Finwitch:

You know, MM thought then that Harry&Ron *lied* about the dragon for 
no other reason than to trick Draco. Harry doesn't correct her out of 
loyalty to Hagrid.

Later, I believe, Hagrid told her the truth: there WAS a Dragon, and 
Harry&Ron were shifting Norbert off to Romania to be taken care of by 
Charlie Weasley.

And *that* is why the detention got taken place with Hagrid, and not 
Filch. So no need for it to be unfairness between houses even this 
way!
