I don't own Harry Potter just my Ocs.

Chapter 12

Ellie's p.o.v.

"So, you're saying that Harry followed Snape and Quirrell into the forbidden forest talking about the stone? That Harry thinks Snape was trying to figure out how to get past the three-headed dog from Quirrell?" Lucas asked me we were at the library and Lucas was looking at a few books on the shelf in front of us.

"That's what Harry heard in the forest last night," I said. "Hermione said that the stone is safe unless Quirrell talks."

"If it's Quirrell you can kiss that stone goodbye."Lucad said "I'd give it a week, since Our defense against the dark arts teacher is...well you know."

"A nervous lunatic?" I said "But Lucas...I don't think Snape is after it."

"Did you tell your brother and the others?" He asked

"Yeah, but they didn't believe me they're thinking its Snape." I said "There's just something not right..."

"What's not right? Snape is pretty intimidating and he's seems the type that you don't want to mess with." Lucas said

I know that he's right at that but it's just that's I have this nagging feeling...I don't know why I just can't put my finger on it. Lucas placed a tower of books onto the table. I couldn't help but give him a look. ' Really? All of those books?' I thought

"Time to study."Lucas said not feeling affected by my look.

Two hours...two of the longest hours of my life studying...my head started to hurt a bit. I closed my book.

"Lucas let's take a break...please!" I said

"Ellie we've got ten weeks until the tests. If we don't pass then we can't be here next year." Lucas explained I gripped his arm and gave him the puppy dog look.

"Please...just five minutes? Pretty please?" I said

He looked away there was a slight pink color in his cheeks and nodded. "Only five minutes." He whispered

'Yay! That always works!' I thought

I was studying with Lucas most of the time. Believe it or not Ron and Harry seem to like him even if he's slytherin. I felt happy that my best friend and my twin brother got along.

"Do you really need to study for potions? Snape doesn't hate you and he'll pass you for sure." Harry said as he walked in with Hermione and Ron in the library.

Hermione was pleased to see that I was studying unlike a few boys. Though I have noticed that Ron would tell people off for making fun of Professor Quirrell's stutter and Harry would every now and then give him small smile. Yet I still think that Snape isn't after the stone, they just think I'm a total idiot. But every time I'm in Defense Against the Dark Arts I always got a bad feeling in my gut. I didn't know why I just do, maybe there was something else going on I wanted to tell Harry about it.

But he had a confusing look on his face when I said that I thought that Quirrell was after the stone. Even when I told him what I think that Snape wasn't interested at all. I mean a stone like that is tempting but why would Snape want it? To me He was a nice guy, he reminded me of someone but I don't know who... Plus he helped me with getting my supplies and he recommends a few books so I could study. I would ask him questions about homework or anything about his class or anything really, he didn't seem to mind sometimes and Lucas would go with me too.

I glanced from my book and caught Lucas staring at me he quickly averted his gaze. I tilted my head curiously looking at my friend. I opened my mouth to say something.

"Hagrid?" Harry said. "What are you doing in here?"

I looked up to my left and saw Hagrid standing there with a book in his hands, trying his best to hide it but couldn't. Since I read the title.

"What are you doing with a book on dragons?" I asked.

"Dragons?"Lucas said looking at hagrid.

"Never mind that…" he muttered, looking embarrassed that he didn't hide the book fast enough. "You all aren't trying to find out more about Nicolas Flamel are you?"

"Oh, we already know all about him," Ron said proudly. "We know that he made the Philosopher's St-"

"HEY!" Hagrid said, trying to shut Ron up. "Forget about all that, yer not supposed ter know it. Just…come by my hut later, okay?"

We all nodded as he exited the library. A few minutes later I said goodbye to Lucas as we headed at Hagrid's hut.

"So, tell us what all is guarding the stone," Ron said to Hagrid. "We know that it can't be just the dog."

"Yer not supposed to know about that," Hagrid said in a warning tone.

"Come on Hagrid," I said. "There's no point in hiding it, if you do we will probably know more by the end of this month. We're like the Scooby doo gang."

"Scooby what?" Ron said

"I'll tell you later."I said I still forget that Ron doesn't see the show and I don't know if Hermione and Harry watch that show. I know me and Lucas watch it when we can. I can picture Ron being Shaggy because he seems to eat like shaggy, hermione like Velma really smart and Harry well a bit like Freddy, I mean all we need is a talking dog and we're set to solve more mysteries. I looked at Hagrid.

Hagrid looked around for a moment, as if he was trying to see if anyone else was listening in. Luckily no one was around but us.

