"Next, Dumbledore ordered the prefects to lead their Houses back to their common rooms. If I wasn't so stunned as to the absolute stupidity of that I'd have probably laughed right there, irrespective of laughing at Quirrell's comedy faint. 'Dumb-dumb-dore' obviously couldn't care less for the safety and well-being of the Slytherins and Hufflepuffs, because he'd just ordered the prefects of both Houses to lead their housemates into the dungeons seconds after being told that's where a bloody troll was!"
Memory-Harry allowed that to percolate through the minds of the audience before he continued.
"Now while we Gryffindors were being led back up to the Gryffindor Tower by that pompous arse, Percy Weasley - and there's a young man who has his head stuck so far up his own arse it's amazing he can see anything - I already knew that my House- and Year-mate, Hermione Granger, had not been at the feast. Therefore, I easily deduced she would not be aware of the danger. I had also earlier overheard two of my housemates say she was in the girls' bathroom on the second floor, crying her eyes out.
"So, I grabbed the person who was responsible for her crying her eyes out in the first place - Ronald Weasley - and dragged him off in search of her, once we reached the second floor.
"Just as we reached the second floor... Well, watch for yourselves."
Memory-Harry faded away again and up in the same space began the memory of that incident, starting with the two boys running down the corridor towards the bathroom.
It caught the sound of Hermione screaming in terror; the two boys running into the bathroom; a quick plan to try and get Hermione out of there and out of danger; Harry managing to scramble up on the troll's back and shove his wand up its nose; Ron levitating the club and dropping it on the troll's head, knocking it out; and the teachers turning up a few seconds later. It ended there.
Memory-Harry popped back up and said, "And that's how we became three."
There was a slight pause while he let that cogitate before moving on.
"This next one is a detention Hermione, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy and I received after the first two and I were helping a friend out late at night. Draco Malfoy received his because Minerva McGonagall justly realised he had to also be out of his common room past curfew to have seen us to dob us in to her.
"At that point I thought McGonagall might not be as dumb as most wizards and witches had already proven to me they were. However, her detention proved she actually was as dumb as I think most magicals are, after all. And this is what happened."
The image changed into the four first years with Hagrid and his dog, Fang, going into the Forbidden Forest to find what was killing the unicorns; them splitting up under Hagrid's orders; Harry and Malfoy coming across 'something' feeding on the blood of an injured unicorn; it attacking them; and the immediate aftermath with the centaurs, before fading away.
"Now, colour me wrong," said Memory-Harry. "But, I was under the impression the Forbidden Forest was, in fact, forbidden. So, what the bloody hell was going through the minds of the staff of Hogwarts to have the school gamekeeper, a man no longer permitted to use a wand, take four eleven year olds with little to no magical education and trudge through the Forbidden Forest... at night... and going after something dangerous enough to injure or kill unicorns?
"Is it any wonder that, by then, my opinion of adult magicals left a lot to be desired? Even back then, as far as I was concerned adult witches and wizards are stupid!" "Professor McGonagall told us, while we waited in the antechamber off the Entrance Hall before our Sortings, that our Houses would be like our families. If that's the way families treat each other in the wizarding world, I find myself relieved I'm an only-child orphan!"
Pausing for a sigh, he continued, "Moving on! We now come to a few days short of the end of the school year. This is what had most people wondering what had happened to Quirinus Quirrell. And, what the bloody hell was down that out-of-bounds third floor corridor.
"We start from just after Hermione, Ron and I have entered that corridor. We were under the mistaken impression Severus Snape was trying to steal what we'd already learned to be Flamel's Philosopher's Stone being protected in that corridor."
Memory-Harry faded away. The next scene was of the eleven year old versions of Harry, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger entering the so-called out-of-bounds third floor corridor of the castle.
It showed Hermione using a first year unlocking charm, Alohomora, to unlock the door. The Cerberus, asleep while a magical harp played itself in the corner. Harry moving the Cerberus's foot off the trapdoor and Ron opening it. The three of then dropping down the resultant hole. And landing in the Devil's Snare.
Hermione then telling them to just relax and they'd drop through. The three dropping through one by one and coming out underneath it, before moving on to the room of flying keys. Harry taking one of the brooms aloft and catching the right key before the rest suddenly started chasing him. Him flinging the key into Hermione's hands and her unlocking the door with it. The three of them then ducking through the door and slamming it shut just in time to hear the keys ram the door on the other side.
Next came the chess-set. The memory showed portions of this with Memory-Harry stepping in and saying only portions of the game would be shown as it would take too long. Ron getting knocked off the knight and landing, unconscious, on the floor. Harry checkmating the opposing king. Both rushing to Ron's side. Hermione telling Harry he was breathing and, therefore, alive. And both going on.
As that memory faded away Memory-Harry then stepped forth again and explained, "Now, at this point, we're now down to two. However, I want you all to remember that, at this point, only one spell has been cast - the first year Alohomora charm. It took no advanced magic. This is something that every witch and wizard that's read the first year Charms book could have done. Every student, who was in Hogwarts at the time, could have done this."
He faded out and the memory continued. Harry and Hermione crossed through the room with the unconscious or dead troll in it. Then stepped into the room with the potions puzzle.
Hermione then quickly figured out the puzzle, picked up the right potions vial and offered it to Harry. Her telling him he was a great wizard and urging him to go on while she went back. She also showed him which vial to drink to go back. Took a swig of it herself and walked back out the way they walked in.
"And now we're down to one," said Memory-Harry.
In the memory Harry then chugged down the vial Hermione had given him and stepped through to go on.
