The four Gryffindors rushed out of the library and towards Hagrid's hut.
Once they got there (y/n) stayed back, hesitant to go in. She never really interacted with the groundskeeper before, other than watching Draco and Crabbe try to throw jelly beans into the man's beard, which was not something she was very proud of.

The other three knocked excessively at his door. He opened it slightly peeking his head out.

"Hagrid!" Harry blurted out trying to push past into the hut.

"Oh ello, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and (y/n)?" (y/n) grinned sheepishly at the sound of her name. "Sorry don't wish to be rude but i'm in no fit state to entertain today!" He said quickly, trying to shut the door.

"We know about the philosopher's stone!" Harry continued prying open the door desperately.

Hagrid opened the door and muttered an 'oh' letting them in.

Walking into the small hut (y/n) looked around in amazement. It was cozy, with two couches set in front of a fireplace, one longer and bigger and one smaller fit for one, seated on the bigger couch is a large black Great Dane. (y/n) smiled at it and sat down beside it.

Harry didn't waste a second, "We think Snape's trying to steal it!"

"False, you three think Snape's trying to steal it, I think he's innocent!" (y/n) scowled hugging the big dog.

"He's not here you know, you don't have to keep kissing his arse." Ron whispered to her, she stuck her tongue out at him and pushed him away.

"She's right yknow." (y/n) grinned as Hagrid agreed with her.

"Hagrid we know he's after the stone, we just don't know why!"

Hagrid looked Harry dead in the eyes very seriously, "Snape is one of the teachers protecting the stone, he's not bout to steal it."

"Hah! Told you!" (y/n) squealed.

"Right c'mon now I'm a bit preoccupied." Hagrid looked very uneasy, (y/n) glanced around the room trying to figure out what his problem was.

"What a minute, one of the teachers?" Harry went on.

Hermione's face brightened, "Of course! There are other things defending the stone aren't there? Spells, enchantments."

Hagrid nodded his head, "Thas' right! Waste of bloody time if ye ask me, ain't no one gonna get past Fluffy." He chuckled, "Ain't a soul knows how, cept for me and Dumbledore."

His eyes widened at his own words. "I shouldn' have told ye that. I should not have-

Suddenly a pot in his fireplace started to shake uncontrollably. He reached in with gloved hands and picked up what looked to be a scolding hot egg.

He placed the egg on a table and everyone crowded around it.

"Uh Hagrid." Harry started, staring at the egg, "What exactly is that?"

"That- Oh it's uh- It's uhm- Hagrid stuttered clearly trying to think of a lie.

Ron's eyes went wide, "I know what that is! But Hagrid, how did you get one?"

"I won it, off a stranger I met at a pub, seemed quite glad to get rid of it matter' of fact."

(y/n) shook her head and scoffed, "That doesn't sound suspicious at all!"

Instantly the egg started shaking, as if it was going to blow.

In a blink of an eye pieces of the shell went flying, revealing a small dragon standing on the table. (y/n) found shelter behind Hagrid using him as a shield from the flying pieces of shell.
