Chapter 17 - The Man with two faces

Chapter 17 - The Man with two faces

To Harry′s surprise he stands in front of Professor Quirrell, desperately trying to get the Philosopher′s Stone out of the mirror. Now the function of the glass stands the test. Because of despair the stuttering Professor let finally fall the covers and Harry discovers his arch-enemy. You-Know-Who as a parasite in the foreign body. The boy bravely faces the power of the dark lord. After he is able to hold the attack off himself and the first shock about the behaviour of Quirrell, when he touches Harry, Harry uses this and banishes Voldemort out of the school.
After the fight Professor Dumbledore tells Harry about the destruction of the Philosopher′s Stone. With Hermione and Ron he sadly goes to the last meal of the year. The Great Hall is decorated with the flags of the Slytherins, who apparently wins the house cup. However, as soon as Professor Dumbledore gives away the last points, it is clear who is the winner - it is Gryffindor.
