Chapter 137: When the Dragon Wakes Up
A very comfortable sleep.
Nobel's mouth chewed unconsciously, as if he was eating something delicious, but there was actually nothing at all. Looking at Noble's sharp, chilling teeth, Harry couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Hagrid was going to pack Noble in a large crate, but was stopped by Luke.
Crazy...... A large crate, led from the first floor of the castle to the top floor of the observatory, is still an unrestrained living creature inside.
Small kiosk app
Luke knew that this was the method in the original book, but it was still carried up by a few children. When Luke heard about Hagrid's plan, he looked at Nobel's body, which was almost the size of half a table, and then at Hermione, Harry, and Ron. These three people, even if they have magic to help, are a bit embarrassing.
You know, the stairs at Hogwarts are good as magic stairs, but that doesn't mean they move on their own.
It was a bit unreliable to expect Harry and Ron to carry Noble to the rooftop. Hagrid himself felt that something was wrong after listening to Luke's words. He still subconsciously treated the two little wizards as adults.
So he came up with this solution. Compared with using the crate directly, he himself is a little troublesome, because he has to find herbs and boil medicines...... But Harry, they weren't at ease. At least now they don't have to fight Noble, and they don't have to worry about Noble making some big moves to wake up the others.
Of course, these are ideal states, and Luke is cautious because anything can happen. After all, he had a lot of trust in Hagrid's promises or other aspects, but that didn't mean he was completely comfortable with Hagrid's work.
To make a group of children buy a book like "The Monster Book of the Monsters", which is quite difficult to deal with, as a textbook, can only be said that Hagrid, a half-giant, is a bit of a 'why not eat minced meat'.
He was always sloppy in such matters.
Even Hagrid himself never denied this.
With Luke's warning, Harry finally didn't have to do heavy physical work this time. But that doesn't mean Harry's little life is comfortable.
On the contrary, he was really a little scared of holding a fire dragon as big as half a table like this. Fortunately, Luke was right next to him, and during this time, nothing really happened.
Looking at the delirious Nobber, Harry also asked with some curiosity: "Luke, you say, where did Hagrid find such a potion, and will it be useful to people?" ”
Luke looked at Harry in some surprise, because Harry's question just now gave him a not-so-good association. But looking at Harry's honest and serious expression, that is, I know that Harry should not have such thoughts, after all, he is still a young child.
"I don't know, but don't look at Hagrid's usual appearance, in fact, he is indeed a very good magical beast expert, and it can even be said that he is a little famous."
Luke is not talking nonsense, Hagrid's level has not been recognized much in the academic community for various reasons. But in reality, there is absolutely no problem with his ability. This potion, you say it was Hagrid's own research, he believes it.
"That said, but does Hagrid also have research on potions? It can't be Snape, right? ”
Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help but glance worriedly at Noble beside him.
Luke didn't care, and even said with a smile, "If it's really Professor Snape, that's fine." After all, when it comes to potions, he's a real expert. ”
If it was really Snape's medicine, then Luke would have dared to let Harry lead the dragon up by himself.
However, he believes that this medicine is most likely not very effective for humans.
Potions in the wizarding world are very magical things, not to mention the different objects used, for some potions with strict use requirements, sometimes, even if they are only used for a different time, they will not work at all, and even play some other strange role.
And if this medicine can really act on people, there is really no reason for such a good medicine to be obscure.
However, Harry's question also made him a little puzzled. If there really is such a good thing, wouldn't Hagrid have used it in the original book?
Simply forgot? Or is it the difference between the two parallel worlds?
Or...... This is also one of the conspiracies.
Luke couldn't help but sigh at the timeliness of Harry's reminder.
So while secretly clenching his wand, he said, "Don't worry, there is me." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his hand towards Harry.
Harry looked at the secure look on Luke's face, nodded vigorously, and then took Luke's hand.
Luke:......
"I'm asking you to give me the rope ......"
Luke wanted to laugh, but thought it might be a little more embarrassing to laugh now, so he simply lost his face.
Harry opened his mouth, then quickly spread his hand away, and quickly shoved the rope holding Noble in his other hand.
Looking at Harry's embarrassed expression, Luke shook his head. Didn't say anything.
Although everyone looks a little embarrassed, Luke is actually fine. The older a person gets, the more he will find that a lot of embarrassing black history in his eyes is often not worth mentioning in the eyes of others, or he just laughs after hearing about it.
Few people care so much about a person that they even keep their black history in mind.
By this time, they had reached the top of the building, and Luke expected that the speed should be significantly faster than the original. But things haven't taken a turn so far, which makes him more and more vigilant.
If it was more than a month ago, Luke faced such a situation, the biggest possibility was that he felt that his planning ability was not bad. And now, he will subconsciously think that there may be some other conspiracy in this, and the closer to the moment of success, the more he can't relax.
Who knows what will come up around the next corner?
Luke felt like he had shaken Professor McGonagall away, and if Voldemort hadn't tried to stop him, everyone would have been happy, and that would have ended well.
But could Voldemort really resist the trouble?
Joke...... Luke gave him a chance to tear down the stage. If he could hold back, let this matter end, and wait for the final battle, Luke would still look up to him.
After all, if he had to fight now, Luke would suffer, but Voldemort would definitely lose more. Even his original plans would have been greatly affected. And given Voldemort's unstable mental state, Luke didn't think that the other party would be able to restrain the desire to make trouble for them this time.
After all, compared to the original book, Luke's repeated teasing and teasing probably has worn out his patience long ago.
