During the events of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy go to Hagrid's hut and tell him they know about the Sorceror's Stone. They tell him they think Professor Snape is trying to steal the stone, but Hagrid tells them he is one of the professors protecting it. As they are talking to Hagrid, Fang starts sniffing Ron's face. Hagrid pulls out a dragon egg, which hatches into a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon, which Hagrid names Norbert. After they are given detention they are brought by Mr Filch to help Hagrid in the Dark Forest. Hagrid tells them Albus Dumbledore made him send Norbert to Romania. They follow Hagrid and Fang into the forest and find unicorn blood and Hagrid tells them he found one dead a few weeks ago and their goal is to find the wounded unicorn. They split up and Harry and Draco go with Fang. They come across a robed figure hunched over the wounded unicorn and Fang and Draco run away, leaving Harry.
