"So close to getting ris of that thing....."
Siging heavily, Harry looked around and saw a full length body mirror. Stepping up to it, he looked in to it. His reflection smiled and held up a rock and put it in his pocket. Feeling a weight in his own pocket, Harry pulled out the stone he saw in the mirror.
Setting the rock on the ground, he muttered, "Immortality? Not if I can help it?"
He held his hand over the Sorceror's stone and started chanting.
"Vibration blast!"
The large rock couldn't take the punishment that Harry inflicted upon it and broke into eight smaller shards and some dust. Harry took a breath and was about to fire another shot into the rock, when a voice interuppted him.
"I don't think you need to do that anymore."
Looking up, Harry saw Dumbledore leaning against the wall looking amused.
"Find it, but not use it. You didn't want to use it, you wanted to destroy it," Dumbledore chuckled. "The mirror I hid the stone in worked by preventing anyone from finding it. If they didn't want to use the stone, they would find it."
Harry sighed, "I guess I should apolgize to Snape. I thought he was trying to kill me, when it was Quirrell here. Don't worry, he's still alive. I just wanted to hold him in place."
Dumbldore looked at the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and shook his head sadly. "He'll be shipped off to Akzaban, after being brought to trial."
Harry shook his head and picked up one of the shards. "What's going to happen to this?"
"First, tell me why you wanted to destroy it, Dumbledore said.
Harry shrugged and told him about the Dark Ages of his world. The Headmaster winced at the death toll.
"I see," Dumbledore said, gathering up the other seven pieces and dust. "Now, tell me what happened here."
Harry took a deep breath and did so.
"If I had gotten off the Elemkia Flame faster, I would have been rid of Voldemort."
Dumbledore put the remaining pieces of the Sorceror's Stone into a small bag and looked at the piece that Harry was holding out towards him.
Taking the piece, Dumbledore said, "At least you understand that immortality is a trap, not a blessing."
The Headmaster of Hogwarts looked over to a wall and started chuckling again.
"For the first time in over thirty years, Hufflepuff is going to win the cup. I guess everyone was so distracted by you and the Slytherin/Gryffindor feud that they didn't pay attention to the other two houses."
Harry shrugged, "I have no problem with that. At least I know I was part of the reason that Slytherin isn't winning the cup this year."
Dumbledore held up the bag. "Now back to your question. I was going to do the same thing as you, but I have some other ideas in mind for it now. It has nothing to do with immortality or creating gold. I'll call Fudge and this can be wrapped up. I'd better alos give the points to you and the others before the feast."
Haryy and Dumbledore left the room. Harry stopped every so often to repair the damage he had done with a variaton of Vu Vrymer that he had learned from Lina
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
At the Leaving Feast, the hall was decorated in the colors of Hufflepuff, much to the disgust of the Slytherin crowd and the amusement of the other three houses.
Ron said to Harry, "It's too bad we couldn't win the House Cup."
Harry smiled wickedly. "This is probably worse for Slytherin. The one house that they brushed off as no real threat to their superiorty is now on top."
Ron thought about that and laughed, as he realized the truth of Harry's words.
Hermione asked, "So, Harry what are you going to do over break?"
"Try to get my color and then head over to Xoana," Harry replied.
"Xoana?" Hermione asked.
"If I recall correctly, there's a book that is only pulled out once every five hundred years. I want to take a look at the book. I also have the feeling that my sister Lina will be there also."
Small pieces of paper appeared in front of everyone, save Harry.
George picked up the paper with a resigned sigh. "I was really hoping that they'd forget to pass these out this year."
Curious, Harry asked, "What is it?"
Fred answered him, "It's just telling students not to cast magic over break."
George and Fred looked at each other and then at Harry.
Fred asked, "Didn't you get one?"
Harry shrugged, "No. I live in another world. How can they enforce it? Besides, I was casting magic before I came here."
The others at the Gryffindor table looked a bit disgusted, but let it slide. Harry mentally chuckled to himself.
Everyone started eating, enjoying the feast. Harry looked towards the table where Quirrell would have been.
'Fudge is an idiot,' Harry thought, and looked at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore looked Harry directly in the eyes and shook his head sadly. Harry sighed and went back to eating, astounding everyone with how much he could put away.

At Diagon Alley, Hagrid was talking with Harry.
Hagrid said, "I told you he was still around."
"True. But if Voldemort hadn't have fled, I would have ended it right there."
Harry, seeing Hagrid's flinch, said, "I'm not afraid of him, Hagrid. He fled from me, not the other way around. Just be glad it wasn't my sister Lina down there."
Hagrid shook his head. "Well Harry, I hope you take care of yourself while you're away."
"I'll see you when you come to pick me up. Maybe you can bring Ron and Hrmione with you, they might enjoy seeing what my world looks like."
"I'll talk to Dubledore about that."
With that, Harry used his talisman to dimension jump with his pet back to his home in Zephillia
