Harry, Ron and Hermione all looked at one another with shock written all over their faces. Harry knelt down and looked at the hole, it was very small, only big enough for perhaps a child. Harry started to dig at the dirt around the base of the tree so he could fit.
"Harry, wait. There is something down there, something powerful. Do you think we should go down?" Hermione asked
"Hermione, if what you are telling me is true, then I am almost certain that there is a horocrux down there, and I want to get it before something happens." Harry retorted
"Maybe me or Hermione should go down first, you know in case what you land on kills you, like the devils snare and the philosophers stone. 'Cos mate, you're the one that has to go on in the end." Ron said
"Oh, ok, if thats what you want." Harry replied. It suddenly dawned on him how nervous his friends were and how much they cared for him.
Ron wriggled his legs in the gap and slide him self through, Hermione and Harry heard Ron hit a hard floor.
"What's down there?" Harry asked
"Nothing, just a small hill, hurry up." Ron shouted back
HIs voice echoed and sound far away. Hermione slid through first, followed by Harry once he heard her hit the ground. He looked around the dark hole and saw that he was standing in a cold stone room. He saw an even darker lump in the middle of the room that was moving up and down.
"Lumos." Harry muttered
He heard Hermione stifle a scream. They were looking at a fully grown Common Welsh Green dragon. It was fast asleep. Harry, Ron and Hermione were all frozen to the spot, they had no idea what to do. Harry silently reached into his satchel and pulled out his cloak and motioned for the others to get underneath it. Harry wondered weather they could make the dragon fein deafness, it was worth a try
"muffilato." Harry muttered, but the spell only hit the dragons shoulder and bounced off.
"Great, just great, not only is it a dragon, but a magical dragon." Ron said trying not to panic
"Come on, lets just walk around it and see what's on the other side." Harry said
They walked as quietly as they could, all grouped together under the cloak. They walked around the dragon fully once and saw no sign or trace of a door. The dragon was still sleeping thankfully.
"At the cave, Dumbledore found a door in the stone wall, he walked around touching and feeling until he found a hidden door. Lets walk around once more and Ron, keep an eye on your watch, ill watch the dragon." Harry said
They walked around once more, this time much more slowly. When they got back to the point they started from Harry spoke again
"Ok, is there anything here, or is it the dragons home?"
"Harry, I couldn't feel anything different, occasionally there was a bump in the wall, but the level of magic in here, it is too hard to try and catagorise it." Hermione said
"Well, somewhere directly opposite us now, my watch kind of made an arrow." Ron said
"Hermione, was there a bump there, on the other side of the room?" Harry asked, getting excited again
"Yup, there were two, quite close together, lets go over." Hermione answered
The 3 walked quietly back over to the other side and Harry looked at Rons watch. It was like outside the tree; the symbols had formed a cluster around where the number 7 should have been and the stars were lined up going across the watch face, spinning extremely fast.
"Ron, your leg is bleeding from the fall in here, wipe it across the stone where Hermione feels the bumps." Harry explained
Ron did what he was told and the stone wall lit up a bright red, thin archway, Harry pushed on it, and the 3 of them walked through.

On the other side of the stone wall was another stone room. This one was dimly lit by a hole in the roof of it letting the sunlight in. The floor was covered in straw and in the middle of the room was a large pile of dragon eggs. There had to be over a thousand and all were and earthy brown colour, speckled with a mossy green colour.
"Ohh, what?" Harry said
"I think there is a horocrux in here, the magic feeling is stronger." said Hermione
"But what is with the dragon eggs?" Ron asked
"I think... that Voldemort has made it so that we... have to break the eggs open... to find the horocrux. I think that he sees it as inhumane, so only he would do it with no remorse." Harry said slowly
"I don't want to smash open baby dragon eggs." Hermione said. Harry could tell she was getting distressed
"I think we need to worry about the dragon more than anything now, I bet its going to get really angry the minute we touch one of her babies." Ron said
"Right, ok, umm, lets walk towards the eggs. Hermione, I want you to close your mind down and listen to the magic, it will tell you what you are looking for, you just need to focus. Ron, keep an eye on your watch, it might point us." Harry instructed
Everything went quiet then suddenly Hermione gasped
"There is more then 1 magic egg, I heard at least 50."
