Chapter 40: Little Dragon Nobber

Dragons are not allowed to be kept privately in the wizarding world, and even with the power of the Malfoy family, Draco has not been able to get a dragon of his own.

However, it is not surprising that Hagrid, a lowly half-blood giant, dared to violate the laws of the wizarding world and secretly hatched a dragon egg.

Once discovered, even Dumbledore would not be able to protect him.

Dragons have a short growth cycle, and their bodies grow very quickly, and with Draco's knowledge of dragons, it only takes three weeks for this dragon to break Hagrid's cramped cabin.

Knowing this, Hagrid was so stupid as to secretly hide the dragon in his cabin, which was simply an opportunity given to him by God.

Taking advantage of this big haode opportunity to get rid of Hagrid, a die-hard Dumbledore loyalist, is expected to make Dumbledore's heart ache for a while.

With that thought, Draco was able to suppress some of his desire for the little dragon a little, and he quietly stepped back, not wanting to alarm the people inside to miss such a great opportunity.

Unfortunately, accidents always happen when people least want them to happen, otherwise accidents would not be called accidents.

"Click!"

A soft sound, the actual sound is actually not loud, but it is extremely clear in such a bad environment.

Draco glared at his hand in annoyance, he had accidentally hooked the shard by the window when he was backing away, and I am afraid that everyone inside had noticed that someone was peeping.

It's been discovered!

The thought was in the minds of both parties at the same time, whether it was Draco or Harry and the others, they would never want such an unexpected guy to be around at this time.

Before he had time to think about it, Draco turned around and ran, not seeing the door open behind him, revealing a face belonging to Harry Potter.

Draco's back was finally seen by Harry.

"Who? Was that sleeping just now? ”

Hagrid jumped to his feet and ran to the window to look. He looked at Harry in horror, he knew full well how big he had committed. For a guy with a criminal record, the people at the Ministry of Magic will not show mercy.

"The worst-case scenario, it's the Malfoy ......"

Harry said slowly with a dark face, with their relationship, it was a good thing that they couldn't dream of if they didn't want Malfoy to snitch.

Oh, my God! Malfoy?

Hagrid collapsed to the ground in despair, the second half of his life in Azkaban already in his mind.

"Oh no, Malfoy found out, he'll definitely inform the professor."

This kind of thing doesn't have to be thought of, the things that can make them unpleasant, even if it is on his own, Draco will do it.

"Hagrid, you must send the dragon away. Yes, how about sending it to the Forbidden Forest? Otherwise, you're going to have an accident. ”

Hermione strongly suggested that she still had a good opinion of Hagrid, and that she didn't want to have to visit Azikaban next time.

Hagrid was torn between his own safety and his friends' worries, and on the other hand, his uncontrollable love for magical creatures. He knew he had to make a choice as soon as possible, but his inner wavering made him unable to make up his mind, knowing that the longer he delayed, the more dangerous it would be.

"Oh~ No, I, I can't, I can't do this, it's just been born, it's still a small child, it can't be without its mother's care."

Hagrid wept bitterly, his fan-sized hands covering his face, tears streaming from his fingers.

As for Hagrid, who had worked hard to hatch the dragon, he undoubtedly devoted himself to the dragon, and he couldn't bear to send the dragon away at the thought that Noble had to fight for his own survival when he was just born.

"You can do it, you have to do it. Hagrid, look at me! Listen, there's no way to hide a dragon here. You know, it only takes three weeks for it to grow the size of this house. ”

Hermione had a headache, she really didn't want to get involved in this matter, and once she found out that they were involved, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She didn't want her parents to have to visit her every year in the spooky Azkaban, where they would die of grief.

They didn't send her to Hogwarts to get her into prison.

"That's right, Hagrid, you can't keep a dragon here, it's too dangerous. Dragons breathe fire, and your house is made of wood. ”

Ron was also on Hermione's side, and for this dangerous creature, it was okay to look at it from a distance, he didn't want to have one by his side.

"Hagrid, it's not that we don't want to help you, but raising a dragon at Hogwarts, even Dumbledore won't agree."

The rare Harry also understood the seriousness of the matter, and if they didn't want to be punished again, they had to send the dragon away before Malfoy could tell the professor about it.

But Harry still underestimated the seriousness of the matter, and if it was exposed, it would not be a problem that could be solved by locking up and copying or cleaning the campus.

For the next week, Harry and the others watched with fear for Draco's face to change, lest one day their secret would be revealed.

Although they had the idea of communicating with Malfoy, they were immediately snuffed out in their hearts, and Slytherin was not to be trusted.

