Constance Vigilance:

My vote is for a Thestral trip. This helps solve the riddle of how 
Hagrid could find them on the rock anyway (Thestrals are good at 
finding things), how he could have landed without alerting anyone, 
and how there was no evidence of his transport (the Thestral landed, 
Hagrid dismounted and the Thestral flew away).

CV, congratulating Pippin on wiggling out of the apparently 
overwhelming evidence that Snape is no vampire. Oh, and Quirrell 
Lives!
