Adria's POV

Exams are over, hallelujah. I still helped Draco study, even though he was a coward. I'm pretty sure I passed everything. The Patil twins invited me to hang out with them. But I declined, wanting to spend time with my sister. Even though she is hanging out with Harry and Ron.

We're all by the lake relaxing. I'm sitting on a branch reading with Nancy perched on my shoulder. "No more studying" Ron says happily as he lays on the grass. "You could look more cheerful, Harry. We've got a week before we find out how badly we've done. There's no need to worry yet" he states.

I notice Harry rubbing his scar and frown in concern. "I wish I knew what this means!" he exclaims in frustration. "My scar keeps hurting -- it's happened before, but never as often as this" he tells us.

"Go to Madame Pomfrey" Hermione and I suggest. Ron groans. He hates when Hermione and I talk in unison like that.

"I'm not ill" Harry tells us. "I think it's a warning, it means danger's coming" he states.

"What danger? Hogwarts the safest place in the wizarding world" I tell him.

"Harry, relax, Adria's right. The Stone's safe as long as Dumbledore's around" Ron states. "Anyway, we've never had any proof Snape found out how to get past Fluffy. He nearly had his leg ripped off once, he's not going to try it again in a hurry. And Neville will play Quidditch for England before Hagrid lets Dumbledore down" he states.

Right, they still believe it's Snape. Where as I know it's Quirrell. I keep forgetting to tell Hermione. Just been so focused on exams and helping Draco study. I haven't had time to have a private conversation with my sister.

Harry nodded, but he couldn't shake off a lurking feeling that there was something he'd forgotten to do, something important. "That's just the exams. I woke up last night and was halfway through my Transfiguration notes before I remembered we'd done that one" Hermione tells him.

"Man, it sucks to be you all" I chuckle.

"We can't all have an eidetic memory" Hermione states. Nancy takes off and heads for the owlery. No doubt to sleep. Harry suddenly jumped to his feet.

"Where are you going?" Ron asks with a yawn.

"I've just thought of something" Harry states turning white. "We've got to go and see Hagrid, now" he states. Heading for Hagrid's hut and we follow him.

"Why?" Hermione asks him.

"Don't you think it's a bit odd, hat what Hagrid wants more than anything else is a dragon, and a stranger turns up who just happens to have an egg in his pocket?" he asks us. "How many people wander around with dragon eggs if it's against wizard law?" he asks. Good point. "Lucky they found Hagrid, don't you think? Why didn't I see it before?" he mutters.

Hagrid was sitting in an armchair outside his hut. His trousers and sleeves were rolled up. As he plays a wooden flute. "Hello" he says with a smile. "Finished yer exams? Got time fer a drink?" he asks us.

"Yes, please" Ron says.

"No, we're in a hurry. Hagrid, I've got to ask you something. You know that night you won Norbert? What did the stranger you were playing cards with look like?" Harry asks him.

"Dunno, wouldn't take his cloak off" Hagrid answers. "It's not that unusual, yeh get a lot o' funny folk in the Hog's Head -- that's the pub down in the village. Mighta bin a dragon dealer, mightn' he? I never saw his face, he kept his hood up" he explains.

"What did you talk to him about, Hagrid? Did you mention Hogwarts at all?" Harry asks him.

"Yeah. . . he asked what I did, an' I told him I was gamekeeper here. . . He asked a bit about the sorta creatures I took after. . . so I told him. . . an' I said what I'd always really wanted was a dragon. . . an' then. . . I can' remember too well, 'cause he kept buyin' me drinks. . . Let's see. . . yeah, then he said he had the dragon egg an' we could play cards fer it if I wanted. . . but he had ter be sure I could handle it, he didn' want it ter go ter any old home. . . So I told him, after Fluffy, a dragon would be easy" Hagrid explains.

"And did he seem interested in Fluffy?" I ask him.

"Well -- yeah -- how many three-headed dogs d'yeh meet, even around Hogwarts? So I told him, Fluffy's a piece o' cake if yeh know how to calm him down, jus' play him a bit o' music an' he'll go straight off ter sleep" he states. Hagrid suddenly looked horrified. "I shouldn'ta told yeh that!" he exclaims. "Forget I said it!" he shouts and we run for the castle. Ignoring his shouts at us to stop.

