I just came back from London (I live in the U.S.)! I somehow managed to complete a chapter (even though it's sorta short) and write a weird one-shot for no purpose at all. Next chapter, (which should be up soon) is the last chapter in their first year, than two or three chapters for summer than second year!
SereniteRose- Thank you!
Spottedtail1000- Thank you and more good stuff is coming.

"Humph" Hermione groaned, "Back under Dumble's watchful eye!"
Draco snorted, "Old coot."
Hermione giggled, "Potter and Weasley stayed at school, no one wanted them!"
"Who would?" Pansy rolled her eyes grabbing handfuls of candy from the trolley which had pulled up to their door.
"We're almost there, better change into our robes." Daphne said, reaching into her bag and grabbing her set of robes.
"Welcome back! Welcome back!" Dumbledore remarked cheerfully at dinner.
"What is he wearing?!" Pansy said horrified at the headmaster's lemon yellow robes and matching pointed hat, little brown pointed shoes pointing out the bottom of his robes.
"Looks like a banana!" Theo butted in, grinning.
Blaise choked on his food looking at where Theo was pointing.
The next day Blaise caught a snippet of Potter, Weasley, and Longbottom's coversation.
"Potter said, and I quote, 'There are more challenges under fluffy I bet! It would be too easy to-'. That's all I heard. What were they talking about?"
"They said challenges, so Fluffy is a challenge, one of them apparently." Draco offered.
"What are the challenges for? Where are they?" Hermione said, writing the small piece of conversation down.
"Fluffy? What sort of challenge is that?" Theo laughed.
"A ridiculous but hard challenge, it was made by Dumbledore." Blaise logically pointed out.
"Fluffy sounds like a name." Hermione reasoned.
"What could be named Fluffy?" Daphne said.
"Maybe an animal?" Pansy cooed.
"A dangerous animal." Blaise said.
"Who would name such a dangerous animal Fluffy?" Theo asked.
Hermione exchanged a look with Blaise and Draco, "Hagrid."
"We should keep an eye on him." Blaise said.
"I'll ask my father tonight." Draco said.
"Yeah. Knowing your father, he probably has some kind of plan for us already." Pansy said giggling.
The next morning, Draco's eagle-owl came swooping in carrying a letter from his father.
Dear Draco,
You are correct in assuming I have a plan, Malfoy's always do. Keep an eye out and when Potter and his group decide to go into the trap door under Fluffy (who is a three headed dog), tell Uncle Severus that they are in the chamber to make it seem like you are worried for fellow students. Do not tell anyone other than Theo, Blaise, Hermione, Pansy and Daphne. Good job son.
Sincerely,
Father
"Uncle Severus?" Hermione giggled.
"He's my godfather!" Draco protested, blushing.
Blaise frowned, "Hardly fair."
"I'm good at potions already without knowing Uncle Severus!"
"Uncle Severus!" Daphne snorted.
"Back on subject though," Hermione interrupted, "Keep an eye on Hagrid and when they go, tell Professor Snape."
"Yeah." Theo said offhandedly than continuing to laugh at Draco's godfather.
"I just heard footsteps on the way to Fluffy's lair!" Draco said out of breath.
"Where's Professor Snape?" Hermione rushed over.
"I'll get him!" Theo yelled running out the door.
A couple minutes that felt like hours later, Professor Snape ran in getting pulled by Theo.
"What?" He asked, knowing it must be important.
"Potter, Weasley and Longbottom are going to rescue the philosophers stone!" Hermione said quickly. The surly professor understood and rushed out telling them he would get Dumbledore.
"Well. I guess we just wait?" Draco said sitting down.
