[Harry, Ron and Hermione walking together across the grounds.]

Hermione: It can't be Hagrid. It just can't be.

"Of cause it can't be him. Have you met the man?" Julianne said. "He's too kind for that." Hagrid chucked at her.

Ron: We don't even know this Riddle. He sounds like a dirty, rotten snitch to me.

"Oh he is." Aurora glared. "He's a disgusting piece of shit!"

"Language, you lady." Julianne scolded.

"Ah-- English?" Aurora and Sirius high-fived.

Harry: The monster had killed someone, Ron. What would any of us done?

"We would already be tangled in that life threatening situation and running for our lives." Ron and Hermione nodded as Aurora said.

Hermione: Look. Hagrid's our friend. Why don't we just go ask him about it?

"Sure---?" James pursed his lips.

Ron: That'd be a cheerful visit. Hullo, Hagrid. Tell us, have you been setting anything mad and hairy loose in the castle lately?

"Ya were talkin''bou me." Hagrid chuckled.

Hagrid: Mad an' hairy? Wouldn' be talkin' 'bou me, now would yeh?

[The trio wheels, spots Hagrid grinning at them. They instantly look guilty.]

Harry/Ron/Hermione: No!

"Wow! Very convincing." Remus snorted.

[Hagrid looks at them curiously. Harry nods to the STRANGE CANISTER in his hand.]

Harry: What's that you've got, Hagrid?

Hagrid: Flesh-Eatin' Slug Repellent. Fer the Mandrakes, yeh know. Accordin' ter Professor Sprout, they still got a bit o' growin' up ter do, but once their acne clears up, we'll be able to chop 'em up, stew 'em, an' get those people in the hospital un-Petrified. 'Til then, you three best watch yerselves, all righ'?

"Only three?" Aurora pouted causing Hagrid to chuckle.

[They nod, watch Hagrid lope away. Just then, Neville comes running up. He looks pale with fright.]

"O-kay, what now?" Sirius groaned.

Neville: Harry, I don't know who did it, but... you'd better come.

[In GRYFFINDOR TOWER DORMITORY Harry's space is a disaster: trunk riffled, drawers flung open, bedclothes strewn on the floor.]

"Merlin's bloody beard." Sirius gasped.

Hermione: It had to be a Gryffindor. Nobody else knows our password. Unless,  it wasn't a student...

"Oh-- maybe Snape." Said James.

"Shut up, Jamsie." Julianne swatted his head.

Ron: Well, whoever it was, they were
looking for something.

Harry: And they found it... Tom Riddle's diary is gone.

"Knew that thing was trouble." Lily said.

[At HOGWARTS GROUNDS, Students stream into the Quidditch Stadium.]

[In MARBLE STAIRCASE, Harry, dressed in his Quidditch robes, dashes down the staircase with Ron and Hermione.]
