon back as the boy was leaning over the stands, He shoots her a smile quickly before looking back out on the field.

"Slytherin takes possession of the quaffle. Bletchley passes to captain marcus flint." Marcus kicks one of the Gryffindor players broom, and the player spins out of control. He throws the ball at the Gryffindor hoop but oliver wood, the keeper blocks it, He smirks at the angry slytherin.

"Is that not a foul?! What happened to a clean game?!" Leon exclaimed loudly, looking at celeste and lilah with his hands up, "You are way too into this." The blonde sighed as lilah nodded in agreement.

Leon waved them off with an eye roll and turned back to the field, two Gryffindor chasers weave in and out around the towers, passing the quaffle back and forth, as two Slytherins follow, one Gryffindor backs outside Slytherin's hoops and tosses the quaffle. The other chaser catches it, throwing the ball through the hoop.

"Another 10 points to Gryffindor!" Leon and apollo cheered loudly, "Gryffindor!" They jumped, turning to their left, not noticing nicholas was next to them. They shared a look before joining in him. "Gryffindor! Woo!"

Carrying the quaffle, a Slytherin chaser dodged a bludger then elbows a Gryffindor, he throws the ball but oliver blocks it, as oliver throws the quaffle into play, marcus steals a beater club from his teammate and he whacks a bludger into oliver's chest. The keeper tumbles back through the hoop and lands in the sand.

"Boo!" The crowd booed the Slytherins as it took leon everything in his power to not pull out his wand and curse every single Slytherin. Marcus leaps off his broom, arches in mid air and over one of the weasley twins and lands back on his broom, he throws the ball, giving them 10 points.

They watched as marcus and his teammate slam into angelina johnson, they steal the quaffle then split. The Gryffindor chaser slams into a tower, falling down onto the ground.

Leon groaned and threw up his hands as the Slytherin team scores again. He looked up, spotting as harry started to move through the air, "He sees it!" Leon nudged his friends and pointed up to harry.

Leon furrowed his brow as harry's broom bucks and spins wildly, "What's going on with harry's broom?" Hagrid asked as Hermione looked at harry through her binoculars.

Hermione looked at her friends, "It's snape. He's jinxing the broom!" They immediately looked at her, then back up at harry, "Jinxing the broom? What do we do?" Ron questioned. "Leave it to me." She handed the binoculars to ron and left, Harry slipped off his broom, hanging on by one hand, "Come on, Mione!" Leon whispered.

Harry holds onto his broom with both hands, the broom began to swing him left and right, "Come on, come on." Leon cheered loudly, when harry swings himself back onto his broom then zooms off.

Harry catches up to the Slytherin seeker and checks him, shoulder to shoulder, the two seekers kept checking each other, one whack sends harry way out but he quickly returns. Following the snitch, the two seekers go into a dive, as the ground gets closer, the Slytherin seeker gives harry a panicked look and pulls up.

Harry plants his feet on his broom and strains to bend the handle upward, he pulls out of the dive, cruising inches above the grass, harry lets go of the broom handle and stands. "Holy shoot, what's he doing?" Nicholas said, as they all watched in shock.

"He's crazy." Celeste muttered in disbelief. Harry reached for the snitch, he steps into the brooms tip, the broom tilts and harry tumbles to the ground. He stood, he lurches like he's about to puke. "Oh!" Leon leaned back. "Looks like he's gonna be sick." Hagrid said, and harry spits out the snitch.

Leon eyes widened and he looked at apollo and nicholas then at the girls, "He's got the snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the snitch!" Leon cheered, throwing his arms up, almost hitting lilah.

"Gryffindor wins." Madam hooch yelled, The towers erupted with cheers and yells, The other Gryffindor players surround him as everyone cheered, "Go, Go, Gryffindor!" They chanted loudly.

"Nonsense! why would snape put a curse on harry's broom?" Hagrid questioned as they follow him out of the castle, "Who knows? Why was he trying to get past that three-headed dog on halloween?" Harry asked and hagrid looked at them questionably.

"Who told you 'bout fluffy?" He asked, leon frowned at the name, "Fluffy?" He and Ron said in sync, "He just keeps getting cuter and cuter." Leon made a face at lilah. "That thing has a name?" Hermione questioned.

