I look around as Harry and I both walk down a large staircase to a room with the mirror from a few months ago right in the middle. Harry and I both feel the stinging uncomfortable pain on our scars and see professor Quirrell.

"You," Harry whispers confused while I shake my head watching Quirrell turn around, "No it can't be. Snape, he was the one who..."

"Yes, he does seem the type, doesn't he? Who would suspect p-p-poor s-s-stuttering professor Quirrell?"

I look at him disgusted and Harry shakes his head, " but that day during the quidditch match, Snape tried to kill me."

"No, dear boy. I tried to kill you and trust me if Snape's cloak hadn't caught fire and broken my eye contact, I would have succeeded. Even with Snape muttering his little counter-curse."

"Snape was trying to save me?"

"I knew you two were a danger to me right from the off. Especially after Halloween."

I start to walk closer down the stairs, "then you let the troll in?"

"Very good, Ms. Potter, yes. Snape, unfortunately, wasn't fooled. While everyone was running about the dungeon, he went to the third floor to head me off. He, of course, never trusted me again," Quirrell slowly turns around and Harry and I feel the stinging again on our scars, "He rarely left me alone. But he doesn't understand. I'm never alone. Never."

Harry and I look at each other before slowly walking forwards, closer to the professor.

"Now, what does this mirror do? I see what I desire. I see myself holding the stone, but how do I get it?"

A faint voice whispers, "use the twins," while Harry and I look around the room for someone but there is nobody else here besides me, Harry and Professor Quirrell.

"Come here Potters! Now!"

We slowly walk over to Quirrell and the mirror, stopping in front of it.

"Tell me. What do you see?"

Harry and I look deeply into the mirror and wait. I watch as Harry takes a red stone out of his pocket and then wink. My eyes widen quickly, and Harry and I look at each other. Harry puts his hand on his pocket and feels a lump. He has the Sorcerers Stone.

"What is it? What do you see?"

"We are standing with our parents; they are hugging both of us."

We hear the voice again, "she lies."

"Tell the truth! What do you see?"

Harry and i look up at Quirrell and before we can talk the voice speaks again, "let me speak to them."

Quirrell starts to talk to himself and Harry and I exchange a look both agreeing that this man is insane. We watch as he unwraps his head and turns to face us to reveal a gross looking face in the mirror.

"Harry and (Y/n) Potter. We meet again."

"Voldemort," Harry and I whispers slowly backing up to the stairs.

"Yes. You see what I've become? See what I must do to survive? Live off another, a mere parasite. Unicorn blood can sustain me, but it cannot give me a body of my own. But there is something that can that lies in your very pocket Mr. Potter."

I grab Harry's hand and pull him as I try to make a run for it but as i climb up some stairs, flames burst around us. There is nowhere we can run to.

"Don't be fools. Why suffer a horrific death, when you can join me and live?"

"Never," Harry and I yell out.

"Bravery, I expected it from Harry but not from you (Y/n). A slytherin rejecting me? Tell me twins, would you like to see your mother and father again? Together we can bring them back, all i ask in return is that stone."

Harry takes it out of his pocket and i look at him like he is crazy, because he is.

"Harry what are you doing," I whisper to him and he looks at Quirrell

"That's it Harry, there is no hood and evil. Only power and those too weak to seek it. We'll do extraordinary things! Just give me the stone."

"You liar!"

"Kill them!"

Quirrell starts to fly towards Harry and I jump in front of him and get knocked to the ground by Quirrell. He starts to choke me and I look at Harry who is on the ground. He gets up and goes to pull Quirrell off. We watch as Quirrell starts to turn to dust and we hear him scream in agony.

"What is this magic!"

"Fool! Get the stone!"

He charges us again but we put our hands on his face as he screams again and starts to fall to the ground. I run to get the stone and look back at a pile of ashes that once was Professor Quirrell. I pick up the stone and walk over to Harry.

"That was freaky."

I nod, "we need to get out of here."

I start to walk before Harry screams, "(Y/n)! Look out!"

I look up as a dust cloud storms me and then knocks me out making me drop the stone on the ground.
