Harry: Hagrid, what exactly is that?

Hagrid: That? It's, it's um...

Ron: I know what that is! But Hagrid, how did you get one?

Hagrid: I won it! Off a stranger I met in the pub. Seemed quite glad to be rid of it, as a matter of fact.

Hermione: Is that a dragon?

Ron: That's not just a dragon! That's a Norwegian Ridgeback! My brother Charlie works with these in Romania.

Hagrid: Isn't he beautiful? Oh bless him, look, he knows his mummy! Hello, Norbert!

Harry: Norbert?

Hagrid: Yeah. Why he's gotta have a name, got he? Don't you, Norbert? Te de de de de! Oh! Woah! Woah! He'll have to be trained up a bit of course. Who's that?

Harry: Malfoy.

Hagrid: Oh, dear.

Harry: Hagrid always wanted a dragon. He told me so the first time I ever met him.

Ron: It's crazy! And worse Malfoy knows.

Hermione: I don't understand. Is that bad?

Ron: It's bad.

McGonagall: Good evening. 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.

Harry: 50!

McGonagall: Each. And to ensure it doesn't happen again, all four of you will receive detention.

Malfoy: Excuse me, Professor. Perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said the four of us.

McGonagall: No you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. You see, honorable as your intentions were, you, too, were out of bedafter hours. You will join your classmates in detention.

Filch: A pity they let the old punishments die. Was a time detention was found you hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons. God, I'll miss the screaming. You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight. He's got a little job to do inside the Dark Forest. A sorry lot, this, Hagrid. Oh good God, man,you're not still onabout that bloody dragon, are you?

Hagrid: Norbert's gone. Dumbledore sent him off to Romania to live in a colony.

Hermione: Well, that's good, isn't it? He'll be with his own kind.

Hagrid: 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.

Filch: Oh, for God's sake,pull yourself together, man. You're going into the Forest after all. Got tohave your wits about you.

Malfoy: The Forest? I thought that was a joke. We can't go in there. Students aren't allowed. And there are... werewolves!

Filch: Ah, there's more than werewolves in those trees, lad. You can be sure of that. Nighty- night.

Hagrid: Right, let's go.
