Is This a Good Time?!!

On the first floor, they ran into Hagrid. Hagrid was leading Grawp outside.

When he saw them, he split his huge mouth in a grin.

"Boys, watch me go beat them up!"

As they passed the second floor, they saw Professor McGonagall leading Neville and several Dumbledore's Army members outside, bloodstained vines hanging from their hands.