We didn't stop until we reached the entrance hall. "What now?" I ask them.

"We've got to go to Dumbledore" Harry states. "Hagrid told that stranger how to get past Fluffy, and it was either Snape or Voldemort under that cloak -- it must've been easy, once he'd got Hagrid drunk. I just hope Dumbledore believes us. Firenze might back us up if Bane doesn't stop him. Where's Dumbledore's office?" he asks me.

"It's in the headmasters tower, the west tower" I tell him.

"What are you four doing inside?" McGonagall asks.

"We want to see Professor Dumbledore" Hermione tells her.

"See Professor Dumbledore? Why?" she asks.

"It's a secret" Harry states.

"Professor Dumbledore left ten minutes ago" she states. "He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and flew off for London at once" she tells us.

"He's gone?" Harry asks shocked.

"Professor it's about the Philosopher's stone" I tell her.

"How do you know..." she starts to ask.

"Professor, I think -- I know -- that Sn -- that someone's going to try and steal the Stone" Harry tells her. She eyed him with a mixture of shock and suspicion. She told us that DUmbledore will be back tomorrow.

"I don't know how you found out about the Stone, but rest assured, no one can possibly steal it, it's too well protected" she states before leaving.

"What do we do now?" Ron asks.

"Whoever's after the stone, is obviously going after it tonight" I state. I have to tell Snape.

"Good afternoon" Snape says and we turn to look up at him. "You shouldn't be inside on a day like this" he tells us. "Hanging around like this, people will think you're up to something" he states. Before setting off in the direction of the staff room.

"It's up to us, we go through the trap door tonight" Harry states.

"Someone has to warn Dumbledore" I tell them. "I'll go to the owlery and send him a letter. Do you think you can handle buying time?" I ask.

"Of course" Harry says.

"Be careful Hermione" I tell her.

"You too" she tells me.

"We'll go get my cloak, wait until the others are asleep before heading to the third floor" Harry tells me.

"Ok, good luck" I tell them. Before going to my common room. I go to a desk and write a letter for Dumbledore. Before going to dinner. After dinner, I go to Snape's office.

"What did I tell you about being out after hours Granger?" he asks me.

"I still have thirty minutes until curfew" I state. "But this is important professor, someone is going to try steal the philosopher's stone tonight. Harry and the other two are going to go try stop them. I'm on my way to owl Dumbledore" I tell him.

"You sure?" he asks me.

"Yes, the person who gave Hagrid Norbert found out how to get past Fluffy. Hagrid never saw his face. And Dumbledore is away" I state.

"A perfect time to struck" he states. "Go to the owlery, alert Dumbledore. I'll head to the third floor" he tells me. I nod my head and left. I ran to the owlery and noticed Nancy not there. I curse. I hear a hoot and turn to see Budo.

"Budo, come" I say and he flies down to me. "I know I usually give you letters for Draco. But this is for Professor Dumbledore. He's in London at the ministry of magic. Please fly there as fast as you can" I plead. He nods taking the letter and flew out the window.

I then go to the third floor. I find Fluffy snarling at the trap door. I notice a harp and head over to it quietly. I start to play it and Fluffy looks at me snarling. "Ah ah ah, la la" I sing as I play. Fluffy starts to feel sleepy. I continue to play until Dumbledore appears. At the same time Hermione appears with an unconscious Ron.

"Professor Dumbledore, Harry went after the stone alone. Snape appeared and went after him" Hermione states.

"Get Mr Weasley to the hospital wing. Severus and I will handle it from here" he states. I helped Hermione get Ron to the hospital wing. Where they were both treated by Madame Pomfrey. Soon Snape and Dumbledore appeared with an unconscious Harry. Hermione and I explained our versions of tonight's event.

"I'm so proud of you Hermione" I say with a smile.

"It was nothing really" she mumbles. McGonagall appears. She escorts Hermione and the now awake Ron back to Gryffindor tower. While Snape escorted me to mine.

"You did well Miss Granger, ten points to Ravenclaw" he states before leaving. I answer the riddle and enter my common room. I head to my dorm and got ready for bed. Before calling it a night
