Hermione: [she, Maddie, and Ron are meeting in the common room] You mean You-Know-Who's out there, right now, in the forest?
Madelyn: 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?
Madelyn: 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. [Maddie and Ron both glance at her] We're forgetting one thing. Who's the one wizard Voldemort always feared? Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore's around, Maddie, you're safe. As long as Dumbledore's around, you can't be touched. [gives her a reassuring smile; she 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.
Ron: Speak for yourself.
Skyler: All right there, Maddie?
[We see Maddie walking next to the three rubbing her forehead right where the scar is.]
Madelyn: My scar. It keeps burning.
Hermione: It's happened before...
Madelyn: Not like this.
Ron: Perhaps you should see the nurse.
Madelyn : I think it's a warning. It means danger's coming. [A look of realization] Ah... Oh! Of course!
[Maddie starts walking faster making Hermione, Sky and Ron speed up to catch her]"You run and walk really fast you know,"
"I know."
Hermione: What is it?
Madelyn: 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 pocket? Why didn't I see it before?
[They approach Hagrid's hut and he is playing a flute.]
Madelyn: 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.
Madelyn: 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.
Madelyn: Did he seem interested in Fluffy?
Hagrid: Well, o' course he was interested in Fluffy! How often do you come across a three-headed dog, even if you're in the trade? But I told 'im, I said, I said, 'The trick with any beast is to know how to calm 'im. Take Fluffy, for example, just play him a bit o' music, and he falls straight to sleep.' I shouldn't have told you that. [The Quartet runs off] Where are you going? Where are you-?
[Maddie, Sky, Hermione, and Ron run into the Transfiguration classroom to talk to McGonagall.]
Madelyn: We have to see Professor Dumbledore, immediately!
McGonagall: I'm afraid Professor Dumbledore is not here. He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and left immediately for London.
Madelyn: He's gone! Now! But, this is important! This is about the Philosophers Stone!
McGonagall: [Looking shocked] How do you know-?
Skyler: Someone's going to try to steal it!
McGonagall: I don't know how you three found out about the Stone, but I assure you it is perfectly well protected. Now, would you go back to your dormitories, quietly
[They leave the classroom talking to each other.]
Madelyn: That was no stranger Hagrid met in the village. It was Snape. Which means, he knows how to get past Fluffy.
[Snape sneaks up behind them]
Hermione: And with Dumbledore gone-
Snape: Good afternoon. Now, what would three young Gryffindors, and a young Ravenclaw such as yourselves, be doing inside on a day like this?
[The four of them jump and quickly turn around.]
Hermione: Ah, w- w- w... we- we were just-
Snape: You ought to be careful. People will think you're... up to something. [Walks away]
Hermione: Now, what do we do?
Madelyn: [With a determined look] We go down the trap door, tonight.
Skyler: I'll meet you there at Midnight.
