Hermione, however, had more on her mind than the Philosopher's Stone. She had started drawing up revision timetable and colour-coding all her notes for the exams. The teachers piled so much homework on them that Easter holidays were not nearly as much faun as the Christmas ones. Harry and Ron spent most of their free time in the library with Hermione, trying to get through all their extra work. One day, Hagrid came upon them studying in the library. They bombarded him with questions about the Philosopher's Stone. Hagrid invited them to come and talk to him later, but said he did not promise that he would reveal anything.
Harry, Ron and Hermione visited Hagrid’s hut later, and Hagrid told them that he did not know what else was guarding the stone besides the three-headed dog, Fluffy. However, he told them that he and Dumbledore only knew how to get past Fluffy. Harry noticed him glance at the fire. In the very heart of the fire, underneath the kettle, was a huge, black egg. Then Hagrid showed them the dragon egg that he won in a game of cards last night. Dragons were illegal, but Hagrid wished to raise one anyway. One breakfast time, Harry got a note saying that the dragon egg was hatching, so Harry, Ron and Hermione ran down to Hagrid’s to watch the dragon’s birth. They all drew their chairs up to the table and watched with bated breath. All at once there was a scraping noise and the egg spilt open. The baby dragon flopped on to the table. It was not exactly pretty. Harry thought it looked like a crumpled, black umbrella. Suddenly Hagrid's colour drained from his face because someone was looking through the gap in the curtains. Harry bolted to the door and looked out. Even at a distance there was no mistaking hum. Malfoy had seen the dragon.Something about the smile lurking in Malfoy's face during the next week made Harry, Ron and Hermione very nervous. They spent most of their free time in Hagrid's darkened hut, trying to reason with him about letting the dragon go. However Hagrid called him Norbert and lost his marbles. They decided to send an owl to Charlie, Ron's older brother who was studying dragons, to ask him to take care of Norbert and put him back in the wind. Charlie agreed to help them and arranged for them to meet some friends of him to take Norbert away. He asked them to get Norbert up the tallest tower at midnight on Saturday. Harry and Hermione put on the Invisibility Cloak and sneaked up carrying Norbert. On the way to the top of the tower, they saw Professor McGonagall catch Malfoy because he was wandering in the middle of the night to wait Harry. Harry and Hermione arrived the top of the tower safety. About ten minutes later, Charlie's friends came and took him away. As they descended from the tower, they forget to wear the invisibility cloak and Filch caught them.
