Dragon egg

All Dragons come from a Dragon Egg from all over the world. Dragon's eggs tend to be very large and need a lot of heat from their mothers to hatch. Dragon mothers are very potective of their eggs, as is found out in the Triwizard Tournament when Harry's Hungarian Horntail tries to stop Harry from capturing the Golden egg.

In Harry's first year at Hogwarts, Hagrid won a dragon's egg off a stranger he met down the pub at Hogsmeade. The stranger had on a cloak so that no one could see his identity, but we later find out that he is Professor Quirrell. Hagrid keeps the egg and tries to hatch it by keeping it under the stove.
