Rose Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Mirror of Erised

This has been the best Christmas I could ever ask for. Harry and I got to spend time with the Weasley, we got to eat amazing foods and for the first time, we actually got presents. It truly was a magical Christmas. We also had a snowball fight with the Weasley, and not to toot my own horn, but I did pretty well.

After that, we went back to the Gryffindor common room, where Harry broke in his new chess set by losing spectacularly to Ron, which was extremely funny to watch.

And the meal...omg the meal was delicious. We had turkey sandwich, crumpet, trifle, and Christmas cake, now that's how you do a Christmas meal.

But everyone was really sleepy, so we went back to the common room, and that's the story of our magical Christmas, you could say it was wonderful...and it was.

In the common room, Fred and George are being chased by Percy because they stole his prefect badge and I couldn't help but smile. As much as this been an amazing Christmas, I just couldn't help but think about the Invisibility Cloak, I really want to use it, so did Harry.

So we confirmed that after everybody goes to sleep, we can use it and sneak out of the
common room tonight.

Harry grabbed the Invisibility Cloak and pulled it over us, wow it's so cool to be under it. It was kinda funny, because of how short I was, Harry had to bend down so it wouldn't show my feet.

We walked out of the common room, and so many thoughts were going through my head, where should we go? What should we do? We can literally do anything.

"Where should we go?" I whispered to Harry.
"I don't k- wait- the Restriction Section" he whispered excitedly.
I gave him a confused look and said "why?"

"Oh right, after the game, Ron, Hermione and I went to see Hagrid, and he said something about the sorcerer's stone, he let something slip about Nicolas Flamel, so we've been trying to figure out who he is and this would be the perfect time to go to the restriction section to find out who he is" he told me.

I just shrugged and we went towards the library.

The library was pitched black and felt very eerie. Harry lit a lamp so we could see our way along the rows of books. The lamp looked as if it was floating along in midair, which was pretty funny.

The Restricted Section was right at the back of the library. We carefully stepped over the rope that separated these books from the rest of the library, and Harry held the lamp so we could read the titles. But sadly they weren't telling us much, some of them were books that spelled words in languages that neither Harry or I could understand. Some didn't even have a title. One book had a dark stain on it that looked really close to blood.

Then something happened that made the hairs on the back of my neck prickled. I thought I heard someone speaking, or whispering, but it was coming from the books. I've seen weirder things so it wouldn't be a surprise if it really was talking.

Harry set the lamp down carefully on the floor. We looked on along the bottom shelf. Then a large book with black and sliver volume caught my eye so did Harry. We looked at each other, and he pulled it out, but it was a very heavy book so it was very difficult to get it out and he just let it fall open.

A piercing, bloodcurdling shriek came from the book, it was the most torturous scream I have ever heard. I cover my ears and stumble backward and knocked over the lamp. Finally, Harry snapped it shut. I gave him a 'really' look and he gave me an apologetic smile, oh brother.

Quickly, we stuff the book back on the shelf and ran for it. We passed Filch in the doorway, I almost gasped, but Harry put his hand over my mouth, shutting me up.
