"It bit me! I'm not going to be able to hold a quill for a week. I tell you, that dragon's the most horrible animal I've ever met, but the way Hagrid goes on about it, you'd think it was a fluffy little bunny rabbit. When it bit me he told me off for frightening it. And when I left, he was singing it a lullaby."
-- Ron Weasley (PS14)
Ron is helping Hagrid feed Norbert late at night, having gone down to Hagrid’s hut under the Cloak of Invisibility. When Ron is bitten, Hagrid seems more worried about the dragon than Ron (PS14).
Timeline Notes
Ron comes into the Gryffindor common room just as the clock strikes midnight.
Commentary
Notes
The fact that Hagrid has First Years using an invisibility cloak to come to his cabin late at night and help him feed an illegal dragon is almost too much to believe. His reaction to Ron being bitten is also remarkably callous and self-centered. --SVA
