ELSA POV

"My scar keeps hurting" said harry and clutched his head

"And my hand freezes even when I am not doing anything" I said and rubbed my hands together

"Perhaps you should see the nurse" said ron

"I don't think it's something madam pomfrey can heal" I said looking at my hands

"I think it's a warning . It means danger is coming" harry said

Then I remembered yesterday

I looked at harry and he looked at me

"Are you thinking the same thing?" Asked harry

"Yeah" I said and we ran

"Don't you think it's odd , that what hagrid wants more than anything is a dragon , and a stranger shows up and just happens to have one?" Says harry

"I mean how many people wander with dragon eggs in their pockets , I figured that out yesterday only" I said

"Why didn't I see it before" harry said as we reached hagrid's hut

Hagrid was sitting on the rock beside his hut , playing with a flute

"Hagrid we have to ask you something" said anna

"Hagrid who gave you the dragon egg?" I asked

"What did he look like?" Asked harry

"I don't know . I never saw his face . He kept his hood up" hagrid replied

"The stranger though , you must have talked" ron said

"Well , he wanted ter know what kind o' creatures I look a'ter . I said 'after fluffy a dragon is no problem' " said hagrid

"And did he seem interested in fluffy?" Asked hermione

"Well ofcourse he was interested in fluffy , how often do you see a three-headed dog , even if you are in trade ? But I told him 'the trick with any beast is ter know how ter calm him , take fluffy for an example , play 'im a bit of a music and he falls straight ter sleep" hagrid said

We all looked at each other as hagrid kept repeating 'how he shouldn't have said that' and ran towards the castel

We ran straight to mcgonagall's office and stood infront of her desk panting

"We have to see professor dumbledore immediately" said harry

"I'm afraid professor dumbledore is not here . He received an urgent owl from the ministry of magic and left immediately to london" said mcgonagall

"He's gone ? Now?! But this is important" I said

"It's about ......The Sorcerers Stone" harry said

She looked at us in shock and said "how do you know...?"

"Someone's gonna try to steal it tonight" I said

"I don't know how you 5 found out about the stone , but I can assure you it's perfectly well protected . Now , will you go back to your dormitories? Quietly" she said

We left her classroom and walked in the corridor

"That was no stranger , hagrid met at the village . It was snape , which means , he knows how to get past fluffy" said harry

"And with dumbledore gone" hermione said

"Good afternoon , and what would 5 gryffindor , such as yourselves , be doing inside on a day like this?" Snape asked

"Sorry professor but for your kind information we students study here" I said

"You want to be carefully . People might think.....you are up to something" said snape

"And your tone of talking will not work with me miss. Scamander , so 10 points from gryffindor" snape continued and walked away

"So what are we gonna do?" Asked anna

"We go down the trapdoor. Tonight" said harry

ELSA POV

hermione, anna and  I met the boys in the common room and started leaving it when we came across

"Trevor" I said

"Trevor , shh go! You shouldn't be here" hermione said

And then from behind the toad came neville

"Neither should you" said neville

"You're sneaking out again , aren't you" neville continued

"Now neville listen" anna was cut of by neville

"No, I won't let you! You'll get gryffindor into trouble again! I-I will fight you" neville said pointing his wand towards us

"Neville I am really sorry about this" hermione said and drew her wand towards him

"Petrificus totalus" chanted hermione and neville froze and fell with a loud thump

"You're little scary sometimes . You know that? Brilliant, but scary" ron said and anna and I said at the same time

"Our ship" we whisper-yelled

"No no no come on "ron and hermione said dismissing us

We left the common room and went to the third floor

We opened the door to fluffy's room and saw the dog sleeping

"Shhhh we have to keep quiet , we can't have him waking up and seeing us" harry whispered and we tip-toed inside

We saw a harp playing itself that caused the huge dog to sleep

"Snape's already been here" anna said

Literally I believe it's quirell

"Ewwww he's got a horrible smell" said ron

"We have to move it's paw" I said

"What?" Ron said in disbelief

"Come on" hermione said and we tried to push his paw of the trap door

"Wait  does it seem a bit quite hear" I asked

"The harp ,It stopped playing" anna said as soon as she said that a drool fell on ron's shoulder

"Ehh yuck" he said disgusted

We all looked up and saw fluffy glaring at us

"Come on " I said and jumped through the trapdoor
