Bab 22: chapter 22

Back to Harry, Hermione and Ron walking together.

Harry is rubbing his forehead.

"My scar is hurting - it's happened before, but never as often as this", said Harry.

"Go to Madam Pomfrey", Hermione suggested.

"I think it's a warning… it means danger's coming…" Harry figured out.

"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".

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. He watched an owl flutter toward the school across the bright blue sky, a note clamped in its mouth. Hagrid was the only one who ever sent him letters. Hagrid would never betray Dumbledore. Hagrid would never tell anyone how to get past Fluffy… never… but -

Harry suddenly jumped to his feet.

"Where are you going?" said Ron, sleepily.

Key catches up to Harry.

"Key!" Hermione smiles.

"What's going on?" asked Key.

"Good timing, Key you are good at observing things, Don't you think it's odd that what Hagrid wants more than anything is a dragon, and a stranger turns up who just happens to have an dragon eggs if it's against wizard law", Harry pointed out.

"That makes sense, not many would carry something so risky, that means that the person Hagrid met", Key agreed with Harry.

"What are you two talking about?" asked Ron.

"It makes perfect sense", Harry and Key snap their fingers.

Hagrid was sitting in an armchair outside his house; his trousers and sleeves were rolled up, and he was shelling peas into a large bowl.

"Hullo, " he said, smiling. "Finished yer exams? Got time fer a drink?"

"Yes, please, " said Ron, but Harry cut him off. 

"No, we're in a hurry", said Harry 

"You know that night you won Norbert? What Did the stranger you were playing cards with look like?" asked Key.

"Dunno, " said Hagrid casually, "he wouldn' take his cloak off. 

Hagrid saw the four of them look stunned and raised his eyebrows. 

"It's not that unusual, yeh get a lot o' funny folk in the Hog's Head - that's the pub down in the village. Mighta bin a dragon dealer, mightn' he? I never saw his face, he kept his hood up. " Hagrid pointed out.

Harry sank down next to the bowl of peas and says "What did you talk to him about, Hagrid? Did you mention Hogwarts at all?"

"Mighta come up, " said Hagrid, 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 took 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's see... Yeah, then he said he had the dragon egg an' we could play cards fer it if I Wanted... But he had ter be sure I could handle it, he didn' want it ter go ter any old home... So I told him, after Fluffy, a dragon would be easy... "

"And did he - did he seem interested in Fluffy?" Harry asked, trying to keep his voice calm.

 "Well - yeah - how many three-headed dogs d'yeh meet, even around Hogwarts? So I told him, Fluffy's piece o' cake if yeh know how to calm him down, jus' play him a bit o' music an' he'll go straight off tersleep - - "Hagrid suddenly looked horrified. "I shouldn'ta told yeh that!" he blurted out. "Forget I said it! Hey - 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.

 


Bab 23: chapter 23

"We've got to go to Dumbledore, " said Harry. "Hagrid told that stranger how to get past Fluffy, and it was either Snape or Voldemort under that cloak - it must've been easy, once he'd got Hagrid drunk. I just hope Dumbledore believes us. Firenze might back us up if Bane doesn't stop him. Where's Dumbledore's office?"

They looked around, as if hoping to see a sign pointing them in the right direction.

 They had never been told where Dumbledore lived, nor did they know anyone who had been sent to see him. 

"We'll just have to - - " Harry began, but a voice suddenly rang across the hall. 

"What are you four doing inside?" called a voice.

It was Professor McGonagall, carrying a large pile of books. 

"We want to see Professor Dumbledore, " said Hermione, rather bravely, Harry and Ron thought. 

"See Professor Dumbledore?" Professor McGonagall repeated, as though this was a very fishy thing to want to do. "Why?"

"It's kind of..mostly a secret", said Key.

"Professor Dumbledore left ten minutes ago, " Professor McGonagall says, coldly. "He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and flew off for London at once. "

"He's gone?" said Harry frantically. "Now?"

"Professor Dumbledore is a very great wizard, Potter, he has many demands on his time", said Professor McGonagall.

"But this is important", said Harry.

"Something you have to say is more important than the Ministry of Magic, Potter?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"Look, " said Harry, throwing caution to the winds, "Professor - it's about the Sorcerer's stone - - "

Whatever Professor McGonagall had expected, it wasn't that. The books she was carrying tumbled out of her arms, but she didn't pick them up.

 "How do you know -?" Professor McGonagall spluttered.

 "Professor, I think - I know - that Sn-that someone's going to try and steal the Stone. I've got to talk to Professor Dumbledore", Harry revealed.

Professor McGonagall eyed Harry with a mixture of shock and suspicion. 

"Professor Dumbledore will be back tomorrow, " said Professor McGonagall finally. "I don't know how you found out about the Stone, but rest assured, no one can possibly steal it, it's too well protected. "

"But Professor - - " said Harry and Key.

"Potter,Walter, I know what I'm talking about, "  said Professor McGonagall, shortly. She bent down and gathered up the fallen books. I suggest you all go back outside and enjoy the sunshine. "

But they didn't. 

"It's tonight, " said Harry, once he was sure Professor McGonagall was out of earshot. "Snape's going through the trapdoor tonight. He's found out everything he needs, and now he's got Dumbledore out of the way. He sent that note, I bet the Ministry of Magic will get a real shock when Dumbledore turns up. "

"But what can we - - "Hermione gasped. Harry and Ron wheeled around. 

"Of course, we have to", Key tells them.

Snape was standing there. 

"Good afternoon, "  said Snape, smoothly. 

They stared at him.

 "You shouldn't be inside on a day like this, " he said, with an odd, twisted smile. 

"We were - - " Harry began, without any idea what he was going to say. 

"We were looking for somebody who was inside", Key interrupted Harry.

"You want to be more careful, " said Snape. "Hanging around like this, people will think you're up to something".

Harry flushed. 

They turned to go outside, but Snape called them back. 

"Be warned, Potter, Walter - any more nighttime wanderings and I will personally make sure you two are expelled. Good day to you. " Snape warned them.

Snape strode off in the direction of the staffroom. Out on the stone steps, Harry turned to the others. 

"Right, 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. Hermione, you'd better do that.."

Key levitates and sees glimpses into the future.

"What did you see Key?" asked Harry.

"The plan won't work, but I still see us going to the trapdoor", said Key.

"How?" asked Harry.

Key runs off.

"Key, wait! Where are you going?" asked Harry.

"I have to get my friends, they're the key", said Key.

"Wait! Isn't that them over there?" Hermione pointed out.

"Guys!" Called Key.

Keni, Devin, Betty, Makai, Li, and Qin look at Key, and runs off.

Key explained everything to her friends.

"What?" asked Betty.

"But, how can we help?" Asked Qin and Li.

"Easy, I have a plan", said Keni.

"I knew I could count on you guys", said Key.

"Of course, we would do anything for you, Key. Your cousin, Hermione, and Ron as well", said Makai.

"Makai, you go to the trap door with them", said Keni.

"I don't know if that's a good idea", said Key, worried.

"No, I think it is a good idea, there might be traps that faes could help wizards get through traps and two faes are better than one", said Keni.

"That is a Brilliant idea", said Hermione. "I didn't think that before because faes are kinda new to Hogwarts".

"True, so this is just a theory", said Betty.

"Wait, how do we walk through the hallway without getting notice?" asked Ron.

"Easy, we could use my invisibility cloak", said Harry.

"All three of us under it?" questioned Hermione.

"I have a better idea, how about all us faes put an invisibility spell on you, it's safer, and you won't lose your cloak", said Key.

Everybody else agreed.

"We do need to be cautious, let's go", said Harry.
