#256 - Fire dragon treatment (two in one)

Arranging for the dragon to leave safely wasn't a simple matter.

It had to be done after midnight on Sunday, leaving the castle and heading to the hut in the Forbidden Forest.

Ignoring the dangers of the Forbidden Forest, Mun had just been punished by Professor McGonagall two days prior for leaving the castle at night.

Of course, to properly handle the little dragon's departure, another nighttime trip to the hut in the Forbidden Forest was worth it.

The prerequisite was to make good use of the Invisibility Cloak and not alarm anyone.

Besides that, the most important point was that Mun might have to expose his secret at Hogwarts.

Regardless of whether the headmaster or the professors had guessed it before, this time, taking the little dragon away counted as Mun voluntarily revealing his ability to travel between worlds in front of Hagrid.

"Hagrid, the way I'm taking the little dragon away might be a bit special, I hope you can keep it a secret."

Hagrid, who was originally sadly playing with the little dragon, looked over in surprise when he heard Mun's words.

"Special? Keep it a secret?"

"Of course, the little dragon might only feel dizzy for a moment when it leaves with me, and then it will have a truly free place."

The first time Mun took Bouncy to the Vena Islands, Bouncy also felt uncomfortable for a while.

But later, it gradually adapted to the life there and was very happy.

Although the little dragon is much bigger than Bouncy, it shouldn't be too different.

"Alright, I believe you, Norbert also needs a place that won't restrain him, to grow up happily."

Hagrid's trust in Mun wasn't unfounded.

Whether it was Bouncy, Ouch, Fang, Fluffy, or the giant squid in the Black Lake, Mun could always get along well with them.

And these animals also trusted Mun very much.

Hagrid was very clear that in choosing friends, animals were more trustworthy than humans.

Looking back at the little dragon that was holding Bouncy on its head, Hagrid nodded heavily.

"Thank you for your trust, but there are some things I must explain in advance."

The little dragon can only leave on Sunday night.

Don't be surprised when strange things happen then.

This matter cannot be told to anyone, including Dumbledore.

Mun said a lot, and although Hagrid didn't understand, he agreed to everything in the end.

"Don't worry, just like you fixed my wand for me, you promised to keep it a secret for me, and I will keep my mouth shut about this matter."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Mun was actually still a little worried about whether Hagrid could really keep it a secret.

After all, he had leaked the secret more than once when it came to guarding the Philosopher's Stone.

Fortunately, this time, no one should keep asking him, and Mun didn't plan to reveal more details about leaving.

So, even if Hagrid knew that this matter was very strange, he couldn't say what the real method was.

After discussing the details, Mun also started teasing the little dragon.

Less than a week after birth, this little guy's physique has already surpassed Fang's.

Unlike Bouncy, who really liked the little dragon, the cowardly Fang had been huddled in the corner of the wooden house, not daring to take a step forward.

Mun summoned a piece of chicken that Hagrid had placed high up with his wand and placed it in front of the little dragon.

As if seeing food floating in the air for the first time, the little dragon opened its big eyes and curiously circled the chicken several times.

After oohing hard and finding that there was no problem, it was relieved to open its mouth and bite down.

Just as the little dragon finished eating, Ouch flapped its wings and flew into the wooden house.

"Coo coo ~" (That little blond two-legged beast left the castle and is coming this way.

He also brought two chubby little two-legged beasts, it's so fun to watch them walk.)

In Ouch's language system, all unfamiliar humans are called two-legged beasts.

This time, in order to complete the task Mun had given it, Ouch had specially noted Malfoy's most prominent feature.

So, in its words, Malfoy became the little blond two-legged beast.

As for the two chubby little two-legged beasts, they were naturally Goyle and Crabbe.

"Do you want to scare them? These three little wizards come almost every day."

Hagrid was very irritable, these past two days he had to carefully hide Norbert in order to avoid Malfoy's prying eyes.

"I think it's possible, but have you thought about how to scare them?"

Mun also agreed very much, he didn't want the little dragon to be discovered now either.

"How about letting Fang go out and bark at them? I'll just say they stepped into the territory where Fang peed, this reason should be able to fool them, right?"

Hearing Hagrid's rough plan, Mun shook his head helplessly.