Maybe it's a psychological effect, whenever they Yujian Draco these days, they always feel that there is a malicious smile hidden on his face. This made Harry, Ron, and Hermione very unsettling. They spent most of their spare time in Hagrid's dimly lit cabin, reasoning with him.

"Just let it go," Harry persuaded, "and let it go." ”

"I can't," said Hagrid, "it's too small to die." ”

They looked at the little dragon, which had tripled in length in just a week. Clouds of smoke puffed out of its nostrils. Hagrid put aside the job of guarding the hunting grounds because the dragon was messing with him. The ground was littered with empty brandy bottles and chicken feathers.

Hagrid's anomaly gradually caught the attention of others, and some intelligent people sensed that something was wrong. The increasingly unfavorable situation deepened the unease in Harry's minds.

"I decided to call it Noble," Hagrid said, looking at the dragon with tearful eyes, "and it really knows me now, you see." Noble! Noble! Where's Mom? ”

"Hagrid!" Harry raised his voice, "In two weeks, Noble will be as long as your house." Malfoy could go to Dumbledore at any moment. ”

Hagrid bit her lip, "I- I know I can't keep it forever, but I can't just throw it away, I can't." ”

"Let it go!" Harry's voice was full of pleading.

Harry turned to Ron suddenly.

"Charlie."

"What?"

Ron looked at him puzzled, what happened to Charlie?

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

"No, no! You are mistaken! I mean, Charlie-" Harry waved his hand eagerly, "Charlie-your brother Charlie." In Romania, study the dragon Charlie. We might as well give Noble to him. Charlie can take care of it and release it back into the wild. ”

"Great idea, that's great! How's that, Hagrid? ”

Ron patted his thigh in agreement, and he looked expectantly at Hagrid, and at the little dragon named Norber.

Oh!

Maybe it can't be described as a little dragon anymore.

Ron compared Noble's length, and he almost surpassed them, which was too aggrieved if it was too small.

After Hermione's persuasion with emotion, Hagrid finally relented, agreeing to send an owl to Charlie first.

But then they had to think about what way to send Xiaolong away under the noses of all the teachers and students of the school. Even Hermione, who had always been resourceful, frowned, Noble was a living dragon, and he would never let Noble enter the list of items transported by the owl unless the inspectors were blind.

On Wednesday night, after everyone else had gone to bed, Hermione and Harry were still sitting in the common room. The clock on the wall had just struck twelve o'clock when the portrait hole was suddenly opened.

Ron took off Harry's invisibility cloak as if he had fallen from the sky. He had just gone to Hagrid's hut to help feed Norber, who was now eating dead rats in wooden crates.

"It bit me!" Ron said, showing them his hands, wrapped in blood-stained handkerchiefs.

"I couldn't hold a pen for a week. Let me tell you, the dragon is the most terrible animal I've ever seen, but the way Hagrid treats it, you think it's a fluffy bunny. After it bit me, Hagrid wouldn't let me scare it. As I left, I heard him singing a lullaby. ”

Judging from Ron's aggrieved appearance, he probably won't like any dragons anymore in the future.

The long-term wait finally progressed, and there was a lapping sound in the dark window.

"It's Hedwig!" Harry said, hurrying over and letting it in, "It must have brought Charlie's reply!" ”

The three heads came together, looking at the note.

Dear Ron,

How are you? Xiexie, you write to me - I'm glad I adopted that Norwegian Ridgeback, but it's not easy to get it here. I think the best thing to do is to send it to a couple of my friends first, who are coming to see me next week. The trouble is that they must not be seen to carry a dragon illegally.

Can you take the Spinal Dragon to the tallest tower at midnight on Saturday? They can meet you there and take the dragon away while it's dark.

Please hear back to me as soon as possible.

Love you.

Charlie

The three of them looked at each other, and Harry looked at the cloak that Ron had just returned, and spread it out and gestured twice.

"We have the Cloak of Invisibility," said Harry, "it shouldn't be too hard—I think the Cloak is enough to cover the two of us and Noble. ”

Ron and Hermione immediately agreed, which showed how hard the next week would be. Anything, as long as you can get rid of Noble—and Malfoy.

The premise is that Malfoy can't denounce them before that.

In order not to irritate him as much as possible, for the next few days, Harry and the others took a detour to avoid Malfoy as soon as they saw him from a distance.

Aside from the lessons they had to take with Slytherin, the trio tried to keep their figures out of Malfoy's presence as much as possible.

If he could just forget about it, it would be Merlin's blessing.
