Objectives
1 Talk to Poppy in Hogsmeade town circle.
Poppy is waiting by the tree. If it's not daytime when you arrive, you'll have to Wait in the glowing circle first. Speak to Poppy in the daytime.
2 Find the dragon's nest.
You'll be automatically transported to where Poppy found the dragon. Follow the straightforward path until you encounter mongrels. Dispatch them then head up the bridge.
2a Use Reparo on the bridge then cross it. Keep heading straight through the path until you encounter a cut scene with the dragon.
3 Get past the dragon and closer to her nest.
The dragon shoots 3 fireballs at a time. In between its rounds, quickly head forward and duck behind the cover in front of you. Keep doing this until you make it forward to the entryway beneath the dragon.
3a Head up to the second floor, where there'll be another area where you'll have to find cover from dragon shots. Similarly push forward here. Note that in this area, the dragon only fires 2 fireballs.
3b Head up to the third floor, where there'll be yet another area you'll need to find cover. Push forward yet again here to the cave beneath the dragon.
4 Place the egg in its nest.
Head up through the cave and to the broken bridge. Use Reparo on it to cross. Place the Egg on the rock on the other side. This completes the quest.

Poached Egg Tips and Strategies

Duck Behind Stone Cover

When trying to find cover to shield you from dragon fire, stone/brick cover would be your best bet, as wooden boxes get completely destroyed by the fire blast.
