Quick-Quotes Quills are an interesting variation on quills that are enchanted to take dictation, because as Rita Skeeter has demonstrated ( GF18), a Quick-Quotes Quill is bewitched to elaborate on what is said to it, rather than simply writing down exactly what was said. On one level, this wouldn't matter in an exam, because either way the student would have to come up with the answers, but in a group of students it's undesirable to permit "dictation" quills, because students could hear each other's answers. Quills can be bewitched to take dictation ( OP7). What would a spell like that do, exactly? Well, let's consider some of the things we've seen quills bewitched to do in the books that might be relevant. They had been given special, new quills for the exams, which had been bewitched with an Anti-Cheating spell. On another level, the three have to get past several trapped doors guarding the Stone: the door in the flying-key room (bewitched to respond only to its key), the door guarded by the giant chessmen, and the doors in and out of the Potions room, which turn the room itself into a trap. In this chapter, Harry, Ron, and Hermione follow the would-be thief through the trapdoor being guarded by Fluffy, hence the chapter title. As the last of the exams concludes - History of Magic - the action slows down to real-time, and the rest of the chapter takes place on the afternoon and evening of the last day of the exams. The first few paragraphs of the chapter cover the weeks leading up to the end-of-year exams and the exams themselves. Under Harry’s invisibility cloak they make their way to Fluffy, lull him to sleep, and go through the trapdoor, past Devil’s Snare, a giant wizards’ chess set, and a potions riddle.
Fearful that Snape is about to make his move to get the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry, Ron and Hermione decide to go after it themselves.
