Dumbledore and Flamel Pov.

"We searched for two months. And nothing. The elves scoured the entire castle looking for a red stone. Nothing. They even searched through the Lost and Found room. Where all the useless and forgotten things end up in Hogwarts. They only brought a few rubies and that was it." Dumbledore said as he sipped on his fire whiskey.

"Yes" Nicolas said in a sombre tone. He had thought that the stone would end up in his hands by now. But it seems like this thief is smarter than he gave him credit for. They have searched throughout the castle. In hidden rooms. Yet there was no sign of the stone.

"Well then Albus. Is there someplace else that we haven't looked in?"

Dumbledore thought about it and nodded "Yes. Mr. Potters Quarters and the Chamber of Secrets, are the only ones i can think of"

"Chamber of Secrets? I don't recall ever hearing about that" Flamel said with a raised eyebrow and a slightly accusing tone. They have searched for two months yet now he finds the need to tell him about another room.

Dumbledore sighed he really wished he didn't have to deal with Nicolas for the past two months. He makes scheming extremely difficult because the man does his best to annoy him. "A hidden room made by Salazar Slytherin. Its only accessible to their bloodline and must be opened with a Parselmouth.

The chamber can't be forced to open. I have tried getting in. If we force our way through. The entrance will collapse. And the chamber will be blocked forever."

"And do pray tell who has any blood relation to Slytherin at the moment"

"Tom Riddle or as he is known now as Voldemort."

Flamel chuckled "You must really regret killing his host now"

Dumbledore just gave him a pointed look. "I don't believe its in Mr. Potters room. He was there with me when the theft happened. And his position makes it politically difficult for me to make a move on him. There is also the fact that I don't want to go in his room. Over the past few months that he has been here. There have been regular explosions happening in his room due to his potion experiments.

And he is the type of petty person that would most likely put some of those unstable mixtures as a trap for someone who gets his password wrong."

"Ahh yes." Nicolas smiled "That boy is interesting. I assumed that he would rush in to learn Alchemy from me like all the other students. But the boy didn't give me the time of day. How refreshing.. and wise of him. Due to his connections with Vincent. He can easily get some Alchemy teachers to teach him what i teach now in classes here. So he focuses his time on further improving himself."

Nicolas stood up and patted his knees "Well lets see this Chamber shall we?"

"Why? We can not open it. Not without Voldemort doing it for us"

Flamel clicked his tongue a few times. "Have you learned nothing from me? Just because 'You' can't do it. That doesn't mean someone else can't."

~ King's Cross Station

Harry and his group just got out of the train and naturally he was surrounded by reporters.

Despite hating people he was still polite to the press. Only an idiot would mouth off to the journalists and reporters. Good public image means better sales for him. More money = More experiments.

"Okay everybody. I don't have a lot of time on my hand so how about you ask quick questions and I answer them. I don't want to bother other people"

The reporters quickly started their questions. Harry Potter was a hot topic. And everybody was interested in anything that he does.

~"Lord. Potter How was Hogwarts in your opinion"

"Boring"

~"How were the classes"

"Lacking"

~"What are your opinions on the new teacher the famous Immortal Alchemist. Nicolas Flamel"

"Don't know, never spoke to the man, I don't attend his classes either"

~"Excuse me but why not? Didn't you say you would like to learn all magic."

"I'm constantly improving my skills as a potioneer and looking to improve my Pots. And I am still young. There is time for me to learn alchemy later"

~"Did you like Quidditch?".

...

After a few more minutes Harry ended the interview and started walking towards Andromeda and Ophelia who were waiting for them.

"MOM!" Astoria rushed to Ophelia who gladly hugged her daughter. She missed her daughters a lot, this was the first time they were separated for this long.

Even the reserved and serious Daphne went in for a hug.

Andy hugged her daughter "Nymphadora I trust you haven't been a good role model for these girls" 

"Don't Call Me THAT!" The older girl whined while her hair shifted into red and orange colours.

Andy sighed "Guess I was right. Hope thank you for keeping everybody in line" she turned to the Tribrid who blushed a bit under the prise. "It was no problem Ms. Tonks"

"I'll see you guys later, I'm going to get a small gift for Melinda and Bella" Harry said with a small smile. They had already talked about this before. Harry was playing the nice guy for the public.

"Take care" Andromeda just gave him a small wave.

"There will be food ready when you come back" Ophelia commented as she hugged her daughters.

Hope just stared intensely at him, as if transmitting a message through her eyes.' Please don't do anything stupid'

Harry only replied with a small smirk, before he snapped his fingers. In a span of a single second he disappeared bit by bit.

"As expected of him" Tonks only sighed. An eleven year old just pulled off a wandless Disillusionment charm. It took her so long to get that one right.

Hope sniffed the air. "No sound or scent either. And I think there is a repulsion ward around him, one that makes people unconsciously move away, like they are walking into a street sign"

Tonks deadpanned "That's a bit overkill aunt it?"

