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. 382Please respect copyright.PENANAZR5Lsg9ZCN

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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAKNaVHJo8tP

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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAQY6oH8ULDw

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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAI0ab0dB01Z

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. 382Please respect copyright.PENANAmnY8jYtNWS

"Malfoy," Neville gasped, confirming my suspicions. "I met him outside the library. He said he'd been looking for someone to practice on."382Please respect copyright.PENANA1gjWRCnqa9

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. 382Please respect copyright.PENANAdsGT7BTlUe

"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."382Please respect copyright.PENANARqKm8gJ153

"There's no need to tell me I'm not brave enough to be in Gryffindor, Malfoy's already done that," Neville choked out. 382Please respect copyright.PENANAiAvRxb5nC7

"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAZAIvAMmOw1

"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. 382Please respect copyright.PENANAybGuVg68YR

"Dumbledore again," I heard Harry say. "He was the first one we ever -" I looked up as he paused.382Please respect copyright.PENANAHiVuZZJcyI

"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)382Please respect copyright.PENANAqao5ZIHfmp

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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAAeRuOqv7Ro

"I never thought to look in here!" She whispered excitedly. "I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading!"382Please respect copyright.PENANAWEeMr5X6mx

"Light?" Ron said eyeing the heavy book. Hermione ignored him and frantically began flipping through the pages.382Please respect copyright.PENANAAQVsQBMwKF

"There! I knew it! Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Sorcerer's Stone!" My jaw dropped. 382Please respect copyright.PENANAbmYliC8QIe
382Please respect copyright.PENANATzsVIw8iXf

"Really? Woah!" I said amazed. Harry and Ron looked at us in confusion.382Please respect copyright.PENANArvE2DfeqzA

"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!382Please respect copyright.PENANAg7S6GuJZsh

"A stone that makes gold and stops you from ever dying? No wonder Snape's after it! Anyone would want it." Harry said.382Please respect copyright.PENANAxQRabkSwpX
382Please respect copyright.PENANAU7NgZy8rgb
382Please respect copyright.PENANAW1IoF1bPgt
"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. 382Please respect copyright.PENANA7u0Lo6sn6u

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.
