Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Page #6

Okay. Then I get Fang.

Fine. Just so you know,|he's a bloody coward.

Wait till my father hears about this.|This is servant's stuff.

If I didn't know better,|I'd say you were scared.

I'm not scared, Potter.

Do you hear that?

Come on, Fang.

Scared!

What is it, Fang?

Harry Potter, you must leave.|You are known to many creatures here.

The Forest is not safe at this time.|Especially for you.

What was that thing you saved me from?

A monstrous creature.|It is a terrible crime to slay a unicorn.

Drinking its blood will keep you alive|even if you are an inch from death.

But at a terrible price. For you|have slain something so pure...

...that the moment the blood touches|your lips, you will have a half-life.

A cursed life.

- Who would choose such a life?|- Can you think of no one?

Do you mean to say that|that thing that killed the unicorn...

...that was drinking its blood,|that was Voldemort?

Do you know what is hidden|in the school at this very moment?

The Philosopher's Stone.

Harry!

Hello there, Firenze.|See you've met our young Mr. Potter.

You all right there, Harry?

Harry Potter,|this is where I leave you.

You're safe now. Good luck.

You mean, You-Know-Who is out there|right now in the Forest?

But he's weak.|He's living off the unicorns.

Don't you see? We had it wrong.

Snape doesn't want the Stone for himself.|He wants it for Voldemort.

With the Elixir of Life,|Voldemort will be strong again.

He'll come back.

But if he comes back...

...you don't think he'll try|to kill you, do you?

If he'd had the chance,|he might have tried tonight.

And to think I've been worrying|about my Potions final.

Hang on a minute.|We're forgetting one thing.

Who's the one wizard|Voldemort always feared?

Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore|is around, Harry, you're safe.

As long as Dumbledore is around,|you can't be touched.

I'd heard Hogwarts' final exams were|frightful, but I found that enjoyable.

Speak for yourself.|All right there, Harry?

- My scar. It keeps burning.|- It's happened before.

- Not like this.|- You should see the nurse.

I think it's a warning.|It means danger's coming.

- Of course!|- What is it?

Isn't it odd that what Hagrid wants|more than anything is a dragon...

...and a stranger just happens|to have one?

How many people wander around|with dragon eggs?

Why didn't I see it before?

Who gave you the egg?|What did he look like?

I never saw his face.|He kept his hood up.

You and this stranger|must have talked.

He wanted to know what sort|of creatures I looked after.

I said, "After Fluffy,|a dragon's gonna be no problem".

- Was he interested in Fluffy?|- Of course he was interested.

How often do you come across|a three-headed dog?

But I told him, "The trick with any beast|is to know how to calm him".

Take Fluffy, for example. Play him|music and he falls straight to sleep.

I shouldn't have told you that.

Where are you going?

We have to see Dumbledore.|Immediately!

I'm afraid he's not here.

He received an urgent owl|from the Ministry of Magic and left.

He's gone?|But this is important!

This is about the Philosopher's Stone!

- How do you know...?|- Someone's going to try and steal it.

I don't know how you know,|but I assure you it is well protected.

Now would you go back|to your dormitories? Quietly.

That was no stranger Hagrid met.|It was Snape.

Which means he knows|how to get past Fluffy.

- And with Dumbledore gone...|- Good afternoon.

What would three young Gryffindors...

...be doing inside on a day like this?

- We were just...|- You ought to be careful.

People will think you're...

...up to something.

Now what do we do?

We go down the trap door. Tonight.

Trevor.

Trevor, go! You shouldn't be here!

Neither should you.|You're sneaking out again, aren't you?

- Neville, listen. We were...|- No, I won't let you!

You'll get Gryffindor into trouble again.|I'll fight you.

Petrificus Totalus.

You're a little scary sometimes,|you know that?

Brilliant, but scary.

Let's go.

- Sorry.|- It's for your own good, you know.

- You stood on my foot!|- Sorry.

Alohomora.

Wait a minute. He's...

...snoring.

Snape's already been here.|He's put a spell on the harp.

It's got horrible breath.

- We have to move its paw.|- What?

Come on!

Okay. Push.

I'll go first. Don't follow|until I give you a sign.

If something bad happens,|get yourselves out.

Does it seem a bit quiet to you?

The harp.

It's stopped playing.

Jump!

Lucky this plant thing's here, really.

Stop moving, both of you.|This is Devil's Snare.

You have to relax. If you don't,|it will only kill you faster.

Kill us faster?|Oh, now I can relax!

Hermione!

- Now what are we gonna do?|- Just relax!

- Hermione, where are you?|- Do what I say! Trust me.

- Are you okay?|- Yeah, I'm fine.

- He's not relaxing, is he?|- Apparently not.

- We've gotta do something.|- What?

I remember reading something|in Herbology.

Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare.|It's deadly fun...

...but will sulk in the sun!|That's it! It hates sunlight.

Lumus Solem.

- Ron, you okay?|- Yeah.

Lucky we didn't panic.

Lucky Hermione pays attention|in Herbology.

What is that?

I don't know. Sounds like wings.

Curious. I've never seen|birds like these.

They're not birds.|They're keys.

And I'll bet one of them|fits that door.

- What's this all about?|- I don't know.

Strange.

"Alohomora!"

Well, it was worth a try.

What will we do?|There must be a thousand keys.

We want a big, old-fashioned one.|Probably rusty.

I see it!|The one with the broken wing.

What's wrong?

It's too simple.

Go on! If Snape could catch it|on that old broomstick, you can.

You're the youngest Seeker|in a century.

This complicates things a bit.

Catch the key!

Hurry up!

I don't like this.|I don't like this at all.

Where are we? A graveyard.

This is no graveyard.

It's a chessboard.

There's the door.

Now what do we do?

It's obvious, isn't it? We've got|to play our way across the room.

Harry, you take|the empty bishop's square.

Hermione, you'll be|the queen-side castle.

As for me, I'll be a knight.

What happens now?

Well, white moves first.

And then...

...we play.

Ron, you don't suppose|this is going to be like...

...real wizard's chess, do you?

You there, d5.

Yes, Hermione.

I think this is gonna be|exactly like wizard's chess.

Castle to e4!

Pawn to c3!

- Wait a minute.|- You understand right, Harry.

Once I make my move,|the queen will take me.

Then you're free to check the king.

- No. Ron, no!|- What is it?

- He's going to sacrifice himself.|- No, there must be another way!

Do you wanna stop Snape|from getting that Stone or not?

Harry, it's you that has to go on.|I know it.

Not me. Not Hermione. You.

Knight to h3.

Check.

Ron!

No, don't move!|Don't forget, we're still playing.

Checkmate.

Take care of Ron.|Then go to the owlery.

Send a message to Dumbledore.|Ron's right.

I have to go on.

You'll be okay, Harry.|You're a great wizard. You really are.
