"Ever since you mentioned Nicolas Flamel we've been trying to find out who he is."You what?" Hagrid looked shocked. "Listen here, I've told yeh, drop it. It's nothin" to you what that dog's guardin'."We just want to know who Nicolas Flamel is, that's all," said Ron."Unless you'd like to tell us and save us the trouble?" Henry added. "We must've been through hundreds of books already and we can't find him anywhere, just give us a hint, I know I've read his name somewhere."I'm sayin" nothin, said Hagrid flatly."Just have to find out for ourselves, then," said Ron, and they left Hagrid looking disgruntled and hurried off to the library.Harry and Hermione shared a look before all 8 first years started laughing hysterically. "They are haven't found what Fluffy is guarding yet?" Harry gasping in between his laughter. "How are they that stupid?" Draco asked. "They found out most of the information before us, we stole some from them for Merlin's Beard" Pansy giggled. Once the holidays had started, Harry and his friends were having a good a time despite missing their families, they had the common room to themselves as the only Slytherins to to stay for Yule, so they were able to get the good armchairs by the fire for the first time. They sat by, enjoying the heat, eating anything they could stick on on a toasting fork; bread, English muffins, and marshmallows. While plotting ways of getting Potter and Weasel expelled, which were fun to talk about even if they wouldn't work.