Now Voldemort, to say that he is a powder keg is to say lightly. Luke knew very well that the current opponent was able to suppress madness, entirely because the attraction of the Philosopher's Stone was enough. Seriously, if it weren't for the Philosopher's Stone that Dumbledore took out as bait this time, Luke estimated that Voldemort would definitely not have so many scruples.
Restore your strength a little, and then grab a handful, of course, it's best to grab it, and if you can't grab it, it's just like that, it's not so simple to recover your body. But I can't stand it, it's a philosopher's stone. Even Luke will have fluctuations in his heart when he listens to it, and Taylor even has some gaffes after hearing it.
This is what allowed Voldemort to suppress his madness, and then plan well and control his destruction of Hogwarts as much as possible. After all, he didn't want to show his stuff.
It's like when you're catching a Pokémon, you're super lucky enough to come across a flash that only appears in a few thousand, but because of a mistake in the back, the Pokémon can't be found, but you forgot to save it......
No one wants to be upset by such a gain-and-lose.
Therefore, Voldemort will definitely be careful and careful, and even if he gets the Philosopher's Stone, he will not immediately go crazy to destroy, but will quickly hide until his strength is completely restored, and then go out of the mountain to wreak havoc.
It seems that Dumbledore is such a precious treasure to take risks, but in fact, this can better protect these students who are inexplicably involved.
As for why we have to insist on doing this kind of thing in school, of course, it is because we want to train our saviors. Everything in the first grade can be said to be a play. It was a scene in which Dumbledore observed and exercised Harry. From the very beginning, he was fishing with the Philosopher's Stone. He didn't even care if Voldemort took the bait. As long as a person is slightly strong enough to break into Gringotts, he is qualified enough to be a whetstone in Dumbledore's eyes.
Of course, all of this was Luke's guess, what was going on, maybe Dumbledore himself knew it later. Luke didn't bother to ask about it. This kind of thing that has passed and is not important to the truth can be regarded as the truth in your heart, and there is no need to get to the bottom of it. Unless the outcome of the matter is not what you want.
Just as Luke was thinking about these things and looking around vigilantly, Harry's nose shrugged, and then he said with a confused expression, "Luke, do you smell anything strange?" ”
Luke's brow furrowed for a moment, and then he also noticed the hint of the surging and intoxicating aroma.
Naturally, such an aroma could not have appeared for no reason.
And at that moment, footsteps could be heard behind them. Luke's brow furrowed abruptly, and his original train of thought was interrupted.
"Taylor, what are you doing here?!"
He asked in a low voice. In the silent hallway, the sound was not loud, but it was enough to be heard.
But in response to him, it was indeed Taylor's normal volume, which carried a clear hint of anxiety in his voice.
"The dragon is waking up!"
Luke's face instantly regained its calm.
"Harry, leave!"
Luke immediately spoke, and then without hesitation, he quickly retreated, and at the same time took out his wand and aimed it at Noble, and he fainted.
Luke's fainting was practiced by himself, not by the system, and he was not practiced to the extent that he was included in the skill column by the system, which led to the fact that his fainting did not make Noble really faint.
Although it seems to be a stumbling moment, the state of excitement is becoming more and more obvious. At this time, the mouth was unconsciously opening and closing. The clash of the upper and lower teeth made a crisp, metal-like sound.
If it weren't for Taylor's interruption, Luke would have thought of it. There was something wrong with the medicine Hagrid was getting.
Originally, Luke thought that it would be some kind of ancient book, or something that Hagrid had researched himself, but now it seems that it should have been obtained from someone, or the news that he had this thing in his hand was leaked, and the weakness of this thing happened to be known to Voldemort.
Luke himself knows how low the likelihood of the second option is. The more times the news passes, the farther away from the truth, and similarly, the closer the probability of a corresponding situation is to a 'coincidence'.
Harry was also quick to retreat, or rather, he had consciously distanced himself from Noble from the beginning. The dragon had grown so fast that Harry thought he couldn't deal with it on his own now.
Even though he's only a baby dragon, don't forget that Harry is only a slightly older human cub. Moreover, the innate ability of the fire dragon is much stronger than that of normal humans. The first-year wizard challenged the juvenile fire dragon, and it was not something to be ridiculed if he failed.
And when such a young dragon goes berserk...... It's hard to say exactly what's going to happen.
Luke stepped back lightly and landed beside a panting Taylor. Seeing Luke approaching, Taylor gasped and said, "I saw Noble wake up." ”
"The man, the man is still around......"
Luke's face changed, but before he could reply, the dragon not far away leaped down from the height, spread its young wings, but were able to fly a little, and swooped down on Harry's face, which was a little closer to it.
It doesn't necessarily have any cannibalistic ideas. Now all you might think about is attacking. Harry may not die if he bites down, but serious injuries are inevitable.
Harry looked at the rapidly enlarged dragon shadow in front of him, but he was a little stunned for a moment.
At this moment, he seemed to see the gentle woman again, and the tall man. At this moment, he thought he was going to be reunited with them.
"Everte Statum!"
With a shout from Taylor, Noble stopped in the air and began to spin. But after a tight spin, it stopped. But it also fell from mid-air.
Harry's reflexes in Quidditch allowed him to quickly take advantage of the opportunity to retreat some distance, and finally pulled out his wand and aimed it at Norber, who was on the ground with his mouth open, looking a little dizzy.
I'd better not be in a hurry to find you, Mom and Dad.
