#255 - Malfoy's goal

Harry was actually an exceptionally conflicted young wizard.

He placed great importance on Gryffindor's honor. To surpass Slytherin in the House Cup competition, he exerted himself tirelessly on the Quidditch field.

However, on the other hand, even knowing that wandering the castle at night was against the rules, he would do it without hesitation.

But previously, he had never been caught for such rule-breaking, but this time, Professor McGonagall caught him red-handed.

"Don't be discouraged. With an experience like this, it will surely be wonderful to look back on in the future."

Moon's experiences were more extensive than those of the other young wizards present. In his opinion, even the punishment of losing points was acceptable.

Moreover, this experience of getting caught making mistakes with good friends felt very interesting to Moon.

However, Harry was still very沮丧. He was even somewhat afraid of the dawn's arrival.

If the Gryffindor students discovered the changes in the hourglasses on the plaza tomorrow, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

"Stop sighing. Since it's already happened, regretting it is useless. We can only think of ways to earn points to make up for it."

Moon also patted Ron on the shoulder, comforting him.

Unlike Harry, who was so famous and drew so much attention, Ron only felt guilty for a short while before returning to his usual self.

Compared to his two mischievous twin brothers, Ron's mistake this time was only minor.

However, he wasn't very enthusiastic about earning house points.

Ron was well aware that, based on his own abilities, he could never casually receive rewards from professors like Moon and Hermione.

Moon's words of comfort, however, reminded him of his father's similar teachings.

Curiously glancing at Moon, and confirming it wasn't his father in disguise, Ron also began to comfort Harry.

"I think Moon is right. Instead of thinking about these depressing things, we should go back to sleep."

After exchanging goodnights with Hermione, Moon and the others returned to their dormitories.

However, Moon had just laid down when Cheep, carrying a letter, flew to the window outside his bed.

"Coo, coo ~" (See, I told you I could deliver letters, and it's very simple. You can totally trust me.

Hurry and see what it says. Should I write another letter to send back?)

After opening the window and letting Cheep fly back in, the little snowy owl kept chirping excitedly.

"Okay, you're the best."

Moon stroked Cheep's feathers and praised it, and the little snowy owl proudly began to eat the food Moon had prepared nearby.

---

You are absolutely right, I should send it away.

But let me stay with it for a while, it's too young, I'm really worried.

---

Looking at the unsigned letter with its hasty and messy handwriting, Moon also felt Hagrid's reluctance to part with the little dragon.

But they had already promised Dumbledore that they had to properly handle the little dragon.

Thinking of this, Moon also wrote a letter, hoping Hagrid could rest assured that he had already thought of a way to arrange for the little dragon.

Folding the letter and putting it back in the envelope, Moon looked at Cheep, who had finished eating and flown to the head of the bed.

"Please have Bumper ask the little dragon if it's willing to go to my hometown. If it agrees, please come and tell me."

Moon said a long speech, but for Cheep, remembering it wasn't difficult.

After repeating it to Moon, it took the envelope and disappeared into the night.

The next morning, when the young wizards went to the Great Hall to eat, they found that the way people looked at them was a little off.

Because of what happened last night, Gryffindor lost 100 points, dropping from first place to last.

Subsequently, the matter slowly spread, and Harry once again became the center of attention.

There was no way around it; his fame was simply too great.

"The famous Harry Potter, the hero of two Quidditch matches, actually caused the house to lose so many points."

Not only Gryffindor, but some Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students also pointed and whispered about Harry.

Because everyone didn't want to see Slytherin win the House Cup again, it was inevitable that their words would be harsh.

Compared to Harry facing such accusations, Hermione, Ron, and Neville's situations weren't as bad.

They weren't as famous as Harry. After learning the whole story, it was just that no one was willing to talk to them.

As for Moon, his situation was even better.

The older students in the Herbology Club hadn't changed their attitude towards Moon.

Especially after Moon helped Senior Bernard repair the Slug-Eating Stinging Nettle on Monday evening, the club members became even friendlier to him.

They would even stop students from speaking ill of Moon behind his back.

"Don't worry, I know you guys definitely didn't mean to. If the house points are lost, we'll just earn them back."

"That's right, I also support you. When the Little Devil's Snare Potion is brewed, I'll put your name on it too, and have Professor Sprout give you another point."

Bernard and Cedric found Moon at lunchtime, hoping he wouldn't take it to heart.

"Thank you, but don't worry, we've already started earning house points back."

During Charms class in the morning, Professor Flitwick explained a new charm.

[The Banishing Charm]

This charm can drive away some small objects or creatures from one's side, such as chasing away insects, small animals, etc.

In order to get the maximum point bonus, Moon first had Hermione demonstrate it to the professor.

The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

Because she succeeded in one go, Professor Flitwick gave Hermione two points.

Then, Moon cast the charm with both hands separately. Professor Flitwick was pleasantly surprised and gave Moon another five points.

"Alright, it seems you guys already have a way to deal with it."

After listening to Moon, Bernard and Cedric left reassured.

Harry, on the other hand, hadn't emerged from the shadow of losing points.

Especially after the Quidditch team members stopped calling him Harry and only referred to him as "Seeker."

Harry found Wood and suggested quitting the Quidditch team, but was rejected.

"Thank you, Potter, you've helped us a lot!"

The Slytherin students also often jeered on the sidelines, which made Harry very distressed.

In order to avoid these verbal harassments, Harry transformed from a lively young wizard into a good student who only knew how to bury himself in his studies.

He found that as long as he studied hard, he could forget his troubles. Ron and Neville were the same.

Of course, there were also people who hadn't given up on causing them trouble.

After being told that the little dragon was just a wooden carving transformed from a stool, Malfoy felt a surge of resentment in his heart.

Every time he saw Moon, he would whisper a sentence.

"I will definitely find that dragon, just you wait!"

Malfoy's goal was very clear, and his actions were very motivated.

But he didn't know that every time he left the castle, a little snowy owl would fly in the sky, monitoring him.

After finishing Flying class on Thursday afternoon, Moon received another letter from Hagrid.

Learning that Bumper had also persuaded the little dragon, Moon quickly left the castle while everyone was returning their flying brooms.

"I've thought it over. In order not to worry Dumbledore, let's send Norbert away."

Norbert was the name Hagrid had given the little dragon.

In just two days, the little guy had more than doubled in size.

When it sneezed, puffs of black smoke would come out of its nostrils.

In order to take care of the little dragon, Hagrid had put aside his job as a keeper of the Forbidden Forest.

The room was also a mess, with empty brandy bottles and chicken feathers strewn all over the floor.

Looking at the teary-eyed Hagrid, Moon comforted him and then looked at Bumper.

"Chirp, chirp ~" (Norbert says wherever I go, it will go!)

"Alright, it seems we have to find a way to take it back."
