January passed quickly, filled with the continuing search for Flamel and the endless Quidditch practices Wood insisted that the team have. According to the increasingly obsessive captain, they would be in the clear for the cup if they beat Ravenclaw by more than a hundred points.

"We'll win hands down," Wood assured them after one particularly gruelling practice, which involved a great deal of sleet, freezing rain, and Drying charms. "Even if we don't score anything against Hufflepuff, the odds are in our favour to win the cup. All we have to do is beat Ravenclaw by a hundred points or more." He rubbed his hands together with glee, looking very much like a character from one of Dudley's favourite shows.

February quickly bled into March, and it was time for the Griffindore-Ravenclaw match. All of Wood's worries over the match and the first-years' fears that Quirrell, or Snape depending on who was doing the worrying, would attack Harriet were proven unfounded. She caught the Snitch within minutes, not even giving Ravenclaw a chance to score, and allowing Griffindore a 210 to 0 victory. It was the worst defeat the Eagles had suffered in almost twenty years, and they were not happy about it.

Still, the real excitement of the day wasn't actually the match. Instead, it was the fight that erupted with Ron, Neville, Dean, and Seamus on one side pitted against Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. Additionally, there was the little matter of Harriet's expedition into the woods on her broom, following Professor Snape as he confronted Quirrell about the protections of the Stone.

The days passed, Fluffy still apparently guarding the Stone, but a new threat soon appeared on the horizon. Exams were coming.

As a result, Harriet and Hermoine were spending increasing amounts of time in the library studying ahead so that they wouldn't have to cram the week before the tests. Yet, they didn't study all the time; they did take breaks occasionally. Mostly, however, these breaks consisted of spending time in the Common Room with their Gryffindore friends, keeping a watchful eye on Quirrell, or visiting Hagrid with Ron, Hermione, and Neville.

This had, of course, led to yet another problem.

Hagrid had a dragon.

That was the only thought that currently occupied Harriet's mind. She was sitting at a secluded table in the library, which was also currently occupied by Blaise, Ron, Hermione, and Neville. The five of them had earlier gone for a visit with the giant to uncover more information about the Philosopher's Stone, but they had been distracted from their original intent by a little problem... a little dragon problem.

'Hagrid has a dragon... well, a dragon egg really. But still, a dragon!' Harriet mentally groaned.

"A bloody dragon!" Blaise whispered exasperatedly to the others. "A dragon! The man lives in a wooden hut; dragons breathe fire!"

"I know, Blaise," Harriet murmured back. "What are we going to do about it? Dragons are illegal as pets; he can't keep it."

"Maybe the egg won't hatch," Neville supplied helpfully, looking at the others.
