<p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>He'll come back.<br> But if he comes back...<br> ...you don't think he'll try|to kill you, do you?<br> If he'd had the chance,|he might have tried tonight.<br> And to think I've been worrying|about my Potions final.<br> Hang on a minute.|We're forgetting one thing.<br> Who's the one wizard|Voldemort always feared?<br> Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore|is around, Harry, you're safe.<br> As long as Dumbledore is around,|you can't be touched.<br> I'd heard Hogwarts' final exams were|frightful, but I found that enjoyable.<br> Speak for yourself.|All right there, Harry?<br> - My scar. It keeps burning.|- It's happened before.<br> - Not like this.|- You should see the nurse.<br> I think it's a warning.|It means danger's coming.<br> - Of course!|- What is it?<br> Isn't it odd that what Hagrid wants|more than anything is a dragon...<br> ...and a stranger just happens|to have one?<br> How many people wander around|with dragon eggs?<br> Why didn't I see it before?<br> Who gave you the egg?|What did he look like?<br> I never saw his face.|He kept his hood up.<br> You and this stranger|must have talked.<br> He wanted to know what sort|of creatures I looked after.<br> I said, "After Fluffy,|a dragon's gonna be no problem".<br> - Was he interested in Fluffy?|- Of course he was interested.<br> How often do you come across|a three-headed dog?<br> But I told him, "The trick with any beast|is to know how to calm him".<br> Take Fluffy, for example. Play him|music and he falls straight to sleep.<br> I shouldn't have told you that.<br> Where are you going?<br> We have to see Dumbledore.|Immediately!<br> I'm afraid he's not here.<br> He received an urgent owl|from the Ministry of Magic and left.<br> He's gone?|But this is important!<br> This is about the Philosopher's Stone!<br> - How do you know...?|- Someone's going to try and steal it.<br> I don't know how you know,|but I assure you it is well protected.<br> Now would you go back|to your dormitories? Quietly.<br> That was no stranger Hagrid met.|It was Snape.<br> Which means he knows|how to get past Fluffy.<br> - And with Dumbledore gone...|- Good afternoon.<br> What would three young Gryffindors...<br> ...be doing inside on a day like this?<br> - We were just...|- You ought to be careful.<br> People will think you're...<br> ...up to something.<br> Now what do we do?<br> We go down the trap door. Tonight.<br> Trevor.<br> Trevor, go! You shouldn't be here!<br> Neither should you.|You're sneaking out again, aren't you?<br> - Neville, listen. We were...|- No, I won't let you!<br> You'll get Gryffindor into trouble again.|I'll fight you.<br> Petrificus Totalus.<br> You're a little scary sometimes,|you know that?<br> Brilliant, but scary.<br> Let's go.<br> - Sorry.|- It's for your own good, you know.<br> - You stood on my foot!|- Sorry.<br> Alohomora.<br> Wait a minute. He's...<br> ...snoring.<br> Snape's already been here.|He's put a spell on the harp.<br> It's got horrible breath.<br> - We have to move its paw.|- What?<br> Come on!<br> Okay. Push.<br> I'll go first. Don't follow|until I give you a sign.<br> If something bad happens,|get yourselves out.<br> Does it seem a bit quiet to you?<br> The harp.<br> It's stopped playing.<br> Jump!<br> Lucky this plant thing's here, really.<br> Stop moving, both of you.|This is Devil's Snare.<br> You have to relax. If you don't,|it will only kill you faster.<br> Kill us faster?|Oh, now I can relax!<br> Hermione!<br> - Now what are we gonna do?|- Just relax!<br> - Hermione, where are you?|- Do what I say! Trust me.<br> - Are you okay?|- Yeah, I'm fine.<br> - He's not relaxing, is he?|- Apparently not.<br> - We've gotta do something.|- What?<br> I remember reading something|in Herbology.<br> Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare.|It's deadly fun...<br> ...but will sulk in the sun!|That's it! It hates sunlight.<br> Lumus Solem.<br> - Ron, you okay?|- Yeah.<br> Lucky we didn't panic.<br> Lucky Hermione pays attention|in Herbology.<br> What is that?