The next day....Some time later
In the outdoor courtyard.The small group is walking.Along with them is Lucy,Juvia,and Wendy.
"I've always heard Hogwarts' end of the year exams were frightful,but I found that rather enjoyable." Meredy says.
"Speak for yourself.I bet you and Lucy passed with flying colors!"
"Alright there,Harry?" Gray asks him.
"My scar.It keeps burning."
"It's happened before." Lucy states.
"Not like this.Erza,how about yours?"
Erza looks to her brother. "I'll say this, it tickles.I'm not sure why."
"Perhaps you should see the nurse." Wendy suggests shyly.
"I think it's a warning.It means dangers coming.Uhh!" He rubs scar and then sees Hagrid across the field,at his hut. "Oh.Of course!" Harry runs for the hut.
"What is it?" Lucy asks.
"Don't you think it's a bit odd that what Hagrid wants more than anything is a dragon,and a stranger shows up and just happens to have one?"
Erza starts to catch on. "I mean,how many people wander around with dragon eggs in their pockets?Why didn't I see it before?" She finishes.
They approach Hagrid,who is playing the Harry Potter theme on his flute. "Hagrid,who gave you the dragon egg?What did he look like?" Erza asks. Hagrid stops playing his flute. "I don't know.I never saw his face.He kept his hood up."
"The stranger,though,you and he must have talked." Harry states.
"Well,he wanted to know what sort of creatures I looked after.I told him,I said, "After Fluffy, a dragon's gonna be no problem." "
"And did he seem interested in Fluffy?"
"Well,of course he was interested in Fluffy!How often do you come across a three headed dog,even if you're in the trade?But I told him.I said, "The trick with any beast is to know how to calm him.Take Fluffy,for example,just play him a bit of music and he falls straight to sleep." They gape.
"I shouldn't have told you that." The three take off. "Where you going?!Wait!"

We see Porlyusica in her classroom.Only the gryffindors come tearing in and run up the aisles between desks.They pass a ghost and stop at the desk.
"We have to see the Dumbledore Professors,immediately!" Erza states.
"I'm afraid they're both not here.He received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic and left immediately for London."
"They're gone?!Now?But this is important!It's about...the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry tells her.
Porlyusica looks to them,shocked. "How do you know?"
"Someone's going to try and steal it." Natsu tells her.
"I don't know how you three found out about the stone,but I can assure you it is perfectly well-protected.If you mind, would you go back to your dormitories?Now?Quietly!"They leave.

After exiting Flitwick's class,they walk down the hallway.
"That was no stranger Hagrid met in the village.It was Snape,which means he knows how to get past Fluffy." Erza sighs at her brother's comment. He's not all that bad....
"And with the Dumbledores gone-" Snape suddenly appears behind them
"Good afternoon.Now,what would young Gryffindors such as yourselves be doing inside on a day like this?"
"Uh...w-we were j-just..." Meredy stutters.
"You want to be careful. People will think you're..." Harry glares madly at Snape,who looks shocked.Erza puts her hand on Harry's wrist,then she looks to Snape apologetically. "Up to something.Oh,Ms. Potter,come with me for a brief moment please.It won't be long." Nodding hesitantly,Erza follows Snape and they disappear down the hall.
"Now what do we do?" Gray asks.
"We go down the trapdoor.Tonight."

In Snape's classroom,Erza sits across from him at his desk. "I know,you and your brother aren't fond of me Ms. Pott-" Erza cuts him off. "Please Professor,Erza's fine." She says with a grin.Sighing and slightly grinning,he shakes his head. "Just like your mother you are.Anyways,I have something I wanted to give you.While going through my things,I managed to find this." He holds up a ring. "Mirajane gave it to me at your parents funeral. We want you to have it." He puts it in her hand. "Take good care of it.Go."

Timeskip.......
It's Nighttime in the Gryffindor Common Room.The group of friends come down the stairs and begin to walk across the floor.They stop when they hear croaking.
"Trevor." Erza says,seeing the toad
"Trevor shh!Go, you shouldn't be here!" Ron whisper yells to the frog
Neville appears behind a chair. "Neither should you.You're sneaking out again,arent you?
"Now,Neville,listen.We were-"
"No!I won't let you! He cute Harry off,standing. "You'll get Gryffindor in trouble again!I-I'll fight you." He holds out fists.
"Neville,I'm really,really sorry about this..." Meredy starts,taking out her wand. "Petrificus Totalus."
Neville is frozen and falls backwards onto the ground.Meredy puts her wand back.
Ron gulps. "You're a little scary sometimes...you know that?Brilliant, but scary."
"Let's go." They all walk by him,saying sorry.
