Solving Riddles

"Sev is way too smart for his own good." Harry muttered but he was grinning.

"This is the time where I thank Merlin you are unnaturally smart." Draco told him and Harry laughed at the irony. He inspected each bottle when and found the bottle which would let them  forward through the black flames.

"Here, this is it, drink it and go through."

"That's hardly a mouthful, what are you going to do?" Draco asked taking the tiny bottle.

"If I'm right as soon as the bottle goes back in its place it will refill." Harry explained.

"And if it doesn't?" 

"I'll use a flame freezer and walk on through."

Draco rolled his eyes and walked through the flames, Harry placed the bottle back and watched as it shook before refilling, he grinned and gave it to Theo  following Draco through then it was his  turn. He didn't want to just walk through the flames, though he may have been a fire elemental, it didn't mean cursed fire would wash over him; he'd like to try that theory in a controlled environment first.

"See, I'm never wrong." Harry said smugly.

"Well oh genius one work this out." The brunette motioned to a grand mirror that was in the room, it was the only thing in the room so Harry walker forward to inspect the mirror he could feel the magic in it as he looked it over. "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on woshi." Theo muttered. 

"What?" Draco asked at the inscription at the top of the mirror. "What does it mean?" The blonde asked as Harry gazed as it. 

"I show not your face but your heart's desire." Harry read, "It's in mirror." 

"Clever," 

"Yes which means that this is the key to the stone."

Draco was stood in front of the mirror and he looked in to it, he gasped and stepped back.

"I have the stone and I'm using it but I don't know how to get it." Harry tilted his head. "Oh that's good," He breathed with his eyes alight. 

"What?" Draco and Theo asked bewildered.

"Let me stand there for a second." Draco moved and Harry placed himself in front of the glass, he closed his eyes and focused his thoughts and feelings then snapped his eyes open. He was stood calmly in the mirror when the reflection suddenly winked and pulled a blood red stone from his pocket and replaced it in the same place, only this time he felt a weight land in his actual pocket and he broke in to a shit eating grin.

"Oh Dumbledore, I won't deny you are clever." Harry turned to face Draco and Theo and pulled the stone out of his pocked, both pair of eyes widened.

"How in the name of Circe did you do that?"

"You needed to want the stone but not want to use it," Theo stated.

"Correct it is quite simple if you think about it but brilliant."

Draco shook his head. "I give up." 

He sighed and Harry laughed. He looked the stone over, looking at all its tiny details before conjuring up one that was identity and setting it back in to the mirror.

"Come on, we have to flame back."

Draco curled his lip in distaste, Harry rolled his eyes and grabbed both their arms again, making sure to land in the bathroom just in case either one was sick. The other Snake wasn't, but he didn't look to healthy as they went to bed, Harry secured the stone in his trunk under every ward he knew plus a Parseltongue password. He fell in to bed with a smile on his face. 

The first order of business with the stone for Harry was figuring out who wanted it to begin with. They had no luck on discovering who was after the stone and it went out of Harry's mind when the next Quidditch match approached in March and they were up, he had begun his own version of the map and he had some pretty decent research on Tom Riddle. 

He had written to the goblins, who had happily sent him as much information as they could on the name 'Riddle' as they weren't allowed to give away personal information. Riddle was from a long line of Unblessed that seemed to come from somewhere close to Morgana Le fey, he went to Hogwarts during the 40's and was a top student, he had received a special award to the school, a prefect and Head Boy and was the smartest person that had very walked the halls of the school. 

 Then it seemed that after the 50's Riddle just vanished of the radar, he either changed his name or was living as a hermit but there was no trace of 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' until Harry had seen the name on the map and the map never lied. It frustrated Harry to no end that he barely knew anything about the mysterious name but it was put in to the back of his mind in thought of the game, Flint was pushing them to the limits and they were training nearly every night much to the team's ire. 

"If you're going to complain you should think of the 60 points Gryffindor were leading us by on the last game." He roared and that shut everyone up. It had come to a tie between Gryffindor and Hufflpuff. Even though Gryffindor had already beaten Hufflepuf, the Lions had won their game with a lot of points, so they were tied with Slytherin at the top of the board as this was the second match they needed to work. Harry and Draco had put plan 'humiliate Dumbledore' in to motion. 

It started off as small things like changing the color of his shoes, they would cast little spells on him whenever they have seen Dumbledore and they were slowly getting bigger; Harry made his robes change violent pink. It was starting to get to Dumbledore as it has happen every day, but what he didn't realize that Harry had slipped a potion in his drink one morning that was like a memory, it made the magical core remember all of the spells cast on its being and it could be triggered to replace the spells with a certain word or spell.

The Snakes were layering up the spells and Harry had set the trigger word to Evangeline or Eve which he like to call her by, so when Harry slipped him the activation potion every time Dumbledore said 'Evangeline' or it was spoken around him all of the prank spells he had vanished or removed would come back full force and the potion was untraceable. It was a genius potion he had found in the back or Sal's book and he immediately made it, Theo sat down with a nod signalling the activation potion had been administered and Harry smirked evilly.

"Let the fun begin." He murmured. Unfortunately for the pranksters, they didn't see Dumbledore until dinner, but when they did it was so worth the wait. He sat down and began speaking with Minerva and it didn't take more than two minutes before Dumbledore suddenly changed. Harry coughed to cover his laugh and Draco ducked his head, Dumbledore had green skin, orange hair, pink robes, blue shoes, yellow eyes and a clown nose. The hall erupted in laughter and Dumbledore looked down in alarm, he waved his wand and got rid of it with a laugh and continued his conversation. 

Again half way through he changed in to the same get up causing laughs, when it happened for the 5th time Harry had to determinedly look away from the staff table and Draco was concentrating on his plate at an alarming rate but his glowing pink cheeks were a clear sign of his amusement. On the 7th time they left to laugh outright, they clutched their sides and held each other up in their giggles.

"How long does this last?" Draco gasped out.

"I'm not sure, I think it needs a counter." Harry replied and they dissolved in roaring laughter again.

"Oh Merlin, this is going to be hilarious." Harry nodded in agreement

 "Come on lets go see dad, it's been a few days." When they got to the marauders quarters they discovered Sirius and James in fits of laughter. 

"What's so funny?" Harry asked with a grin of his own. 

"Dumbledore stormed out of the hall." Sirius told them, and they all smirked. "It was you?" 

"How? They left before Dumbledore and it kept happening?" James pointed out and the trios' grins were anything but reassuring. 

"It might have something to do with Evangeline." Harry told them putting emphasis on 'Evangeline'. 

"Yes, he does often speak about Evangeline." James added with a smirk, both marauders then fully understood what they said. They all then fell into fits of laughter and hung out for the rest of the wondrous night.
