Chapter 26: The Unforgivable and Persecution

Herbal Lessons.

Pomona Sprout is talking about the nature of the Devil's Web, and this terrifying-looking big guy is actually a light-feared child.

John listened as he wrote the essentials of alchemy in his hand.

After several tests with his pigeon feathers, he could not write well on the butt of the whelk, and after experimenting with several of them, he made a pen out of silver and basil feathers.

Got the blood of some magical creatures from the Forbidden Forest, and successfully completed the alchemy.

His first magic item was a bracelet with ceramic pieces in the shape of a whelk butt.

It doesn't have much effect, it's probably like a one-time amulet, able to cast an iron armor spell at the moment danger is approaching.

This is already the first step, and then when you have a more powerful dragon blood, you may be able to carry out a higher level of alchemy.

He cleared his mind and nodded from time to time to look serious.

And the three little ones not far away were also entangled.

"Shall we tell John that this is a dragon?" Ron thought the dragon was so cool.

Hermione was sensible, she frowned and said, "Ron, have you forgotten what we promised Hagrid. ”

The less people knew about the dragon, the better, and Hermione didn't think it was a good thing for John.

At breakfast, Headway brought Harry a note, written by Hagrid.

The above told a few people that the dragon egg was about to hatch.

This very rare scene made the three little ones not want to miss it, so much so that the studious Hermione deserted in class.

Harry was surprised when he heard her say this, "I thought you would definitely tell John, I mean, that you and John are so good." ”

If you want to say who has the best relationship with John among the three little ones, it is undoubtedly Hermione.

That's why Harry was surprised, if it were him, he would have been able to tell Ron about them.

"It's against the law! At the Wizards' Congress in 1709, a bill prohibiting the breeding of dragons was officially passed, and John's situation in Slytherin was already terrible, and it would have been even worse if he had been deducted points. ”

Hermione was right, and Harry had to refrain from sharing it with John.

Unbeknownst to them, John also received a note.

I was expecting to get dragon blood as experimental materials, and John naturally wouldn't miss it.

Looking at Malfoy, who was smiling evilly beside him, John wondered if the kid had drunk the Elixir as a drink?

"Malfoy, why are you smiling so abstractly?"

"Wick, you never thought of anything stupid Potter had done, and I had to get him out of school this time."

The smile on Malfoy's pale face became more abstract, and his eyes looked in the direction of the three little ones from time to time.

Looking at his posture, it seems that he has grabbed three small handles.

John shrugged, well, it's not the first time this Malfoy has said that.

During the morning break, John did not go to Hagrid's cabin in the open.

Knowing that the dragon was a lawbreaker, he shrouded himself in a phantom spell and headed for Hagrid's hut.

When they arrived at the hut, the three little ones were already gathered around the table.

John leaned in, but no one in the room noticed his arrival.

Only Yaya raised his head and sniffed in the air.

Click.

A deep crack appeared in the dragon egg lying on the table, and something kept moving.

The click-clack

Hagrid was agitated like a child, and the four of them held their breath as they moved their chairs closer to the table.

Finally, under the watchful eye of everyone, the fire dragon Noble successfully came out of his shell.

He wasn't very good-looking, at least far from what John had imagined.

But that's not a problem, after all, I'm just hungry for its blood.

The prickly wings are combined with a black and thin body, and the nostrils in the middle of the long nose are white.

He still has horn bumps on his head and orange eyes bulging outward.

Noble sneezed, and flames flew out of its nose.

Hagrid directly transformed into a male mother, and picked up Noble to a compliment.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Although Hagrid praised it, Noble was very angry and bit Hagrid's finger directly.

With those sharp teeth, John felt that at least a little flesh would have to be lost for another person.

"It's good, it's a pity John didn't see it."

Harry and Ron, two boys, were ready to move, and they thought it would be cool to be able to raise a dragon.

Hermione was even more curious about the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon's growth rate.

John felt that he could now lift his invisibility, and just a moment before he was about to do so, he noticed someone peeking outside.

Quietly stopping, John approached the window, and Malfoy's kid was sneaking around the window to watch.

Hagrid was about to answer Hermione's question when he noticed the window, his face turning pale.

When Malfoy saw that the big man had found himself, he hurriedly turned and fled.

If Hagrid wanted to chase after him, it would be too late.

Hagrid was dumbfounded, and Harry leaned over to the window and recognized the big head.

"It's over, it's Malfoy, he must be going to sue." Harry swore that Malfoy had seen the little fire dragon.

...

Malfoy, who had escaped, couldn't suppress the excited smile on his face, and muttered to himself, "Haha, Potter, you're done, I'm going to let you quit school!" ”

He was walking in the hallway, and when he passed a door, he was suddenly dragged in by a strange force.

Malfoy was so frightened that he opened his mouth to scream.

John lifted the illusion spell, covering Malfoy's mouth with one hand and silencing with the other.

"Wick? What are you doing here? ”

Leaving aside his status as a Mudblood, Slytherin still feels good about John, who has added almost two hundred points to the house.

Malfoy, though afraid that John would beat him up again, pretended to be calm.

John staged another wall knock, knocked Malfoy in the corner, and said in a kind voice, "Malfoy, I hope you can promise me one thing, don't tell the professor about today." ”

"Today's thing? You know the big fire dragon too? ”

Malfoy's eyes rolled and he found the truth.

John didn't deny it, nodded and said, "I hope you don't tell the professor, at least wait a while." ”

"Why, on what basis should I promise you?" Malfoy reverts to arrogance.

John said to himself, if you say it, my dragon's blood will be lost.

He immediately said, "Now that we have a similar score to Gryffindor, you told the professor, and the professor will deduct it along with the Slytherin score." ”

There was some truth to that, and Malfoy hadn't thought of it.

If the professor had been told, if Hagrid's stupid big man had confessed John, Slytherin's hard-won advantage would have disappeared again.

Even more uncomfortable than losing the House Cup was losing to Gryffindor.

Malfoy thought for a moment, then nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I'll wait a while, I'm not for you, but for the House Cup." ”

This attitude changed John's mind, and he smiled and reached out to shake Malfoy's hand.

"For eternal glory, I am sure you will not regret what happened today."

Malfoy shook John's hand for the second time, thinking that John had not threatened with force and seemed to be a good man.

Maybe you can be friends with John, even if it's a noble pure-blood, it's not a bad thing to have an ordinary wizard as a friend.

The two reached a consensus, but this made it a little difficult for the three little ones to sleep.

Because Malfoy, though he didn't report them, stared at them every day with a wicked smirk.

This made the three little ones scared, and they always felt that the next second would be an Auror from the Ministry of Magic coming to the castle and taking them away from the bad guys who raised fire dragons.

Hermione had told Harry that the Ministry of Magic wouldn't take them away just because they had seen the dragon, but they couldn't stop thinking about it.

After a week, they consulted with Hagrid and decided to send Noble away.

It just so happened that Ron's older brother, Charlie Weasley, was raising dragons in Romania, and he wrote to tell Charlie that he also got a reply.

...

Going to meet Quirrell again, this time John was a little nervous.

Quirrell had an extra caged bug on his desk, and he laughed as he said today's lesson.

Step into the realm of dark magic and the unforgivable spell.

If he had passed this test, John would have been thoroughly recognized as his own.

Otherwise, John would be a thorn in Voldemort's side.

This means that this is a path that cannot be chosen.

Either use the Unforgivable Curse or become Voldemort's priority, and the Imperius Curse will fall on John.

It's a persecution, a compulsion to make a choice.

Voluntarily or forced?