Even Fang, who had been quietly huddled beside him, showed an unbelievable look after hearing Hagrid's words.

"Woof?" (Me? Coward! Go stop wizards?)

Hearing Fang's question, Mun smiled and didn't translate it for Hagrid.

"Forget it, I'll ask someone else."

"Okay, just don't let them see Norbert."

Hagrid said as he poured out a whole glass of brandy, he needed the little dragon to have a good sleep.

Then he picked up Mun's Invisibility Cloak and spread it on the little dragon's body.

After Mun saw that Hagrid was ready, he left the wooden house and took a shortcut to the Black Lake.

He stirred the Black Lake a few times with the Elder Wand, and a huge black shadow quickly swam over.

After listening to Mun's explanation, the giant squid raised three claws.

"Deal, I'll bring you three baskets of fresh conch next time."

Hearing Mun's agreement, the giant squid instantly adjusted the color of its body.

The pink skin gradually turned pitch black, this was its disguise to scare off enemies.

"Remember, just scare them, don't hurt them."

Hearing Mun's words, the giant squid made an ok gesture with two claws.

"Believe me, as long as we can find evidence that they are secretly raising a dragon this time, Gryffindor will completely lose the qualification to compete for the House Cup."

Because they hadn't found the little dragon the past two days, Goyle and Crabbe had become suspicious of Malfoy's words.

But Malfoy had always insisted that he hadn't seen wrongly, and the two had no choice but to accompany him to the hut in the Forbidden Forest one last time.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary at all, even if they can earn points in class, they can't make up for the difference of 100 points."

Crabbe ate the cake he took from the hall, completely unconcerned about Malfoy's words.

"That's right, we might as well enjoy the food with this time."

"Can't you two tell what's important? Think about it, making Gryffindor lose points, making the famous Harry Potter look bad, and that poor ghost who's always bullying us, he might be expelled, don't you want revenge?"

Malfoy walked forward while constantly turning his head to persuade Goyle and Crabbe.

Thump ~

"What is it? Get out of the way!"

Feeling that he had suddenly bumped into a soft body, Malfoy reached out to push the other party away.

Goyle and Crabbe, who were behind him, were already stunned in place.

"Mo...Monster!"

Forgetting the cake in his hand and Malfoy behind him, upon seeing a huge black shadow blocking the way, Goyle and Crabbe turned around and ran towards the castle.

Hearing the two lackeys behind him running further and further away, Malfoy swallowed a mouthful of saliva in fright.

He slowly retracted his hand from the giant squid's tentacle, his eyes also slowly turning towards the black shadow behind him.

"Glurp ~"

However, before he could see the full appearance of the giant squid, Malfoy fainted from fright.

Goyle and Crabbe's shouts ultimately attracted the attention of a professor.

Snape, who was originally secretly observing Quirrell, rushed out of the castle after hearing his students' cries.

"What happened . . ."

Snape was just about to ask Goyle what had happened, when he saw a moving mountain in the distance.

"Hmm! How did you provoke it? Where's Draco!"

Seeing Goyle and Crabbe pointing behind them while panting, Snape flung off his cloak and rushed out of the school grounds like a black shadow.

Seeing Malfoy lying on the side of the road, Snape stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, he just fainted from fright, Aguamenti."

The cold water splashed on his face, and Malfoy instantly woke up.

"Cough cough, who is it? I warn you, don't mess around! I am the sole heir of the Malfoy family, if you dare touch me, I will have my father find a way to expel you!"

Malfoy waved his wand around haphazardly, completely unaware of the head of his house behind him.

"Alright, put away your wand."

Hearing Snape's sinister voice, Malfoy felt as if he had heard the music of the heavens.

"Professor, there was a monst . . . . . . monster here just now, it . . . . . . it wanted to attack me."

"Attack? Draco, you think too highly of yourself. If it wanted to harm you, no one could stop it, including me."

Hearing Snape's words, Malfoy was stunned for a moment.

"Professor, then it . . . it . . ."

"It probably just wanted to scare you. Also, don't casually flaunt your family background in the future, it will only make you seem cowardly and incompetent."

After Snape finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the castle, he still had important things to complete.

Malfoy glanced back at the empty grass with lingering fear, and quickly followed.

