Hey! Here's the next chapter :)
Ch 9
Ten weeks were left until school exams and Hermione was freaking out about exams. When Ron pointed out that they had plenty of time to study later she blew up. And the argument ended with not only Hermione studying for exams but Ron, Harry, and Sam were forced by the girl to study. Naturally Dean and the twins were having a field day seeing their brothers being pushed around by a girl. That had ended with Hermione lecturing them and having them join the younger students every now and then.
"You know Mum would be very impressed with you Hermione."
"Why is that Ron?"
"Because you got Fred and George to come into the library for a study session."
Hermione looked over to where the three older boys were sitting, heads together smirking. "I don't think they're studying Ron. It looks like their plotting."
"Yes but they're still in the library."
"Hagrid, what are you doing here," Harry called suddenly spotting the large man trying to hide behind some shelves.
"Jus' lookin," he said looking suspicious. "And what are you lot up to? You're not lookin' for Nicolas Flamel, are yeh?"
"Yeah what happened to looking for him," Dean asked throwing a paper airplane from his seat next to Sam. "That was more interesting than studying this crap."
"Oh we found him ages ago," Ron said. "And we found out about the-"
"SHHH," Hagrid cut him off. "Yer not supposed to know about that."
"Oh so that is what Fluffy's guarding," Sam said.
"Hey what else is guarding the-"
"Shhh," Hagrid cut Harry off. "Listen come and see me later. I'm not goin' to tell you anything about fluffy, but I got something to show ya."
"See you later then," Harry called as Hagrid left.
"You know who Flamel is and you didn't even bother to tell us," Dean accused.
"You didn't seem like you were that interested," Sam said.
"And what do you mean you found out what Fluffy was guarding," Dean asked.
"So what do you reckon Hagrid want to show us," Fred asked changing the subject.
"A dragon," Sam and Hermione said at the same time.
"What would make you think that it was a dragon," Ron asked.
"Because he was looking up stuff about dragons," Hermione stated slowly as if talking to a very young child.
"How do you even know that, are you two mind readers or something?"
"No he was holding a book titled From Egg to Inferno, A dragon Keeper's Guide," Sam said.
"But having a dragon is illegal," Ron protested.
"Yeah and like nobody's ever broken the law before," Fred said.
"Isn't it dangerous to keep a dragon," Hermione asked.
"Very, you can't tame them," George said. He smirked turning towards his twin. "This should be interesting."
Later that night found all seven of the students standing outside of Hagrid's hut. Hagrid frantically waved them all inside and quickly shut the door.
"Why is it so hot in here Hagrid," Fred complained.
"Uh, didn't you want to ask me something Harry?"
"Oh yeah, I was wondering what was guarding the stone beside Fluffy."
"What stone," Dean whispered to his brother.
"The Sorcerer's Stone. Please try and keep up Dean," Sam said.
"I don't know Harry, and even if I did I still wouldn't tell you."
"Well could you tell us the teachers who are protecting the stone," Hermione asked.
"What the heck is a Sorcerer's stone," Dean asked the twins, not liking that he was out of the loop. Unfortunately both of them just shrugged, just as clueless as he was.
"I don't see how that can hurt," Hagrid said. "Alright there's Professors Sprout, Flitwick, McGonagall, Quirrell, Snape, and Dumbledore."
"Wait Snape is one of the teachers protecting the stone," Harry asked slightly panicked.
"Yeah. Your still not onto the whole Snape is evil thing are you? Look he's helping to protect the stone, why would he want to steal it?"
"Hagrid what's that," Sam asked pointing to the middle of the fire.
"Ah, that's a…"
"Where did you get that Hagrid," Ron asked.
"Won it, las' night in a game of cards."
"But what are you going to do with it once it's hatched," Hermione asked.
"Well I'm going to keep it."
"WHAT," they all yelled.
"I've always wanted one, so…" He trailed of shrugging.
Six of the students starred at him in disbelief.
"Hey Hagrid, can I play with it," Sam asked with an eager smile.
It was a couple weeks later that Harry got the message "It's Hatching" From Hagrid. Ron, Harry, and the twins had wanted to skip classes that day to go watch it hatch but Hermione wouldn't hear of it. "Our education is far more important."
By the time that they were finally able to go to Hagrids hut, Sam was still trying to convince Dean to let him go see it at all.
"Not going to happen Sammy."
"Please Dean, I won't ask for anything ever again," Sam begged.
"Remember what Dad and Bobby said before we left?"
"Goodbye?"
"Try again."
"No more three headed dogs or trolls. Dean this isn't a three-headed dog or a troll."
"I think dragons were implied in that rule."
"Dean please," Sam pleaded turning on the puppy dog eyes.
Dean promptly covered his own. "Not working this time Runt."
Sam sniffled. "What are you doing Sam?"
"Nothing," His voice was scratchy, the boy sniffled again.
"You- you're not crying are you?"
"No," came the sob.
"Geeze Sammy, we'll go see the stupid dragon, just stop with the water works."
"Okay!"
"Dean, mate I thought you said you two were going to sit this one out," Fred greeted opening the door for them.
Dean just mumbled something about manipulative little brothers.
"It's too bad you missed it hatching," George said.
"We did. Oh man."
Just then it sneezed and fire came out of its snout. "Isn't it beautiful," Hagrid asked.
"It sure is Hagrid," Sam said moving towards the table. "What's his name?"
Dean stiffly pulled his brother back several feet sending him a look that clearly said that he wasn't going to get any closer.
"Norbert."
"Hey, someone was just looking through the curtains," George said suddenly. Fred ran to the door and opened.
"Draco Malfoy," was all he said.
During the next week the student all tried desperately to get Hagrid to let the dragon go. All of them except for Sam, who was as crazy as Hagrid and thought the thing was "cute". The young Winchester spent most of what little free time he had at Hagrid's hut learning how to take care of and play with the thing.
After Sam had almost gotten burned Dean had put his foot down and said that Sam wasn't allowed to go within ten feet of the stupid beast, and this time no amount of "crying" from Sam made his older brother budge.
Luckily I didn't take the Weasleys very long to convince Hagrid to hand Norbert over to their older brother, Charlie; which lead to their current situation.
"I can't believe that we're sneaking through the school for a stupid dragon of all things," Dean hissed.
"It's for Hagrid Dean, and don't call Norbert stupid," Sam said.
"Hey Harry where'd you get the invisibility cloak anyway," Fred asked.
"It was a gift. It used to be my dad's. I thought that it would be perfect to hide Norbert."
When the made it to the top of the Astronomy tower all the students were relieved to see Charlie's friends waiting for them. After handing Norbert over they made their way back to their dorm.
"I'm going to miss Norbert."
"Sam you're crazy. That thing bit Ron."
"He's just a baby Dean he didn't know what he was doing was wrong."
When they turned the corner they all stopped. There was Filch shaking his head. "My, My, we are in trouble aren't we?"
So the next chapter SHOULD be out by next week but I'm going out of town so it might not make it out.
Please review and let me know what you think :)
