Dazai couldn 't hold the egg without killing the dragon inside. This made moving it exceptionally difficult. But it couldn 't stay with Ron. No... there was no saying whether Quirrell would make some kind of play to get the egg back. Keeping it with Dazai 's only known accomplices would just leave it open for the taking. When it came to the dragon, Ron, Fred, and George were all made. Dazai had a few ideas about where he could put the egg to keep it out of Quirrell 's prying hands. But, well...

Hiding it wasn 't a problem.

Moving

it was.

Fred and George watched with mute amusement as Dazai tried to puzzle this particular problem out.

'Just, ' Fred said, 'pick it up? '

'And walk it over to the Slytherin common rooms? '

Ron squinted up at him from the bed. He hovered over the egg. 'Or leave it here. I 'm keeping an eye on Eggy just fine. '
