At Hogwarts life continued as normal. One day they went down to Hagrid's hut to talk about the stone only to discover he had a dragon egg. The next day Harry received a note from Hagrid saying two words "its hatching" Ron wanted to skip history to watch but Hermione refused. Unfortunately Draco Malfoy was standing within earshot and Harry didn't like the look on his face.
After dinner the three of them went down to Hagrid's hut to watch, they arrived just in time.
After a couple of weeks Hagrid realised that keeping a dragon in his hut wasn't a great idea so after some persuading he agreed to let a couple of Charlie's school friends take the dragon to him. Ron had been bitten by Norbert so he had to go to the hospital wing. Harry and Hermione brought Norbert to the prearranged tower and waited. After Charlie's friend took the dragon Harry swung the cloak over the two of them and they made their way down the staircase. At the bottom they saw Malfoy with Professor McGonagall "But Professor, they are going to come and with a dragon!" Malfoy whined. "Now Mr Malfoy it has been and gone midnight and still no sign of them, unless they can turn invisible. Detention Mr Malfoy and minus 50 points from Slytherin" she said. Draco looked shocked "Yes Malfoy, for being out of bed after hours"
"But I came to warn you of Potter" he spat the name Potter
"No matter how noble your intentions were, you are still out of bed after hours. Now to bed with you" Malfoy left glaring at her. Harry and Hermione didn't say anything until they were safely back in the common room. Harry and Hermione took one look at each other and started laughing. They wished each other goodnight then they went to bed.
After the exams were over and the three of them were leaning against a tree in the grounds, a thought suddenly occurred to Harry he jumped up and started running in the direction of Hagrid's hut. "I hate it when he does that" He heard Ron moan to Hermione. "Harry what's wrong?" she asked, "It just occurred to me, the one thing Hagrid wants is a dragons' egg and a man walks into a pub with an egg in its pocket. Why didn't I see it before?" Harry said. They reached the hut, Hagrid was sitting outside. he told them about what happened the night he got Norberts egg and how to make fluffy go to sleep they left and decided to go through the trap door that night. That night in the common room the three of them were sitting quietly in the common room doing homework.
