Chapter 16: The trip

After Christmas Edwin had a few days before he would have to go back to Hogwarts, he decided that it would be the best time to try out the vanishing cabinet, A pair of vanishing cabinet acts as a passageway between places taking you from one cabinet to another and it ignores anti-apparation charms.

Edwin and got an apple for the vanishing test, he could return in pieces if the Cabinet was damaged in any way or stuck in limbo, After putting the apple into the cabinet Edwin closed the door and prayed for the best the apple was no longer in the Cabinet.

" Hope it works, " Edwin said then took a pen and wrote " please repair the cabinet in Hogwarts ... I might be stuck in Limbo "

Edwin got in the Cabinet and close the door he Felt upset and sat down till he got a hold of himself When he exited and looked around it was Hogwarts the cabinet worked, but it was still too early to move it was still day time Edwin decide to wait till Midnight to move the cabinet into his room in Slytherin.

When midnight had arrived Hogwarts corridor was dark the torches that would normally lit the way was gone it leaving a creepy vibe to the castle Edwin used wingardium leviosa to make the Cabinet float and Lumos to light the way Edwin didn't run into any anyone on the way to Slytherin common room.

Edwin set the cabinet near his bed and Back home, on the last day of his very short Christmas vacation Edwin went looking around the castle at night when he hears someone arguing " Fred there is no way he could be here the train comes in tomorrow " George said

" but it's weird it shows he's here and moving fast," Fred said "let's follow him"

After Edwin hears the first part of Fred and George's conversation he began to run back to his room bracing the wall and gasping or breath " It' too early for them to know " and went back home and drop to sleep.

" Edwin! " Wend shout " Yasbel go wake your brother " Edwin had already woke up from the shout but had chosen to stay in bed " Edwin wake up you'll miss the train " Yasbel shout while knocking at the door " shithead wake up "

" I'm up," Edwin said as he reluctantly got out of bed and got ready, the Vaclav got at the train station a few minutes before it was supposed to leave, Edwin got on the train said his goodbyes and

went looking for an empty Cabin, he saw Theodore with the other Slytherin student in a cabin near each other.

As Edwin was about to enter the cabin he saw Theodore talking to Daphne and turned around leaving Theodore to Enjoy his conversation After finally finding an Empty cabin he went and sleep, but it didn't last long he was woken up by someone shaking him.

" What is your problem" Edwin hissed" can't you see I'm trying to sleep "

" I have something I want to ask you," Hermione said

Edwin knew Hermione might not stop bothering him unless he answers her " if it's about me saving Harry" Edwin said " I don't hate him and I Had a few Galleons Him "

" Oh?" Hermione said " it's not that do you know who Nicolas Flamel is"

"yeah, and why did you ask me? " Edwin said "I taught you Griffindoors don't like Slytherin"

" Just tell me who he is "

"Nicolas Flamel is a Master Alchemists who is the sole owner of the philosopher's stone," Edwin said

" what is the philosopher stone," Hermione asked

" HaHa the know it all don't know something " Edwin laugh and Hermione started to get upset buy before she could say anything " it is a stone that can turn any base metal to gold and can create an elixir of immortality plus other unknown things "

" that's what it's guarding " Hermione mumble " how do you know this "

" I'm interested in it " Edwin smile " Alchemy is a fusion between Chemistry, transfiguration, and potions with added benefits I might learn it"

" I believe all subject is important but my favorite would be transfiguration or charms," Hermione said
