Mommy’s girl vs daddy’s girl.

My name is Ruby and I'm a dragon. I was born only few weeks ago from my egg and then I met my sister Cristal! I really like her, she's so smart and strong! Sis told me all about how her Daddy was so much stronger than her and she's right! I really look up to him! But there is someone I love so much more! My mommy! When I first woke up, she was patting me on my head singing songs and talking to me, it was so nice! But I didn't understand her! So I asked my sister Cristal for help! I saw her talking with Daddy and Mommy and the second Mommy and I wanted do to it as well, so sister started teaching me!

I also felt that Cristal was very connected to her Daddy so I wanted the same connection to mommy. I tried to imitate the connection that sister had with Daddy and soon I felt it working! I can now fell my mommy much better! I feel so happy! And mommy is happy as well! I can tell! So now I can focus on training with sister! I'll show mommy how smart I am! I hope she will praise me, and I would be able to understand it as well! She's always so nice, even if i don't understand, but Cristal always translates for me so I managed somehow, but I want to talk and understand mommy! So I trained and finally after a few weeks I finally got a somehow passing mark from sis! I instantly went with her looking for mommy to show her my progress! When I saw my mommy sitting with Daddy and second mommy, I gathered my courage and shouted.

§"Mommy!"§

I saw my mommy looking at me surprised, and then she smiled. SHE SMILED! She stuffed me in an embrace and hugged the life out of me! I was so happy! My mommy praised me and hugged me for my hard work! I'll work harder for you mommy so you will be proud of me!

§"I love you mommy!"§ I said.

§"I love you too Ruby, haha"§ said my mommy!

"Care someone explain to me how is a dragon using parseltongue?" Said daddy, hehe silly daddy. But I can see sista already explaining so I can keep enjoying my mommy's embrace, haha nice sista!

I love my mommy!

It's again me Cristal! And I have a new sister! Her name is Ruby and she's a dragon! We became friends as soon as we met and I was training her in my language for a while already. As two reptiles, we could easily communicate but we never used parseltongue. Daddy said it's only natural for snakes like me and some humans like daddy but I decided to train my sister anyway! It was an experiment just like I see my Daddy always do. And it worked! My sister was learning very fast and I was very proud of her! Now if only she understood he greatness of my Daddy that would be even better but my sister's head is all over Mommy Luna. I tried to make her a Daddy believer like myself but she already bounded with Luna before I could propose it. Sneaky reptile she is, that Ruby haha!

When I deemed Ruby's language to be sufficiently fluent we went to Daddy to get some praises but sister went for mommy instead! Blasphemy! Daddy is the greatest! How could she?! But I quickly realized that she just needs time to see my daddy's superiority! I'm sure she would admit her wrongs soon enough. For now I'll just go to my daddy, and tell him how hard we worked I'm sure he would be proud!

My daddy asked about Ruby's talking ability so I told him everything! He was very proud of me and how I cared for my sister. But I felt a little bad about it because I was a little selfish in all this training, hoping to get praised instead of really caring for my sister so I promised myself to always have my sister as my first priority. When I confessed it to Daddy he was even more proud of me! I knew it was the right thing to do! I'll make you proud daddy! Just you see! I'll be the best daughter in the world!

I love my daddy!

Konrad and the girls were really proud of Cristal for teaching Ruby to talk and of Ruby for how fast she learned. The next few weeks were mostly spend helping Ruby get used to the language and to help her understand English, even if she couldn't use it herself. The little dragon was progressing very fast under the eye of Cristal and Konrad was really proud of his daughter.

They decide to postpone their projects a little to focus on the little dragon and her own magical and language training, while reading additional material on the side. Teaching a dragon magic was much more complicated than teaching Cristal because the crystal on her forehead worked as a substitute of a wand while dragon magic consisted only of subconscious body strengthening and flight assist, and allowed them to breath fire. They needed to basically teach Ruby wandless magic, if they wanted her to learn it at all! But Luna's research played the main role here. Thanks to her runic cluster, the magic around it became smooth and calm causing the magic of Ruby or anyone to became simply peaceful when they stood in the area of effect. That in turn allowed Ruby to feel the difference between her tiny fire breath in and out of the area. She could fell the imperfection of her previous technique and slowly but surely her control started growing. She could make stronger fire with a lesser expense of magic and Luna could clearly see with her magesight how the raging magic of the little dragon became more refined and started flowing in a more and more smoother motion.

They were only training the little dragon for a few days when Konrad spotted a special dot moving on the Marauder's Map.

