Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Page #7

Synopsis: This is the tale of Harry Potter, an ordinary 11-year-old boy serving as a sort of slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his mundane existence by Hagrid, the grounds keeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into a world completely foreign to both him and the viewer. Famous for an incident that happened at his birth, Harry makes friends easily at his new school. He soon finds, however, that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined, and he quickly learns that not all wizards are ones to be trusted.

Not as good as you.

Me? Books and cleverness.|There are more important things.

Friendship and bravery.|And, Harry, just be careful.

You?

No, it can't be.|Snape, he was the...

Yes, he does seem the type,|doesn't he?

Next to him, who would suspect...

...poor, stuttering|Professor Quirrell?

But that day, during the Quidditch match,|Snape tried to kill me.

No, dear boy. I tried to kill you!

If Snape's cloak hadn't caught|fire and broken my eye contact...

...I would have succeeded.

Even with Snape muttering|his countercurse.

Snape was trying to save me?

I knew you were a danger to me,|especially after Halloween.

- Then you let the troll in!|- Very good, Potter, yes.

Snape, unfortunately, wasn't fooled.

While everyone ran about,|he went to the third floor to head me off.

He, of course, never trusted me again.

He rarely left me alone.|But he doesn't understand.

I'm never alone. Never.

Now, what does this mirror do?

I see what I desire.

I see myself holding the Stone.|But how do I get it?

Use the boy.

Come here, Potter! Now!

Tell me, what do you see?

What is it? What do you see?

I'm shaking hands with Dumbledore.|I've won the house cup.

He lies.

Tell the truth! What do you see?

- Let me speak to him.|- Master, you are not strong enough.

I have strength enough for this.

Harry Potter...

...we meet again.

Voldemort.

Yes. You see what I've become?

See what I must do to survive?

Live off another. A mere parasite.

Unicorn blood can sustain me...

...but it cannot give me|a body of my own.

But there is something that can.

Something that, conveniently enough,|lies in your pocket.

Stop him!

Don't be a fool.

Why suffer an horrific death...

...when you can join me and live?

Never!

Bravery. Your parents had it too.

Tell me, Harry...

...would you like to see|your mother and father again?

Together...

...we can bring them back.

All I ask is for something in return.

That's it, Harry.

There is no good and evil.

There is only power...

...and those too weak to seek it.

Together, we'll do|extraordinary things.

Just give me the Stone!

You liar!

Kill him!

- What is this magic?|- Fool, get the Stone!

Good afternoon, Harry.

- Tokens from your admirers?|- Admirers?

What happened in the dungeons between|you and Professor Quirrell is a secret.

So, naturally, the whole school knows.

I see that your friend Ronald|has saved you the trouble...

...of opening your Chocolate Frogs.

Ron was here? Is he all right?|What about Hermione?

Fine. They're both just fine.

- What happened to the Stone?|- Relax, dear boy.

The Stone has been destroyed.

My friend Nicholas and I|have had a little chat...

...and agreed it was best all around.

But then, Flamel,|he'll die, won't he?

He has enough Elixir|to set his affairs in order.

But yes, he will die.

How is it I got the Stone, sir?

One minute I was staring|in the mirror and...

You see, only a person...

...who wanted to find the Stone,|find it...

...but not use it,|would be able to get it.

That is one of my more brilliant ideas.

And between you and me,|that is saying something.

Does that mean, with the Stone gone,|that Voldemort can never come back?

I'm afraid...

...there are ways|in which he can return.

Harry, do you know why...

...Professor Quirrell couldn't bear|to have you touch him?

It was because of your mother.|She sacrificed herself for you.

And that kind of act leaves a mark.

No, this kind of mark cannot be seen.

- It lives in your very skin.|- What is it?

Love, Harry. Love.

Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.

I was most unfortunate in my youth|to come across a vomit-flavored one.

And since then,|I've lost my liking for them.

But I think I could be safe...

...with a nice toffee.

Alas!

Earwax.

- All right there, Ron?|- All right. You?

All right. Hermione?

Never better.

Another year gone.

And now, as I understand it,|the house cup needs awarding.

And the points stand thus:

In fourth place,|Gryffindor with 312 points.

Third place,|Hufflepuff with 352 points.

In second place...

...Ravenclaw with 426 points.

And in first place...

...with 472 points, Slytherin house.

Nice one, mate.

Yes, well done, Slytherin.|Well done.

However, recent events must|be taken into account.

And I have a few last-minute points|to award.

To Miss Hermione Granger,|for the cool use of intellect...

...while others were in grave peril...

...50 points.

Good job.

Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley,|for the best-played game of chess...

...that Hogwarts has seen|these many years, 50 points.

And third...

...to Mr. Harry Potter...

...for pure nerve|and outstanding courage...

...I award Gryffindor house 60 points.

We're tied with Slytherin!

Finally, it takes a great deal of bravery|to stand up to your enemies...

...but a great deal more|to stand up to your friends.

I award 10 points...

...to Neville Longbottom.

Assuming that my calculations|are correct...

...I believe that a change|of decoration is in order.

Gryffindor wins the house cup.

Come on, now.|Hurry up, you'll be late.

Train's leaving. Go on.|Come on, hurry up.

- Come on, Harry.|- One minute.

Thought you were leaving|without saying goodbye, did you?

This is for you.

Thanks, Hagrid.

Go on. On with you. On with you now.|Oh, listen, Harry.

If that dolt of a cousin of yours,|Dudley, gives you any grief...

...you could always threaten him...

...with a nice pair of ears|to go with his tail.

But we're not allowed to do magic|away from Hogwarts. You know that.

I do. But your cousin don't, do he?

Feels strange to be going home,|doesn't it?

I'm not going home.

Not really.
