Excuse me...
What are you doing out of bed?
You're just a first-year.
Yes...
Hello...
I'm from Gryffindor house as well.
I'm Hermione Granger.
And you are?
*YOU ANSWER*
I see.
Well you nearly gave me a fright.
I'm coming from the library.
Well...
As you know. Prefects are allowed to be out of bed after 10 o'clock.
But you are not.
Why are you sneaking around the grounds so late at night?
*YOU ANSWER*
Okay...
I see.
Well...
Don't tell anyone...
But I'll help you.
I was just checking out a book of the Hogwarts rules.
And...
It says here, if you had read it.
That "First-Year students or any students that are not Prefects...
must be in bed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. or at least in the house corridors."
Do you understand?
*YOU ANSWER*
Well...
You can borrow this book if you'd like.
It's the best copy in the library.
You want it?
*YOU ANSWER*
Okay...
I can give this to you.
But...
Make sure that you return it.
I don't want my name being tarnished
Here you go.
*SHE GIVES YOU THE BOOK*
Wait a minute...
Come here.
What's that on your face?
Is that a cut?
What are you doing?
You're sneaking around, aren't you?
Well...
You may not know this, but...
I have done my fair share of sneaking around this castle.
Okay, come on.
Tell me, spill it.
*YOU ANSWER*
You found Fluffy.
I mean, I shouldn't have told you what his name is but...
that's his name.
A three-headed dog named Fluffy. That's right.
Well it looks like he got you into did that, didn't he?
Well, I can fix it for you if you want.
I have some ointments and stuff.
Let me get my bag.
Here...
I have this tiny little bottle.
It has essence in it.
It's quite old.
But it's very pungent.
Okay, come here.
*SHE APPLIES THE POTION*
Is that better?
A little bit?
Well, I have to be looking out for the fir...
For the first years.
Especially Gryffindor.
Yes, it's alright. You're welcome.
What have you got behind your back?
Come on, let me see it.
Let me see it, come on.
*SHE TAKES THE OBJECT*
What is this?
You do know that Wizards don't actually wear this, right?
You must have muggle-born parents.
No, no, don't...
Don't be embarrassed, so do I.
They're dentists.
Well, you don't actually have to wear this.
They were just teasing you.
Yeah, You have some stuff tucked away in here.
Oh, a galleon.
Three galleons.
Did you buy your books yet for class?
*YOU ANSWER*
No?
Well, you better get on that.
Class is starting next week.
Didn't you go to orientation?
Where did you find these?
These are my friend's.
I'll have to return them to him.
Thank you.
He's always misplacing them.
I told him.
And...
Oh, my goodness.
Did Fluffy do this?
You know cellphones don't work inside the castle right?
I mean...
Did this work in the first place?
Oh, my. It's hanging by a thread.
Do you even want this back?
I can try to repair it for you, but...
Let's see.
REPARO.
I think it's toast.
I'm sorry.
Anyway...
I can help you get back to the corridor if you wish.
I'll teach you some spells, and I'll give you a few items that might help you along the way, okay?
*YOU ANSWER*
Okay.
Let me see your wand. Because I have mine right here.
This is my wand.
And let me see yours.
I see.
It's a bit thicker than mine.
Oh, shut up.
Well, one thing I can teach you...
to get around the castle.
Is "Lumos."
There we go.
Not so bad. It'll light your way.
And if you want it to stop all you have to do is say "Nox"
Little louder.
"NOX."
Very good. Here try it again.
"Lumos".
*YOU SAY "LUMOS"*
Louder.
"LUMOS"
There we go.
And...
"Nox".
"NOX".
Good.
I also have this.
If you want to carry this around.
Here. It's just a candle. It's not magic.
Well, you might get in trouble for
practicing magic.
Especially if you're sneaking around.
So..
I have one of these handy.
Let me put my wand away.
Now, you can't just be flailing around a weapon, you know?
It has a little door.
That the candle goes inside.
Alright.
Would you like to borrow this as well?
*YOU ANSWER*
Okay.
Here you are.
And let me take care of your wand.
Here in my bag.
I've got this wand case.
It's just a long box.
With some engravings on the side.
This box will protect your wand while you're sleeping...
Or bathing or anything else.
Here.
We'll open it up.
And inside...
There is...
This ribbon.
It opens up.
To a velvety case.
And you can just put your wand right inside.
Like that.
and cover it up.
Now it's smooth.
Okay.
Put the lid back on.
And there we go.
Okay.
I have a few other things that might be of interest to you.
I'm actually quite excited to be passing this along
This first one.
It's, um. It's a pill that you might want to take.
And it comes in this little box.
And if you open the box...
there are these tiny white pills inside
All you have to do...
is take one
Here you go.
and you
Should remember your spells better.
it's very helpful with memory, it wears off in about an hour, so
have it handy, you don't want to be in the middle of a battle or..
God heavens what have you and forget all of your spells?
Exactly.
Okay, now. If you want to get past Fluffy. I have a few options for you.
This...
is a potion.
It's a love potion
Now, I usually don't condone things like these.
What got mixed up in some nasty stuff?
but if you use it on an animal
it will just make them friendly towards you not romantic. Just..
Not trying to bite your face off
So I can give you this
and if you want
you can try to sneak it into Fluffy's water dish
It's a bit risky
usually I'm not one for taking risks but...
As I'm getting older
It's time for the adventure to pass on to somebody new
Ok, and I have this as well.
This...
Is how we got past Fluffy the first time.
There was a harp but if you play him just a bit of music
He'll warm up to you in no time
What do you think you just play?
Simple song, anything really.
Right.
Okay.
Last but not least.
This mask.
I know it looks a bit creepy but..
This mask works a little bit like the invisibility cloak.
You put it on.
You will assume the identity of somebody else.
It's a bit useful, if you get caught from far away.
But people can still see you so be careful.
You don't get to choose who you turn into. Nothing like the polyjuice potion, but a least it doesn't taste bad.
Okay, what do you think?
I think you're ready.
Okay, now head back to your dorm.
Please, before you get in trouble, and I get in trouble.
You could die out here or worse get expelled.
Hogwarts isn't as safe as everyone thinks. You have to be careful.
All right.
Well, it was nice to meet you. And remember, I didn't tell you anything.
Goodnight.
