YOU ALL HURRY DOWN TO HAGRID'S HUT, BILLOWING CLOAKS TIED TO YOU ALL.
you all arrive at hagrid's door, giving it a good knock.
hagrid opens the door, "hagrid" harry says.
"oh, hello, sorry, don't wish to be rude, but i'm in no fit state to entertain today" he smiles slightly, going to close the door.
"we know about the philosopher's stone!" the three say together as the door closes, you nod.
hagrid opens the door again, "oh"
he walks inside and you all follow, you close the door behind you.
"we think snape's trying to steal it" harry says, you roll your eyes, taking off your cloak.
"snape? blimey, you're not still on about him, are ya?"
unfortunately, they are
"hagrid, we know he's after thes tone. we just don't know why"
maybe cause he's not you dumbnut
"snape is one of the teachers protecting the stone. he's not about to steal it"
see?!
the three exchange confused looks, "what?"
"you heard. right. come on, now, i'm a bit preoccupied today"
"wait a minute. 'one of the teachers'?" harry questions.
"of course! there are other things defending the stone, aren't there? spells, enchantments"
no duh. that's like thinking we'd leave just one hashira to keep oyakata-sama safe
"that's right. waste of bloody time, if you ask me. ain't no one gonna get past fluffy" hagrid chuckles.
you scratch hagrid's dog, fang, on the head.
"ain't a soul knows how, except for me and dumbledore"
oh, do tell
"i shouldn't have told you that. i should not have told you that"
your attention turns to the pot as it starts to rattle, you had been hearing a bit of something tumbling around in there, but paid no mind. but it was loud enough for the others to hear now.
hagrid reaches in, taking out a large golden egg.
he hisses and makes noises of pain as he juggles the egg, throwing it between his hands and hastily placing it on the table, you all hurry over.
"uh, hagrid, what exactly is that?" harry asks, you narrow your eyes a bit, you could hear some scratching noises from inside.
you knew better than to guess it was a demon, as, one, demons didn't hatch from eggs, and two, there were no demons here.
"that? it's.. uh.." he trails off, "it's um..."
"i know what that is!" you look at ron, "but, hagrid, how did you get one?"
"i won it. off a stranger i met down the pub"
hagrid, you need to stop talking to strangers down at the pub
"seemed quite glad to get rid of it, as a matter of fact" hagrid says, a bit suspiciously.
the egg shakes, rattling.
you blink as the shell pops open, bits flying away. a long, slimy, wing pokes out from the opening, you blink owlishly.
a dragon? i thought those were only fairytales.. oh, right. i'm in the wizarding world, seems anything's possible here
you tilt your head a bit, it was kind of cute.
it squeaks a bit.
"is that.." hermione starts, turning to hagrid, "a dragon?"
no, it's a little puppy
"that's not just a dragon. that's a norwegian ridgeback! my brother charlie works with these in romania"
flamboyant
"isn't he beautiful? oh, bless him. look, he knows his mummy" hagrid tears up as the dragon turns to him, laughing a bit.
"hello, norbert" he tickles the dragons neck.
"norbert?" harry questions.
"well, he's gotta have a name, dunnhe?"
you smirk a bit, looking at the dragon in slight awe.
"don't you, norbert?" hagrid tickles under norbert's chin.
norbert coughs, spitting fire onto hagrid's beard, you snort.
hagrid hastily pats it down, "well, he'll have to be trained up a bit, of course" he laughs awkwardly, you riase your eyebrows.
"who's that?"
you all look back, you groan. draco was peeking through the window, he quickly runs away as he sees you all noticed him.
you had been so entranced by the dragon, you hadn't even heard him come.
shithead
"malfoy" harry hisses.
uh oh
"oh, dear"
you all quickly grab your coats, saying bye to hagrid and running back up to the castle.
"hagrid always wanted a dragon. he told me so the first time i ever met him" harry informs.
"it's crazy. and worse, malfoy knows"
you sigh a bit as heels echoe from the room and mcgonagall step sout, holding a candle.
"i don't understand. is that bad?"
"it's bad" ron says, the other two look to the front.
"good evening"
draco steps out from behind her with a smirk, you roll your eyes.
you all head into mcgonagall's office gloomily, well, except you. you didn't care much.
"nothing, i repeat, nothing.. gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. therefore, as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken"
"50?!"
"each"
you deadpan.
draco smiles smugly.
"and to ensure it doesn't happen again.. all five of you will receive detention"
you smirk at that.
malfoy's smile drops, "excuse me, professor, perhaps i heard you wrong. i thought you said the five of us"
"no, you heard me correctly, mr. malfoy. you see, honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. you will join your classmates in detention"
you scratch your lip to hide your smirk.
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
LATER THE NEXT NIGHT, YOU WERE ALL ASSIGNED TO FILCH. THE CARETAKER.
you despised that man. he's a party pooper.
"a pity they let the old punishments die. was a time detention would find you hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons. god, i miss the screaming"
you shake your head, resisting the urge to beat the shit out of that guy.
you all walk back down to hagrid's hut, hagrid opens the door and steps out.
"you'll be serving detention with hagrid tonight"
good riddance
"he's got a little job to do inside the dark forest"
the dark forest? we get to go in there?! flamboyant~!
"a sorry lot, this, hagrid"
hagrid sniffles.
"oh, good god, man, you're not still on about that bloody dragon, are you?"
hagrid sniffles again, getting his crossbow ready.
"norbert's gone. dumbledore sent him off to romania to live with a colony" hagrid says.
"well, that's good, isn't it? he'll be with his own kind" hermione says.
"yeah, but what if he don't like romania? what if the other dragons are mean to him? he's only a baby, after all"
you sigh.
"oh, for god's sake, pull yourself together, man. you're going into the forest, after all. got to have your wits about you"
"the forest? i thought that was a joke. we can't go in there"
does he look like someone who would joke to you, malfoy?
"students aren't allowed. and there are.."
a wolf howls right on queue.
"..werewolves"
"ah, there's more than werewolves in those trees, lad. you can be sure of that. night-night"
you flip him off as he leaves, going unnoticed.
"right. let's go" hagrid nods.
you all head into the dark forest, you look around excitedly as you walk.
fog was covering the whole place, leaving an eerie feel.
fang walked ahead of you all.
after a bit of walking, hagrid stops.
you look down as he dips his fingers into a puddle of something metallic.
"hagrid, what is that?" harry asks nervously.
"what we're here for. see that?" he holds up his fingers, "that's unicorn blood, that is. i found a dead one a few weeks ago. now, this one's been hurt bad by something"
your eyes dart over the the side as footsteps are heard, you narrow your eyes as a cloaked figure goes by.
"so, it's out job to go and find the poor beast. ron, hermione, [name], you'll come with me"
"okay.." ron says weakly.
"and, harry, you'll go with malfoy"
harry nods.
"okay. then i get fang"
"fine. just so you know, he's a bloody coward"
they both head off and the rest of you all go in the same direction, looking around for anything.
after a while of seeing nothing, you hear a scream and draco runs at you all, screaming and shouting incoherent things. but it sounded pretty bad, so you all hurried over to where draco lead you all to.
as you reach the destination, you all saw harry, but also a man with the torso of a human and the legs and lower body of a horse.
"harry!" hermione calls.
"hello there, firenze" hagrid greets with a curt nod, "see you've met our young mr. potter. all right there, harry?"
harry nods.
"harry potter, this is where i leave you" the centaur says, "you're safe now. good luck"
your attention turns to the dead unicorn over on the floor.
