Authors note: I am incredibly sorry for not updating lately but I am preparing for my exams and it might take a while till I update again. I might be able to during the May half-term holiday but I am most defiantly updating after June the thirteenth.
Ron and Hermione were sitting in the common room doing some reading on their animagus forms when Harry came in looking rather depressed.
"Bad Qudditch practice?" Hermione asked when Harry sat down
"No even worse Mione, Snape is planning on being the referee for the Hufflepuff match"
"Don't play" Hermione said immediately
"Say you're ill" Ron said
"Pretend you have broken your leg" Hermione said
"Really break your leg" Ron said
Harry raised an eyebrow "I don't think Snape will kill me right there in front of the whole school"
"He did the last match what's not going to stop him this time?" Hermione said shrugging
"Remember what Melanie said?" Harry said "Snape has a reason to be loyal to Dumbledore and that loyalty is not going to end because the reason is something very powerful and binding"
Hermione rolled her eyes "well that's cryptic." She shut her book and shoved it back into her bag "the powerful and binding reason might be you, get rid off you, no more loyalty to Dumbledore"
Harry laughed hysterically at Hermione's idea as he did the portrait door opened and Neville was jumping up and down tripping over something and landed on Harry.
"Sorry Harry" he mumbled.
"It's all right Nev" Harry said pushing Neville off of him "what happened?" Harry got up and helped Neville into a chair.
"Malfoy is what happened, he wanted to practice a new spell on me" Neville sighed "I'm useless at times, maybe I should have been sorted into Hufflepuff"
"No you're not useless; you are amazing at herbbiology and a descent wizard. The sorting hat has put you in Gryffindor for a reason you know"
Hermione took the jinx of Neville and handed him a chocolate frog "uncle Moony always says chocolate is the best cure"
Neville smiled weakly and began to eat the frog, he looked at the card and sighed "Dumbledore again" he muttered placing the card onto the table "well see you guys later I need to sort out some homework"
Harry picked up the card and scanned the info on the back, the exact info that he memorized "hey guys I found Nicholas Flamel" he said
"Let me get this straight, Harry figured out who Nicholas Flamel was without looking for him?" Sirius asked
Luna nodded
"And his next match will go through smoothly?"
Luna nodded again
"And for some reason no matter what happens I must not yell at Hermione and Harry when they get a detention in May?"
"Yep" Luna said popping the 'p'.
"Why do I not like the sound of this?"
"Because you are an over-protective dog?" Luna said smiling
"Oi! Cheek"
"Hagrid has a dragon" Hermione said slowly
"Yes" Harry said
"And he won't give it away"
"Yep" Ron mumbled
"And he's calling it Norbert"
"Uhuh" Neville said
"HAS HAGRID GONE COMPLETELY INSANE??" Hermione shouted scaring the boys.
"Yes" all three of them mumbled
"And here was me thinking we'll have a normal term this time round" Hermione said
