Norbert is leaving part 12

17/03/92

Dear Emma

I've told Hagrid to be prepared, if you feel threatened then tell us.

Anyway you're not going to believe what he's done, he somehow got hold of a dragon's egg. It's just hatched the other day, thankfully we managed to talk Hagrid into sending it to Romania with Ron's brother Charlie. We sent a school owl to him and we're waiting for him to get back to us. But the dragon, Norbert Hagrid has christened him, is growing fast, we've been trying to help him look after it. Hagrid is neglecting his duties, if this goes on much longer someone is going to notice, in fact I think Malfoy might have been peeking through the window when the egg hatched. If he knows we're in big trouble and I think he does. The sooner Norbert is gone the better.

Everything else is fine for now, Hermione earned us 40 points yesterday in class, and Snape only managed to take off about half of them in Potions. We're still in the lead for the House cup so long as we don't try anything stupid we'll be fine, unfortunately dealing with an illegal dragon falls under that category.

Seriously if the Dursleys get out of line let me know. Keep Hedwig there for a while as well, just in case.

I love you

Harry

Emma took Harry's advice to heart, unfortunately reminding Vernon that Hagrid and everyone else expected her to be treated with respect had not helped. He was now looking at her with much more contempt. Emma had taken to avoiding him with the exception of meal times.

But about a week after Harry's last letter arrived, Emma was preparing dinner for the family. It was a beef stew, one of Vernon's favourites and in turn one he was least willing to share with an undesirable.

Emma scooped out the Dursley's portions of food first but as she went to fill her own plate she found the ladle forcibly taken out of her hand.

"Listen girl, I am sick of you ungratefully taking our food. From now on you'll eat what we give you, and that goes for your stupid brother as well when he gets home."

Emma was a bit shocked by her Uncle's behaviour but she pulled herself together "Remember what Hagrid told you if I'm…"

Vernon in his rage shoved Emma back and she collapsed against the kitchen counter. "I don't care what some oversized freak says. From now on you do as I say or you get no food. I'm sick of the sight of you! Now go to your room!"

He then grabbed her by the arm and forcibly threw her out of the kitchen. She stumbled and landed on the floor.

Tears in her eyes, she clambered up to her room and sent a letter to Harry.

Harry was ecstatic they had just received a letter from Charlie saying that in a few days they would be rid of Norbert. Ron was quickly writing a reply to Charlie saying they would meet his friends in the top tower when Hedwig arrived.

After reading it, Harry was livid. He marched straight from the common room to Hagrid's hut, despite the fact that it was after curfew. He took the letter with him. Ron and Hermione didn't know what to do so they stayed where they were.
