Harry's Crazy Idea

The best thing about being Ravenclaw student is that there's always someone to answer your questions.

If you ask a question openly on the blackboard or in the lounge, there will always be Ravenclaws interested in answering it, and they might even tell you which book it comes from.

But today, Harry doesn't want to go back to the common room.

The Great Hall was packed with people, and many were interested in the story Ron had made up.

Dumbledore's apparent character collapse and Harry's worry that Ryan might take the Philosopher's Stone and leave Hogwarts made it imperative for Harry to shift his focus.

The fact that America wizards can stay awake all the time is a good excuse.

Harry had suspected it was Pepperup Potion, but Pepperup Potion aren't that effective.

Judging from the photos in the Daily Prophet, the America wizards all looked very energetic; not one of them yawned, and one was even playing with his hair out of boredom, yet none of them were dozing off.

If you consult Professor Snape, you should be able to get the answer to this question.

However, it's a bit strange, even though Professor Snape always regarded Harry as his favorite student.

But aside from the classroom, they hardly interacted in private, and Harry was always too embarrassed to meet his mother's friend.

Draco, as a Slytherin student, dared not approach his own headmaster, let alone Ron.

"Alright, let's go back to the lounge. There must be people in Ravenclaw House who know this, like Susan. She's just Hufflepuff, but she knows things that even Percy doesn't!" Ron suggested.

"Hagrid! We can go find an adult wizard! He might know!" Harry said excitedly.

"Hagrid and Potion-Making?" Draco looked incredulous.

Although Draco now considers Hagrid his friend, it's not that Draco looks down on him; Hagrid simply doesn't look like a bookish wizard.

He had also dropped out of school, and he believed Hagrid would know about Care of Magical Creatures.

"We can also find out what Hagrid said about last night to Professor Dumbledore," Harry suddenly thought of.

"Yes, even the Unicorn was easily dealt with by that black-robed wizard. We need to let Dumbledore know he's dangerous," Draco suggested.

Although he didn't want Harry to associate this with Voldemort again, it was indeed necessary.

"In my opinion, that person is Quirrell! Quirrell is from Ravenclaw, so it's not very surprising that he has such skills."

"He may have discovered a weakness of the Unicorn that no one else knows," Ron said on the way to Hagrid's Hut.

"Ron, you might be right. Quirrell's back of the head really could be Voldemort's!"

"This morning, I found a note left by Dumbledore on top of my Invisibility Cloak. It read: Just in case."

"That wizard is so dangerous, why did he have to leave me a message?!"

"I'm not bragging, but I might actually have magic against Voldemort. I defeated him when I was just a baby, and now I'm a wizard!" Harry hesitated for a long time before recounting what had happened that morning and his thoughts.

"Harry! You're crazy! Quirrell having You-Know-Who on the back of his head or anything like that was just nonsense I was spouting yesterday!" Ron stopped in his tracks, looking horrified.

"Yes, Harry, that 'just in case' might be so that we can tell McGonagall or Professor Snape in a critical moment."

"Hagrid mentioned before that we know about the fourth floor."

"I also know that the person who coveted the Philosopher's Stone has already broken through the first barrier!" Draco said hastily.

"No, that probably means I have to go!"

"My scar started hurting when school started. At the time, I thought it was Snape, but now I know it was Voldemort. Only Voldemort could touch my scar—you know, it was left by Voldemort!"

"In the first two Defense Against the Dark Arts, the power within me that was clearly not magic was triggered by Quirrell — Ron, you're right— Voldemort is right behind Quirrell's head!" Harry said firmly, while Ron and Draco both looked worried.

Amidst the argument, the three unknowingly arrived at Hagrid's Hut.

This time, Fang had already returned to the house, and before Harry could even knock, Fang came over.

Harry and Draco skillfully moved aside, and Ron got his face covered in Fang's saliva again.

"Children, are you all alright?" Hagrid emerged from the hut, his face filled with worry. "Last night was too dangerous. I don't understand why Professor Dumbledore— "

"So, Professor Dumbledore arranged this detention!" Harry exclaimed excitedly.

"Hagrid, we wanted to ask if there's anything that Sickle keep a wizard from sleeping," Draco asked hastily, afraid that Harry might say something outrageous, and also wanting Harry to stop thinking about those crazy things for the time being.

"Oh, it's the Daily Prophet!"

"A lot of strange creatures have been coming to Diagon Alley lately, but unfortunately—none of you have heard them!" Hagrid cleared his throat. "Besides Newt, I'm afraid only Newt and Professor Kettleburn, who teaches the Care of Magical Creatures Class, know the answer to this question in all of Hogwarts!"

"This has nothing to do with Potions!" Ron asked in surprise, not even noticing that his robe was already soaked with Fang's saliva.

"This is related to the Niffler!"

"The head of the Niffler is like that of a frog, with horns, fangs, and bright red eyes, and its body is similar to that of a large dog."

"It is a Care of Magical Creatures that mainly lives in Wisconsin, North America."

"It feeds on Mooncalf, whose horns, when ground into powder and ingested, can make a person immune to the effects of alcohol and allow them to go without sleep for seven days and seven nights."

"Moreover, there are absolutely no side effects, which is why America wizards often work overtime," Hagrid said, standing up and gesturing as he spoke.

"Eat Mooncalf! Thank goodness we don't have any Niffler here," Ron said with a shudder. "However, America wizards don't use Mooncalf— "

"Don't worry, the Niffler just likes to eat Mooncalf; it doesn't need them," Hagrid quickly explained.

"What is Mooncalf?" Draco asked, looking puzzled. He was only good at dealing with dragons and some curses.

"A very cute, Care of Magical Creatures that only comes out of its cave and dances on the night of a full moon," Ron explained.

Meanwhile, Harry was still lost in his own world.

"Aha! Did you hear that? Dumbledore arranged this detention on purpose. He definitely wants me to defeat Voldemort and save the Unicorn!" Harry said excitedly after leaving Hagrid's Hut.

"You're crazy, Harry. With Dumbledore around, you'd better not think about these things for now," Ron and Draco said in unison, ending the conversation.
