In Harry's part of the story, They are walking in the grass,glad,that exams is over,but somebody is distracted.
"No more studying," Ron sighed happily, stretching out 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."
Harry was rubbing his forehead.
"I wish I knew what this means!" Harry burst out angrily. "My scar keeps hurting - it's happened before, but never as often as this ".
"Go to Madam Pomfrey, " Hermione suggested.
"I'm not ill, " said Harry. "I think it's a warning... It means danger's coming... "
"Harry, relax, Hermione's right, the Stone's safe as long as Dumbledore's around. 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", Ron reassures Harry.
Harry nodded, but he couldn't shake off a lurking feeling that there was something he'd forgotten to do, something important. When he tried to explain this, Hermione said, "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. "
Harry was quite sure the unsettled feeling didn't have anything to do with work, though.
Back at Key's story.
Makai and Key are walking in the grass, while their friends are watching.
"So, you want to be a writer?" asked Makai.
"Yeah! Ever since I was 5,only Harry knows,come to think of it,I need to go", said Key.
"Going to see Harry,have fun", said Makai,and hugs Key.
"Where are you going?" asked Key.
"Nowhere special,see ya!" answered Makai.
"Hmmm", said Betty.
Inside the Gryffindor corridor,Harry is lost in thought with not much to do, so Key walks up to him,which he doesn't notice.
"How often?" asked Key.
"It restarted when I was walking with Ron and Hermione", Harry tells Key.
"You think it has something to do with the sorcerer's stone?" questioned Key.
"I think so", Harry admitted. "That's it".
Hermione, and Ron enter the Gryffindor common
"What?" asked Key,Hermione,and Ron.
They head outside,following Harry.
"Don't you think it's a bit odd, " said Harry, scrambling up the grassy slope, "that 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? How Many people wander around with dragon eggs if it's against wizard law? Lucky they found Hagrid, don't you think? Why didn't I see it before?"
"That's actually a good point,that means the stranger might've brought dragon egg to get information from Hagrid", Key figured out.
"Well only know when we ask Hagrid", replied Harry.
Ron,Makai, and Hermione didn't quite understand what Harry and Key were getting at.
So,they just follow Harry and Key, who's sprinting across the grounds towards the forest.
Hagrid was sitting in an armchair outside his house, his trousers,and sleeves were rolled up he was shelling peas into a large bowl .
"Hullo," said Hagrid , smiling. "Finished yet exams? Got time for .a drink?
"Yes please", said Ron , but Harry cut across him, and Key give him a nice cup of tea.
"When did you?" asked Ron.
"Just in case, I always be prepared", answered Key.
"Thank you", said Ron.
"Hagrid,do you know what did the stranger , you were playing cards with look like?" wondered Harry.
"Dunno,", said Hagrid casually. "He wouldn't take his cloak off".
Hagrid saw the five of them looked stunned and raised his eyebrows.
"Just as I thought", Key whispered.
"It's not that unusal, yeh get a lot o' funny folk in the Hog''s Head - that's the pud down in the village. Mighta bin a dragon dealer", Hagrid insisted.
Harry and Key sat down by the bowl of peas.
"Hagrid,did you mention it Hogwarts at all to him?" asked Key.
"Mighta come up", Hagrid explained,frowning as he tried to remember . "Yeah...he asked what I did, an' I told him,I was gamekeeper here...he asked a bit about the sorta creatures I look 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 see...yeah,then he said he he had the dragon egg an' we could play cards fer it I wanted...but he had ter be sure I could handle it,he didn't want it ter go ter any old home...so,I told him,after Fluffy, a dragon would be easy..."
"And did he seem interested in Fluffy?" asked Harry,trying to sound calm.
"Well-yeah-how many three-headed dog d'yeah 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-" Hagrid suddenly looked horrified.
"I shouldn'ta told yeh that!" Hagrid blurted out,"Wait,where're yeh goin?"
Harry,Key,Ron,and Hermione didn't speak to each other at all until they came to a halt in the Entrance Hall,which seemed very cold and gloomy after the grounds.
"We've got to go to Dumbledore's office", said Harry.
"Hagrid told a stranger that might've been Snape or Voldemort how to get past Fluffy,it must've been easy,once he'd got Hagrid drunk. I just hope Dumbledore believe us", Key analyzed.
"Where's Dumbledore's office?" asked Harry.
Key was going to ask Makai,when she noticed she was about to faint.
"Makai,are you okay?" asked Key.
"Yeah! I pushed my power to see where it was, it's no good,Dumbledore isn't there", revealed Makai,catching her breath.
"That means there's only one thing to do", said Key.
"Tonight",said Harry. "We need to go to the trap door, to stop Snape's plan".
"But how can we-" wondered Ron.
Hermione and Makai gasped. Harry,Key,and Ron wheeled around.
Snape was standing there.
"Good Afternoon",said Snape,smoothly.
They stared at him.
"You shouldn't be inside on a day like this", Snape tells them,with an odd,twisted smile.
"We were-" Harry began,without any idea what he was going to say.
"You want to be more careful", said Snape.
"People might think you're up to something", said Snape.
Snape strode off in the direction of the staff room.
Out on the stone steps,Harry turned to the others.
"Okay,here's what we've got to do", Harry whispered urgently. "One of us has got to keep an eye on Snape - wait outside the staff room and follow him if he leaves it. Key,Hermione, think you can do it".
"Why me?" asked Hermione.
"It's obvious", said Ron. "You can pretend to be waiting for professor Flitwick about life home work". Then,he makes fun of her with a high voice for a minute.
"Oh shut up", complained Hermione,but she agreed to go with Key and watch out for Snape.
"And I know,Key can be very sneaky,and we better stay outside the third-floor corridor", Harry told Ron. "Come on".
But,that part of the plan didn't work,since Ron and Harry got caught by Professor McGonagall,also Snape figured out Key and Hermione's plan.
"If we do something like that we'll get expelled", said Hermione.
"That doesn't matter,do you realize what's at stake,Hermione", replied Key.
"Yeah! If we don't stop Snape,the stone will bring Voldemort back,he'll try to take over all over again. Things like school,winning the house cup,will be the least of our worries. Voldemort will come after me,probably kill me, because I would never go over to the dark side,I need to stop him", Harry explained.
"You're right,Harry", Hermione agreed.
"Correction,we are going to help you too",Key told Harry.
"We?" questioned Harry.
"You didn't think you would do this on your own,did you?" asked Ron.
"Absolutely not,Harrt", Hermione insisted.
"The invisibility cloak will help for maybe the three of you,but Makai and I will just use a regular invisibility spell,right", Key decided.
"Right", smiled Makai,but inside she was really nervous.
