Chapter 29: Chapter 25: the stone and the puppet



'Well it's finally here the end of book one's climax' I think as I get ready for the trials ahead with Helena and Hermione. Yes I'll basically be the Ron Weasley of the group. I've got Excalibur as a elvish knife modeled after sting, my USP.45 tactical hidden under my school uniform.

Helena and Hermione both have several potions I've made such as wiggenweld, endurus, and focuspotions. As we head towards the third floor under a disillusionment charm we spot Ron and the other two stooges also going into the room where fluffy resides.

" The sheer stupidity is contagious between them three. " I say," but we're going the same way so it might be calling the pot black and we're the kettle."

" No they don't think what is ahead and what it truly is that is being guarded." Says Hermione," hope Weasley gets maimed."

" Damn vicious much, I kinda like it " I say jokingly. "Hermione Granger people, a girl who holds a grudge seven fold."

" Oh shut up before I gag you." Says Hermione smiling.

" It's always the quiet ones." Says Helena poking Hermione. As I walk towards the door I try using a small percentage of asmosdeus power especially reading minds so I can hear Ron and then through the door, but I catch something different.

' hmm he would look nice in leather and tied up and blindfolded. So would Helena she's so sexy with her balance breaker and it can evolve if I remember correctly reading about them '

Yup always the nerdy and quiet ones. I shake the thought away as I focus on the door and her the thoughts of Ron literally screaming. I reel back and say," fluffy is awake so I'll go in first and play some music for him to sleep."

I walk in and meet a growling fluffy and before he could maul me I pull out the ocarina of time, that has been sitting in my inventory forever. I raise it to my lip and play the one song that should be easy. Zelda's lullaby. As the song begins fluffy immediately calms down and falls asleep. As he does so Helena and Hermione slip in and go through the trap door followed by me.

Thud thud squelch.

" Caution it's devil snare," I say," we need light or a fire"

" But there's no wood" says Hermione panicked.

" Honestly are you a witch or not" says Helena exasperated as I give her a dead pan look.

" Heh heh" says Hermione but freaks out when a piece of devils snare wraps around her chest then up through her shirt.

" Fuck this" I say," lumos solem"

As the large ball of light drives away the devil's snare I use p.o.d to erase it from existence. I walk over to the girls and ask," you ok?"

" Not really I thought I would end up like those girls from Japan." Says Hermione scared she blushes at mentioning this," I've stumbled across a book with a scene like this and that's the only time I've burned one." I nod at this and hug her while also deciding to release a calming pheromone spell from asmosdeus bloodline. She calms down considerably and we move on to the next room with the flying keys. I just walk right on over to the door and pick the lock. I open it just in time for Ron to sacrifice Seamus in the chess match. As he goes down I cast three stupifying charms at each one knocking them out after Ron checks the king. I also used obliviate to remove the memories of tonight and the memory destroying knife to make sure it won't be undone or detected. I send them away with Ebony to return them to the dorm before continuing to the next room with the dead troll then on to the potions room. I sigh at this and just use glacius on the fire extinguishing the flame and moving on to the last room.

Quirrel is there looking at the mirror of erised frustrated for the lack of obtaining the stone. He turns hearing us enter the room but soon three stunners fly out and hit him square in the chest. He goes flying and smashes through the mirror causing the fake stone to disappear. Helena reaches in her pocket and pulls it out and says," huh that's oddly coincidental. I guess Dumbledore enchanted it so I can pull it out but probably would have said something like only one that can hold it but not use it for themselves or some other bullshit."

" Most likely," I say as quirrel starts to convulse and I get a notification.

Due to the fortune cookie being broken a misfortune has occurred.

" Well shit" I say," who fucking broke the cookie!"

Ron Weasley found it laying around after it fell out of your pocket since you were going to use it later and broke it.

Soon a evil laugh echos through the room as quirrel stands up but is then floating limply in the air like a puppet. A illusion of Voldemort in his glory appears behind him as I hear him chant.

surgite pupulam meam carnis et vitreae, tollite animas coram vobis et convivio.

( Translate from Latin to English: rise my puppet of flesh and glass take forth the souls before you and feast )

Soon Quirrel's body breaks apart and his muscles get exposed as the glass from erised rises up and embeds itself into the new puppet.The puppet lowers down to the floor and starts to convulse then rushes at us with frightening speed. Helena barely dodges a swipe from its bone and glass claw. She reactively creates a shadow blade and slices the hand off but it soon comes back to the puppet as it dodges another swipe. Hermione fires a incendio at it but the puppet raises its arm and a Glass shield is formed blocking the fire. I draw Excalibur and slice the shield arm off as it swipes at me grazing the armor I quickly equipped. The arm falls off and as soon as the shield touches the ground it shatters to fine dust but the arm doesn't regrow. I grin at its weakness and toss a weapon to Hermione.

As the puppet goes to slash me again it is hit by a spear and slapped away burning with holy energy. Hermione gains a look of fierceness holding her new spear. A lance whose blade is a cross like blade made from pristine goblin silver that i imbued with holy energy, the shaft is ironwood that I also Imbued with holy energy. Before the puppet could get up it is stabbed into the ground by Helena wielding her odachi sword. Shadows start swarming over the body as they cover the puppet the convulsing stops and the shadows slowly sink into the ground revealing the puppet is no more. The illusion of Voldemort fades and disappears completely leaving us all alone. We leave the room after calling for Deek and soon we're back in the room of requirement the teachers none the wiser of our whereabouts.

I've got a feeling in my bones that the cookie just gave Voldemort a power boost.
