Me:

No.  In the chapter "Nicholas Flamel" - pp.160-162 in my edition - it 
takes place in the Gryffindor common room. Neville comes in after 
Malfoy puts a leg-locker curse on him and Harry gives him a chocolate 
frog to cheer him up and finds the reference to NF on the Dumbledore 
card; this reminds him that he had seen it previously on the very 
first chocolate frog hr had seen on the Hogwarts Express. Hermione 
brings the "light" reading down from her dormitory.
