a/n:C'mon people, I need some freakin' reviews. Notice that I revised the summary, and all of that stuff will indeed happen. Here's that long awaited (Heh, that's a laugh) chapter 3. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter # 3:Norbert of Dragons

Harry awoke with excitement for the day ahead. He changed into his robes, gathered his school materials and books and headed downstairs for breakfast. He grabbed a plate and started serving himself bacon, french toast and a cup of water. Hermione came down shortly after and sat next to him. "Can you believe it?" she asked him excitedly.

"Believe what?" Harry question, taking a bite of his french toast.

"The O.W.L tests of course! This year we're finally taking the exams!" she cheered, "Isn't that fantastic!" Harry didn't seem excited at all.

"I guess so." he said simply. Miles sat diagonally from him, looking over a piece of paper. The windows that were located near the ceiling flew open and owls came bursting in, shooting in all different directions. A large gray owl landed on Harry's shoulder with his subscription to "The Daily Prophet". He took off the rubber band that held it rolled up, on the front page he saw a crazed looking man holding up his prisoner code. He was fairly young, his hair shagged in his eyes and he had a scar across his left eye, vertically. Harry read the news and had a very bad feeling.

''Yesterday, The Daily Prophet received news about the escaped "Dan Atria". A death eater that followed in Voldemort's footsteps for three years. Captured at seventeen, he escaped just yesterday after his twentieth birthday. He is armed with a wand and is considered extremely dangerous. We have been notified he was last seen in Diagon Alley, purchasing several potions and ingredients.

He was sent to Azkaban three years ago for murdering three wizards and four witches. After the escape of Sirius Black, we fear that Azkaban is growing unsecure every minute. The Ministry of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has stated that 'He will be captured.'"

The picture could scare anyone who's never seen a prisoner of Azkaban. Harry's had encounters with Sirius Black, considering he's Harry's godfather. But Peter Pettigrew is the one who really should belong in Azkaban, he's the one who deserves to be punished. They understand why his animagus form had been a rat, because of his thievish ways and his lies. Still, hope was the only thing Harry could do to make sure Sirius was proven innocent. He rolled the newspaper up and put the rubber band around it.

After everyone was down eating, they were all off to their first classes. Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were assigned to one of their favorites-Care for Magical Creatures. With Hagrid. They walked outside to see their gigantic friend, sitting on the stairs of his hut.

"G'morning!" he said, happily. This year we'll b'studyin' dragons. Follow me." Hagrid said, walking toward the forest. Just around a few hedges was the smell of smoke. Scales lay on the ground, from a supposed reptile. A loud sniff was heard ahead and standing in front of them was a still growing dragon. Hermione's mouth fell open and Ron smiled.

"Bloody hell, Hagrid! Is that....Norbert?" Ron said, breathless.

"Sure is! Dumbledore says I could keep 'em for class!" he said cheerfully. "Now, Norbie 'ere is a Norwegian Ridgeback. Norwegian Ridgebacks are the smallest of dragons. But cleaning up after 'em is the bigges' problem, eh?" Norbert came just inches above Hagrid. He was coated with green scales, his wings were massive but beautiful. He would probably be as easy to ride as Buckbeak. His eyes were a cold yellow, he had fangs that as long and sharp as a butcher's knife. He was laying down, feeding on a fish of some sort. "Up Norbie!" Norbert immediately rose, staring at the teens with his yellow eyes. He opened his mouth and gave a loud scream. Several students stepped back. Miles and Harry were the only ones remaining from Norbert's cry. "Who wants a go, then?" Miles wiped bits of siliva from his face and set his books down. He stepped forward and sighed.

"Sure." he said quietly. Norbert lowered himself back down for Miles to climb on, he hopped on and sat for awhile. Until he took off toward the others. This was going to be one hell of a ride.

a/c:Sorry for the short chapter, just had to get one in somewhere. Please review!