"Girls! Quirrellmort is going to the third floor!" Konrad said.

"So it's today?" Luna asked.

"I think so. It's almost the end of the school year so he had to do it finally. Do you want to stop him? Or we should just sit here and laugh, since there's no stone down there?" Konrad said grinning.

"Let's... wait look at this!" Hermione exclaimed.

Everyone looked back a the map and they saw three dots walking quickly in the direction of the third floor corridor.

"That's Neville, Hanna, and Padma! They must be trying to stop Quirrell!" Luna said surprised.

"Alright Let's go we need to help them so they don't hurt themselves. Ruby stay here with Athena and Crookshanks please, your getting to big and your not yet strong enough to fight the dangers we are about to face. You can observe us on the Marauder's Map V2. Konrad said.

Marauder's Map V2 was an improved version created by hermione and Luna as a side project. They cracked the way it was created and created a new version for each of them that contained places like ROR and the chamber of secrets that Konrad visited briefly and sealed shut just in case he didn't found the journal horcrux where it was supposed to be. The reason he didn't met with the basilisk was because he was yet to prepare equipment strong enough to protect him from the killing gaze and he wasn't about to fight a giant basilisk if he wasn't sure the snake was even aggressive in the first place. Konrad would prepare himself and visit the basilisk in his second year to try and talk reason with it, and would only kill it if he was sure there's no way of saving it.

Ruby wasn't happy that she couldn't join them but she told Cristal that she is going to tell her everything later.

The trio and Cristal run under the disillusionment where Hermione's Map indicated Neville and the others were. And it seems they already reached the third floor corridor where Fluffy waited behind the door. They saw them going in and soon the three moved to where the trap door's symbol was written Fluffy must still be asleep.

Konrad, Luna and Hermione arrived in the corridor and only now did they realized that it's the first time ever Luna went so far out of the Room of requirements, which Konrad didn't forget to point out laughing. They then quickly passed Fluffy after conjuring a self playing violin. And easily dispatched the devil's Snare, only to fall beside another three heavy breathing kids.

"There you are!" Konrad shouted.

"Konrad? Hermione? What are you doing here, And...who are you?" Neville asked.

"We came after you, why didn't you call us? We gave you a mirror right?" Hermione said.

"Oh and this is Luna, please don't ask us now how she got here but she's our...friend." Konrad added.

"Nice to meet you Luna. And we wanted to call you but Neville left the mirror in his dorm and we just found out that Quirrell is trying to steal the thing that is hidden here!" Exclaimed Padma.

"Yeah, we wanted to stop him but Mr Filtwick didn't believe us so we run here to try and stop him ourselves." Added Parvati.

Konrad was laughing internally, so if I'm not going to stop him Neville would? Well it's true we talked with them about this thing and even once stumbled onto Fluffy with Neville while escaping Filch but for them to figure it out so easily?

"So, did you find out what is actually hidden here?" Konrad asked.

"Yeah, we think it's the Philosopher's Stone. Hagrid is Very talkative haha." Neville said. Konrad was really impressed how far his friend went in this one year, gaining more courage and confidence while becoming more open to other people. His inner Gryffindor really showed now... but still running into danger without thinking? Yep Gryffindor he is haha.

"Oh I know what it is! Then we can't let him get it right?" Konrad said.

They all nodded although Hermione and Luna with a little amusement. Konrad was at the moment researching the stone so he certainly knew what it is haha.

"Then let's go!" Neville said with an expression that made both Padma and Hannah weak on their legs. Konrad smirked, 'he's good, I hope they start dating soon because I can't lose the bet with the girls' Konrad thought.

Everyone went into the next room filled with Flying keys and a broom.

"What is this?" Asked Hannah.

"A bird?" Guessed Padma.

"More like a bunch of big dragonflies." Said Hermione.

"Maybe they are floating keys?" Said Luna.

"Flying keys? that's stupid, why would keys fly?" Padma asked.

"I think she's right actually. those really are flying keys!" Neville said.

"Then we need to find the right one and catch it on this broom." Konrad said.

"Suddenly a key fell on the ground with one of its wing severed. Konrad felt an invisible Cristal landing back on his shoulders.

"Or... we hope the right one would just fell in front of us due to the past damage?" Konrad said.

"Is that the right one?" Asked Padma.

"It looks old and big, and it's wings are damaged so most likely Konrad said. "Alright everyone to the doors, I don't know what would happen when I pick it up." He said.

They did so and Konrad grabbed the key. The swarm of keys suddenly rushed in his direction so he lunged to the door and opened it, letting everyone through, then he closed it before the keys reached them.

