Ron had fallen asleep in the dark common room, waiting for them to return. He shouted something about Quidditch fouls when Harry roughly shook him awake. In a matter of seconds, though, he was wide-eyed as Harry began to tell him and Hermione what had happened in the Forest.

Ron fell asleep in the common room being lit by only the moon and the small fire

You were about to join Ron in his slumber as Harry, penny and hermione bursted in the room

"You're back, how was detention?" You ask

"You both need to hear this, wake up, Ron!" Penny shouted, Harry shook Ron awake, who shouted something about quidditch fouls

"When we were at detention, I saw a dead unicorn" Harry says "and drinking it's blood was him!"

"Who was it?" You ask, knowing the answer regardless

"It was you-know-who" penny said

"He was drinking unicorn blood?" Ron asks

"It keeps you alive from death" you say

"I know what it does!" Ron says "but how was he doing it? Why was he doing it?"

"I don't know" Harry said

"Snape" hermione said "snapes trying to get the stone while you-know-who is feeding off of unicorns"

Harry couldn't sit down. He paced up and down in front of the fire. He was still shaking.

"Snape wants the stone for Voldemort ... and Voldemort's waiting in the Forest ... and all this time we thought Snape just wanted to get rich..." Harry said

"Please stop saying the name!" said penny in a terrified whisper, as if she thought Voldemort could hear them.

"Firenze saved me, but he shouldn't have done ... Bane was furious ... he was talking about interfering with what the planets say is going to happen ... They must show that Voldemort's coming back ... Bane thinks Firenze should have let Voldemort kill me ... I suppose that's written in the stars as well...." Harry said

'Will you stop saying the name!' Ron hissed.

'So all I've got to wait for now is Snape to steal the Stone,' Harry went on, 'then Voldemort will be able to come and finish me off ... Well, I suppose Bane'll be happy.'

Hermione looked very frightened, before it became obvious she was filled with relief

"Harry, everyone says Dumbledore's the only one You-Know- Who was ever afraid of. With Dumbledore around, You-Know- Who won't touch you. Anyway, who says the centaurs are right? It sounds like fortune-telling to me, and Professor McGonagall says that's a very imprecise branch of magic." Hermione stated

"But Hermione these are centaurs, they love looking at the planets. I'd like to believe that it's not true but... I don't know" you say, the room goes quiet "well, I suppose we should go to bed" you say as the sky turns to light, you lay down in bed, thinking of what's going to happen

While the exams took place, all that was on your mind was what Harry said happened in the forbidden forest. How could he be there? Alive, or alive enough to kill a unicorn? You routinely checked the third door corridor to hear fluffys breathing to make sure the dog was alive. The nervousness kept you sweating (though three large classroom was already swelteringly hot)

The written exams were difficult, especially since you had to use an anti cheating quill. The practical exams were mostly a breeze, however. You managed to make the pineapple tap dance and then do a split across a desk with its new temporary legs from your spell, and you made a snuff box from a mouse for transfiguration (where you got perfect points). Potions, however was stressful because you were trying to remember how to make a forgetfulness potion
