A/N: Wow! I'm almost through with this Diary... I can't believe this! It's amazing, really. I hadn't thought, I'm this far already. Oh, and this chapter isn't in a very cheery mood. Just so you know...

Dear Diary!
I know I haven't written for a long time and I'm sorry. We had exams and they took all my energies. All the studying was really good, too. It put my mind away from the Philosophers' Stone for a while. But now that they're over, I can't help but wonder, how come, that Snapey hasn't made a move yet. Maybe he was too busy with the examining, too. Anyway. The exams weren't half as bad as I expected. Really. Or that's what I think, at least. They haven't given us the results, yet. Harry is a nervous wrack. He keeps telling us about those headaches. He believes, it's a warning. That there's danger coming. I don't think so. I haven't read anything about fortune-telling scars. This time, Ron seems to agree with me. But Harry is very worried about the Philosophers' Stone. Ok, I am, too. But I wouldn't blame it on a scar, even if I had one. It's just weird. Anyway. Harry had this hunch today. About how Voldemort's Pet Professor could have gotten the information how to get past Helldog. And unfortunately, he was right. That's how Hagrid got the dragon. It was a bait. And Hagrid fell right for it. He had played cards with a mysterious man for it. And he had won. The man had never taken his cloak off or the hood down. He had asked about Hogwarts, too. About what creatures Hagrid was looking after and then Hagrid had mentioned Fluffy. He had said, that after Fluffy, a dragon would be just a piece of cake. And the man had showed interest in the Monster Dog. And Hagrid had told him. He had told him, that it only took a little music to put the Three Headed Monster to sleep. It was either Snape or Y-K-W under the cloak, that are we sure of. And that means, there's a chance, that the Stone is not as safe as I thought. We wanted to tell Professor Dumbledore, we really did, but we didn't find his office. And when we went to ask Professor McGonagall to speak to the Headmaster, she said, he had left some ten minutes before. To go to the Ministry. And she didn't believe us about someone trying to steal the stone, just as we were afraid, it would happen. Harry is convinced, they will try and steal the Stone tonight. That the urgent owl the Headmaster received from the Ministry was really sent by our Beloved Potions' Professor to keep him away. I was to tail him, should he leave the staff room and the boys had to keep an eye on Fluffy's Lair. But it went all wrong. I lost You-Know-Who's Pawn right away, because of Professor Flitwick. I pretended to be waiting for the tiny Professor to ask him about an answer I had given in my exam and when I gave that excuse to Professor Snape, he just went and called Professor Flitwick and then went away. I couldn't follow him. At least, I know that I passed the Charms exam. I got 112% on his exam! I can't believe I did that well! Anyway, the boys hadn't any luck either. Our Head of House, Professor McGonagall, found them and threatened to take another fifty points from Gryffindor. And The Minion Of Evil threatened to make sure Harry was expelled, should he make any more night-time wanderings. But if they get the Stone, they will bring You-Know-Who back! And he will repeat the terror from eleven years ago. And that's why we are going down the trapdoor tonight. We will try to get the Stone before they can. I hope, we get there in time. But should we get there too late and come face to face with the thieves... should we not make it... then you will at least know, who did it and why we went there. I hope no-one ever has to read these words, but should we not make it... It's time. I have to go.
Wish us luck!

A/N: Next time, the Trio will face the monstrous dog of Hagrid's, go down the trapdoor and try to get past the protective wards their Professors have set up to guard the Philosophers' Stone. What are her thoughts after this adventure? You'll find out in the next chapter. But before you do that, please review.
