Severus Snape vs Harry Potter: Year Two / Fourth Incident: Dragon Tattle
Ratting out your fellow staff is bad. Tattling on Hagrid is a really bad idea. Here's another scene from the second year.
Harry was outside Hogwarts visiting Hagrid in his hut.
"So what was it you wanted to show me?" Harry asks Hagrid.
Hagrid grins and bends over to an open space below his kitchen table. He soon came back up with a very large egg.
"Is that…a dragon egg?" Harry asks, studying the egg.
"It sure is. It'll hatch soon too. Been keeping it warm for many weeks now," Hagrid says proudly.
"But isn't it against school policy to keep such things on school grounds?" Harry inquires.
"Only if it's not known by the other staff. Will you promise to keep this a secret?" Hagrid asks Harry.
"Sure thing," Harry responds.
Meanwhile just outside the hut, Professor Snape was eavesdropping at the window.
"So Hagrid has an illegal egg on the premises…time to go get Hagrid and Mr. Potter in trouble," Snape says to himself as he leaves to go notify Albus Dumbledore.
Later…
"Well, it was great visiting you, Hagrid. See you later," Harry says as he waves back at Hagrid while leaving his hut.
"Not so fast, young one," Albus Dumbledore says, who was in front of Harry.
"Uh, Mr. Dumbledore, sir, what are you doing here?" Hagrid asks, stepping out of his hut.
"A little birdie told me that you have something illegal housed up in your little hut. Care to show it to me?" Albus Dumbledore asks.
Minutes later Hagrid comes out of the hut with the giant dragon egg and hands it over to Dumbledore. Harry is then given detention while Hagrid gets a slight pay-cut.
After Dumbledore had left, Hagrid looks at Harry.
"How in the world did Dumbledore find out about this?" Hagrid asks, dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Professor Snape was onlooking from some bushes not too far from them.
"Heh, mission accomplished," Snape says with a wide grin.
As Snape began to leave the area, he trips over a loose branch and falls onto the ground, out in the open where Harry and Hagrid could see them.
"So you were behind this!" Hagrid yells angrily at Snape as he began to pursue.
"Damn!" Snape says as he quickly got up and began running away from the very large man, when…
BAM!
…Out of nowhere, Hagrid appears in front of Snape and stretches his arm out, causing Snape to be clotheslined. Snape falls to the ground like a rock, dazed from the impact.
"That's what you get you little snitch!" Hagrid says before leaving the unconscious Snape.
