It had been a few days, I've noticed Draco seeming more smug than usual, if that were possible. Every time he would look to Harry, Hermione or Ron he'd end up with a sly smile on his face. With our chats during classes and in the commons room, he'd never mentioned the trio being at Hagrids, he hasn't even mentioned the bloody dragon. Whom was a pretty cute dragon, again it was the only dragon I've seen, or ever physically encountered. But still cute, for a little hatching, Capone would likely disagree. The baby dragon, was already big enough to eat my little fluffy creature. It's already tried to. In my free time in the mornings I've been trying to convince Hagrid to use his senses, to give up the dragon. He didn't seem to realize how dangerous or stupid it was to have the dragon around.

Currently on my way to lunch I'm grabbed and pulled to the side, looking I saw it was Hermione, "Harry managed to talk Hagrid into letting Rons brother take Norbert.

I let out a sigh of relief, "Good, about bloody time he came to his senses."

She nodded in agreement, as we walked towards lunch, "Ron's brother has already sent a letter back, of a time and place to come get Norbert" She went on, "Midnight, tonight, at the tallest tower of Hogwarts, it's when and where, we just need to get the letter sent, and think og how to sneak it through the building, without getting caught."

I gave her a dumbfounded look, had she forgotten about the invisibility cloak? "Well, with Harrys cloak, we'll sneak the dragon up."

"The cloak is only so big, maybe two of us will be able to hide under it with the dragon, while trying to keep the thing quiet." She stated, I nodded in agreement thinking to myself.

"Harry and Ron should" I declared, going on, explaining why. "It's Harrys cloak, and Ron out of the four of us knows more about dragons, or I assume so, I know nothing about dragons, personally." I paused, going on, "We'll be keeping look out, from the front and back. singling somehow whenever someone is around." She nodded in agreement, then we went to lunch.

Come dinner time Ron had somehow lost the letter Charlie, his brother had sent. Malfoy had stolen the book, that the letter was inside. Apparently Ron ended up in the hospital wing after being bit by Norbert. Malfoy had threatened to tell Madam Pomfrey what had really bit Ron, whom had blamed Capone for it. Now we're in trouble, but we couldn't do anything to change the plans.

Eventually, we had gotten Norbert, after having to practically ripping the scaly creature from Hagrid. Whom was basically in tears, he had had packed a few things for Norbert, including a teddy bear. Perhaps I was to insensitive. What would I do if Capone had to be taken away? I'd probably fight like hell. I guess I could relate to Hagrid. Aside from the fact Norbert was a bloody dragon, and was going to be big enough to eat us. While Capone was as big as he was going to get, he was a soft, fluff ball. Could be easily stopped, if he wanted to hurt someone.

As we walked around the halls, I couldn't help but think back on when I first laid eyes on Capone. I first time I met my little glider, when I was younger. I wasn't aware of how odd I was socially odd. Alike me Capone was anti-social, not being a fan of people or other creatures. He liked to bite at the start of our friendship, before we were really friends. I'd spent hours at night just watching him running on his wheel, in his cage, that he once had. It took so many fruits, nuts and weird bugs and a lot of biting, drawing my blood but now we've become what we were currently. He was basically my best friend, he was mine.

I guess I can relate to Hagrid. If I were to loose Capone, I'd fight, cry and curse whomever took him away from me. I was brought out of my thoughts, when I hear a familiar whinging voice. I held my hand up, as a sign stopping the others from moving forward, I made sure to hide next to a wall, sucking in my breath and holding it in. As I saw Professor McGonagall with Malfoy by the ear. He must've gotten caught, trying to catch us.

"Detention! As well as twenty points from Slytherin!" She huffed, I narrowed my eyes, twenty points? That's the most we've lost as a house. "Wandering around in the middle of the night, how dare you!"

Then Draco cut her off, before she could finish, "You don't understand, Professor, Harry Potter, Wesley and Granger are coming, they they've got a dragon!" He whined, making his situation worse.

"What utter rubbish, how dare you tell such lies! Now come on, we shall see Professor Snape about you, Malfoy!" Then she led him to the left. Once I couldn't hear their footsteps, I walked around the corner, looking back behind, me.

"Let's hurry, almost there" I whispered, as I took the lead, while Hermione was in the back, with Harry, Ron and the dragon under the cloak between us.

