Christmas Gift
[Anna and Rose are walking along a path with Hagrid, talking.]
Hagrid: Nonsense! Why would Snape put a curse on Anna's broom?
"Because he hates me." Said glaring James.
Anna: Who knows? Why was he trying to get past that three-headed dog on Halloween?
Hagrid: [turns to them, suspiciously] Who told you about Fluffy?
"Fluffy? That thing's name is fluffy?" Asked Lucius in disbelief.
Rose: Fluffy? That thing has a name?
Hagrid: Well, of course he's got a name. He's mine. I bought him off an Irish feller I met down at the pub last year. Then I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the...
Rose: Yes?
Anna: Why did you interrupt him, you idiot! [Anna smacked Rose on the head.]
Gryffindors, Barty and Evan chuckle.
Hagrid: Shouldn't have said that. No more questions! Don't ask any more questions. That's top secret, that is.
Anna: But, Hagrid, whatever Fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it.
Hagrid: Codswallop. Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher.
Rose: Hogwarts teacher or not, I know a spell when I see one. You've got to keep eye contact and Snape wasn't blinking.
Anna: Exactly.
Lily looks troubled.
Hagrid: [Sighs] Now, you listen to me, both of yeh. Yer 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.
"Oh, Hagrid." Said Lily.
Anna: [Curious and turns to Rose then back to Hagrid] Nicholas Flamel?
Hagrid: [Mumbles to himself] I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that. [He then leaves, mumbling to himself "I should have not said that"]
"No, you shouldn't have." Said Remus.
Anna: Nicholas Flamel. I remember it from somewhere.
"On chocolate frog." Said Regulus.
[Anna turns to Rose]
Anna: Who's Nicholas Flamel?
Rose: I don't know. [Shakes her head. Anna looks deep in thought.]
[It is now Christmas at Hogwarts, with snow falling. Hagrid is dragging a massive Christmas tree to the castle. The ghosts are singing Christmas songs.]
Ghosts: Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Ring the Hogwart bell. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas...[Anna and Rose are playing Chess.]
Anna: Knight to E5. [The Knight moves to its destination. ]
Rose: [With a smug face] Queen to E5.[Rose's queen goes over to Anna's knight and whacks the knight with her chair. Rose grins.]
Anna: I see you haven't packed.
Rose: Change of plans, my parents decided to go to Romania to visit my brother, Charlie. He's studying dragons there.
"Cool." Said Barty and Sirius.
[It is now Christmas morning. Rose is waking Anna up.]
Rose: [From downstairs] Anna, wake up! Come on, Anna, wake up! [Anna puts on her glasses and runs out of bed. She then looks down at Rose.]
Rose: [Looking up at Anna] Happy Christmas, Anna.
Anna: Happy Christmas, Rose. [Anna notices Rose's sweater.] What are you wearing?
Rose: [Looks down at sweater] Oh. My mum made it. [Looking back up at Anna] It looks like you've got one too.
Anna: I-I've got presents?
"This time, I'll spoil her. You will see it. I'll buy her everything she wants." Said Sirius.
Rose: [Nodding] Of course! [Anna runs down the staircase to see her presents.]
Rose: There they are. [Anna sees a note on the present and opens it, reading it out]
Anna: "Your father left this in my possession before he died. It is time it was returned to you. Use it well." [Anna looks over to Rose, who shrugs her shoulders. Anna then proceeds to open the remaining of her present. She pulls out a blanket-like object]
"Shit." Said Marauders.
"What?" Asked Lily.
Rose: What is it?
Anna: [Looking down at the object] It's some kind of cloak.
Rose: Well, let's see, then. Put it on. [Anna then wraps the cloak around her shoulders, making her body invisible.]
Rose: Whoa!
"You have an invisible cloak?" Asked Barty.
"That's how you keep getting away?" Said Evan.
Anna: [Looks down at her invisible body] I'm invisble!
Rose: That's an invisibility cloak! [Anna spins around, looking down at herself.]
Rose: They're really rare. [Rose looks down at the note.] I wonder who gave it to you.
Anna: [Now also looking down at the note] There was no name. It just said, "Use it well."
"It's definetly from Dumbledore." Said Barty. Regulus nodded.
Cloaked In Darkness
[Late that night, a lantern and hand appear, but nothing else. The ensemble walks through the dark library and into the Restricted Section. The lamp is put down, and the cloak removed, revealing to be Anna who searches the bookshelves.]
"She is using cloak for library?" Asked dissapointed James.
"At least it's restricted section." Said Sirius. James nodded. Others rolled their eyes at their dramatics.
Anna: Famous fire eaters. 15th-Century Fiends. Flamel. Nicholas Flamel. Where are you? [Anna picks up a book.]
"No, not that book!" Said Lily. Marauders looked at her with raised eyebrows, Lily blushed.
[She opens it. A man's face appears from between the pages, which screams madly and loudly. Anna immediately slams the book shut and puts it back.]
Filch: Who's there?! [Anna whips around and quickly grabs her cloak, causing the lamp to fall and shatter.] I know you're in there. You can't hide.[Anna puts on her cloak and creeps around Filch.] Who is it? Show yourself!
[Anna runs from the room, breathing heavily. She exits into the hall, where Mrs. Norris, who meows and begins to follow her. Anna runs around a corner, just as Snape and Quirrell appear. Snape pushes Quirrell into the wall.]
"Kinky." Said Barty.
Quirrell: Severus... I-I thought...
Snape: You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrell.
Quirrell: I don't know w-what you m-mean.
Snape: You know perfectly well what I mean.
"Why is he threatening him?" Asked Lily.
"He probably found out about Snivellus's plan." Said James.
[Snape senses something who causes Anna to stop breathing. Snape reaches out to grab something but doesn't. He whips his finger back in front of Quirrell's face.]
Snape: We'll have another chat soon. When you've had time to decide where your loyalties lie. [Filch arrives, carrying the broken lantern.]
Filch: Oh, Professors. I found this in the Restricted Section. It's still hot. That means there's a student out of bed. [Upon hearing this, Snape and Quirrell dart off.]