<br> I don't know. Sounds like wings.<br> Curious. I've never seen|birds like these.<br> They're not birds.|They're keys.<br> And I'll bet one of them|fits that door.<br> - What's this all about?|- I don't know.<br> Strange.<br> "Alohomora!"<br> Well, it was worth a try.<br> What will we do?|There must be a thousand keys.<br> We want a big, old-fashioned one.|Probably rusty.<br> I see it!|The one with the broken wing.<br> What's wrong?<br> It's too simple.<br> Go on! If Snape could catch it|on that old broomstick, you can.<br> You're the youngest Seeker|in a century.<br> This complicates things a bit.<br> Catch the key!<br> Hurry up!<br> I don't like this.|I don't like this at all.<br> Where are we? A graveyard.<br> This is no graveyard.<br> It's a chessboard.<br> There's the door.<br> Now what do we do?<br> It's obvious, isn't it? We've got|to play our way across the room.<br> Harry, you take|the empty bishop's square.<br> Hermione, you'll be|the queen-side castle.<br> As for me, I'll be a knight.<br> What happens now?<br> Well, white moves first.<br> And then...<br> ...we play.<br> Ron, you don't suppose|this is going to be like...<br> ...real wizard's chess, do you?<br> You there, d5.<br> Yes, Hermione.<br> I think this is gonna be|exactly like wizard's chess.<br> Castle to e4!<br> Pawn to c3!<br> - Wait a minute.|- You understand right, Harry.<br> Once I make my move,|the queen will take me.<br> Then you're free to check the king.<br> - No. Ron, no!|- What is it?<br> - He's going to sacrifice himself.|- No, there must be another way!<br> Do you wanna stop Snape|from getting that Stone or not?<br> Harry, it's you that has to go on.|I know it.<br> Not me. Not Hermione. You.<br> Knight to h3.<br> Check.<br> Ron!<br> No, don't move!|Don't forget, we're still playing.<br> Checkmate.<br> Take care of Ron.|Then go to the owlery.<br> Send a message to Dumbledore.|Ron's right.<br> I have to go on.<br> You'll be okay, Harry.|You're a great wizard. You really are.<br> Not as good as you.<br> Me? Books and cleverness.|There are more important things.<br> Friendship and bravery.|And, Harry, just be careful.<br> You?<br> No, it can't be.|Snape, he was the...<br> Yes, he does seem the type,|doesn't he?<br> Next to him, who would suspect...<br> ...poor, stuttering|Professor Quirrell?<br> But that day, during the Quidditch match,|Snape tried to kill me.<br> No, dear boy. I tried to kill you!<br> If Snape's cloak hadn't caught|fire and broken my eye contact...<br> ...I would have succeeded.<br> Even with Snape muttering|his countercurse.<br> Snape was trying to save me?<br> I knew you were a danger to me,|especially after Halloween.<br> - Then you let the troll in!|- Very good, Potter, yes.<br> Snape, unfortunately, wasn't fooled.<br> While everyone ran about,|he went to the third floor to head me off.<br> He, of course, never trusted me again.<br> He rarely left me alone.|But he doesn't understand.<br> I'm never alone. Never.<br> Now, what does this mirror do?<br> I see what I desire.<br> I see myself holding the Stone.|But how do I get it?<br> Use the boy.<br> Come here, Potter! Now!<br> Tell me, what do you see?<br> What is it? What do you see?<br> I'm shaking hands with Dumbledore.|I've won the house cup.<br> He lies.<br> Tell the truth! What do you see?<br> - Let me speak to him.|- Master, you are not strong enough.<br> I have strength enough for this.<br> Harry Potter...<br> ...we meet again.<br> Voldemort.<br> Yes. You see what I've become?<br> See what I must do to survive?<br> Live off another. A mere parasite.<br> Unicorn blood can sustain me...<br> ...but it cannot give me|a body of my own.<br> But there is something that can.<br> Something that, conveniently enough,|lies in your pocket.<br> Stop him!<br> Don't be a fool.<br> Why suffer an horrific death...<br> ...when you can join me and live?<br> Never!<br> Bravery. Your parents had it too.<br> Tell me, Harry...<br> ...would you like to see|your mother and father again?<br> Together...<br> ...we can bring them back.<br> All I ask is for something in return.<br> That's it, Harry.