"Fine," Hagrid said. "All I know is that some of the teachers put some enchantments around it…"

"Like who?" Hermione asked.

"Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, Professor Quirrell, Professor Dumbledore, and Professor Snape."

"Snape?" Ron asked. "He's protecting the Stone?"

"Didn't I already tell ya that?"

"Yes!" I said to him. "I knew it! Lucas owes me a sickle!"

Everyone looked at me and I grinned. I knew I was right about Snape! He's not bad, maybe a bit bitter but not evil or anything.

"What? You mean Ellie was right?!" Ron said

"She's right!" Hagrid said in my defense. "Yer always blamin' him fer everything."

"Well I knew he wasn't up to anything."I said crossing my arms. "I trust my instincts."

Suddenly, we heard a noise coming from the fireplace. I got curios at it so I walked closer while wiping a bit of sweat from my forehead since it was a bit warmer.

"What is that, Hagrid?" Harry said, slowly moving towards the fireplace behind me.

"It's a dragon's egg, isn't it Hagrid?" Hermione asked as she looked at the pot over the fire.

Hagrid nodded as he went to grab some oven mitts and started walking towards the pot in the fire.

"No wonder it's so hot in here…" Ron said.

"Hagrid…the egg is cool and all..." I said. "But you live in a wooden house...this place could burn down!"

"It's not going to burn! The dragon's only a baby!" he said as he started moving the egg around.

"Wait, where did you get a dragon's egg anyway?" Ron asked.

"Yeah I'm curious too... I wonder if I could get one?"I said

"Oh, some guy at the pub gave it to me, seemed happy to be done with the thing." He said

"It's illegal to own a dragon, Hagrid!" Hermione said nervously.

"What? Hagrid I think you should get rid of it."I said 'It's fishy from what hagrid said, I guess the guy wanted to get rid of it so that it can't trace him or something.' I thought

"Don't worry about it, Hermione, Ellie. I know what I'm doing!" He said

We all looked at each other, knowing that it was only a matter of time before he was caught. Hagrid isn't a bad guy he's just a big softie. After visiting him we went to our classes. Which was Potions class, as usual we had to do a new potion that he assign the class but today I had trouble concentrating but I manage to do the potion correctly. I got a bit worried about Hagrid and his wellbeing. I immediately yelled out in pain when I felt a bit of the hot liquid when I poured it in the potion, Snape looked up in his desk and his eyes widen a bit while Lucas swiftly took my hand and ran it in cool water. I looked in my hand and it wasn't bad just a tiny burn it didn't look serious.

Snape walked up to my desk and looked at my hand.

"It doesn't look serious."I said

"Even it's still need to be looked at, Knight escort her to madam pomfrey."Snape said to Lucas

Me and Lucas got up and left to see the healer.

"Ellie, is something wrong?" Lucas asked as we walked the halls.

"No, nothing's wrong." I said 'I don't want Lucas to worry about me or my friends, he almost got caught when he helped us months ago. I don't want him to get in trouble.' I thought

"You know that I'll be here to help you Ellie." Lucas said

"Really? " I said

"Always." He said giving me a small smile, I knew that's the smile he always gives me when he's honest.

After Madam pomfrey checked on my burn she added some burn healing paste on it and wrapped my hand. By the time I came back class was over. I talked to Harry and our friends and we all decided that it would be best to check up on Hagrid to make sure that everything was okay in his hut. I prayed that it wasn't on fire. When we went inside it was really hot that if you poured water to the ground it would immediately evaporate.

"It's nearly hatched!" Hagrid said with a huge smile on his face.

We all looked at the egg, which was completely black and was currently falling to little pieces. Within the next few minutes, the egg burst open scaring me a bit since it sounded like the firecracker that they would use in newyears, I looked and it was small dragon that hatched.

"Isn't he beautiful?" Hagrid asked us, practically crying.

"Uh...yeah it's kinda cute.." I mumbled, watching as the dragon spit fire as it sneezed a few embers were on the wooden table in which I put it out with some water.

Suddenly, Hagrid grew extremely pale as if he'd been caught stealing a priceless jewel, he looked out of the window.

"Hagrid?" I asked."What's wrong?" I glanced at the window and saw a bit of blonde hair.

"It's Malfoy!" Harry said pointing out of the window. "He's seen the dragon!"

'Uh-oh...we can't let Malfoy tell anyone! We'll get in trouble! Oh what do we do?'I thought panicking a bit.

Please leave a review and tell me what you think, I'm opened to any ideas or suggestions.
