Chapter 5
The forest seemed especially dark to Hermione tonight, but that was most likely due to the fact that she was pretty much alone in there with Malfoy. Ron and Harry weren't there to cheer her up. Hagrid wasn't helping much either, because he wouldn't get within speaking distance of her: probably because he didn't want to discuss the dragon. Hermione didn't know what to expect from Malfoy. At any given moment he could curse her and nobody would be able to do much about it. This is why she kept her hand in her robes, right beside her wand... just in case.
Despite her efforts to stay ahead of Malfoy, he seemed to be keeping right beside her. Apparently he didn't mind walking beside her as much as he pretended he would hate it. Just as Hermione was going to try a different tactic of slowing down to stay behind him, Hagrid stopped just ahead. Fang, at Hagrid's heels, had become still and alert. Hagrid turned around slowly and motioned for the two to come to him.
"Hagrid, is it the dragon?" questioned Hermione as silently as she could. Hagrid, smiling at the thought of a dragon being so nearby, nodded and motioned for them to go ahead of him. Against her will, Hermione looked over at Draco helplessly. He seemed as scared as she felt, so at least she wasn't in this alone. Draco and Hermione walked slowly forward. Hermione looked back over her shoulder just in time to see Hagrid pulling out an umbrella and taking Fang to hide behind a bush. "You'd think they'd get the ministry for a job like this! Or something..." muttered Malfoy to himself more than to Hermione.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash up ahead. Hermione, without thinking, quickly clutched Malfoy's arm. It seemed to occur to Malfoy that a Mudblood was clutching to his arm a few moments later and he shook her off, though he didn't look angry at all. The two inched forward, both shaking viciously. Suddenly a large figure entered their vision. It was the dragon. It looked like a Norwegian Ridgeback, just like Norbert had been. But before Hermione could ponder on the subject much longer, the dragon saw them.
"Er, Hermione? I think this is the time to run back to Hagrid..." Malfoy whimpered, turning around and following his own orders. Hermione followed suit and soon the two were running the thirty or so feet back to where Hagrid and Fang hid. The dragon followed them, taking the bait. When the dragon was close enough, Hagrid jumped out from behind a bush and cast a stupor spell on him with his wand*. The dragon immediately froze in place.
Draco and Hermione were standing feet behind Hagrid and were both still shaking. Hermione then realized that she was clutching Draco's arm and this time he had not shaken her off. "Oh sorry," she apologized, removing her grip. Hagrid turned to them and said, "Great work ye two! Couldn'ta done it without ye!" He was looking a bit too cheerful for the moment, but Hermione wasn't surprised because she knew how much Hagrid liked dragons. "Are we done, Hagrid?" she asked, hopefully. "Er, well almost. All ye two haveta do is report to Professor Dumbledore and tell him how it went and all. I'll walk ye up to his office now..." he replied.
"What about the, uh, dragon?" Malfoy said, motioning his hand in the general direction of the dragon without looking at it. "Oh don't ye two worry about that. We'll leave him here fer now and I'll come back in a bit to move him." With that, the four of them started towards the castle.
************************************
Hagrid had already dropped Hermione and Malfoy off at the statue that was the entrance to Dumbledore's office. He'd already said the password ("Non- Pariels"), and was already on his way back to the dragon. Malfoy and Hermione stepped onto the moving stairway and reached the top in a matter of seconds. Malfoy then took the liberty of knocking on the office door.
Dumbledore answered looking quite cheerful. "Ah, hello you two. Did you, er, enjoy that delightful detention?" he asked them. Hermione looked at him in disbelief and Malfoy just shuddered. Dumbledore's face went concerned. "Weren't you even excited about meeting a famous dragon?" "A... famous dragon, sir?" questioned Hermione, looking up at him baffled. "Yes of course, did nobody tell you? He's the dragon on that television show.. er what's it called.. yes well sorry I've forgotten the name but you know him, right? He's trained and everything, otherwise I wouldn't have let them put you up to the job of finding him," he said looking slightly bewildered at the fact that nobody had mentioned to the students that the dragon was well near harmless.
"Ya, ya I've seen him before," Malfoy agreed, a bit more relieved sounding than before.

* Yes I do remember in Book 4 that one person is not enough to stupefy a dragon, but sucks for me because like I said, I'm making this up as I go along so when things like this happen there's not much I can do about it.ooo long sentence
A/N- Yes... I know, it's a famous dragon -_-. Let's not dwell on that too much... especially you Meru (if you ever get around to reading this chapter :P).
Reviews are welcomed and, er, needed might I say!