"Is that a..Chessboard?" Asked Luna.

"Yep. And we're probably supposed to play in it." Konrad said.

"But what if someone is taken down? Would they just let us go or..." Hannah asked now worried.

"It's probably Wizard chess so..." Konrad said.

"Oh my! We can't do this there to many of us here!" Said Padma.

"Well let me try something." Konrad said.

He walked to one of the figures whose head turned to him 'creepy' he thought. He used wandless spell to identify if the figure had any protection from breaking and grinned. He walked back and said to The others.

"So... who knows some blasting curses? Haha" Konrad said and then turned back to the chessboard.

"Bombarda maxima Dia!" Half of the chessboard and all black Figures became obliterated with a single spell of maximized and doubled bombarda. The explosion was big enough that the entire chamber shook and it was probably felt by every person in the castle.

"Are you bloody crazy Konrad?!" Shouted Hermione. " you could have dropped this whole chamber on our heads with this spell!

"Well... but it worked right? And the figures stopped moving altogether after... breaking... the...chessboard... Sorry, my lady I'll think more before casting stronger spells..." Konrad ended his speech with his head lowered acknowledging being in the wrong.

Hermione couldn't be angry at him for long so she smirked and kissed Konrad on the lips.

"Just be careful next time, alright?" She said looking him in the eyes.

Suddenly a loud squeak could be heard from the side, originating from their two girl friends.

""Finally!"" They said together.

"You have no idea how long we waited for you two to kiss finally!" Said Padma.

"Exactly!" Added Hannah.

Konrad and Hermione looked at the two of them shocked and then burst out laughing.

"W-why are you laughing?" Asked Padma.

"No it's just.. haha, you know we were together for a few years already? We just hid it from everyone. And it's also funny because we are waiting for you three for the same reason! Haha!" Hermione said.

"Hey! Don't take him all for yourselves Mione! It's my turn now!" Luna said and then lunged for Konrad catching his lips in hers shocking their three friends even more.

The explanations lasted for a while and Padma and Hannah were now feeling quiet jealous of their three friends, every once in a while sending longing glances toward Neville. Soon after they cooled down a little, Neville finally said.

"That's all awesome but.. where did you learn such a powerful spell?" He asked.

"Reading ahead and training magical control at home." Konrad said. "If you check fifth year's charms book you can find the spell and the spell modificators are not taught until seventh years. We can let you borrow our books if you want, Just take care of them or Hermione is going to murder you, haha."

"We'll take you on that offer, but wow! You are already so far ahead of us, It was awesome if a little to much." Said Hannah.

"A little?! HE WOKE UP HALF..."

"Alright let's go! Or you want Quirrell to get the stone?" Konrad stoped Hermione before she exploded again, and everyone went for the next room.

They passed a dead Mountain Troll and arrived at the potion room that was quickly surrounded with flames.

"What now?" Neville asked.

"Easy. Flame freezing charm for the go!" Konrad said and thrown the spell. The flames became safe to touch and he showed everyone how he could just pass his hand through them.

"So...we don't have to do the riddle?" Hermione said almost pleadingly, seeing a riddle requiring logic.

Konrad snorted and said.

I know how smart you are Hermione, yes we don't have to do it but I se no reason you couldn't do it if you want to." She beamed happily at his words and started reading the riddle again. It only took her fifteen seconds to solve it.

"Yes! The small one lets you go through the flames!"

Konrad smiled.

"Great now come we need to stop Quirrell!"

"Mhm!" She went after Konrad. Soon everyone were through the flames. Konrad stopped them from walking further and looked from behind the pillar at Quirrell, looking into the glass of the mirror of Erised. He turned back and whispered,

"He's there! What is the plan? We all go together, or what?" Konrad said.

"Maybe you should go alone? You know strong magic if anything happens. We can sneak around and surprise him." Said Neville.

"Hmm, alright lets do this. Here you can use this to hide." Konrad gave Neville his invisibility cloak.

"Your cloak? Thanks! It's going to be useful! But we won't all fit under it..." he said.

Konrad grinned.

"You don't have to all fit." He said mysteriously and looked at his girls. They grinned and Hermione tapped their heads with her wand making them both disappear.

"What!?" Asked their three friends.

"Disillusionment charm, pretty handy if you have no invisibility cloak but not as good as the cloak." Hermione explained still beside yet invisible.

"Ohh cool! Alright let's go then." Neville said and hid under the cloak.

Konrad walked into the room, wand in his hand. 'Alright let's play a game!'

