Chapter 61: Noble's Future

As soon as they left Hagrid's hut, they parted ways, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked as fast as they could. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Draco was slow, and didn't seem to care at all. Vio wanted to walk slower, but Hermione's arm was unconsciously tugged, so he had to follow their pace to avoid falling to the ground in the next second.

As the foyer parted, Harry, Ron and Hermione clearly had high hopes for her, "You can try to observe, no, follow Malfoy, if he has the slightest urge to snitch-"

"Tell us right away, but don't do it yourself!" Ron added, "I fought him last time, and honestly, that kid had a good fight. ”

Harry and Hermione stared at him disapprovingly. He added, "I'm worried that VIO will suffer." ”

"Why do we think you're so bad at fighting, that you think Malfoy is playing well?" Harry replied angrily.

"I was worried about you flying on the pitch - why don't you try it yourself?!" Ron was reddened by his ears, a sign of his anger.

"That's enough, you two, is it important to beat Malfoy, why don't you dare compare who has a better score with Malfoy?" Hermione interrupted. "As long as Vio can keep an eye on Malfoy's movements, he doesn't have to go head-to-head with him. Of course, we know you're no match for Malfoy and won't let you do anything stupid. Hermione smiled comfortingly at Vio.

"・・・・・・" for a long time, none of them believed in her combat effectiveness. Vio remembers that scene at the Black Lake in the morning and gives Hermione a mysterious smile that reassures her. Hermione got goosebumps all over her body as she watched, and subconsciously, Hermione was a little inexplicably worried about Draco's future.

Over the next week, Vio often led Draco to Hagrid's hut at his behest, where they occasionally met the three of Harry, and there was always a bloody show, starting with Draco and Harry fighting over the opportunity to feed the dragon, and then Ron jealous that the dragon would rub Harry and Draco's palms with his hairless head.

After a week, the dragon was three times its length.

In addition, Hagrid had left the job of guarding the hunting grounds aside, and the little dragon had already made him scramble, and the floor of the hut was littered with empty brandy bottles and chicken feathers.

Hermione began to reason with Hagrid worriedly. Harry persuaded him, "Just let it go, let it go." ”

"I can't," Hagrid said. "It's too small, it's going to die, it's not going to hunt yet. ”

At this time, a cloud of smoke erupted from the dragon's nostrils, and Hagrid wiped his tears with relief, "You see, it's supporting me. ”

"I decided to call it Noble," Hagrid continued to look at the dragon with tearful eyes, "it really knows me now, you see." Where's Mommy?"

The little dragon let out a low growl, and a cloud of white gas erupted from its nostrils, and its body fluttered in Draco's direction, and Hagrid was dumbfounded. Draco too, he wondered why this stupid big guy called himself "Mommy" instead of "Daddy"?

"In two weeks, it's, Noble," Draco awkwardly said Hagrid's name to the dragon, "and it will be as long as your house." At any moment, someone can find out and be taken away - you and him, you will be taken away. Of course, it is by different institutions. ”

Hagrid didn't seem to expect it to be Draco who said this, and he bit his lip, "I know, I can't keep it forever, but I can't just throw it away, no." ”

When Harry saw him like this, he decided what he was going to do. He turned to Ron abruptly. "Charlie. He said.

"Are you confused?" said Ron, "I'm Ron, remember?"

"No, Charlie, your brother Charlie, in Romania, studying the dragon's Charlie. We can give Noble to him, and Charlie can take care of it and put it back into the wild. ”

"Great!" said Ron, "How's it going, Hagrid?"

Hagrid didn't speak, and Draco gave Vio a gloomy look, as if to ask her why she didn't offer to take Noble back to her farm. VIO shrank her head, she didn't dare to make decisions about such a big thing. Besides, their family manages almost all the dragons in the world, except for one place where the dragons are managed by a local family, and the rest of the dragon farms belong to the Santriel family.

