"There's no need for that." Aaron said flatly, "How long can you hide the identity of that dragon?
With the growth rate of dragons, its size will be several times its current size in less than two weeks, and after a month, your room may not be able to accommodate it.
At that time, can you manage it like you do now?
Even if you could, it would probably set your log house on fire if it sneezed accidentally, and then Hogwarts is well known, and the keeper of the forest farm has a dragon. "
"I also know that I can't keep it forever." Hagrid said dejectedly, "But I'm not willing to throw it away like this, I can't do that."
"This is your business, not mine.
It is completely superfluous to use the Loyalty Curse on a secret that is destined to be impossible to keep. "
"Abe!" Harry looked at Aaron and said, "It's also a magical animal!
It looked like this when school started, and it's still like this now, almost unchanged.
But when Abe fought, he grew a lot, but now he has changed back to the original. "
"What do you want to say?"
However, Hagrid wanted to understand something, and a gleam of hope appeared in his heart, and he begged: "You must have a way to let magical animals control the size, can you help Norbert, that is, this Norwegian Ridgeback, also arrange it."
"Hehe! Your imagination is really rich.
Abe is a magical animal. I remember that there seem to be creatures in magical animals that can control their own size!
Although there are not many, there are indeed one or two mentioned in the classics in the restricted area. To give a fairly simple example, werewolves will transform on the night of the full moon.
Also, I don't understand where you got the face to ask me to do such a thing, don't forget you just kidnapped my pet! "
"Sorry, I was in a hurry.
Let's talk about the confidentiality agreement you mentioned first!What are you going to do about it? "
"It's very simple!" Aaron took out a piece of parchment and a pen directly from his pocket, and then began to write, "I found out about the identity of Abe's magical beast in February 1992, but with all my reputation, I promise not to would reveal its identity in any way."
Hagrid picked up the parchment and looked at it carefully, his expression became strange.
This piece of paper is just ordinary paper, and the content of the agreement couldn't be simpler, but it's a bit too casual.
"That's it? Are you sure?"
"Of course, you just need to sign."
"Aaron, isn't this a little too hasty?" Draco frowned, "Even if you don't use magic props, you should at least write a more detailed agreement!
What if they made Abbe's identity public? "
"If they really want to do this, you can't stop them with any spell." Aaron said meaningfully, "There is no shortage of wizards in the magic world who are willing to use their lives to violate the contract.
Besides, I made a unilateral agreement. They knew Abe's identity, but we didn't know the existence of Noble at all. The discovery of Fire Dragon in the future has nothing to do with us.
In other words, as long as we don't tell about Hagrid raising a dragon, they won't tear themselves apart from us.
More importantly, it is impossible for Abe to hide it for a lifetime. It can be exposed today, but it may not be exposed tomorrow. The magic world will know its existence sooner or later.
No matter how detailed the agreement is, it cannot restrain the entire magic world. "
"So that's the case!" Draco nodded, "Then I'll sign it first!"
"You don't need to." Aaron waved his hand, and looked at Hagrid meaningfully, "Your mastermind, come and sign first!"
Hagrid picked up the pen with a guilty conscience, signed his name on the paper, and then consciously passed the agreement to Harry.
Harry and Ron also knew that they were in the wrong, and after hesitating for a moment, they signed one by one.
Finally, it was Hermione. She lowered her head, her pupils were slightly red, and she sat motionless on the chair.
"Granger, it's your turn." Draco said flatly.
"I, I see." Hermione sighed, wiped the corners of her eyes, tremblingly picked up a pen and wrote down the crooked name.
The whole process lasted for more than half a minute, during which she didn't dare to lift her head, for fear of seeing Aaron's disappointed eyes.
After signing, she felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost something.
"Okay everyone, see you tomorrow." Aaron put away the parchment blankly, picked up Abe and walked out the door, "I hope this is the only and last time.
You guys, do it yourself! "
Draco followed behind Aaron, but within a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, and turned around proudly to look at the other people in the cabin, "It's a wonderful night, although the moon is not too round, but My mood is inexplicably good.”
"Malfoy!" Ron clenched his fists, "You don't have to be weird there."
"Is there? Where am I getting weird?
I also asked Weasley to point it out for me, thank you very much! "
"Okay, it's pointless to tease them, let's go!"
