Kilnorc: Hiya! Here we go!
Weeks after the Snape-in-the-Forest incident, Quirrel seemed to be stronger than anyone thought. Everytime Harry or one of his friends passed him by, they gave encouraging remarks or smiles, and if anyone laughed or made fun of his stuttering,Yami, Brian, Joey and Ron defended him..
Tea, Kaiba, Ryou, and Hermione started concentrating on their schoolwork by studying for the upcoming exams. They set up schedules and color coded their notes for references, and started nagging everyone else to study. "C'mon you guys, exams are ages away!" Ron protested one day when they trapped them in the Great Hall. "Yeah, Seto, it's not for a long time!" Mokuba joined in, "Mokuba, it may not be for a while, but you still have to study," his brother said dragging him off. "Aw...Seto!" he whined as he was led off.
Serenity knew it was important to but she was pretty busy with her nightly raids with Bakura, she hardly got any sleep to care. Joey didn't like the fact that his sister was starting to do badly in school so he told Bakura they should stop whatever they were doing. Bakura seemed to agree immediately, so he had Serenity (or Niri w/e) to lay off and start sleeping more.
Brian was forced to agree with Tea because since they were going out and he didn't want to jeopardize that (I know I know, weak). Everyone else just got dragged into it, so they spent their spare time in the library studying and schoolwork. When Joey and Yugi were browsing the shelves for stuff on certain Potion Ingredients, they ran into Hagrid, who when he saw them, slipped something behind his back.
"Watcha doin', Hagrid?" Joey asked the large man. Hagrid started to look nervous "Uh, nothin' important. What are ya doin' now? Yer still not tryin' to find Nicolas Flamel are ya?" he asked. Harry and Hermione walked up and heard the last part of the question. "Oh, no we found out who he is ages ago, and that the thing Fluffy's guarding is a Sorcerer's St-" Harry began.
"SHHH! That's top secret that is!" Hagrid cut him off put his finger to his beard.
"We also found out that Snape is trying to steal the St-" Yugi started.
Hagrid cut off again "I said SHH! No one's supposed to know about the Stone," he scolded in a whisper "Now, meet me in later in me hut, and I'm not promisin' anythin' but I'll talk to ya then," he said before walking off.
"What was wrong wit him?" Joey asked looking at Hagrid's retreating form. "Where do you guys find him?" Harry asked. Yugi pointed a couple of shelves where they found him and he had walked to them. Hermione walked down to the aisle and spent some time there before coming back.
"Dragons! Hagrid was doing research on Dragons!" she told them in a hushed whisper. Harry thought fora few moments, "He said he's always a Dragon, the first I ever met him," he said thoughtfully. Ron shook his head, "But it's against our laws! Dragon Breeding was banned centuries ago because of the dangers!" he said. Yugi and Harry looked at each other and Hermione chirped up, "What is he up to?" she asked.
At dinner, they retold the story of what had happened in the library with their friends. Kaiba seemed interested in the dragon laws (you know why! he loves dragons!). So, they planned that when dinner was over, some of them would go and visit Hagrid and the others would wait in the dorm for the story when they returned.
Under the guise of the Invisibility Cloak, Yugi, Brian, Tea, Kaiba, Harry, Ron, and Hermione (Cloaks big in this story) walked across the grounds down to Hagrids hut to visit him. They knocked on the door and waited for the large man to answer. Footsteps could be heard from inside along with "Back, Fang, back!" before the door opened. They threw off the cloak and entered the hut. "So, ya think still think Snape is up to no good?" Hagrid asked them as he went to fetch some tea.
"Yep. We know that he's been trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone for a long time," Harry said. The others nodded in agreement. "That's nonsense, complete nonsense! Snape is one of the teacher's protectin' the Stone," he told them waving a large hand at them. Suddenly, from behind the furniture a large black hound dog came bounding out and tackled Kaiba. Before Kaiba can register what had happened, the dog started to slobber all over him like crazy.
