Sirius and James burst into the common room which, thankfully, was empty apart from Nancy and Cory.

“We know where it is!” Gasped Sirius, panting.

“What?”

“The Elf Stone!” James exclaimed. “It’s in a passage on the fourth floor, the one behind the mirror.”

“I thought that had caved in.”

“Maybe so, but we need to try to get in any way.”

The Four of them sprinted out of the common room and down to the fourth floor where they came to a stop in front of a large mirror.

“Well?” Cory asked, looking at James and Sirius for answers.

James shrugged, but Sirius had already taken out the Marauders map and was squinting down at his dot.

“Right.” He faced the mirror, apparently satisfied with what had to be done. “Dissendium!” He said, tapping his wand on the mirror.

The mirror slid open to reveal a dark passage. The Marauders all squeezed inside and the mirror slid shut behind them.

“Lumos.” Nancy and James had lit their wands.

“Maybe someone should stay here, and hold open the door.” Cory said. “In case there is another collapse or something?”

Sirius and James nodded.

“Ok, well me and Cory will do that.” Volunteered Nancy. She re-opened the mirror and the two of them stood in the gap.

James and Sirius moved along the passage. Bits of the ceiling above lay on the floor. Piles of rubble lay ahead. They mover further, and then suddenly Sirius slipped on the damp floor.

“AHH!”

He fell backwards, hitting his head on the wall behind.

“Are you…”

James’ voice was drowned out as a huge piece of the ceiling dropped from above. James grabbed Sirius by the arm and pulled him out the way. Large chunks of the roof came falling down where Sirius was a moment ago lying.

Then everything went still. James shone his wand back the way they had come. It was completely blocked.

“James? Sirius?” Nancy called out.

“We’re here, we’re ok!” Sirius yelled back, rubbing his head. “But we can’t get out, it’s completely blocked!”

“We’ll get some help!” Cory yelled. “Keep looking for the stone!”

James helped Sirius to his feet, and as Sirius opened his mouth to thank him his eyes caught sight of something in the wall behind.

“James!” He pointed over his cousin’s shoulder.

James turned. Both boys stared at the wall. There, set deep into the concrete, was a large Green gem, a huge crack down the middle of it.

“I bet this passage has been falling apart for years, and the stone finally got damaged.” Sirius said. “If we could just fix it…”

He raised his wand. “Reparo!”

Nothing happened.

“Maybe it wasn’t strong enough?” Asked James. The both of them cast the spell at the same time, but again, nothing happened.

“Let’s wait for the help to come.” Sirius said. “We can take the stone to Lupin or Tonks, they’ll know what to do.”

After what seemed like hours, James and Sirius suddenly sat up straight when they heard the unmistakeable sound of Cory’s voice.

“…through here sir, we know it’s down here but it collapsed again…”

“Sirius? James?”

Professor Fiddler’s voice rang out through the passage.

“Here, Sir!” James yelled. “We’re here!”

“Stand back, both of you.” Lupin’s voice ordered. “Reducto!”

The rubble was blasted apart, revealing a hole big enough for a person to step through.

“Boys.” Fiddler acknowledged. “What on earth…”

“Sir, we’ve found the House Elf Stone.”

Fiddler and Lupin stepped through the hole, and stared at the Stone.

“You’re right, it’s definitely the Stone.” Lupin agreed, and Sirius could hear interest in his voice.

“Can you fix it Sir?”

“I think so.” Lupin cast the same spell Sirius and James had tried, but again, nothing happened.

“I may require assistance.” Lupin added. “Sirius? James? Care to lend your magical ability?”

Sirius, James, Lupin and Fiddler, all raised their wands and said “Reparo!” Immediately the large crack in the Stone Sealed, and the Stone itself glowed green.

“A job well done I should think.” Fiddler said cheerfully. “We’ll find somewhere safer for the Stone, but first things first; I’ll go and see if there is any difference in the House Elves.”

The Stone had an immediate effect. In less than a day the sick elves had returned to their usual selves, and Sirius received a letter from home the following morning assuring him that Dobby was back to his old self.

All four Marauders received 50 House points each for their successful rediscovery of the Stone, which put Gryffindor House Ninety points in the lead for the House cup.

Remus Lupin recited the exciting adventure to Albus Dumbledore who listened carefully to the activities of Harry Potter’s only son.

“Ah, the young.” Dumbledore smiled. “So many outrageous ideas, and yet, half the time those ideas are to be considered higher than those of any adult, as Sirius and his friends have proved.”

Lupin chuckled to himself as he finished the letter addressed to “Harry Potter, 12 Grimmauld Place.”

As he left the room, Dumbledore set himself back in his painted chair, closed his eyes, and recalled the moment many years ago when a twelve year old Harry Potter had stood in his office, covered in blood and gripping the sword of Godric Gryffindor.

“Ah, the young.” He muttered once again.
