For a huge Castle in the Highlands, word gets around quicker then a house on fire, the news of Terra finding a baby Unicorn foal, that seemed to make her popular especially with Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil. Thankfully her Father arrived that afternoon to take the foal back to Devon, the foal seemed to not like the idea of leaving Terra, but she knows it will calm down once it settles at the cottage, not to mention it'll be the end of term within a month. Beside from that, Harry, Ron, and Hermione told her about what Firenze told Harry about what killed the Unicorn is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and Snape is trying to get the Stone for him.


"But He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is afraid of Dumbledore, I doubt he would try take something under his noise while he is in Hogwarts," Terra said to them as they walk up the stairs.

"That's what I told them," Hermione says.



In weeks pass the End of Year Exams have begun, the writing papers was held in swelteringly hot large classroom, with Anti-Cheating spell quills. When it came to practical exams, each would mark them differently depending on how well the student does, in charms Professor Flitwick called in his students one at a time, Professor McGonagall watched them when a student turned their mouse into a snuff-box, and when it came to Professor Snape, he made them very nervous, even more then usually if that was even possible when he studied them while they try to make the Forgetfulness Potion. Terra noticed that Harry kept touching the scar on his forehead, recalling how she first saw that happening when in the Forest during the encounter with the Hooded Figure, she had a few nightmares during the first week before the Exams, Rolf had made her Dreamless Sleeping Potion after the second night, she was glad she did not get them anymore, but that fear of Voldemort trying to come back did clouded over her, but revisions did keep her busy.

When the last Exam was done, the quartet decided to wandered to the Black Lake and flopped under the tree, it did feel good of getting the tests done, and the stress lift off one shoulders. Terra laid on the grass, using her bag as a pillow while looking up at the clouds.


"No more revision," Ron sighed happily, stretching out on the grass. "You could look more cheerful Harry; we've got a week before we find out how badly we done there's no need to worry yet."


Harry was rubbing his forehead.


"I wish I knew what this means!" Harry burst out angrily. "My scar keeps hurting, its happened before, but not like this."

"Go to Madam Pomfrey," Hermione suggested.

"I'm not ill," said Harry. "I think it's warning... it means danger's coming..."


While they talk, Terra did think back on how the Stone is protected, several teachers have taken part of it, so as long as no-one knows about how to get pass Fluffy they still got over forms of Magic to get it, but something did find it odd to her, out of nowhere someone had a dragon egg and betted it on a game of cards, she does remembers how her Father worked on stopping traders from bring creatures into the UK without proper papers, and how normal for someone to get caught quick every two other days was standard routine.

Then it clicked, and Harry had the same thought, the two suddenly jumped to their feet.


"Where are you two going?" Ron asked sleepily.

"Going to Hagrid's," Terra answered, grabbing her bag.


Ron and Hermione hurried after them when they started running.
