SCARLET'S POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NIGHTTIME HAGRIDS HOUSE

  We were all currently running to Hagrid's hut, it was nighttime so we tried to be as quiet as we could. Though, it was a bit hard to do since their were leaves that scattered the ground, crunching under our feet. We
came up to his hut and knocked on his door, he opened the door with an apron on,
" Hagrid! " he looked at us looking tired,
" Oh, hello. Sorry, don't wish to be rude, but I'm in no fit state to entertain today. " he was about to close the door when we interrupted him,
" We know about the Philosophers stone! " he stopped and looked at us,
" Oh " he reopens the door and we walked inside, we walked over to a round table with some sort of egg in it. weird.
" We think Snape's trying to steal it " Hagrid looked at Harry, shocked,
" Snape?, Blimey Harry you're still not on about that are you? " Harry looked at him,
" Hagrid, we know he's after the stone. We just don't know why " he looked at us,
" Snape is one of the one's protecting the stone! why on earth would he want to steal it? " we looked at him confused.
" what? " I asked, he looked at me.
" You heard. Right. Come on, now, I'm a bit preoccupied today. " I looked at the egg for a sec before turning back to Hagrid,
" Wait a minute. One of the teachers? " I looked at Hermione and her eyes widened,
" Of course! There are other things defending the Stone, aren't there? Spells, enchantments " he looked at her,
" That's right. Waste of bloody time, if you ask me. Ain't no one gonna get past Fluffy. Hehe, not a soul knows how. Except
for me and Dumbledore " he then realized what he said,
" I shouldn't have told you that. I shouldn't have told you that. " I then saw something burning and looked over and saw the egg in a pot by the fire.
" Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! " I looked at him as he put the egg down on the table,
" Uh Hagrid, what exactly is that? " he looked at me, he looked nervous though. He rubbed his beard before answering.
" That? It's a ... its um... " Ron's eyes widened,
" I know what that is! but Hagrid, how did you get one? " Hagrid looked at Ron,
" I won it. Off a stranger I met down at a pub. Seemed quite glad to be rid off it, as a matter of fact " Looking back at the egg we see that it's beginning to shake and rattle.
"Uh Hagrid?" I asked, pointing towards the shanking egg. His eyes widen along with ours when a dragon broke free from within the egg.
" Is that...a dragon? " Kirsten and I asked,


" That's not just any dragon. That's a Norwegian Ridgeback. My brother works with them back in Romania " Ron replied
" Isn't he beautiful? Oh. Bless him, look. He knows his mummy. Hehe. Hello Norbert " Hagrid said, I looked at him,
" Norbert? " I asked,
" Yeah, well, he's got to have a name, doesn't he? don't you Norbert? " he looked down at ' Norbert' and scratched his chin, causing
him to throw up fire, Hagrid's beard catching on fire in the process. He smakes his beard until nothing is left but a little singe in the middle.
" Well...he'll have to be trained up a bit, of course. " he then looked outside,
" Who's that? " I looked out and I saw blonde hair; Malfoy.
" Malfoy " I replied, Hagrid's eyes widened. Knowing that he was trouble
" Oh, dear. " Harry exclaimed
" Its crazy, and worse, Malfoy knows " Ron replied, Kirsten looked at him.
" I don't understand. Is that bad? " We turned a corner and saw prof. McGonagall, I looked at her and then looked back at Kirsten before nodding.
" Its bad " I replied. McGonagall looked at us, disappointed,
" Good Evening " and behind her was yup you guessed it, Malfoy.

"Nothing, I repeat, nothing gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. Therefore, as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken. " I gasped at her, Malfoy stood in the corner; smirking. God I wanted to smack it right off of his face.
" 50?! " McGonagall looked at me,
" Each. And to ensure it doesn't happen again, all six of you will receive detention. " Malfoy's smirked vanished.
" Excuse me, Professor. Perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said..."the six of us." she looked at him,
" No you heard me correctly Mr. Malfoy. You see, as honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. You will serve detention with your classmates. " he frowned and looked at us, we smiled at him and waved. Good, that git deserved it.
