Y/n follows the trio out of the castle, listening to the explanation as to why exactly they are going to Hagrid's Hut. "Snape? You think Professor Snape has something to do with what's been happening?" Y/n's voice was filled with disbelief at the trio's accusation.

"Didn't you notice? In the girl's bathroom, Snape's leg was bleeding. And earlier at breakfast he was limping." Harry insists, looking back at Y/n as they traverse the pathway leading to Hagrid's. His insistence continues advocating his words further, "He had to have gotten that bite from the three headed dog!"

"But Harry, he's a professor. Why would he be trying to sneak past that beast?" Y/n questions, still not able to grasp the weight of Harry's words. The disbelief unwavering on her face that a professor could possibly do anything that the three are accusing.

"Whatever's hiding in there. Snape must want it." Hermione chimes in, solidifying Harry's accusations. Her eyes flicker with determination as she looks back at Y/n.

Y/n sighs, giving in to their accusations knowing they won't let up with them and goes along with their perspectives. Harry stops and points ahead of them, "Look there he is!" He announces motioning for the three to follow after him. "Hagrid!"

Hearing the voices of Harry, Hagrid turns around to see him and the others following in step behind him. "Harry! What are you all doing out here?"

"We have something important to talk to you about Hagrid." Harry's words are full of urgency as he looks up at him with determination in his eyes.

"Alrighty then, follow me and talk." Hagrid instructs, motioning the quadlet to follow him along towards his hut.

The four first years walk in tandem with Hagrid, who looks ahead ready to listen to what they need to tell him. Harry goes on to explain his theory that Snape put a curse on his broom, trying to injure him.

Hagrid quickly dismissed the accusations, his voice booming throughout the open field ahead of them. "Rubbish! Why in Merlin's Beard would Snape put a curse on Harry's broom!?" Hagrid shakes his head with a scoff in disbelief, rejecting the idea that Snape would do such a thing.

"I don't know! Why would Snape attempt to sneak past the three headed dog on Halloween?" Harry's tone held a hint of challenge at Hagrid's swift dismissal of his words.

Hagrid's eyes snap on to Harry, his gaze mixed with confusion and curiosity while his voice carries a hint of suspicion in his voice. "How do you know about Fluffy?"

"Fluffy?" Y/n and Hermione respond in unison, their mixed voices both filled with intrigue at this new information.

"That thing has a name?" Hermione continues, her brow stitched into a furrow and her tone now tinged with surprise.

"'Course he's got a name! He's my loyal beast, he is." Hagrid responded with a passionate pride in his voice. His voice wavering slightly as he continues, "Bought him off an Irish bloke I met in the pub last year." His sentence trails off, his words flowing with nostalgia as he tells his tale to the four students.