"Wow, looks likes Fang likes ya," Hagrid said smiling. The others were either smiling or laughing as Kaiba tried to lift the dog of him, but failed. "Hang on, Kaiba, I'll get him off," Brian said between laughs. He grabbed the large dog's collar and lifted him off easily, while Kaiba wiped his face with his robes. "Why is italways me and dogs!" he muttered (I'll leave that up to you guys to think, NOT NASTY IN ANY WAY!).
"Just be glad I have a Worg, or you'd still be on the floor, Kaiba," Brian said sitting down with Fang's head on his lap. "Hold it. Hagrid, what did you mean by 'one of the teachers protecting the stone'?" Yugi asked him. Hagrid handed them each of cup of tea and sat down next to a large iron pot on a fire. "You heard me," he replied. "You mean that teachers are protecting the stone, with spells and enchantments?" Hermione asked. Hagrid nodded. Yugi opened his mouth but before he got a word out, a rattling noise was heard in the hut.
Hagrid turned to the pot and reached in, with his hands covered in thick oven mitts. "Ohh ohh! Hot hot hot!" he muttered as he pulled out a large black orb-like object with smoke rising from the edges and placed it on the table. Everyone stared at it and came closer to the table. Ron and Kaiba seemed to have the expression on their faces. "What is that?" Harry asked peering at it. "I know what that is! But Hagrid, how did you get one?" Ron asked looking up at the bearded man.
"I won it, off a stranger down at the pub. Seemed quite glad to be rid of, matter-of-fact," he mumbled. Kaiba looked closer at the object, "I can't believe you have a dragon egg, Hagrid," he said smiling. His expression was like that of a kid at a candy store (LUV'S HIM SOME DRAGONS!). The others just stared openmouthed at the egg. "DRAGON EGG!" they said loudly.
Just then, the egg began to crack in many different places. They all stepped back, not knowing what to expect. The egg suddenly stopped shaking and most of the outer shell shot out in every direction. Everyone ducked as the pieces flew everywhere. They rose back to normal to be greeted by a small green/black reptilian creature with wings and small flames coming out.
"Damn, that's cool," Brian commented. Kaiba and Hagrid nodded enthusiastically (SP?). Hagrid reached over and started petting the dragon, "Allo, Norbert!" he said beaming. Harry looked at him "Norbert?" he asked. Hagrid looked up "Well, he's gotta have a name dunnit 'e?" he asked. Yugi and Tea nodded in thought. Hagrid started tickling Norbert under the chin, causing the dragon to hiccup and cough up fire. Everyone backed away as Hagrid's beard caught fire and began to burn.
"Oh ooh oh...," he said patting the fire out with his mitt. He put it out and looked at the kids, "He's oughta be trained up a bit o' course," he told them. They all nodded at this wonderful idea. Hagrid patted his beard once more to be sure that the fire was out and stopped, looking at something. "Who's that?" he asked looking past the others. They turned to see two blonde kids turn and run off. "Malfoy," Harry said. Yugi nodded "Marik," he added.
Once back inside the castle, the group walked along a corridor to get back to their dormitories. "This is bad, Malfoy and Marik know about us sneaking out AND the dragon," Harry said sadly. Tea and Yugi moaned. "I don't understand, is that bad?" Hermione asked. Ron, Brian and Kaiba stopped and looked ahead, "Oh, it's bad," Kaiba said softly. The rest looked ahead and saw the two blonde boy standing on either side of Professor McGonagall. "Good evening," she said.
A few minutes later in the Transfiguration classroom, "Nothing and I repeat, nothing gives a student to walk around the school at night. 50 points will be taken," she scolded. "FIFTY?" Harry cried. "Each," she said. The Gryffindors started to say how unfair it was that 300 points would be taken from their House, while Kaiba stayed silent. "As further punishment, all nine of you will recieve detention," she said.
Marik and Malfoy looked at each other with puzzled looks and Malfoy turned to McGonagall. "Excuse me, Professor. But I thought you said the NINE of us," he said slowly. She looked at him, "No, you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. As honorable as your intentions were, you and Mr. Ishtar were also out of bed. You both will be sharing detention with you classmates," she explained. Both Marik and Malfoy groaned at the news. Kaiba chuckled and the others smiled slightly.