"It's you?! No! It's impossible, it should have been Snape!" Konrad pretended.

"Ahh Potter, so you were the one who was destined to come, perfect! Yes it was me, Snape might look like it but he was actually trying to stop me. Ironic isn't it? No one would suspect P-Poor S-stuttering Professor Quirrell. Now where is this stone! I can see myself handing the stone to my master but where it is?!" Said Quirrell.

"Ussse the boy!" An evil sounding voice resounded from everywhere.

"Potter! Get over here!"(AN: FATALITY!) shouted Quirrell.

Konrad felt himself being wrapped in invisible force and a single thought came to his mind 'Huh weakling.' He could easily remove the invisible bindings but he didn't do it to let the play continue.

The friends agreed that they would attack only if they felt that Konrad was in any danger.

"Tell me what do you see?" Asked Quirrell.

Konrad looked into the mirror and saw himself putting a clearly fake stone into his pocket. He smirked realizing that because the stone is fake he wouldn't want to use it so the spell of Dumbledore would still work for him. He felt the stone still in the bag appearing in his pocket.

"I see my parents, cheering for me when I fly on my dragon mount chasing a snitch while a barely naked Dumbledore dances on a giant banana." Konrad said with all the seriousness he could muster.

Silence resounded. Neville and the girls fought with themselves to not burst out laughing. Then the evil voice resounded again.

"I-I think he'sss lying." Said the voice sounding not quiet sure of himself.

"T-the true Potter! What do you..."

"I'll talk with them." Said the voice.

"But master your not strong enough!" Replied Quirrell.

"I have enough strength for thisss."

Quirrell started unwrapping his turban and soon an extremely ugly face of Voldemort shoved itself on the back of his head.

"Moldyports!" Konrad suddenly exclaimed in a cheerful voice.

"What?!" Both Voldemort and Quirrell said completely confused. In the confusion Konrad shrugged off the binding and shouted.

"Flippendo!" The knockback jinx made the surprised Quirrellmort fall on the ground dropping his wand in the process.

""Stupefy!"" The spells fell from four directions, the source being Konrad his girls and Cristal. Everyone then appeared with their wands pointed at the unconscious Quirrellmort. What was surprising was that Voldemort was also unconscious.

Suddenly Professor Flitwick burst into the room with her wand up, and almost had a heart attack seeing the unconscious Voldemort's face on the back of Quirrell's head. Luna took it as a good moment to disappear with the invisibility cloak before Filius saw her. After talking quickly with Professor it turned out that the explosion that "someone" caused alarmed him and he instantly went down the third floor corridor because he remembered his previous conversation with Nevill Padma and Hannah. Seeing the unconscious dark lord and Konrad's words to instantly contact Amelia Bones woke him up. When he wanted to inform Dumbledore Konrad pointed that maybe they should not do it or he might just swipe it under the rug. In the end he admitted that calling the DMLE is the first priority. He lifted the unconscious body that he once again dosed with stupefy and went out of the room with the kids behind him.

Konrad checked the marauder's map and saw Dumbledore already in the castle getting straight for the third corridor. Konrad didn't want him to find them so when they were to pass each other he focused and made an illusion that hid them from each other causing Dumbledore to pass them by. He was to distracted to even spot the illusion and after this year of training Konrad was pretty proud of his illusion magic.

Everyone arrived in the office of Professor Filtwick. He called the head of DMLE through the Floo and soon Amelia bones with two Aurora came out of the fireplace.

"What is this thing that requires the head of DMLE to personally show up?" She asked, then she spotted Quirrellmort.

"I-Is this what I think it is?" She said shocked.

"I'm afraid so." Said Filtwick.

"And what are those children doing here?" She asked

"They are related to the case, being the ones who stopped him" replied Filtwick.

In the end everyone were interrogated not mentioning Luna as they agreed before. Dumbledore lost quiet a bit in the eyes of Amelia for hiding dangerous things at school. While Voldemort didn't reach trial because as soon as he woke up he ripped himself from Quirrell killing him in the process. But the damage was done. The DMLE learned about Voldemort still being "alive" and after a few suggestion from Konrad a silent cleaning of any death eaters started inside the ranks of the Aurora. Every Auror would come through a secret investigation under veritaserum and would be obliviated afterwards. After that similar process would go through the entire ministry to find all and every death eater at large, so they could later clear the place from all the death eaters at the same time. The process would take around a year but Amelia loved the idea. She didn't want anyone of them to join Voldemort if he ever tried to come back like today.

Konrad came back to school with the others grinning like mad.

That was a good day!
