To change the future

PS-15

Quirrell, however, must have been braver than they'd thought. In the weeks that followed he did seem to be getting paler and thinner, but it didn't look as though he'd cracked yet.
　　Every time they passed the third-floor corridor, Harry, Ron, and Hermione would press their ears to the door to check that Fluffy was still growling inside. Snape was sweeping about in his usual bad temper, which surely meant that the Stone was still safe. Whenever Harry passed Quirrell these days he gave him an encouraging sort of smile, and Ron had started telling people off for laughing at Quirrell's stutter.
　　Hermione, however, had more on her mind than the Sorcerer's Stone. She had started drawing up study schedules and color coding all her notes. Harry and Ron wouldn't have minded, but she kept nagging them to do the same. Jason and the Slytherins had accepted fate and were studying.
　　"Hermione, the exams are ages away."

"You should have known by then arguing with Hermione about studying is a lost cause." Harry says and the group of kids nod in agreement.

　"But we're not six hundred years old," Ron reminded her. "Anyway, what are you and Jason even studying for, you two basically already know it all."
　　"What am I studying for? Are you crazy? You realize we need to pass these exams to get into the second year? They're very important, I should have started studying a month ago, I don't know what's gotten into me..." "I actually enjoy studying Ron, I find this stuff interesting." Jason said from his spot at the library table, head buried in a charms book.

"It's true. Sometimes you literally have to drag Jason away from a book and do something." Sirius says and Rhodey side eyes Toni, he knows what that's like.

　Unfortunately, the teachers seemed to be thinking along the same lines as Hermione. They piled so much homework on them that the Easter holidays weren't nearly as much fun as the Christmas ones. It was hard to relax with Hermione next to you reciting the twelve uses of dragon's blood or practicing wand movements. Moaning and yawning, Harry and Ron spent most of their free time in the library with her, trying to get through all their extra work.

Harley groans "I hate when teachers give so much homework." "I know it's the worse especially when I want to go outside and fly." Harry agrees with the blonde.

　"I'll never remember this," Ron burst out one afternoon, throwing down his quill and looking longingly out of the library window. It was the first really fine day they'd had in months. The sky was a clear, forget-me-not blue, and there was a feeling in the air of summer coming.
　　Harry, who was looking up "Dittany" in One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, didn't look up until he heard Ron say, "Hagrid! What are you doing in the library?"

The three Gryffindors, one Ravenclaw and three Slytherins freeze up. So this is when the dragon shows up they all think

Hagrid shuffled into view, hiding something behind his back. He looked very out of place in his moleskin overcoat.
　　"Jus' lookin'," he said, in a shifty voice that got their interest at once. "An' what're you lot up ter?" He looked suddenly suspicious. "Yer not still lookin' fer Nicolas Flamel, are yeh?" "Oh, we found out who he is ages ago," said Ron impressively. "And we know what that dog's guarding, it's a Sorcerer's St --"

"That is not something you want to blurt out in a public area." Natasha tells the younger redhead.

"Shhhh!" Hagrid looked around quickly to see if anyone was listening. "Don' go shoutin' about it, what's the matter with yeh?"
　　"There are a few things we wanted to ask you, as a matter of fact," said Harry, "about what's guarding the Stone apart from Fluffy --"

"I still say naming that thing Fluffy is bullshit." Toni mutters

　"SHHHH!" said Hagrid again. "Listen - come an' see me later, I'm not promisin' I'll tell yeh anythin', mind, but don' go rabbitin' about it in here, students aren' s'pposed ter know. They'll think I've told yeh --"
　　"See you later, then," said Harry.
　　Hagrid shuffled off.
　　"What was he hiding behind his back?" said Hermione thoughtfully.
　　"Do you think it had anything to do with the Stone?"
　　"I'm going to see what section he was in," said Ron, who'd had enough of working. He came back a minute later with a pile of books in his arms and slammed them down on the table.
　　"Dragons!" he whispered. "Hagrid was looking up stuff about dragons! Look at these: Dragon Species of Great Britain and Ireland; From Egg to Inferno, A Dragon Keeper's Guide."
