"He's getting paler," Miley remarked looking over at Quirrell. 

"Get any paler and someone might walk through him," Fred muttered and Miley and George chuckled. 

Miley, the twins, Harry, Ron, and Hermione checked to press their ears to the door to make sure Fluffly was still growling every chance they had. 

"Hermione, the exams are ages away. Give us a break," Ron said as the Golden Trio (Miley called them that in her head) entered the Great Hall for breakfast. 

"Ten weeks is not ages away," she snapped. 

Miley and the twins decided not to get involved in their argument and focused on their own things. "We should use that cloak for us," George said to Miley. "Yeah- George and I found some new interesting places we want to go to in the middle of the night," Fred nodded. 

"I'll ask Harry, he has the cloak," Miley answered, interested in what places the twins were talking about. 

The Easter holidays came by- they had much more work than during the Christmas holidays. Miley and the twins envied the Golden Trio because they had way less homework in comparison. 

Miley, who was tutoring the twins and Ron at the same time looked up to see Hagrid walk into the library. 

"Hagrid- what are you doing here?" Fred asked, following Miley's gaze. 

Hagrid shuffled into view, hiding something behind his back. He looked very out of place in his moleskin overcoat. "Jus' lookin'," he said glancing around. 

"What are yer up to?" he asked with a dubious look.

"Yer not still lookin' fer Nicolas Flamel, are yeh?" 

"Oh, we found out who he is ages ago," said Ron impressively. "And we know what that dog's guarding, it's a Sorcerer's St --"

"SHHH!" Hagrid yelped. 

"Come and see me later- I'm not gonna promise I'll tell you anything though," he scowled and left to look for the books he needed. 

"I wonder what he's up to," George said. 

"Probably something not good," Miley answered. 

"We'll find out when we see him later," Harry assured them. 

"Let's go see what section he was at," Ron said when Hagrid left the library with a book in his hands. He got up and came back with a few books in his hands. 

"Dragons!" he whispered, happily. "Hagrid was looking up stuff about dragons! Look at these: Dragon Species of Great Britain and Ireland; From Egg to Inferno, A Dragon Keeper's Guide."

"The first time we met, he told me he wanted one," Harry remarked.

Miley moaned and Fed gave her a funny look. 

"I think I know what he's up to," she answered.

"Who's there?" Hagrid called out. The twins, Harry, Hermione, and Ron walked inside Hagrid's hut when he greeted them. 

It was already a warm day outside but a fire was still going in Hagrid's hut. Miley looked at the fire and knew something was up. 

"So- yeh wanted to ask me somethin'?" he started. "Yes," Harry said not missing a beat. "What's guarding the stone besides Fluffy," Harry added. 

Miley shot him a look- he was pushing their luck. Hagrid told them too many things by accident, he surely wasn't going to tell them anymore. 

"I can't tell yeh," he gruffed.