"Well, of course he's got a name. He's mine. I bought him off an irish feller i met down at the pub last year. Then i lent him to dumbeldore to guard the.." Hagrid trailed off.

"Yes?" Harry said eagerly, "Shouldn't have said that. No more questions! Don't ask anymore questions. That's top-secret, That is." He exclaimed, leon shared a look with harry.

"But hagrid, whatever fluffy's guarding, snape's trying to steal it." Hagrid turned to them and stopped, and looked down at them. "Codswallop. Professor Snape is a hogwarts teacher."

"Hogwarts teacher or not, I know a spell when i see one. I've read all about them. You've got to keep eye contact, and snape wasn't blinking." Leon pointed to hermione in agreement, acting like he knew that. "At all." Nicholas spoke up, nodding. "Exactly."

"Now, listen to me, all eight of you. You're meddling in things that ought not to be meddled in. It's dangerous. What that dog is guarding is strictly between professor dumbledore and nicholas flamel." Hagrid said, the group shared looks.

"Nicholas flamel?" The two said in sync, Hagrid froze then walked away, "I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that. I shouldn't have said that." He repeated.

"Nicholas flamel. Who's nicholas flamel?" Harry asked as they watched hagrid walk down to his hut, "I don't know." Hermione shook her head, as though they forgot their lesson with Professor Delaney already. Lilah and Celeste looked at each other, clearly the only ones remembering but they're just gonna let the others figure it out themselves.

"Knight to e5" Harry said as he and ron played wizard's chess, leon was reading his comic book with celeste and lilah hovering over him like they hadn't read or seen one before. Apollo was quite literally in his own world, drawing on his converse and eating chocolate. Nicholas had his trunk sitting next to him, reading a book as he waited for hermione.

The white knight moved on its own, hermione walks up to them as ron studies the board. He smirked and looked up, "Queen to E-5" The red queen smashes the knight with her throne. "That's totally barbaric!" The girl exclaimed.

"That's wizard's chess. I see you've packed." He grinned then at her bags, "See you haven't." She remarked, looking at them, lilah looked up from the comic book, "Packed? Packed for what — wait, we're leaving today?" Her eyes widened before she shoots up out of the bench and sprints down the hall and out.

They watched her go, leon and celeste snickered as the boy placed the comic book down, "Change of plans. My parents decided to go to Romania to visit my brother charlie. He's studying dragons there." Ron said, leon leaned in, getting close to ron. "Have you seen one before?" He whispered and ron leaned back, shaking his head.

"I can't leave harry alone with these three." Celeste gestured to leon, ron and apollo, "And plus, i'm avoiding my father." She shrugged, resting her chin on her hand. "Good. you four can help harry, then. he's going to go and look in the library for information on Nicholas Flamel." Celeste groaned. "Really considering on just going now."

"We've looked a hundred times." Ron looked at them, hermione leans closer, "Not in the restricted section. Happy Christmas." The girl walked away with nicholas trailing behind, the others looked at each other. "I think we've had a bad influence on her." Leon nodded in agreement.

"Harry, leo, Wake up! Come on, Harry, leo, Wake up!" Harry grabs his glasses from his bedside table and gets out of bed, shaking leon awake and dragging him out of the dormitory, they reached the railing that overlooked the common room. "Happy Christmas, Harry, Leo." He said looking up at his friends.

"Happy Christmas, Ron." Harry smiled, "Yeah, yeah, happy whatever." Leon grumbled, rubbing his eyes, Harry glanced down at ron's shirt, "What are you wearing?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Oh, My mum made it. Looks like you've got one too." Harry looked down at ron, "I've got presents?" He asked in shock, the redhead nodded with a smile.
"Yeah." Harry and Leon looked at each other before The two ran down the stairs and ron pointed to the presents, "There they are." Harry picked up a present and sat down, "Your father left this in my possession before he died. It is time it was returned to you. Use it well." Harry read off the note. The boy placed the note down and opened the gift.

