It is Quirrell whom Harry sees in the room, not Snape. [I Can’t Believe It Was You by Eyes Like Mine] Harry, astonished, hears Quirrell tell him that, next to Snape, no one would expect him to try to steal the Stone and that Snape was actually protecting Harry. [The Stone by Harry and the Potters ] Harry notices the Mirror of Erised, and Quirrell stops to examine it, saying it is the key to getting the Stone. To distract him from the Mirror, Harry questions Quirrell, who says he is serving Lord Voldemort, and although Snape hated Harry because of his father, he never wanted Harry dead. [Voldemort by Sea Turtle Harmonic] He explains how Snape and Harry’s father went to school together when they were younger, and how it was there where their hatred against each other started. Quirrell asks for help from his master to get the Stone, and a snake-like voice tells him to use the boy.[Albanian Forest by Gyantess] Harry is told to look into the Mirror. He sees his reflection pull the Stone out of his pocket and put it back in, and Harry feels it drop into his own pocket. [Sorcerer’s Stone by Lily and James]  He tells Quirrell that he sees himself shaking hands with Dumbledore, after winning the House Cup for Gryffindor. The snake-like voice tells Quirrell Harry is lying and Quirrell takes his turban off to show Harry what lies on the back of his head. As Quirrell turns around, Harry is shocked to see another face where the back of Quirrell’s head should be. [There’s A Face (In The Back Of My Head) by Alas Earwax!] The face has red eyes and a snake-like slit where the nose should be. Harry realizes this is the face of Voldemort and Voldemort demands Harry give him the Stone. [Viva la Voldemort by the 8th Horcrux] Harry refuses and runs, but Quirrell seizes him. However, the contact with Harry’s skin burns Quirrell and causes him to have boils all over the area in which Harry touched him. [The Unseen Mark Of Love by Ollivander]  Harry grabs Quirrell’s face, then his arm, and holds on, with the blinding pain in his head building, until he feels the arm wrenched away before he blacks out.

He awakes in the hospital wing with Dumbledore there, telling him Quirrell did not succeed at getting the Stone, and indeed the Stone has been destroyed. [You’re a Hero by The Veelas] In spite of this, there are other ways in which Voldemort can return. He cannot be killed, and he left Quirrell to die. Dumbledore explains the reason why Quirrell could not touch Harry was because Harry’s mother had died to save him, protecting him with her love. [The Chosen One by Miranda Puffskein] Harry also told Dumbledore about what Quirrell mentioned to him earlier regarding Snape hating Harry due to hatred for his father. Dumbledore responds that Snape was only grudgingly protecting Harry this year to pay off a debt he owed due to James Potter saving his life during their Hogwarts years. [Beans by RiddleTM] Harry then receives a visit from Ron and Hermione, who reveals that Slytherin came in first for the House Cup and, with Harry unable to play in the championship Quidditch match, Ravenclaw easily won the match, before Madam Pomfrey forces them out. [Poppy In August (1991) by The First Task Is Dragons] Hagrid shows up later and gives Harry a book of photos of his parents and family. [Lakeside Friends by Hollow Godric]

The following day, at the end-of-term feast, Dumbledore awards some last-minute points for the recent events. [I Love Hogwarts by the 8th Horcrux] He gives Ron and Hermione fifty points each, and Harry sixty, which places them in a tie with Slytherin for first place. Dumbledore then recognizes that while it is hard to stand up to enemies, it is even harder to stand up to friends as Neville did, and he awards Neville 10 more points, which was the most house points Neville had ever gotten. [Alohomora by Pogo] This puts Gryffindor in the lead and the winners of the House Cup, to much rejoicing from everyone but the Slytherins. Not only were Gryffindor students happy, but Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were happy to see Slytherins downfall. Soon, their trunks are all packed, and they take the Hogwarts Express back towards the muggle world. [Leaving Hogwarts by Sea Turtle Harmonic] Harry, Ron, and Hermione all say their goodbyes before heading home. [Leaving Isn’t Going Home by The Weirdos Are Out] [Going Back To Privet Drive Blues by The Dumbledore’s Army Band]