<br> There is no good and evil.<br> There is only power...<br> ...and those too weak to seek it.<br> Together, we'll do|extraordinary things.<br> Just give me the Stone!<br> You liar!<br> Kill him!<br> - What is this magic?|- Fool, get the Stone!<br> Good afternoon, Harry.<br> - Tokens from your admirers?|- Admirers?<br> What happened in the dungeons between|you and Professor Quirrell is a secret.<br> So, naturally, the whole school knows.<br> I see that your friend Ronald|has saved you the trouble...<br> ...of opening your Chocolate Frogs.<br> Ron was here? Is he all right?|What about Hermione?<br> Fine. They're both just fine.<br> - What happened to the Stone?|- Relax, dear boy.<br> The Stone has been destroyed.<br> My friend Nicholas and I|have had a little chat...<br> ...and agreed it was best all around.<br> But then, Flamel,|he'll die, won't he?<br> He has enough Elixir|to set his affairs in order.<br> But yes, he will die.<br> How is it I got the Stone, sir?<br> One minute I was staring|in the mirror and...<br> You see, only a person...<br> ...who wanted to find the Stone,|find it...<br> ...but not use it,|would be able to get it.<br> That is one of my more brilliant ideas.<br> And between you and me,|that is saying something.<br> Does that mean, with the Stone gone,|that Voldemort can never come back?<br> I'm afraid...<br> ...there are ways|in which he can return.<br> Harry, do you know why...<br> ...Professor Quirrell couldn't bear|to have you touch him?<br> It was because of your mother.|She sacrificed herself for you.<br> And that kind of act leaves a mark.<br> No, this kind of mark cannot be seen.<br> - It lives in your very skin.|- What is it?<br> Love, Harry. Love.<br> Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.<br> I was most unfortunate in my youth|to come across a vomit-flavored one.<br> And since then,|I've lost my liking for them.<br> But I think I could be safe...<br> ...with a nice toffee.<br> Alas!<br> Earwax.<br> - All right there, Ron?|- All right. You?<br> All right. Hermione?<br> Never better.<br> Another year gone.<br> And now, as I understand it,|the house cup needs awarding.<br> And the points stand thus:<br> In fourth place,|Gryffindor with 312 points.<br> Third place,|Hufflepuff with 352 points.<br> In second place...<br> ...Ravenclaw with 426 points.<br> And in first place...<br> ...with 472 points, Slytherin house.<br> Nice one, mate.<br> Yes, well done, Slytherin.|Well done.<br> However, recent events must|be taken into account.<br> And I have a few last-minute points|to award.<br> To Miss Hermione Granger,|for the cool use of intellect...<br> ...while others were in grave peril...<br> ...50 points.<br> Good job.<br> Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley,|for the best-played game of chess...<br> ...that Hogwarts has seen|these many years, 50 points.<br> And third...<br> ...to Mr. Harry Potter...<br> ...for pure nerve|and outstanding courage...<br> ...I award Gryffindor house 60 points.<br> We're tied with Slytherin!<br> Finally, it takes a great deal of bravery|to stand up to your enemies...<br> ...but a great deal more|to stand up to your friends.<br> I award 10 points...<br> ...to Neville Longbottom.<br> Assuming that my calculations|are correct...<br> ...I believe that a change|of decoration is in order.<br> Gryffindor wins the house cup.<br> Come on, now.|Hurry up, you'll be late.<br> Train's leaving. Go on.|Come on, hurry up.<br> - Come on, Harry.|- One minute.<br> Thought you were leaving|without saying goodbye, did you?<br> This is for you.<br> Thanks, Hagrid.<br> Go on. On with you. On with you now.|Oh, listen, Harry.<br> If that dolt of a cousin of yours,|Dudley, gives you any grief...<br> ...you could always threaten him...<br> ...with a nice pair of ears|to go with his tail.<br> But we're not allowed to do magic|away from Hogwarts. You know that.<br> I do. But your cousin don't, do he?<br> Feels strange to be going home,|doesn't it?<br> I'm not going home.<br> Not really.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br></p>
