Harry begins having recurring nightmares of the green light and his parents dying. Despite this, he no longer searches for the Mirror of Erised. When classes resume, the three children realize that they still have not learned anything about Nicolas Flamel. Harry has been particularly busy with Quidditch. The team has been practicing for the match against Hufflepuff, where Snape will be the referee. Ron and Hermione insist that Harry should sit this game out, but Harry wants to play and win the game for Gryffindor.
Neville stumbles into the room with his legs cursed together. He tells them that Malfoy did it, but he’s not filing a complaint. Neville is near tears, and Harry tells him, “You’re worth twelve of Malfoy […]. The Sorting Hat chose you for Gryffindor, didn’t it? And where’s Malfoy? In stinking Slytherin” (174). They comfort Neville with a Chocolate Frog, and he gives Harry the card. Glimpsing the text on the card, Harry is reminded that Flamel worked with Dumbledore in alchemy. Hermione runs off and returns with a large book. In the book, they read that Flamel is the only person who has succeeded in making a Sorcerer’s Stone, which can turn metal into gold and give its owner immortal life.
