Chapter 13: All for the Dragon

After Christmas, the students all returned to school. Hogwarts is alive and buzzing again. At the same time, a new Quidditch match begins, and Snape is to referee the Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor match. Phoenix lowered the odds on Hufflepuff and Draco complained that Snape should have been in charge of the Slytherin vs Gryffindor match so that the game would have been the best to watch.

It only took Harry five minutes to catch the Golden Snitch, but Phoenix had heard about it, and instead of going to the game, he was dragged to a classroom by Hermione.

"A dragon, in Hagrid's hut. "Phoenix was a little surprised. No sooner had they entered an abandoned underground classroom than Hermione began to recount why she had come to Phoenix.

"A small dragon, but it won't be long before it's as big as Hagrid's house, and it's illegal to keep a dragon. If discovered—" Hermione couldn't bear to think about it.

"But I can't change the bill. If you want me to do this. ”

"No, no, it's Malfoy, he saw it. He will definitely tell the professor. We've reached out to Ron's older brother Charlie, who is studying dragons in Romania, and he's agreed to take in Noble. Noble is the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon. You just have to make sure Malfoy stays silent during this time. ”

"Ah, I see, I said Draco has been restless lately. It dawned on Phoenix, but the conversation changed, "But what do I get?"

"What do you want?" Hermione said unhappily.

"You. With that, Phoenix kissed Hermione's lips, his hands constantly caressing her tender body.

When his hand touched Hermione's breasts, the girl finally had a hard time looking away. "Don't, no—yes, here. ”

"I'm sorry, you're so beautiful that I can't help it. Hermione blushed and looked embarrassed.

Brown hair obscured the expression on her face, and the two stood in the quiet classroom with each other in their arms.

In the evening, head back to the common room.

"Draco, follow me. Draco nervously followed.

"Sit down. Pointing to the chair in the dormitory, he heard Phoenix's tone as usual. Draco breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it wasn't that, yes, it had to be something else.

"Something, Draco. The affirmative tone made him nervous again.

Draco's eyes flickered, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't slept well lately." ”

"Oh, because you always dream of dragons?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Phoenix. Dragon!" the last word was very dramatic.

The two looked at each other, Phoenix smiling, and soon Draco looked away.

"Yes, I guess Granger told you, I was trying to get them and get them personally, so they would definitely be expelled, that illegal dragon, my father must have a way to get my family's dragon farm, so it would be mine, I figured out when they transferred the dragon. Next Saturday night at the highest astronomical tower. But since -- I can give up. The more Draco spoke, the more depressed his tone became.

"I didn't ask you to give up on that dragon Draco. ”

"What?" Draco was confused.

"I didn't ask you to give up on that dragon Draco. Phoenix repeats it clearly.

"But, Granger, I see you're in—"

"What do you see!" the smile on Phoenix's face disappeared in an instant, and he was replaced by a serious face.

There was silence for a moment, "Don't say it to anyone, Draco." ”

"No, you can use the Oblivion Charm on me. Draco was worried about what he had just said, which angered Phoenix, and hurriedly said.

"No, our family has a stake in the Romanian dragon farm, and as soon as the dragon arrives, I will ask my father to pass it on, your family's dragon farm in the south of France. That way you can still get the dragon, from a legal point of view. ”

"Fantastic, thank you. Phoenix. Draco immediately turned cloudy.

The two reappeared in the common room, and Melinda immediately greeted them.

"I heard that the girl came to talk to you about things in the afternoon?" Melinda asked in a nonchalant tone.

"You know, I'm writing a paper, and she wants to ask about progress. Phoenix lied without blushing and heartbeat.

"Really?" he knew he was afraid she wouldn't believe a word, looking at his slightly narrowed eyes. A woman's intuition is terrifying. She wasn't saying anything, though. They sat down by the fire and began to review their homework.

"Don't worry, I've already spoken to him, the dragon will leave Hogwarts safely, and no one else will know. Phoenix stopped Harry in the foyer.

"Thank you. "Harry and Ron, thank you very much Phoenix for your help. It's just that they don't know how their other friend got him to agree.

"But why didn't you let him tell the professor? ”

"Oh, my family owns most of the shares of the dragon farm in Romania, and as soon as the dragon arrives, it will be sent to Draco's dragon farm. After saying that, Phoenix said goodbye and left.

"Wait, he meant, the dragon spun around and ended up running into Draco's hands. Ron couldn't believe it.

"Leave him alone, as long as Hagrid isn't sent to Azkaban. Harry didn't look up, and continued to look for white fresh in A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms.

It wasn't always going to be easy, and Noble had gone that night, and Draco insisted on seeing it off. He's taken the dragon for himself. Filch took him, Harry, and Hermione to Professor McGonagall's office, where they were locked up and deducted fifty points each, and Slytherin was relieved. Gryffindor's hard-earned points were deducted again.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Harry, Hermione, and Draco were in the foyer to be surprised to find that Phoenix was there. This puzzled them.

"Here you are, I asked Professor Snape to go with you to the Forbidden Forest to get first-hand information to complete my dissertation. Harry and Hermione smiled reassuringly.

"Follow me. Filch said viciously, lit a lamp, and led them out. "I think you're going to have to think twice about breaking the school rules in the future, aren't you, huh?" He squinted at them, and continued: "Oh, yes—if you ask me, I must say that hard work and hardship are the best teachers—and it's a pity that they have abolished the old form of punishment -- hanging you by the wrists and hanging you from the ceiling for days. I still have those chains in my office, and I often oil them and maybe one day they will come in handy - all right, let's go, but don't try to run away. But if you run away, you will have no good fruit to eat. ”

Hagrid carried a large stone bow and a well-stocked quiver on his shoulder. "Hello, Harry, Hermione, come on, let's go to the Forbidden Forest. ”

"They shouldn't have been so polite, Hagrid. Filch said.

"Now I'm in charge. Hagrid said with a frown.

He led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, held the lamp aloft in the air, and pointed to a path that was gradually disappearing into the depths of the black forest. "See that glittering thing on the ground? Silvery-white, it's unicorn blood. A unicorn was injured by something, and it was very badly injured. This is the second time in a week. Last Wednesday I found one dead. We're going to try to find that poor unicorn and free it from its misery. ”

They then split into two groups, Hagrid, Hermione, and Draco, Harry and Phoenix, and a dog named Toothtooth. Draco was extremely upset, he didn't think it was safe to follow Hagrid.

So, Harry and Phoenix walked together towards the center of the Forbidden Forest. They walked for nearly half an hour, deeper and deeper into the forest, until the trees became so dense that the path was almost impassable.

They walked around the tangled roots of an ancient tree and could see a clearing in the ground. Harry and Phoenix looked at each other, and a cloaked figure was drinking the blood of a unicorn with his head down.

Suddenly, he looked up at the two of them. Harry was so frightened that he fell backwards, "There are many obstacles!"

A horseman crossed over their heads and nearly kicked the man in the head, and the hooded figure quickly disappeared.

"Are you alright?" asked the centaur as he pulled Harry to his feet. Next to it, Phoenix fires a red spark.

Hagrid and the others came quickly, and the centaur who said he was called Ferenze carried Harry all the way to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
