Muggle News: on 5th May Russian leaders in Crimea declare their separation from Ukraine as a new republic. They withdraw the secession on May 10.
On Friday: Hagrid won a dragon egg while having a few drinks and playing a card game in Hogsmeade Village with a stranger. On Saturday: The Trio are surprised to see Hagrid in the Library, looking for books about raising dragons. When they let on that they know about Nicolas Flamel, the Philosopher’s Stone, and Fluffy, Hagrid tells them to come to his hut later and he’d tell them more about it. When they go later, Hagrid shows them he has a dragon egg, ready to hatch. On Monday: Hagrid sends a message to the trio at breakfast, they arrive at his hut after Herbology just in time to see the baby Norwegian Ridgeback emerge from its egg. The baby dragon sneezes some sparks and almost bites Hagrid (who is delighted). Then everyone realises that Draco Malfoy has witnessed the event through a window.
