Alright so you find out in the beginning of chapter 13 is that Dumbledore convinced Harry not to go looking for the mirror again, and later Harry and the rest of the quidditch team are wondering why Wood keeps pushing them so hard for practice. But they find out that Snape is going to referee the next game of Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff. Also of course they find out who Nicholas Flamel is. Harry remembers seeming his name on Albus Dumbledore's collectors card from the chocolate frogs. So you find out that Nicholas is 665 and that the Sorcerer's Stone turns things into gold, and gives the elixer of life. Which is why he is so old. (in the movie they don't mention his wife who happens to be 658). So of course at this time they find out that the 3-headed dog is guarding the Sorcerer's Stone. So not long later in the chapter the next quidditch game is about to start (by the way this whole part in the book is not in the movie, which probably should have since it seems to me to be pretty important). The game lasts 5 minutes, literally. Harry catches the snitch within 5 minutes of the game. Not letting Snape call any fouls on them. Also putting Gryffindor in the lead for the Quidditch Cup. After the game Harry saw a hooded figure rushing toward the forbidden forest. So of course Harry got on his Nimbus Two Thousand and soared over the Forbidden Forest. Seeing that Quirrell and Snape were talking (Snape was the hooded figure, by the way they kind of alter this part in the movie instead of their chat being in the Forbidden Forest, Harry actually sees Snape and Quirrell in the castle while he is wandering the halls after hours). Snape says "We'll have another little chat soon, when you've had time to think over and decided where your loyalties lie." Harry goes back to the common room and tells Hermione and Ron about it.
So in Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback you can obviously tell what is going on in this chapter, Hagrid gets hold of a dragon egg. (Hagrid tells Harry in the beginning of the book how much he's always wanted to raise a dragon). So pretty much Hagrid wins the dragon egg through a card game at the Hog's Head (a tavern in the town nearby). Hermoine is telling him that it is illegal to have a dragon. By the way Harry and the gang also find out everything blocking the sorcerer's stone, first up is Fluffy (3-Headed dog), then is Professor Sprout (the Herbology teacher), then Professor Flitwick (Charm's), Professor McGonagall (Transfiguration), Professor Quirrell (Defense against the Dark Arts), Professor Snape (Potions), and lastly Professor Dumbledore (do I have to say at this point? That's in order as well). So anyways Harry and the gang were talking about that the egg was hatching in Herbology and Malfoy overheard, which is obviously bad news because now they are under his palm. So they quickly find a way to get rid of the dragon, Charlie (Ron's brother), and they must wait till the next saturday to get rid of it. So Hagrid has the dragon for a few weeks. Harry and the gang go to bring the dragon to the tallest tower at midnight to get rid of him. On their way up there McGonagall finds Malfoy lurking (Malfoy gets a book from Ron, which contains the note that is sent by Charlie to meet him up there at midnight). They get rid of the dragon and forget the invisibility cloak in the tower, and Filch catches them.
