10| Detention with Hagrid

Harry, Ron and I were sitting in the library working on a charms essay. We were supposed to have three pages of parchment on basic spells.

Hermione had gone to look for some books. She had already finished her essay and was helping us. She came over holding a large book.

"I've been so stupid! We've been off the mark completely with finding something about this Nicolas Flamel," Hermione ranted. "I checked this book out weeks ago and forgot about it. Nicholas Flamel is the only known creator of Philosophers Stone! The Philosophers Stone contains amazing powers. It can transform metal into gold and produces the elixir of life, which will make the drinker immortal. The only stone that exists belongs to Mr Nicholas Flamel, an alchemist who turned six hundred and sixty-five last year!"

"That's what under the trapdoor, that's what Fluffy's guarding!" I said.

"I think we'll be visiting Hagrid tonight," said Harry in a concerned tone.

That night, we all huddled under the invisibility cloak and went to Hagrid's house.

"Hagrid!" Harry said as we pounded on his door.

"Sorry! Not in the mood for visitors," said Hagrid, closing the door.

"We know about the Philosophers Stone!" We all said.

"Oh, come in then," said Hagrid.

"Snape's trying to steal it," Said Ron.

"Snape? You're not still on about that are ya?" Asked Hagrid.

"Hagrid, we know that he wants the stone," insisted Harry.

"We just don't know why," I added.

"Snape is helping protect the stone. He's not going to steal it," said Hagrid.

"There are other things protecting the stone too," stated Hermione.

"Yeah, but there's no need for em' if you ask me. No one knows how to get past Fluffy 'cept me 'n Dumbledore," Hagrid said. "I shouldn't have said that."

Something rattled in a pot on the fireplace. Hagrid went over and lifted something from the pot, juggling it around in his hands like it was boiling hot.

"What's that?" Asked Harry.

"Hagrid, how did you get one?" Ron asked excitedly.

It's a dragon egg!

"I won it from some guy I met at the pub. He didn't mind giving it away, almost seemed glad," Hagrid said.

The egg started shaking, and sure enough, it cracked and a baby dragon came out.

"A Norwegian Ridgeback!" I pointed out.

"Hello, Norbert!" Said Hagrid.

"Norbert?" Said Harry, as we gave each other a smug look.

"Who's that?" Asked Hagrid as he looked out the window.

I looked, Draco's blonde head ducked down.

"Malfoy," I said.

"He can't know about the dragon. They aren't allowed, he'll have it sent away," I said.

"I appreciator your concern, Charlene. But you four should be off. I don't want you in any trouble," Hagrid said.

With that, we grabbed our cloaks and headed inside.

"Hagrid's always wanted a dragon, he seems so happy," Harry said.

"Malfoy knows," said Ron, sounding concerned.

"Is that bad?" Asked Hermione.

"It's bad," said Ron.
