The Girl Raised By a Qilin Book 1: EDITED

Up to Something

Hermione: [she, Harry, and Ron are meeting in the common room] "You mean You-Know-Who's out there, right now, in the forest?" 

Harry: "But he's weak. He's living off the unicorns. Don't you see? We had it wrong! Snape doesn't want the Stone for himself; he wants the Stone for Voldemort. With the Elixir of Life, Voldemort will be strong again. He'll... he'll come back."

Ron: "But, if he comes back, you don't think he'll try to... kill you, do you?" 

Harry: "I think if he'd had the chance, he might've tried to kill me tonight."

Ron: [gulps] "And to think I've been worrying about my Potions final." 

Hermione: "Hang on a minute." 

Y/n flops onto the couch. Harry and Ron both glance at her. 

Hermione: "We're forgetting one thing. Who's the one wizard Voldemort always feared? Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore's around, Harry, you're safe. As long as Dumbledore's around, you can't be touched." 

She gives him a reassuring smile; he nods. Later all the students are rushing out as they finish their exams. 

Hermione: "I'd always heard Hogwart's end-of-year exams were frightful, but I've found they're rather enjoyable." 

Y/n had a book she was reading about Sirius Black. 

Ron: "Speak for yourself. All right there, Harry?" 

Harry is walking next to the three rubbing his forehead right where the scar is. 

Harry: "My scar. It keeps burning." 

Hermione: "It's happened before..." 

Harry: "Not like this." 

Ron: "Perhaps you should see the nurse." 

Harry: "I think it's a warning. It means danger's coming. [A look of realization] Ah... Oh! Of course!" 

Harry starts walking faster making Hermione and Ron speed up to catch him.

Hermione: "What is it?" 

Harry: "Don't you think it's a bit odd that what Hagrid wants more than anything is a dragon, and a stranger turns up who just happens to have one? I mean, how many people wander around with dragon eggs in their pockets? Why didn't I see it before?" 

They approach Hagrid's hut and he is playing the flute. 

Y/n: "I gave you a nice home here and how do you thank me? You try to kill my teacher!" 

Harry: "Hagrid, [Hagrid stops playing] who gave you the dragon egg? What did he look like?" 

Hagrid: "I dunno. I never saw his face. He kept his hood up." 

Harry: "This stranger though, you and he must have talked." 

Hagrid: "Well, he- he wanted to know what sort of creatures I looked after. I told him, I said, after Fluffy a dragon's gonna be no problem." 

Harry: "Did he seem interested in Fluffy?" 

Y/n: "Cerberussss!" 

Y/n is being dragged by Cerberus. 

Snape: "Are you sure about this?"
