I was returning to Hogwarts after Christmas break.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and I, were all in the library looking for any information on Nicholas Flamel.

Hermione had gone off looking, while Harry, Ron, and I were reading.

Suddenly there was a big THUMP on our table, making the three of us jump.

"I had you looking in the wrong section. How could I be so stupid? I checked this out a few weeks ago for a bit of light reading." Hermione explained.

"This is light?" Ron asked.

Hermione just brushed it off. "Of course! Here it is! T"Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosophers stone."

"The what?" Harry, Ron, and I ask together.

"Honestly, don't you three read?" Hermione asks. "Y/n I know you do, but clearly not as much as you need to."The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers. It'll transform any metal into pure gold and produces the Elixir of Life which will make the drinker immortal."

"Immortal?" Ron asked.

"It means you'll never die," Hermione explained.

"I know what it means!" Ron protested.

"Shh!" Harry silenced Ron.

"The only Stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicholas Flamel, the noted alchemist who last year celebrated his 665th birthday." That's what Fluffy's guarding on the 3rd floor. That's what's under the trapdoor. The Philosopher's stone." Hermione concluded.

We all look at each other, concerned. 

Later, we're all running across the castle grounds to Hagrid's hut.

We knock on the door, to which Hagrid answers in an apron and oven mitts.

"Hagrid!" Harry yells.

"Oh, hello, sorry, don't wish to be rude, but I'm in no fit state to entertain today." He states, and starts to close the door.

"We know about the Philosopher's stone!" We all shout.

"Oh." Hagrid says.

We all come into his hut.

"We think Snape's trying to steal it," Harry declares.

"Snape? Blimey, yer not still on about him, are yeh?" Hagrid asks.

"Hagrid, we know he's after the stone, we just don't know why," Harry says.

"Snape's one of the teachers protecting the stone. He's not about to steal it." Hagrid says.

"What?" Harry asks.

"You heard. Right. Come on now I'm a bit preoccupied today." Hagrid bluntly says.

"Wait a minute. One of the teachers?" Harry inquired.

"Of course! There are other things defending the Stone, aren't there? Spells, enchantments." Hermione states.

"That's right. Waste of bloody time if yeh ask me.  Ain't no one gonna get past Fluffy. Hehe. Ain't a soul knows how, except for me and Dumbledore. I shouldn't have told you that. I should not have told you that." Hagrid admits.

Then Hagrid rushes over to grab something.

It was an egg. We all gather around to look at it.

"Um Hagrid? What is it?" I ask.

"That? It's a... it's um.." Hagrid stutters.

"I know what it is!" Ron yelps. "But Hagrid, how did you get one?"