"Wait a minute!" Draco sneered, and then looked at Hermione, "Don't worry, I won't call you a Mudblood again, but I won't lose to you in the final exam."
Hermione rarely refuted, but nodded weakly.
"Draco, pay attention to your demeanor as a pure-blood wizard." Aaron said speechlessly, and didn't want to stay here any longer, so he opened the door and walked out.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Draco hurriedly followed, not forgetting to close the door for Hagrid.
After the two left, the atmosphere in the cabin became a little heavy.
Harry, Ron, and Hagrid all looked at Hermione tacitly. Apart from losing face, they had nothing to lose tonight, but Hermione was different. She probably felt very uncomfortable!
"Hermione!" Harry wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.
"Cry if you want to cry! Don't hold back." Hagrid sighed melancholy, "Here are all our own people, no one will laugh at you."
Hermione raised her head slightly, the red eye sockets began to burst, and crystal tears fell like broken beads.
"Sorry." Ron said with self-blame, "It's all my fault. I forced you into this plan."
"It's not entirely your fault." Harry patted him on the shoulder, "I'm also half responsible."
"Didn't you say it was safe?" Hermione whimpered, "It's fine now, I won't have the face to see him in the future, are you happy?"
Harry and Ron couldn't lift their heads in embarrassment. Before they acted, they had sworn promises, but whoever wanted to be caught, just wanted to get Hermione out, and there were no conditions.
"It's all Malfoy's fault." Ron pursed his lips, "If he hadn't been the informer, everything would have gone well."
"Neither," Hagrid interjected, "Abe and Norbert got into a fight before Aaron and Malfoy kicked the door, and part of his clothes were charred.
Even if Malfoy didn't come, tomorrow would be the same. "
"You heard it." Hermione said regretfully, "I shouldn't have helped you, he obviously believed me so much.
Fantastic Beasts are all entrusted to me for safekeeping, but I... woo..."
"Don't, don't cry, Hermione.
We were wrong, there will be no next time, really. "Harry said incoherently, he has never coaxed a girl when he grows up.
Ron was also distraught and didn't know what to do.
He did have experience coaxing his own sister, but the situation is completely different now, it's not like saying a few nice words to a few candies and then getting a good night's sleep to turn the page.
They really played big this time, no matter how heartless he was, he knew he was sorry for Hermione, but he didn't know how to coax her well.
Hagrid didn't feel very well either. Although he didn't participate in the action, he was the cause of the incident.
In Aaron's words, he was indeed a mastermind.
"Oh! Apologize!"
"Hagrid, you're confused." Ron smiled wryly. "If an apology would solve the problem, Harry and I would have already apologized."
"It's not you, it's Hermione.
Hermione hasn't apologized to Aaron from just now!
I think at least I have to admit my mistake first and express my attitude! "
"But as you saw just now, he didn't give Hermione a chance to speak at all," Harry said.
"That's better than doing nothing, just crying here?"
"Yes, that's right." Hermione wiped the tears off her face, and managed to pull herself together, "I have to catch up and apologize to him, whether he accepts it or not, even scolding me is better than saying nothing .”
"Just figure it out, let's go!
It's best not to wait until tomorrow and apologize before he returns to the dormitory. said Hagrid. "The sooner the better, the sooner the better." "
"Understood, thank you, Hagrid." Hermione thanked, quickly opened the door, and chased out.
"We're going too," said Harry, about to pull Ron away.
"Don't drag me, I won't go." Ron said stubbornly, "Draco is probably next to Aaron, if I go, I will lose my life."
"Ron, Hermione, even a girl, has the courage to apologize, if we two boys don't go, what's the difference between us and cowards?
If I were Malfoy, I would look down on you even more. "
Hearing this, Ron gritted his teeth, "If you lose face, you can lose face!"
The two made a decision without stopping, and quickly ran towards the door.
However, within a few steps of running out of the hut, the speed of the two slowed down, and their expressions became particularly unnatural.
Filch was waiting for him outside with a lantern. Mrs. Norris squatted obediently at his right foot. What's worse, besides him was Professor McGonagall who looked disappointed.
With the growth rate of dragons, its size will be several times its current size in less than two weeks, and after a month, your room may not be able to accommodate it.
At that time, can you manage it like you do now?
Even if you could, it would probably set your log house on fire if it sneezed accidentally, and then Hogwarts is well known, and the keeper of the forest farm has a dragon. "
