They knocked on the door of Hagrid's hut just an hour later. Y/n was surprised to see all the curtains closed like something was going on.

"Who is it?" Hagrid asked before letting them in and promptly shutting the door behind them.

"Oh my god Hagrid it's so hot in here." Y/n exclaimed. Even on such a warm day there was a fire going.

"Yeah, you wanted to ask something." Hagrid said.

"We were wondering what was guarding the stone other than Fluffy." Harry asked.

"I can't tell you that." Hagrid frowned, "One I don't know, two you know too much already and I can't tell you even if I knew. The stone's here cause it was almost stolen from Gringotts. Beats me how you even know about Fluffy." He continued.

"Oh, come on Hagrid, you might not want to tell us, you know everything that goes on round here," Hermione said warmly. "We only really wondered who had done something to guard it really. We want to know who Dumbledore trusted enough."

"Well I suppose I could tell you that, he borrowed Fluffy from me, some of the teachers did enchantments, Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick Professor McGonagall, Professor Quirrell and Dumbledore himself. And Professor Snape." He listed.

"Snape's doing something to protect the stone?" Y/n asked.

"Are you still on about that." Hagrid paused. "Look Snape is helping protect the stone, he's not trying to steal it."

"You're the only one that knows how to get past Fluffy right Hagrid." Harry said.

"Just me and Dumbledore." Hagrid answered.

"Hagrid can we open a window, I'm boiling." Y/n asked.

"Can't Y/n sorry." He said moving over to the fire and moving away the curtain to reveal a huge egg.

"Where did you get it Hagrid." Ron asked moving towards the fire to look at it.

"I won it, last night. I was in the village having drinks and got into a game of cards with a stranger. He looked glad to get rid of it to be honest." Hagrid said.

"What are you going to do with it once it's hatched Hagrid?" Hermione asked watching the fire.

"I've been doing some reading." He said getting a book from a shelf above the fireplace. "Got this out of the library Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit it's a bit out of date of course, but it says exactly what I've got to do. Keep the egg in the fire cause their mothers breathe on them, see, and when it hatches, feed it on a bucket of brandy mixed with chicken blood every half hour. And it shows different eggs and how to identify them. What I got there's a -" He was cut off by Y/n.

"Norwegian Ridgeback." She whispered approaching the fire and standing next to Ron. They all looked at her shocked that she knew that. "What? I had a lot of free time when I was stuck in my room, I did a lot of reading." She said looking around at all of them.

"Hagrid you live in a wooden house." Hermione stated after a while of silence.

"He's not listening let's go." Y/n said.

"Bye Hagrid, owl me when it's hatching." Harry said opening the door and walking out followed by Ron, Hermione and Y/n.

"Well that's another thing on our list to worry about." Y/n said. "What if someone finds out Hagrid has a dragon in his hut illegally?" She asked worriedly.

"He'll work it out Y/n. What books would you read when you were stuck in your room?" Harry asked trying to change the subject.

"I read a lot about creatures and stuff like that and Quidditch, I stuck out a lot to practice as well." She said. The four of them continued walk back to the common room.