In the future, there will still be a chance to meet Noble.

Fortunately, Draco didn't say much about the Vio family's dragon breeding, otherwise, maybe Hagrid would have agreed to send Noble over, just as he had finally agreed to give Noble to Charlie.

Ron sent an owl to ask Charlie, and once they had agreed on a time, Draco got busy. He first searched the Daily Prophet [the official daily newspaper of the wizarding world with high sales] to find all the shops that advertised food, and then sent the owl to order a bunch of various brands of brandy, air-dried yak meat, marinated porcupine, and so on.

Every morning, there was always a bunch of owls parked at the Slytherin table, and they often gathered in groups around a huge package, and then stood with their feet outstretched, waiting for Draco to pay for them one by one.

Harry and Ron always looked at him with envy, and could tell that they were willing to give Noble a little more affection when he left if they had enough gold galleons in their pockets.

Vio sensed a hint of danger - Draco was making too much fanfare, and it was easy to attract other unwanted attention. Nott and Pansy had already begun to ask Draco why he was doing this, and although Draco always kept his face cold, the more he didn't say it, the more it would arouse the interest of others.

But she couldn't stop Draco, and he rushed to Hagrid's hut with his wine and food whenever he had time for the past few days, and Hagrid, though he didn't want to see him, couldn't take the same attitude toward the things he had brought to Noble. Besides, Noble seemed to have a crush on Draco, and Hagrid reluctantly regarded Draco as Noble's brother.

Draco was furious because Hagrid always called himself "Mommy" and then said to Noble "Brother has come to see you".

On Wednesday night, Vio was in the Gryffindor break room, and Harry and Hermione told her that Ron had gone to Hagrid's in the Invisibility Cloak to help feed Noble. Noble had now started eating dead rats in wooden crates, but had heard that he had eaten the meat Draco had brought with him faster.

At this moment, there was a lapping sound from the dark window.

Harry walked over and opened the window, and a snow-white owl flew in. It was supposed to be Harry's owl Hedwig. It proudly stretched out one of its legs tied to the note, and Harry removed the note, smoothing its feathers, and with a coo, it flew away into the dark night sky.

In the letter, Charlie expressed his willingness to adopt Noble, but at the same time admitted that it would not be easy to take him away, and he planned to take Noble to the highest tower, the Astronomical Tower, in the middle of the night on Saturday, and then his friends would take the dragon away while it was dark.

Harry and Hermione thought it was feasible, they really couldn't help it, and besides, Harry still had an invisibility cloak, so it shouldn't be too dangerous to go out in the middle of the night.

Since Vio was in Slytherin and couldn't be contacted in the middle of the night, they decided to send Noble themselves.

The two of them immediately wrote back to Charlie.

Things went wrong the next morning. When Ron went to feed the dragon last night, Noble bit his finger. Now, the bitten hand is twice as swollen and has a thick scab on the outside, which looks like the surface of a wheat field that has been ravaged by a tornado. At first, he resisted going to the hospital to look for Madam Pomfrey, lest she would see that she had been bitten by a dragon. By the afternoon, however, he had no other choice, and the wounds were covered in an unsightly green that made his whole hand look like a big steamed bun covered with mold - Nobber's teeth must have been poisonous.

To make matters worse, Nott and Crabbe saw Ron's arm in the auditorium and wanted to laugh at him, but Draco didn't say anything, just glanced at Ron.

Knott felt more and more curious. He secretly went to the hospital and told Madam Pomfrey to ask Ron to borrow a book, but he kept threatening and mocking Ron when he entered, forcing him to tell him what he had done to make his arm like that.

"Why is Draco quiet, and another Noether pops up? These Slytherins, it's probably not a good thing to get involved!—vio, I didn't mean you're ・・・・・・"

"Then, in the book he borrowed・・・・・・ Charlie's reply to us was included・・・・・・ "Ron said bitterly at the end.
