A few weeks after term began she was in History of Magic with Professor Binns when she remembered the door that Severus had told her never to go near. Being eleven curiosity got the best of her. She wanted to know what laid behind that door. She told Draco, Ron, and Hermione and they agreed to go with her. Hermione was a little reluctant at first but couldn't say no to Abby. Later that evening Abby and Draco dawned the invisibility and headed to Gryffindor tower to pick up Ron and Hermione.
When they arrived Ron and Hermione were waiting outside the fat lady portrait. They pulled the cloak off, so everyone could huddle together. Once they were set the group put the invisibility cloak back on. As they traveled through the castle careful not to disturb any of the sleeping portraits. They aimlessly wandered trying to find the door until they stopped suddenly because there was Professor Snape and Quirrell having a conversation.
Draco covered Abbys mouth, so she didn't give away that they were there because Snape had Quirrell pushed up against the wall and was being fairly nasty "Think about where your loyalties lie Quirinus I wouldn't want anything to happen to you," said Snape. Quirrell looked absolutely terrified, but they knew they couldn't do anything unless they revealed themselves. The group hurried away and about ten minutes later they arrived at the door. Abby removed the cloak setting it off to the side and reached up to open the, but it was locked. "Now what do we do it's locked," said Ron. "Oh, move over" Hermione shoved everyone out of the way. "Alohomora!" They heard the door unlock and stepped inside the door.
As they each stepped inside they didn't get what they expected. Inside was a dog with three heads but the most incredible thing was how did it get there. All four of them screamed and Ron, Hermione, and Abby ran out, but Draco was frozen in place scared. "Malfoy get out of there!" shouted Ron. This seemed to snap Draco out of his shock as he turned to run the dogs paw caught his hand and scratched it.
The four decided it would be best for Ron and Hermione to return to Gryffindor tower as Draco and Abby went to the hospital wing. When the two arrived at the hospital wing Madam Pomfrey demanded to know what had happened. Abby told her that Draco had fallen down the stairs in the dungeon. Madam Pomfrey looked unconvinced but said nothing. After healing the cuts and wrapping his hand she gave them each a pass. The walk back to the Slytherin dorm was quite for the most part. "Abigail are you okay?" asked Draco. Abby just nodded. "About Snape…." He began. "I don't want to talk about it Draco," said Abby. She ran down the halls and into her room.
The next morning all of her friends gathered together to go to the quidditch. Ron was completely understanding of her choosing to not attend. As they all headed towards the pitch Abby went to Hagrids. Upon approaching hagrids hut Fang his dog came bounding off the steps. He ran towards Abby and knocked her over licking her face. "Fang! Get of 'er yeh big oof" Hagrid said as he pulled him off of her. "'Ello Abigail. Are you going to the game?" She shook her head and stood there nervously. Although Hagrid only knew Abigail from their brief encounters he knew her well enough to know she wanted to talk.
"Would you like to come in fer some tea?"
She nodded and followed Hagrid into his house. He prepared the Tea and put some biscuits on the table. Abby sat there quietly nibbling on the biscuit. "Abigail what's on yer mind. I know you want to talk," said Hagrid. She looked up at him and set her biscuit down. "Hagrid is Snape mean. I saw him the other night pushing Professor Quirrell against a wall."
"Of course, not Professor Snape is trusted by Professor Dumbledore, so I trust him completely."
"Alright but what about the dog in the castle?" "How do you know about fluffy?" asked Hagrid. "I got lost and ended up in front of the dog plus there was a door under its foot," said Abby. She noticed Hagrid suddenly looked nervous. "That is between Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel…." He began. Hagrid stopped talking as soon as he realized what he said. "I should not have said that. I should not have said that." Abby quickly finished her tea and biscuits and went to find the others. As she reached the stairs for the quidditch pitch Abby ran up the stairs not paying attention to where she was going. As she ran Abby slammed right into someone knocking her to the ground.
"Are you alright?"
Abby looked up to see Snape and stood up quickly. "Yes, I'm fine. Sorry Professor Snape." Abby hurried off to find her friends, but not before looking back to see the pained look on Snapes face.
