The Magic Within
Chapter 10: Norbert the Dragon
AS Night fell over the grounds and Castle of Hogwarts Abbie sat on her bed going over everything that had happened. What that three headed dog was guarding was the Sorcerer's Stone.
Looking down at her watch Abbie realized it was time to meet up with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Abbie got out of bed and pulled on her Hufflepuff cloak and pulled on her sneakers. Walking down to the Hufflepuff Common Room she could hear the seventh and fifth years study in their dorms for their O.W.L.'s and N.E.W.T's.
Abbie walked out of the common room and hid in the shadows when she heard a voice say, "Pssh. Abbie. Abbie." Abbie turned around with her wand on her wand and whispered, "Whose there!"
There was the swish of a cloak and Harry, Ron, and Hermione appeared and Abbie said, "What the heck you scared the life out of me."
"Sorry Abbie. I forgot you didn't know about my invisibility cloak."
Hermione then said, "Hurry up and join us under it before Filch comes around and catches us."
Abbie nodded and joined the others under it and then Harry wrapped it around them. The four of them then slowly made their way to Hagrid's hut. As they stood in the front of Hagrid's hut Harry took off the cloak and Abbie said, "Ready guys?"
Hermione and Ron nodded slowly and Abbie then knocked on the door and Hagrid opened the door and said, "Sorry but I'm in no fit state to entertain today."
As Hagrid started to close the door to his hut all four of them then said, "We know about the Sorcerer's Stone!"
He reopened the door and said, "Oh." He then left the four of them in and Hermione and Abbie sat together is Hagrid's chair and Harry and Ron sat next to each other with Hagrid's dog Fang sniffing Ron's ear.
Harry then said, "We know that Snape's after the stone we just don't not sure why."
"Not still on about Snape are you? Snape is one of the teacher's protecting the stone."
Hermione and Abbie looked at each other and Hermione said, "Of course there are other things protecting the stone spells, enchantments."
"Yeah bloody waste of time if you ask me. No one's going to get past Fluffy. Nobody knows who except for me and Dumbledore. I shouldn't have told you that. I shouldn't have told you that."
There was then a rumbling sound coming from Hagrid's fireplace. The four of them looked over as he pulled out a big black egg. Hagrid out on the table as it cracked open and a little dragon popped out.
Hermione asked, "Is that a Dragon?"
"Yup one of the dragon's that are out there. I believe that is a Norwegian Ridgeback."
Ron nodded and said, "Yeah it is. My brother Charlie works with them in Romania."
The dragon then looked over Hagrid who said, "Bless him he knows his Mommy. Isn't that right Norbert?"
"Norbert?"
Hagrid, "He needs a name doesn't he."
He then tickled "Norbert's" chin and in response the dragon breath fire and set Hagrid's beard alight. As Hagrid tried to put the flame out Abbie did a sign like Hagrid was losing his mind.
He then said, "Of course he'll have to be trained up a bit. Who's that?"
The four of them looked back and saw a boy with long black hair, a crooked smile, and two different colored eyes. Abbie said, "Crap. Crap. Crap."
Hermione said, "Abbie you know that person?"
Abbie didn't answer she just kept saying crap as if she didn't hear Hermione. Harry then walked over and shook her and said, "Abigail we need to know who that is!"
Abbie looked over and said, "Justin Manyard. He's in Hufflepuff. But if you ask me he should be in Slytherin he's as evil as they come. Did you just call me Abigail?"
Harry didn't answer her he just said, "We should head back to the castle if he knows about Norbert he can tell anybody at any time."
The other's nodded and they started walking back to the castle but they forget to put back on the invisibility cloak and Harry was saying, "Hagrid always wanted a dragon he told me so the first time I ever met him. And now Justin Manyard knows."
Hermione then said, "I don't understand is that bad?"
"Oh yeah. It's as bad as having a vicious dog."
XxX Sorcerer's Stone XxX
The four of them then walked back into the castle and Professor McGonagall was there and was said, "Good evening."
The four of them stopped dead in their tracks and she said, "Follow me."
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Abbie saw Justin walked out from behind her as they followed her into the Transfiguration classroom. Abbie was standing by Hermione and far away from Justin. There was always something about Justin that seat him on edge and made her not trust him. And the reason wasn't that he was always going on about how Voldemort had the right idea to get rid of the Muggleborns. But the fact that his parents were Death Eaters and in prison for something that she didn't want to know.
"Nothing I repeat nothing gives a student to be out of bed at this time of night. Therefore I will be taken 50 points from each of your houses."
Harry then exclaimed, "50?"
"Each. And the five of you will receive detention."
Justin the stepped forward and said, "I must have misheard you Professor but don't you mean the four of you instead of the five of us?"
"No. You see as noble as your intention were you were also out of bed after hours so you will join your classmates in detention."
Harry and Ron then looked over at Justin who just stared back and said, "I'll get you back for this Abigail."
Abbie then quietly said, "I didn't tell you to get out of bed and try to see what we're doing you brought that upon yourself. But you always are trying to see what I talk about with my friends. If you minded your own business you wouldn't be in detention."
As Justin opened his mouth to say something Professor McGonagall said, "Enough. Get back to your dorms and go to bed. I will be telling Professor Sprout in the morning about the two of you getting detention."
Abbie nodded and walked back to her dorm ahead of Justin because of the feeling that she was getting from him. Once she was in her dorm she got changed into her pajamas and then laid down on her bed and laid down. Abbie felt tears running down her face because for the first time she had gotten detention and was afraid of what her mother was going to say when she found out.
Abbie eventually fell into an uneasy sleep and she could see Norbert weaving in and out of her dreams but no matter how much she wanted to wake up she couldn't.
A/N Yeah another chapter. I just finished watching the movies… again. So what better way to celebrate then with an update? I'm going to be working on the 11th chapter as soon as I post this. There are going to be 5 more chapters and then I'm done with this story. I can't believe that I only have 5 more chapters to type up before I start working on the sequel. I know this is short sorry but it's only Norbert but I promise that next chapter is going to be longer. I promise. Hope that you liked this chapter. Love you all. Read and Review. Peace Out
