"Professor" Adrian and his friends caught up to Professor McGonagall "we need to talk to Professor Dumbledore" They had decided to tell him about Harry knowing who the yellow eyed man was
"Professor Dumbledore is not here" McGonagall replied
"But we need to see him!" Adrian insisted
"Mr Potter, I can assure you that of the many things I am capable of, talking to people who aren't physically capable of talking back is not one of them. If you need to talk to Dumbledore then you will have to wait until he gets back"
"But Professor, we need to talk to him about the philosophers stone"
"How did you know about that?" McGonagall's eyes narrowed
"We think Snape's trying to steal it" Ron replied
"Yeah" Adrian nodded "come on Professor, we need to talk to him before that git steals it"
"That's enough!" McGonagall responded "Ten points from Gryffindor from disrespecting a professor, the stone is perfectly protected, now you three will return to the common room before I give you all a detention." The trio reluctantly left.
"Alright" Adrian said "we got to go down the trap door tonight"
"But you heard McGonagall" Hermione objected
"Please" Adrian snorted "we have to stop Snape, he probably knows how to get past the traps. We'll stop him then Dumbledore will reward us, might even let us keep the stone"
"Awesome" Ron clapped his hands together "we'll be heroes and rich!" With that, any hope Hermione had of convincing them otherwise had gone down in flames.
...
Later at night, the trio had made their way down the trap door. They had barely avoided getting eaten by the giant three headed dog that Hagrid had given Dumbledore to guard the stone. They had gotten past the devil snare that Sprout provided thanks to Hermione, they just about got past Flitwick keys with some lucky flying from Adrian. Ron had gotten knocked out during McGonagall's chess set, and Hermione stayed behind during Snapes trial.
Adrian walked through the flames thanks to the potion he had just drank, this was going to be it. He was confident, he'd stop Snape and then he'd be praised by Dumbledore. He'd tell everyone in school and they'd be bowing and praising him for being a hero.
When Adrian had gotten into the next room, he was very much surprised when he didn't find Snape, what he actually found was Quirrell. He couldn't understand what that useless idiot was doing here.
"Quirrell?" Adrian spoke, attracting Professor Quirrells attention, but Adrian was surprised by how calm the man looked. Instead of a shivering wreck, there was a calm man and it unnerved Adrian. "What are you doing here? Where's Snape? He was supposed to be trying to steal the stone"
"Snape" Quirrell said with amusement and without a stutter "yes, he does seem the type, doesn't he? Next to him, who would suspect p…poor s…stuttering Professor Quirrell?"
"But Snape tried to kill Harry!"
"No, dear boy, I tried to kill your brother! And believe me, if it wasn't for Snapes cloak catching fire I would have succeeded, even with him muttering his little counter curse"
"But why Harry?!" Adrian was rather pleased that he wasn't the one that Quirrell was trying to kill but he was also a bit disappointed that Quirrell deemed his brother to be more important than himself.
"He was a danger" Quirrell responded "I knew he'd be a danger, especially after that troll incident"
"Troll? You let it in!" Adrian accused
"Yes, very good Potter" Quirrell nodded "while everyone went to the dungeons Snape cut me off on the third floor corridor. He never left me alone after that, what he doesn't understand is, I'm never alone" Quirrell turned to the mirror "now, how do I get the stone?"
"Use the boy" A voice whispered
"Come here Potter!" Quirrell turned to Adrian "Now!"
Adrian's legs started moving on their own, and he started looking into the mirror. He looked into the mirror, he looked and saw himself standing there, behind him were tons of screaming fans. One of them ran up to him and placed something in his pocket, Adrian reached into his actual pocket and felt something in there. The stone, he realised.
"Well" Quirrell snapped "tell me, what do you see?!"
"Uh, my family" Adrian lied, he had just realised that he hadn't thought about his parents in a long time. If he survived today then he would probably go and visit them.
"He lies" The voice from earlier said
"Tell the truth!" Quirrell shouted "What do you see?!"
"Let me speak to him" Spoke the voice
"Master, you're not strong enough" Quirrell replied
"I have strength for this" The voice responded. Adrian began taking a few steps back as Quirrell began undoing his turban, Adrian had just gotten back to the stairs when the turban had come off and revealed a face on the back of Quirrells head.
"Adrian Potter" Said the face
"V…Voldemort!" Adrian froze "it…it can't be you!"
"See what has become of me?" Voldemort asked "A mere parasite, forced to live off of others, unicorn blood may sustain me. But I will need more to return to my body, namely that stone in your pocket." Adrian gasped, he had no idea how Voldemort knew about it.
"That thing, in the forest, it was you" Adrian deduced
"Yes, very good" Voldemort replied "it seems that there is a brain in that thick skull after all."
"W…why did you attack Harry?" Adrian asked, he had no idea what he was going to do and couldn't think of anything better than to stall for time.
