Emily's POV:
As we silently returned to the common room, both of our minds were racing with the events that had just occurred. Almost immediately we both started chatting. "Who's going to take what?" I asked confused. Lee gasped loudly, causing me to stop and turn to face him. "What?". "SOMEONES GOING TO STEAL THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE!" Lee whisper shouted. "Oh my god how could I be so stupid!" I said annoyed. "Well you were born it so.." George said popping up behind us. "What's your Problem Weasley. Why so rude all of a sudden" I replied. "You were annoying me and then you left even though I told you not to!" George explained - making absolutely no sense at all. "Ohhh, I get it" Lee laughed "He's on his man period". I burst out laughing, as George walked away angrily muttering to himself. "But back to business, who would want to steal it?" I asked. "I mean, who wouldn't want eternal life?" Lee stated simply.

As I lay in my bed, mulling over the reason of life, I heard voices downstairs. Curiosity taking over, I left my cocoon and went to investigate.

"I'm sorry to have to do this Neville. Petrificus Totalus."
"Wow, you can be scary sometimes. Amazing, but scary"
"Come on let's go"
I poked my head around the corner, only to see the fat lady's portrait open and close, leaving a petrified Neville on the floor. "Oh my god are you okay?" I said rushing to his body, swiftly unpetrifying the first year. "T-They're going to get us in t-trouble again!" Neville exclaimed angrily before looking down to his lap "I couldn't stop them". I kneeled infront of the now sitting Neville. "Hey, look at me. You tried. Trust me, Herman can be really tough when she wants to be." I said comfortingly. "Now off to bed. I'll stay here to whoop their asses when they come back" I said standing up and offering my hand to the boy. "Thanks E-Emily" he said giving me a quick hug. "It's ok Nevs. Bed now" I jokingly ordered. He saluted and walked up the stairs. I seated myself on the seat and leant back. I was going to be here for a while.

After 3 hours of silence I heard hurrying footsteps rushing through the halls. "RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY" I heard Hermione shout. "HARRY COULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW AND YOURE SAYING THAT YOURE HUNGRY!". "What. I didn't eat a lot at dinner" Ron moaned. I swiftly left the common room and grabbed the duo's shoulders. "What. Are. You. Doing" I asked menacingly. "Emily! You need to take us to Dumbledores office! Harry is in danger!" Hermione babbled. Sensing the urgency in her voice I started quickly walking. "Come on then" I ushered.

"Sherbet lemons" I said to the gargoyle, leading us to the office. "How do you know the password?" Ron asked. "I came here last week for playing a prank on Filch" I laughed. "Hey, I thought Dumbledore was away" I asked. "He'll be here" Hermione replied surely opening the door.

"Miss Granger, please move aside. I have to save a certain Potter from the grips of Voldemort" Dumbledore said calmly.

After lots of persuasion from Dumbledore that the trio would be fine, I returned to the common room, slightly shaken up. I had just seen Dumbledore carrying an unconscious Harry from the 3rd floor. Apparently he had just saved the world. Again.

Damn this must be one vivid dream.

Ouch. Nope not a dream.
Merlin that hurt!
