The Dragon Escapade occurred because Rubeus Hagrid decided to illegally raise a dragon, and Charlus Potter and Ron Weasley decided to aid him in getting rid of it. When Draco Malfoy got wind of the plans, he involved Harry Potter in a scheme to ruin his life.

## Background:

Hagrid decides to illegally hatch and raise a dragon using the egg won in a shady circumstance. Malfoy finds out and starts hatching his plan to involve Harry into the whole mess and get him into trouble.

## Conflict:

Some days after he dragon hatching, Gregory Goyle bumps into Harry and steals some of his hair to be used later on in a frame by Draco Malfoy. Later still, on the evening when the dragon is to be transported out of Hogwarts with the help of Charlus Potter and Ron Weasley that are to deliver it to Charles Weasley, Harry is walking back from the library and he ends up deviating from his path.

Upon investigation, he stumbles upon an open door with Malfoy talking about his plan. Harry is bound from behind, and brought into the room. There, Malfoy, accompanied by Theodore Nott, Daniel Selwyn, and Andrew Macnair explains that he is getting revenge for the frame job he pulled at the Weitts's Samhain Gathering, and when Harry asks Selwyn what he's getting, Selwyn tortures Harry with the Spasm Curse. Draco explains the extent of his plan to Harry. Keep Harry in this room, frame Harry for the dragon smuggling, memory charm Charlus, and get Harry sent to Azkaban and disinherited for the crimes. They then leave Harry in the room to wallow in his despair.

Eventually, Harry manages to free himself; he then contacts Charlus Potter using the Magical Texting Parchment, and tells him to meet him at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

When he meets his brother, he tells him that Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Andrew Macnair, and Daniel Selwyn know about his plans to get rid of the dragon, and informs them of a new, improved plan. Harry springs Malfoy's trap with a decoy crate, and Charlus flies the dragon up to the Astronomy Tower. His interlocutors would get in trouble for falsely accusing the heir of an Ancient and Most Noble House.

They do as Harry suggests, so Harry ends up being captured with the decoy crate by Malfoy and his cronies and brought to Severus Snape, who is forced to call the Aurors. Following the Aurors investigation, it is revealed that the crate is empty and thus that the accusations levelled against the Heir of Potter are false.

## Aftermath:

The Daily Prophet reports what has happened with the dragon escapade, and that James Potter is planning on suing everyone involved — processes that he wins. As a consequence, the Houses of Malfoy, Nott, Selwyn and McNair take a plunge in the public' perception and they are forced to pay compensation for the actions of their heirs.

The next morning after the events from Severus Snape's office, Draco Malfoy receives a letter from his father telling him to stop engaging with Harry, and intimates a sign of surrender to Harry.