Walking up the stairs to the tower, we then saw someone who looked a lot like Ron, but taller and more mature looking. with him were two other. Hermione handed one of them the small bag Hagrid had packed, and requested that they write to Hagrid often about Norbert. They then went to show us the Harness that they were going to use on Norbert while they flew on their brooms through the sky. Then we were walking back down the stairs, sadly waiting at the bottom was Filch. Shit.

"Well, well, well" He cackles, obviously pleased with himself, "What troublesome children have I caught." Looking to each of us, I stood in front, Harry and Hermione were directly behind me while Ron was behind them. Shit. "Come with me troublesome children" He ordered, turning and walking in one direction, his cat waited till we had followed him, as if she were bringing up the back.

I felt annoyed. This was the third or forth time Filch has caught me, did anyone else get caught as often. We were lead into Professor McGonagall's office, she wasn't there. Probably still dealing with Malfoy. Taking a seat I glared down at my hands, Filch must've ended up with the letter from Rons brother. Malfoy, the blond devil must've given it to him. There was no way Filch would've just been lucky enough to be waiting at the exact time and place for us. I'd hurt the blond fool when I got the chance.

The door to McGonagalls office opened, I was shocked to see with her Neville, was he out wandering the halls also?

"Harry" Neville bursted, the moment he saw Potter, "I was trying to find you, to warn you, I heard Malfoy saying he was going to catch you.." Shut up Neville! I knew what was about to leave his mouth, "he said you had a dragon" I mentally added Neville to the list of people I'd hurt for causing more trouble, right next Malfoy.

I noticed the others were in shock and awe, with annoyance for their friend. Harry was even shaking his head at Neville.

"I would never have believed it if any of you. says you were up in the astronomy tower. It's nearly one o'clock in the morning. Explain yourselves. She demanded, going on before we could say a word. "I think I've got a good idea of what's been going on. It doesn't take a genius to work it out." At least you're humble enough to realize you're not a genius. I held back my comment, knowing it would do me no good. "You fed Draco Malfoy some cock-and-bull story about a dragon, trying to get him out of bed and into trouble." I wanted to laugh, at what conclusion she had come to, but I bit my tongue, Yea, for sure not a genius. Thank god for that. She had then gazed at me, causing me to hold my breath, shit., "I can't understand why you would also want to get your fellow housemate into trouble" Well, he had it coming, should've kept his nose out of everyoness business. She then looked to Harry and the others, "I suppose you think it's funny that Longbottom here heard the story and believed it, too?" She shook her head, "I'm disgusted. Five students out of bed, in one night! , I thought you had more sense. , I had thought Gryffindor meant more than this." She then looked back at me, "As for you , does loyalty mean nothing to you?" I bit my tongue, knowing nothing I said would help. She went on, "You will receive detentions, all of you. Yes even you . Nothing gives you the right to walk around school at night. Especially these days, it's dangerous" I blinked, dangerous? Have the professors finally realized someone was trying to get to the stone? Did they suspect that the someone was one of them?

I tuned back into the conversation hearing Harry gasp, in disbelief, "Fifty points?" they each, must've costed their house ten points.

"Now Filch, please make sure that our Gryffindor students make it to their house. While I take to her head of house." She had ordered, walking out the door, reluctantly I followed her behind.

I looked up to her as we walked in silence, "Professor, what's happened to make it dangerous?" I questioned, hoping I could get more information.

"None of your concern ." She then stopped in front of the office door of Snape, giving it a knock, before she entered, without permission, following her, I saw Snape sitting at his desk with an annoyed furious look, with a fearful Malfoy sitting at the other side of his desk " has been caught out of bed as well, adding in fooling Malfoy of the hogwash about a dragon"

I rolled my eyes, at her remarks, then Snape spoke, not in a yelling tone, but in an unnaturally quiet, " , sit. Now" I took a seat in the chair next to Malfoy, he was looking at me with a confused look. I met eyes with Snape, feeling his dark eyes pierce my yellow ones. I felt the numb feeling in the back of my head. He was in my thoughts, my memories, I made sure to think to recall back to the moments on the tower, with the dragon, and Rons brothers. His face seemed to soften a bit, I assume he'd saw what I had wanted him to see.

