The match had ended half an hour ago and Magnolia was feeling exhausted as all the adrenaline she had during the match had ran out. She was now walking with Ron, Hermione, Hanley and Hagrid. Her arm was linked with Hermione's and they were discussing what happened to Magnolia's broom.

"Nonsense. Why would Snape put a curse on Magnolia's broom?"

Hanley shrugs and mutters.

"Who knows? Why was he trying to get past that three-headed dog on Halloween?"

Hagrid narrowed his eyes at Hanley and asked.

"Who told you about Fluffy?"

Ron repeated in disbelief.

"Fluffy?!"

Hmm, Fluffy. Definitely fits them.

Hermione added.

"That thing has a name?"

Hagrid nodded and stated.

"Well, of course he's got a name. He's mine. I bought him off an Irish fella I met down at the pub last year. Then I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the-"

Hanley interrupted.

"Yes?"

Hagrid scolded himself.

"Shouldn't have said that. No more questions. Don't ask anymore questions. That's top secret that is."

Hanley spoke again.

"But Hagrid, whatever Fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it!"

Magnolia mumbled quietly as she dragged her feet.

"I still think it's Quirrell. Plus, my scar hurts whenever he's near me. That can't be good."

Hermione and Ron ignored what she said, but Hanley hummed in thought at the possibility. Hagrid stopped walking and looked down at the children and explained.

"Codswallop! Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher."

Hermione inputted and Magnolia quietly groaned as all she wanted to do was to have a nap.

"Hogwarts teacher or not. I know a spell when I see one. I've read all about them. You've got to keep eye contact. And Snape wasn't blinking."

So you decided to set him on fire?

Hanley added enthusiastically.

"Exactly!"

Hagrid let out a big sigh and murmured sternly.

"Now you listen to me, all four of you. You're meddling in things that ought not to be meddled in. It's dangerous. What that dog is guarding is strictly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel."

Oop, there it is.

Hanley's eyes widened and he asked in shock.

"Nicholas Flamel?"

He shared a look with Ron and glanced at a tired looking Magnolia, who yawned silently and looked like she was about to drop at any minute. Hagrid froze and mumbled to himself as he walked off.

"Shouldn't have said that. I should not had said that. I shouldn't have said that."

Hanley then turned to the other three and asked.

"Nicholas Flamel. Who's Nicholas Flamel?"

Ron shrugged and Hermione shook her head and muttered an "I don't know". Magnolia's response was to sit on the ground and ask tiredly as she held her arm out.

"Can someone drag me to the Common Room, please? My legs feel like jelly and I can't be arsed to walk anymore."

Hanley and Ron smiled in amusement, but Hermione tutted and grabbed Magnolia's hand, using as much strength as she could to make her stand up.

"Come on, you're going to get your skirt and tights dirty if you sit on the ground for too long.. especially if you're dragged."

Magnolia let out a groan and she trailed behind Hermione, who was still holding her hand, guiding her as they walked into the castle.

Along the way, students complimented Magnolia and congratulated her on the Quidditch Match. The redheaded girl tiredly smiled and thanked them all.

And when they finally got to the Gryffindor Common Room, Magnolia let out a "yay!" and made her way over to the sofa. She flopped down onto it and Hanley sat next to her. She then layed down and used Hanley's thigh as a pillow. She mumbled as she closed her eyes, missing the blush that was currently on Hanley's face.

"So glad it's a Saturday.. no classes for today or tomorrow. Hurray."

She was silent after that until something popped into her mind. She raised her head and enounced.

"Hang on, it's Christmas soon. How are we supposed to get each others gifts if we can't go to Hogsmeade? We're only First Year's, we've got to wait till Third Year to be able to go."

That got the others thinking as well. Magnolia hummed and thought for a good few minutes before spotting Fred and George talking with Lee in the corner of the room. No doubt over what pranks to do. She sat up and called out for them, having an idea.

"Oi! Fred, George, Lee."

The three teens looked over and saw Magnolia staring at them. They all stood up and walked towards her. She looked up at them as they were standing in front of her. Fred and George spoke at the same time.

"How may we help you?"

Magnolia leaned on her elbow and suggested.

"Say. If we were to give you our lists of Christmas presents, and the money for the gifts, since we can't go to Hogsmeade and buy them ourselves. How much would you want to be paid to do so?"

The three hummed in thought before George held up a finger to say "one sec" and they turned around and started discussing in hushed voices. Magnolia then smiled and added, knowing they wouldn't resist this offer.

"Or, instead of getting paid, you can get as much pranking stuff from Zonko's as you want. I'll pay for it since you'll be going out of your way for us."

The three of them froze and slowly turned to face Magnolia. She had a smirk on her face and she raised an eyebrow. The boys then replied in unison.

"You have a deal."

Magnolia grinned and shook their hands as she muttered.

"Pleasure doing business with you, boys. We'll get these lists to you before the actual trip."

They nodded and walked off, looking thrilled. Magnolia let out a chuckle and directed her attention at her friends, who were a bit shocked at what had just happened. Magnolia stated as she got up from the sofa.

"What? I'm good at persuasion."

The others let out scoffs of disbelief and Magnolia chuckled as she walks towards her dorm for a nap.
