But finally, Hagrid understood. "Wot's that you say? Bill? Bill
Weasley? In trouble? Oh no! I've got to do somethin'!"

Hagrid realized immediately that there was more to this hero business
than he'd first imagined. Yes yes, he had to do something, but what? He
had so many questions. What kind of trouble was Bill in? And what was
Norbert doing with Bill anyway? Last Hagrid knew, his dragon had been
staying with *Charlie* Weasley in Romania, but that was long ago, and
anyway, Hagrid knew nothing of Romania, though he was fairly certain
that there was a type of lettuce named after it.

"Norbert!" Hagrid shouted rather impatiently to the hyperactive
dragon. "Settle a bit an' tell me what's goin' on! Where's Bill, and
'ow did he go gettin' himself in trouble??"
Suddenly, Hagrid noticed a small roll of parchment lying at his feet. He'd
been so excited upon his beloved dragon's arrival that he hadn't seen
Norbert drop the note when he landed.
Hagrid was puzzled - Norbert was a Norwegian Ridgeback, not an owl! What
on Earth could be going on here? It occurred to him that, just perhaps,
reading the note could give him some insight.
Hagrid fumbled with the note for a moment, as it was difficult to unroll
such a small piece of parchment with such awfully large fingers. After
a second or two, Hagrid had the note opened and began to read. Why,
it was from Charlie!
"Dear Hagrid," the note began. "The most terrible thing has happened! It
all started when Bill got his hands on one of Dad's Muggle artifacts. . ."
