Later that night Harry, Ron and Hermione were on their way to Hagrid's hut. When they got there they knocked on the door.

"Oh hello there sorry but I'm a bit too busy to entertain today." he said.

"We know about the sorcerer's stone!" they yelled together.

"Oh." he said and let them in.

"We think someone's trying to steal it." Harry said.

"I still think it's Snape." Ron said.

"Snape? Blimey you're not still talking about that are you?"

"Like I said, I don't think it's him but whatever Fluffy's guarding someone's trying to steal it!" Harry said.

"Snape's trying to protect the stone, not trying to steal it. Now I'm a little preoccupied right now." Suddenly there was a sound coming from the fire. He grabbed the thing and dropped it.

"Ah Hagrid, what exactly is that?" Harry asked.

"I know what that is! Hagrid, how did you get one?" Ron asked.

"I won it off a stranger I met, seemed quite glad to be rid of it as a matter of fact." he said.

Then it started to shake and then opened. They stared at it in shock.

"Is that, a dragon?" Hermione asked.

"That's not just a dragon, that's a Norwegian Rich back! It's really rare." Ron said.

"Isn't he beautiful, God bless him he knows his mummy. Hello Norbert." he said.

"Norbert?" Harry said confused.

"Yeah well he's gotta have a name don't he?" Ron shrugged. 'Ello Norbert."

He tapped his fingers on his mouth and tickled him. Then it sneezed and fire fell on him.

"OO! Ooooo, well he'll be a bit trained up a bit o'course." he said cleaning his beard. Then he saw someone. "Who's that?"

They turned around.

"Malfoy." Harry said.

"Oh dear."

Then they left and headed to the common room. "Hagrid's always wanted a dragon, that's what dad says." Harry said.

"I don't understand, is that bad?" Hermione said.

"It's bad." Ron said.

"Good evening." McGonagall said.

And Malfoy stood there smirking.

Then they headed to her office.

"Nothing, I repeat nothing gives a student the right to walk about a school at night. There for in your punish fifty points will be taken." she said.

"Fifty!" Harry said.

"Each. And to a sure it doesn't happen again, the five of you will be served detention." she said.

"Excuse me professor, I thought you said the four of us?" Malfoy said.

"No you heard me correctly Mr. Malfoy, despite your help you to were after hours. Which means you will be in detention." she said.

So they split up and went to bed.

The next day it was late and the five of them were with Filch outside walking somewhere.

"Pity they let the old punishment die, before you used to have to sit there with your thumbs up. God I miss the screaming." Mr. Filch said. "Sorry about this Hagrid." Then they say him sniffle. "Oh good god man you're not still on about that bloody dragon are you?"

He sniffled again. "Norbert's gone, Dumbledore decided to get him to live in a colony."

"Well that's good isn't it?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah well what if he doesn't like Romania? What if the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby after all." he said.

"Oh for god sack pull yourself together man. You're going into the forest after all!"

"The forest?! I thought that was a joke, student's aren't allowed! And there are, werewolves in there." Malfoy said.

"Oh there are more than werewolves in there. Nighty night."

Then he left.

"Right, let's be off." Hagrid said.

When they got in the forest they saw something. "Ah Hagrid, what exactly is that?" Harry asked.

"See that? That's unicorn blood that is. This one's been hurt bad by something." he said. Then they heard something and looked around. "So it's our job to go find the poor beast. Ron and Hermione you're coming with me, Harry you're goin' with Malfoy."

Malfoy groaned.

"OK, then I get Fang." Malfoy said.

"Fine, just so you know, he's a bloody coward."

So they set off Malfoy carried Fang and Harry held the lamp.

"Wait until my father hears this. This is savant stuff." Malfoy said.

"If I didn't know better, Draco, I'd say you're scared." Harry said. "Do you hear that? Come on Fang."

"Scared." Malfoy muttered.

Suddenly they saw something. Then out of nowhere Harry's scar started to hurt.

"Ah!" he started to rub it.

"Ahhhhh!" Malfoy yelled and ran away.

Suddenly The person started to come closer. Harry started to walk backwards and fell. He shut his eyes tightly with pain and they heard something. Then a centaur ran and jumped over them then started shifting his hoof and the object started flying away.

"Harry Potter, you must leave. You're known to many creatures here." Firenze said.

"But what was that thing you saved me from?"

"A monsters' kreacher. Using the blood of a unicorn can slay a kreacher but at a terrible price. They'll have a half life, a cursed life." Firenze said.

"But who would choose such a life?"

"Can you think of no one?"

"You mean to say, the thing that killed the unicorn, the thing that was drinking it's blood, that was Voldemort?"

"And do you know what he's after at this very moment Mister Potter?

"The sorcerer's stone!"

"Harry!" Hermione said.

"Hello there Firenze. I see you've met our young Mr. Potter." Hagrid said.

"Harry Potter, this is where I leave you, you're safe now."

Then he left.

When they got back to the common room Harry was pacing.

"Did you say you-know-who's out there right now, in the forest?" Hermione said.

"Yes, but he's weak he's living off unicorn blood. And with the elixir of life he'll, he'll come back." Harry said.

"But, if he comes back, you don't think he'll try to kill you do you?" Ron asked.

"Well since it hasn't gotten the chance to kill me tonight." he said.

"And to think, I've been worried about my potions final." Ron said.