"I'm extremely disappointed in you both, being out of bed. I had expected better, from my brightest students." His tone seemed to shift as his look did. "I'll be taking ten points away, from each of you. My point subtraction will be the ones that matter" I smiled lightly, with gratitude. That he wasn't going to be to hard on Malfoy, and have him loose twenty points for us. Ten points each, we could easily get back after one class with him. "Now to bed the both of you" He ordered. With that I went back to my dorm, laying awake, with the diary out.

The next day I walked to breakfast taking my usual seat, looking up at the hourglasses, I saw that Slytherin was luckily, wasn't affected to much by the lost of twenty points. Unlike the Gryffindor one, that was significantly less full then it was the night before. Draco had sat next to me a few moment later, without his minions.

"Were you really trying to get me in trouble?" He asked, in an annoyed tone.

I looked over at him, "nope, did you want me to get in trouble?" I questioned him back, as I got up walking out of the great wall, going towards our morning class, potions, where we would be taking our mid-term.

During the class, we were tasked to individually either make two of the three potions we've already made, or we attempt to make the next potion, the wideye potion, also known as the awakening potion. We had to do the brewing alone and without help from a list. It was no problem, easy even. I've made the wideye potion already, as did Lilly and a few of the other Slytherin students that were taking astronomy.

Getting up from my seat I proceeded to make the potion. Having it memorized,the ingredients and instructions. Six snake fangs, four measures of standard ingredient, six dried billywig stings would be the first things I grabbed, I would have to wait for awhile before I could add the other ingredients. All I could do was start the potion. First grinding up the fangs, then grounding the standard ingredient. While the cauldron had reached medium temperature, I tossed in the billywig stings. Thirty seconds later I added in the grounded up ingredients. Stirring the bubbling brew clockwise, at a slow speed, three times, using my wand. The next step would have to wait for the next class. Thankfully, everyone else had either finished their potion, gave up or Snape just didn't want to be in the classroom. Either way I was free to leave. Of course however I was prevented from leaving.

" , , a moment." Snape called, just as I was about to step outside of the room. My rotten luck. Reluctantly, I turned on my heel, walking down to the professors desk, Draco was already there. Snape the handed each of us a paper, "your punishments, you'll be meeting with , at the entrance hall, at eleven O'clock. Malloy you may leave, Ravenclaw stay." He advised. Draco shot me a sorrowful look, then left. Leaving me with Snape. "You've been using legilimency during my lectures." He stated, in an as-matter-of-fact, tone. I nodded simply. "When did you start studying it?"

"The start of the school year" I replied, waiting to be in more trouble, or lectured on not to invade a persons privacy.

He studded me then replied, "I'd expected you'd be using it, just not so soon, I presume you've picked up, occlumency as well?" I gave another nod, "what else have you been learning in your free time?"

I learned Voldemort is a thing, not that I can tell you. I've also learned about the philosophers stone.. Wait could I talk about that? I then replied to the professor, "couple of little things, as well about the philosophers stone, such as it's been brought here, I presume for protection from..." I couldn't say His name.

Snape had changed his face, from curious, to slight shock and defensive, "no one should know about that." He warned.

I smiled a bit, "I shouldn't but here I am knowing about its existence, created by Nicolas Flamel. I know what it can do also, turn metal into gold. Most interestingly it rejuvenates and grants immortality. Also I'm aware someone is trying to steal it" I didn't give out a name, knowing I couldn't, instead I've decided to be vague.

He narrowed his eyes, "what would make you think someone's after it."

I couldn't tell him, that I had been practically told that He was going for it, instead I went a different route, "well it's the elixir of life, of course someone would be going after it. I presume they already tried to get it, by setting the troll loose, but were stopped."

He then let out a sigh, pinching the ridge of his nose, as if considering what to say next, "do you know whom is after it?"

Quickly without thought, I replied upon an impulse, "I can't answer that."

Snape then looked to me, I felt my mind going numb slightly. I can't tell you, I want to though. The numbness then went away, his face changing, becoming softer, "you know, Quirrell put the secret keeping charm on you, didn't he?" I didn't answer only gave a surprised expression, he knew. At least about Quirrell if he knew about Voldemort I had no clue.

I then came up with something to say, "Fluffy, the three headed dog is guarding it, what else is? You and I both know he'll get past Hagrids mutt." Was he the one that gave Hagrid the dragon egg? Must've figured Hagrid would talk about Fluffy, if given the right prompt , the egg, to start a conversation. Snape didn't respond, I then gave a nod, "I'm going to be late for charms," i then left the class room going to my next class.
