"Harry just marry the bloody book already!" (Y/n) was annoyed. Harry kept talking about this stupid diary he had found and it was starting to annoy (Y/n).

"I just think there's something important about this diary."

"Some kid just threw away a diary they never used. Harry that whole thing is blank for God's sake!" (Y/n) shouted back at him.

"What's the harm of it (Y/n) like you said it's just a book" Harry retorted, (Y/n) crosses his arms. "Fine, but I don't like it."

It was Valentine's Day and Lockhart had sent dwarves to go around delivering Valentine's messages. The four of them were walking down a crowed hallway when they heard one of the dwarves call out.

"'Arry Potter I'm looking for an 'Arry Potter." Harry started to walk quicker, but (Y/n) grabbed him about the waist and lifted him off the ground.

"Get off get off let me!" He spat at (Y/n) "OVER HERE!" (Y/n) bellowed as loud as he can. The dwarf ran up to them and started to serenade them with a poem and a little music from his harp.

"His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad,

His hair is as dark as a blackboard.

I wish he was mine, he's really divine,

the hero who conquered the Dark Lord."

Once the dwarf had finished (Y/n) let Harry down again, who immediately punch him in the arm and stormed off. Ron was doubled over in laughter and Hermione was giggling.

"We better go after him" Ron said through laughs and he and Hermione ran down the hall.

"Hey wait up" (Y/n) called towards the dwarf. "I've got a favor to ask you" he said as he stopped the dwarf.

"And why would I do that?" He asked annoyed. "Listen kid I don't want to be here, and I don't want to do this. But that pompous git is paying me a lot for this."

"Well lucky for you I've got a special poem just for him" (Y/n) said handing him a piece of parchment.

The dwarf didn't even look at it. "I've been told only to perform authorized poems" he said boredly and turned to leave.

"Wait" (Y/n) said again and pulled a handful of galleons out of his robe pocket. "I'll pay you" the dwarf turned to him "fine then what do ya want" and (Y/n) told him his plan.

Ron groaned "why are you so happy (Y/n)" he snapped "what wrong Ronald, are you sad that you didn't get a message" (Y/n) mocked Ron scowled at him.

About half way through the feast a dwarf suddenly burst in through the door. Everyone fell silent and look at him.

"I've got a message for you Lockhart" he called out for everyone to hear. Lockhart stood up at the staff table. "Now now the time for messages are over" he said to the dwarf

"Got a special message here for you Lockhart" the dwarf pulled out his harp and cleared his throat.

"You're skull is as thick as a five layered wall,

When you perform magic you flap like a duck;

Once and for all in this here Great Hall

No one here give a flying fu-"

"That's enough!" Lockhart shouted at the dwarf, while the whole hall erupted into laughter.

"Who sent this? Whose idea was this?" Lockhart looked furious, and this only caused (Y/n) to laugh harder. He had never seen him look this angry before.

"Who sent you?" He asked the dwarf. "Ah yes the person gave me a name, it was from a Mr. None of your business." The dwarf said defiantly.

Lockhart was red in the face now, (Y/n) wasn't quite sure if it was from anger or embarrassment. Dumbledore placed a hand on Lockhart's shoulder, whispered something into his ear, and lightly pushed Lockhart back into his seat.

"Yes yes have your laugh, this is just want is needed during these troubling times. However if the culprit is ever found be sure that there will be serve consequences."

(Y/n) could've sworn that his eyes lingered on him for a second. "Now then let us return to the feast!"

It was a few weeks later and (Y/n)'s prank was still the talk of the school. (Y/n) heard, mostly from girls but also from boys as well, about how unfair the prank was as how awful it was. However he mostly heard people laughing about it.

(Y/n) was sitting in the common room reading a book with Ron complaining about his homework and Hermione attempting to explain it to him.

Harry suddenly ran into the common room. "It was Hagrid!" He said out of breath. "What're you talking about mate?" Ron asked him

"It was Hagrid fifty years ago he open the chamber" Harry said quickly. "Fat chance Harry, Hagrid would nev-" (Y/n) started quick to defend Hagrid.

"Riddle told me" he said. "What that git who owned the diary come on Harry you don't know him." "He showed me!" Harry said stubbornly.

"He showed you did he? Well then show us" (Y/n) said "W..what?" Harry said taken off guard. "Show us, show us what Riddle showed you"

"I can't" Harry said slowly. "Why not?" (Y/n) question pushing Harry closer to an outbreak. "I can't he showed me not you okay trust me" Harry said angrily.

"Harry I know you've got a brain somewhere use it! Hagrid's not the heir of Slytherin"

"Well maybe he just helped, you know how much he loves dangerous creatures." Harry responded. It annoyed (Y/n) how Harry would protect someone he had never met, over Hagrid.

"It does fit" Hermione said slowly deep in thought. "Hermione not you too!" (Y/n) said his voice raised. "Come on Ron you're with me right" he turned desperately towards Ron.

"I don't know mate" Ron started slowly "I mean if Harry said he saw it" (Y/n) sighed know that he was fighting a losing battle.

"Okay then say Hagrid did open the chamber or help the creature, why would Dumbledore keep him here?"

"I don't know maybe to keep an eye on him" Harry replied. "That's a good point" Ron added "Dumbledore might've kept him to protect him, maybe Hagrid didn't know what he was doing.

"I suppose that could be possible" (Y/n) said putting emphasis on the last word. "But I still refuse to believe it."