"But . . . but Professor, my father said that family background is also part of my strength."

Hearing Malfoy's words, Snape took a deep breath, then turned around to look at his student.

"This sentence depends on when you use it. For example, in that extremely dangerous situation just now, you can only rely on yourself, and the wand in your hand."

As a student that he favored and had a good personal relationship with, Snape had always had a good impression of Malfoy.

But the most fearful thing between people is comparison.

Thinking of that little lion who didn't have a prominent family background, relying on diligence far exceeding others and unbelievable magical strength, he accomplished things that surprised him time and time again.

Looking at his most promising student, he fainted on the side of the road after just one glance at the giant squid.

This made Snape very helpless, and somewhat powerless.

Fortunately, Malfoy was able to listen to Snape's advice.

Although he didn't respond to Snape's words, the thoughts in his heart were quietly changing.

After leading Malfoy back to school, Snape lost track of the target he was just monitoring.

"Damn it, I don't know where he's hiding again."

"Professor, are you looking for Professor Quirrell?"

Seeing Snape standing in the square looking around, Moon immediately walked over after returning to the castle.

"Professor, it's him, I just went out to follow him to find . . . : :"

Seeing Moon appear, Malfoy excitedly pointed at him.

"Alright, Draco, you should remember what I just said, now go back and rest!"

Before Malfoy could finish speaking, Snape issued an unquestionable command.

", Yes, Professor."

Hearing Snape's gloomy voice, Malfoy didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the Slytherin common room.

"What, you encountered him?"

"Yes, on the grass outside the castle, the opposite direction of the Black Lake."

After Moon and the giant squid agreed on the details, in order not to be discovered, he took a detour to return to the castle.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Quirrell who was also sneaking around.

Fortunately, he discovered the other party in advance and hid in the grass without being exposed.

"The opposite direction of the Black Lake? Did you lure it ashore?"

"Professor, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Snape stared at Moon intently, and after discovering that the other party was just smiling at him, he dismissed his suspicions.

"You shouldn't have this ability, tell me, where did Quirrell go?"

"Oh, judging from the direction he left, he should have gone to the Forbidden Forest. He hasn't left for too long, you should be able to catch up."

"The Forbidden Forest again, what exactly is there?"

Snape muttered in a low voice, then turned to look at Moon.

"Alright, it's already dark, you should go back to the castle."

After Snape finished speaking, he immediately rushed towards the outside of the castle.

Moon silently prayed for Quirrell in his heart, and then slowly walked towards the Great Hall.

Since discussing the details with Hagrid, the matter of the baby dragon can be considered to have a preliminary solution.

Because he had already promised Moon that he would keep the transfer method a secret, even though Harry and Hermione were very curious, they didn't get the specific details from Hagrid.

"Don't worry, Hagrid has been the gamekeeper for so many years, he will definitely take good care of Norbert."

On Friday morning, Ron ate breakfast while discussing the dragon issue with Harry in a low voice.

"I know, but why can't we hand it over to Charlie? He's a professional at this in Romania."

Harry originally wanted to suggest that Hagrid hand the dragon over to Charlie, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

"Maybe it's too far away, and you also know that people outside the school are not allowed to enter Hogwarts casually."

"What you said is right, but what I'm most worried about is that Hagrid is reluctant to let Norbert leave, and secretly puts the baby dragon in the Forbidden Forest to raise."

While Harry and Ron were still discussing, Hermione sipped pumpkin porridge in small sips, and kept guessing Hagrid's method in her heart.

Looking at Moon next to her, who didn't seem worried at all, and was chatting enthusiastically with Ai Ai.

Hermione leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

"Do you know something?"

"What, oh, we should trust Hagrid, shouldn't we?"

As Moon spoke, he picked up a small piece of sausage and handed it to Ai Ai's mouth, then continued to ask about the interesting things about the baby dragon.

Seeing that Moon didn't seem worried at all, Hermione lowered her head and continued to eat her delicious breakfast, but no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

"Moon, the professor asked you to go find her when you have time, it seems she has something to tell you."

After finishing breakfast, just as Moon was about to go to Potions class, Cedric walked over.

"Did the professor say what it was about?"

"No, she just asked me to notify you."