Hope looked at her with the same face "That's Harry. His middle name is Overkill"

"Ahhh. Yeah I can see that" Tonks nodded wisely "Whatever. Screw the mad scientist. For now there is only one thing that matters. FOOD!!" she fist pumped

"ICE CREAM!" Little Astoria also raised her hand in the air. During the train ride Tonks corrupted her into the 'Way of the Foodie.'

Andromeda facepalmed when she saw her daughter. ' Good grief girl. You are 17 years old. You should not be on the same mental wave link as a child'

"Lets just go home" Andromeda sighed and the group started to walk away.

~ Forbidden Forest. 

POP

10 meters above the trees Harry apparated in. He slowed down his momentum using a spell and landed on a tree branch

'Lets finish this quickly and leave.

 Harry goes inside the chamber from the entrance in the Dark Forest. He goes invisible again and reaches a certain boulder. He lifts it up and there was a stone staircase leading underground.

'Salazar was a slick bastard. He had tunnels in and out of Hogwarts. As expected of him.'

Harry turned into a crow and flew through the tunnel, the exit or entrance was actually hidden in the ceiling of the Chamber.

When Harry reached the floor he glanced at the Marauders Map just in case. Only to see two names walking together on the second floor.

Albus and ṄiC0l@s Fl4ḿél

...

...

He quickly snapped out of it. Both of them have searched for the Stone a lot over the past few months. He doubted Dumbledore could get past the defences of the room, since it would cave in if someone tried to enter forcefully. But this was a big suprise.

 'What the actual fuck. Does he hide his true name. Is this even his real name, or just the name he allowed Hogwarts to see through to get inside the castle.

I knew that old man was such a bullshit cheat. No way you live 600 years in this world without becoming High-Class at the bare minimum. And I stole from him... I do not want to go anywhere near him.'

Harry's mind raced. If he leaves the stone. They will surely find it. Even if he transmutes the surface. A master like Flamel would be able to notice it. And if he hides it the regular way without any magic. A 'Revelio' could find it.

And he doesn't want to let out the basilisk. Since he plans to kill and harvest it later on. He can't take it outside of Hogwarts. As Flamel would be able to track it anywhere.

'Fuck. I need some advice' Harry pulled out the Resurrection stone

"Salazar Slytherin. Salazar Slytherin. Salazar Slytherin."

The next moment an ethereal green figure appeared in front of him.

"Well I didn't expect you to call me this soon. Especially in my chamber. Have you come for my legacy." Salazar said with a smile as he turned around taking in the view of his chamber.

"No time. Enemies approaching. I have something extremely valuable hidden here and they are after it. One of them is an old wizarding alchemist who has lived for 600 years. So him breaking in here is entirely possible. Do you have any other secret rooms in here?"

To say Salazar was stunned was an understatement. A wizard living for 600 years? Calling him powerful wouldn't do it justice.

Salazar sighed "Sorry niño" (child)

"This chamber was hidden in the first place. Why would I have more hidden rooms? It didn't seem worthwhile to do."

Harry clicked his tongue. But didn't blame the man. Their time as researchers is valuable. Why waste it on doing useless things.

"Thanks. I'll call you soon for your legacy. But now I'm a bit busy" Harry said to the man as he grabbed the stone from its hiding place along with the Elixirs.

"Good luck" Salazar disappeared leaving Harry all alone. But in the next moment the Chamber started to shake. 'They are in'

Harry sat down and used Occlumency along with some Magecraft spells to speed up his thought process. Trying to find a way out of this situation. His mind raced, going through any possible situations. So much so that he got a nose bleed from overusing the spells.

A few seconds later he got it. 'I'm so fucking stupid.'

Harry stood up and whipped the blood from his nose. He hid any traces of him being here and left through one of the exits.

A few minutes later he was outside. He put on the Peverell Cloak and activated it. Only a true Peverell he can use the true power of the cloak. The cloak disappeared instead it turned into a kind of mist that clung to his clothes and skin. The cloak allows someone to bypass wards and any kind of detection.

Harry reached the entrance of Hogwarts and floated up to one of the Gargoyles on the castle wall.

'I'm an idiot. I should have done this from the start. What better place to hide something then in plain sight. No one pays any attention to these things. As they aren't even part of Hogwarts defences. They are just for ascetics. 

And Hogwarts elves don't even bother to clean them. Since it rains a lot here the rain does it for them. Allowing the elves to focus on the inside of the castle.'

Harry tapped his wand on one of the Gargoyle's hands that held a small stone orb.

He made the stone orb hollow and created an opening. He placed the Philosophers stone inside and closed up the opening. This was a near perfect transmutation as only a small opening was changed on the surface. And the inside was hollow.

Its almost impossible to tell. Especially with all the weather the stone has had to endure over the years. They would think that small part was due to weather damage.

Once he was done. Harry floated down. And quickly left. Leaving no trace of him ever being there. 'Now i can relax. But fuck that was a close call. Flamel is a bigger problem than I initially thought. I'm going to need countermeasures. But for now. I need a drink.'

Harry went back into the Dark Forest and started his teleportation's and random apparitions until he finally decided it was safe enough to go home.

Opinions on the chap. The idea about the Gargoyle came to me while i was at work. I had planned for something else initially. But i think this is much better.
