[It is snowy in daytime, Harry is out in a main courtyard, bundled up, with Hedwig on his arm. He stops and she lifts off, soaring away into the sky. As the time passed when she returns, it is now spring time.]

Harry: Hi, Hedwig. [Hedwig has just flown down to the table where Harry, Juniper, Ron and Hermoine are studying]

Hermione: Look at you, playing with your cards. Pathetic! We've got final exams coming up soon.

Ron: I'm ready. Ask me any question.

Hermione: Alright, what are the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?

Ron: I forgot

Hermione: And what, may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?

Ron: Copy off you?

Hermione: No, you won't. Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we're to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell.

Ron: That's insulting! It's as if they don't trust us! [checks a card, irritated] Dumbledore again!

[Just then, Neville Longbottom comes hopping into the Great Hall with his legs stuck together as the other students laugh at him.]

Juniper: Leg-Locker Curse?

Harry: Malfoy. [Neville approaches them amidst laughter from the other students]

Ron: You have got to start standing up to people, Neville.

Neville: [wobbling uncontrollably] How? I can barely stand at all!

Seamus: [jumping up, wand at the ready] I'll do the countercurse!

Neville: No, that's all I need! You to set my bloody kneecaps on fire!

Seamus: [slamming his wand down angrily] I don't appreciate the insinuation, Longbottom. Besides, if anyone cares to notice, my eyebrows have completely grown back! [He then stalks off angrily, showing a large chunk of hair missing from the back of his head.]

The people in the great hall laugh

"If only he knew" Juniper said.

Harry: I found him! [hands Ron a Chocolate Frog card of Dumbledore]\

Ron: "Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark" Wizard Grindelwald in 1945–"

Juniper: Go on.

Ron: "-for his discovery of the 12 uses of Dragon Blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel!"

Harry: I knew the name sounded familiar. I read it on the train that day.

Hermione: [beaming excitedly] Follow me!

[the Trio tears out of the Great Hall, leaving poor Neville still flailing around]

Neville: Hey! Wait! Where are you going? What about the countercurse? [Before he can say another word, he topples over backwards and then falls to the ground. The other students start laughing.]

[In the library, Harry and Ron are seated, reading until Hermione comes up with a huge book and thumps it onto the table making Harry jump.]

Hermione: I had you looking in the wrong section. How could I be so stupid? I checked this out a few weeks ago for a bit of light reading.

Juniper: This is light?

Hermione: Of course! Here it is! [as she reads the description in the page] Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone.