"What is it?" Ron questioned as harry stands, revealing a long velvety garment with swirls of green, gold and red, "Some kind of cloak." Harry said, staring down at it, "Well, let's see, then. put it on." Harry dawns the cloak and all but his head disappears. Leon stared at him in shock, "Dude! That's sick!" He muttered as he walked around harry.

"Whoa!" Ron let out, "My body's gone!" Harry said, staring up at them in surprise, "I know what that is. That's an invisibility cloak." Ron stands up, putting his candy to the side. "I'm invisible?" Harry asked.

"They're really rare." Ron picks up the letter. "Wonder who gave it to you." Harry walked over to ron and leon. "There was no name. It just said.. 'use it well."

Leon looks up from his present and holds up a couple of bracelets, "Oh, my sister made these for you guys." He handed harry a green and red bracelet and ron an orange one, The two grinned and put them on.

Harry, celeste and leon reaches the door to the restricted section with the invisibility cloak on. Leon sticks his hand out, unlatching the gate and he pushes the doors open, they walked inside slowly and looked around as harry held the lantern up for them to see.

"Famous fire-eaters." He whispered, looking through the books, "15th-century fiends." Leon's eyes ran through the book names quickly, "Flamel. Nicholas Flamel." Harry whispered, "Where are you?" The trio removed the cloak and sets it on the table. They study the shelf of books in front of them.

Harry placed the lantern down and looked around, He pulls a chained book from the shelf and goes to open it, "No, Harry —" Celeste closed her eyes tightly and sighed as a face stretches from the book, screaming loudly.

Harry shut the book immediately, putting it back in its place, "Who's there?" They sharply turned to the entrance of the restricted section, they quickly grabbed harry's cloak, knocking over the lantern.

"I know you're in there. You can't hide." The trio stopped in their tracks, seeing the light of filch's lantern come closer, They quickly throw the cloak back over their heads. Filch stands at the end of the room.

"Who is it? Show yourself." The trio slowly walked past filch, they backed in between two bookshelves and watch as filch past by a few feet from them. As the man stalks away, the trio moves cautiously on.

In the corridor, outside the library, filch's cat sits in a patch of moonlight, the cat starts toward them making them flee down the hall, they turn a corner and comes upon snape and quirrell. "Severus, I thought.." The Professor started, "You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrell." They slowly moved behind snape and the other professor as snape held quirrell against the wall.

"Wh-What do y-you mean?" He stuttered, "You know perfectly well what I mean." As the trio sneaks past the professors, snape looks directly at them, celeste quickly covered the boys mouths, snape reaches out his hand and swipes the air in front of him. They back away.

"We'll have another little chat soon, when you've had time to decide where your loyalties lie." Snape warned, looking back at quirrell.

"Oh, Professors, I found this in the restricted section. It's still hot. That means there's a student out of bed." The Professors and Filch leave quickly as Harry, leon and celeste opened a door slowly and closed it.

The trio took off the cloak and saw a mirror, they share a look before stalking towards it, They look into the mirror, seeing different things.

Harry watches as two figures fade into view, standing behind him, a man and a woman smile down at him from the mirror, harry looks over both his shoulders, only spotting leon and celeste as they looked into the mirror themselves. He turns back to his reflection in the glass, watching harry, the two figures beam down at harry. "Mum?" The redhead woman smiles and nods, harry looked to the man to his right. "Dad?" The man grins, harry slowly reaches out, placing his fingers on the glass then lets his arm fall back to his side.

Leon stared into the mirror, staring at a woman who had his eyes and his face, the woman was looking at him with a smile, a gentle one. He wanted to reach out and hug her but he couldn't. She wasn't here. She wasn't real. He smiled slightly, he wished he had more time with her. He wished she had more time with them. Leon wondered what life would be like if she was here, would it be more fun? more happy? He envied people who had their moms.

Though Harry saw both of his parents, and Leon only saw his mother, Celeste saw her mother, father and draco, they looked happy. Which is weird because she was sure her father was at home right now, scowling away thinking on ways to call her an embarrassment to the family name while he'll go on and say he's proud of draco or some sorts. She wished he showed that he loved her, she could remember when she was little he loved her like she was his little angel, now he was just cold to her. She stared at the happy man in front of her with a small frown on her face as he smiled.
