A/N: This is for the Overheard in Hogwarts Challenge. The underlined stuff are the quotes we were given. I'll be doing a short series of drabbles that probably will have nothing to do with each other.


"I hate that god forsaken dog!" Ron yelled as he grasped at his bleeding shoulder.

"Now, don' be so rude ter Fluffy, he didn' mean no harm by it." Hagrid protected his over-sized, three-headed dog.

"But, he bit me!" Ron gasped.

"Well, we need ter treat tha' before ya die…" Hagrid started saying before Ron cut him off.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BEFORE I DIE?!" Ron screamed.

"He 'as venom in 'is teeth." Hagrid said as if that were obvious, which to him it probably was.

"Well, are you going to treat me or not?!" Ron asked impatiently.

"You have to apologize to Fluffy first." Hagrid told Ron.

"For what? He bit me, not the other way around." Ron said angrily.

"You kicked 'im afer he bit you."

"But it's my birthday! I'm not petting the dog! I'm not going near the dog!" Ron whined.

"All ya 'ave ta do is pet 'im on 'is head." Hagrid said happily.

"But, Hagrid. Please don't make me do near Fluffy again." Ron begged.

"I won' 'elp ya 'til ya pet Fluffy." Hagrid said before going into his house, leaving Ron, Hermione, and Harry on his doorstep with varying expressions of shock on their faces.

"I'm going to Dumbledore." Ron said before marching off to the castle. Harry and Hermione just shrugged and went to the common room to finish homework for Charms.

"Professor Dumbledore? May I speak to you?" Ron asked.

"Of course, Mr. Weasley. Anything in particular bothering you?" Dumbledore asked with a slight smile on his face.

"I got bit by Fluffy and Hagrid won't treat the bite he gave me." Ron complained.

"Why will he not treat you?" Dumbledore asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"I won't apologize to Fluffy for kicking him after he bit me." Ron stated sourly.

"Then apologize." Dumbledore said.

"I refuse to go near that thing again!" Ron shouted.

"You need to whatever Hagrid says and if he asks you to pet the dog, for the love of God, you pet the dog." Professor Dumbledore said matter-of-factly.

"But…but… Fluffy has three heads!" Ron said indignantly

"Oh, well then you better pet all three heads. You don't want the other two heads to get jealous and bite you, do you?" Dumbledore said with his eyes on full twinkle.

"THAT'S MY POINT! I'M NOT TOUCHING THAT DOG-THING EVER AGAIN! I ALREADY WAS BIT ONCE!" Ron yelled at Dumbledore like he was a nutcase.

"Well, I hope you like dieing." Dumbledore said walking away whistling tunelessly.

Ron stood there flabbergasted for a moment before he ran to pet Fluffy. He said sorry and then rubbed each head behind the ears. The dogs slobbered on him and he ran all the way back to Hagrid's.

"Hagrid?" Ron called out.

"Yes, Ron?" Hagrid said from his garden.

"I went and apologized to Fluffy. Look at the slobber on me! It got all over me though, so my wound may be infected now." Ron stated.

"Oh, you'll be fine then. Fluffy's slobber was the cure." Hagrid said before turning away and going back to work on his garden.