"Hermione, focus some more, one has to be saying more then the others." Harry said patiently
"Umm, guys, I think its right in the middle, at the very bottom." Ron interupted
"How do you know?" asked Hermione
"Well, if you think about it, the middle at the bottom, is going to really get the dragon angry, and when ever I change my height, the angle of the funny arrow in my watch changes." Ron informed Harry and Hermione
"Oh, right, well, umm, how do you think we should go down there?" Harry asked
"Well, we will just have to climb up and try not to touch the eggs." Hermione said as she started to move forwards
"Wait, we have to figure out how we are going to get out afterwards, I bet there is an anti-dissaperation charm on here. I know this probably wont work, but Hermione, do you know the conjunctive curse?" Harry asked
"Yes..."
"If the dragon comes at us, send as many of them as you can towards it ok."
Hermione agreed and the 3 of them started making their way through the pile of eggs. Occasionally one of them had to make a leap to a blank patch of hay. They were nearly in the middle when they couldn't go any further without touching the eggs.
"Ok, this is it, Ron how does your watch look?" Harry said nervously
"Umm, the symbols and stars have kind of mixed themselves together, so yeah, I think we are in the right place." said a very white and sweaty Ron
"Lets start moving the eggs. Do it quickly and quietly, and try not to break any." Harry instructed
As soon as their hands touched the eggs, there was a violent thump against the stone archway which was now closed. The dragon had woken up. Harry, Ron and Hermione were moving the eggs as fast as they could. THUMP. The dragon was trying as hard as she could to get in and the wall was cracking. Chunks of rock where flying across the room. They had finally reached the bottom and there were 7 eggs that wouldn't move. These eggs were mossy green with earthy brown speckles.
"Quick, the only way to get them is to break them." Harry said urgently
Harry and Ron tried breaking them with bits of rock, which didn't work.
Hermione then cried "Reducto" and 3 eggs were blasted open, and out flew 3 middle sized Welsh dragons.
"Reducto." Harry, Ron and Hermione cried together, breaking open the final 4 eggs and inside one of them was a cup. A small golden cup with two finely wrought handles. Harry quickly picked it up and placed it in his satchel. It was very heavy for the size it was.
"Quick, lets go." Harry shouted as one of the dragons shot a narrow jet of fire at them. They reached the place where the archway should have been when suddenly the wall collapsed and the mother dragon flew in. Harry, Ron and Hermione ducked under legs and ran into the stone room. The tree roots that made up the ceiling had suddenly come alive and had taken on the persona of Devil Snare.
"Hermione, shoot fire!" Ron yelled
Hermione tried as hard as she could but the fire didn't work, the Devil Snare roots, were still flying at them and knocking them over. One got a hold of Harry and started wrapping him up.
"Harry!" Hermione cried as Ron started to get wrapped up by the roots. Hermione looked up and saw a root that wasn't moving. She jumped up to grab it, but she was only inches away.
"Hermione, hurry up!" Ron yelled before his head was covered.
Hermione jumped again, but missed.
"Please Hermione!" Harry cried before his throat was covered.
Hermione jumped with all her might and reached the root. She pulled it and everything stopped moving. Even the dragons had frozen in mid air. Hermione rushed over and non-verbally cut Harry and Ron down. Ron hugged Hermione and quickly let go.
"C'mon, lets get out before it starts up again." Harry advised
They didn't need telling twice and quickly pulled themselves up through the hole.

Once the were in fresh air again the hole in the tree closed up. They quickly moved away from the tree, crossed the road and apperated to Grimmauld Place.
