Harry felt the tip of his nose slippery, and the little guy who had just hatched was rubbing his big nose against his face, as if he was very affectionate to him.
This Norwegian Ridgeback looks like a wrinkled black umbrella. Its black body is still very thin, but it has a pair of large spiny wings, and the dragon horns on its head have not yet developed. At present, it is just two round drum kits.
At this moment, it was staring at Harry's face with a pair of orange long eyes without blinking, as if trying to remember every detail of the person in front of it.
puff~
Xiaolong sneezed lightly, and a few sparks splashed out of his nostrils, but Harry didn't feel hot at all, instead it seemed like a warm wind was blowing towards him.
"It's beautiful...isn't it?"
Hagrid muttered to himself, and he reached out to stroke the little dragon's head, but the latter bit his finger, and at the same time began to kick his palm with all four limbs.
"Oh my God, look, it knows its mother!" Hagrid took Xiaolong's behavior as coquettish, and was very pleasantly surprised for a moment.
"Why don't I think so..." Hermione frowned subconsciously.
She felt that the little dragon's behavior was obviously rejecting Hagrid.
And the 'mother' it really recognizes should be...
"The little guy is really cute, but it's not okay to bite people casually~"
Harry resorted to the special way of stroking the cat, and with a smile, he brushed his finger over the black jade-colored ridge on the little dragon's back. The little guy immediately closed his eyes and snorted contentedly.
"Okay, gentlemen, shouldn't we discuss some practical issues now?" Hermione crossed her arms and examined the little dragon in Harry's hand, "Who can tell me how fast the Norwegian Ridgeback can grow?" ..."
"Wait a minute!" Hagrid stopped suddenly, and at the same time quickly looked out the window, "Someone is peeking through the crack in the curtain!!"
"Don't go, it's Malfoy." Harry grabbed Hagrid who wanted to catch up, "He's been stalking him for several days, it's useless if you catch up."
In fact, Harry wanted to remind Malfoy that it was best not to bring a wand when he came out to watch in the middle of the night, because the sound of magic power on it was too obvious, and Harry would see through it in minutes.
So, it really wasn't that Harry wanted to persecute him, it was that he didn't have a B number and was always thinking about dancing in front of Harry.
Ordinarily after what happened to Dobby, Malfoy had already been beaten up by his father, but this brat was still trying to deal with Harry, so how could Harry be blamed for playing tricks?
If this doesn't give Malfoy a chance to 'get the stolen goods', wouldn't it be a waste of his hard work for so many days~
"Harry, if you have any plans, just say so."
Seeing Harry so calm, Hermione knew that he might have planned everything long ago.
"Hagrid, do you trust me?"
Harry didn't respond immediately, but kept looking seriously into Hagrid's eyes.
"Harry, what are you asking?" Hagrid complained dissatisfiedly, "You are the son of James and Lily, and I brought them back from Godric's Hollow myself, so what about our relationship? And you also helped me name Noble... Oh, this is the name I just named Xiaolong, anyway...Of course I will believe you!!"
"Thank you for your trust, Hagrid." Harry nodded solemnly, "Then let's talk about Norbert, I think you should be very clear that within a month, it will look like your house big!"
"Of course I know that..."
"In addition, the Norwegian Ridgeback cub will awaken the fire talent faster than its peers, which means... it may burn this place at any time!"
"Hmm..." After hearing Harry's words, Hagrid was extremely depressed.
He knew that what Harry said was the truth, and he also knew that he didn't have the objective conditions to raise a dragon, but now that his dream was in front of him, Hagrid looked at the young Norbert, really...
"I just know that you have always wanted to raise a dragon, so I hatched it for you, and I have no objection to you taking care of it for a while." Harry looked at Hagrid seriously, "But you must also know that you This hut is not suitable for it to be a dragon's nest!"
"I, I know..."
After a long silence, Hagrid nodded disappointedly.
Even though he likes the madness that Norbert likes, Harry's warning and only rationality still remind him... this dragon is destined to not grow long!
"So, we have roughly two ways to deal with Norbert. One is to release him into the wild. Ron's brother, Charlie Weasley, is currently studying dragons in Romania. We can write to him and ask him to take Norbert into the wild." Go, I believe he will be very interested."
Having said that, Harry paused for a moment, and sighed softly: "Just in this way, we may never see it again."
"Noble...never see you again? No...not good, I don't want this, I really don't want this at all..."
He just got a little dragon, and was told to send it away forever before he warmed it up. At this moment, Hagrid even had tears from the corners of his eyes because of sadness.
Seeing Hagrid like this, both Harry and Hermione felt very uncomfortable.
Especially Harry, he was as unwilling to accept this kind of treatment as Hagrid.
He fed Noble little by little with his magic power day and night, and since the shell was broken, the little guy has been leaning on his hand like a little milk cat, rubbing and rubbing, who can be cruel to send it away? ?
Thinking of this, a flash of determination quietly flashed in Harry's eyes.
"Hagrid... If you really can't accept it, then you can only go the second way!"
At this moment, Harry's tone of voice became a little crazy!
"This little dragon, Norbert...we raise it ourselves!!"
(ps It is absolutely impossible to send away, after all, it was hatched by myself, brackets laugh~)
Chapter 81 'Illegal gangs' assembled like this
There had been silence in the cabin since Harry suggested the so-called 'second way'.
Hermione opened her mouth wide in shock, and Hagrid stared in astonishment. Both of them lost their ability to speak for a while.
Only Norbert, who was leaning on Harry's palm and half asleep, let out a small whisper from time to time.
Harry actually said he wanted to raise his own dragon? !
For Hermione, this decision was no less shocking than when she knew Voldemort had returned!
If she hadn't received the greeting card at the previous Christmas, she would have wondered if this was the third bomb of Harry's quitting challenge!
"Harry, you... can you stop joking? I know you want to help me, but it's too unrealistic for us to raise dragons by ourselves..."
Seeing that Harry would say such a thing to help him, Hagrid was very grateful in his heart, but even if he wanted to raise a dragon and thought he would go crazy, he still thought Harry's proposal was a fantasy!
"Hermione, Hagrid, listen to me...I'm definitely not crazy!"
At this moment, Harry's voice was trembling with excitement!
"In my opinion, raising a fire dragon is actually no different from raising other magical animals, and what is needed is nothing more than the three conditions of method, food and venue!"
"If we want to know how to properly breed fire dragons, we can go to the library to look up information, we can write to Charlie for advice, we can make insinuations about Professor Kettleburn, and we can even contact Scamander for help!"
"Hagrid can take care of the food for the little dragons. You are the guard of the hunting grounds, and you are also an assistant in the Protection of Magical Beasts class. There are definitely many opportunities to go out. You should be able to get the wine and blood food needed for raising dragons easily! "
"The last thing is the site, Noble grows very fast, there is really no way to hide him here. But until we find the most suitable habitat for him, it is perfectly possible to temporarily house him in the room of request! Just be careful, you will be happy." No one will find out!!"
Hermione and Hagrid were shocked again, because Harry's plan sounded crazy, but it was very feasible!
Especially Hermione, she never expected that Harry would actually plan to use the Room of Requirement to hide the dragon!
And although Hagrid didn't know about the Room of Requirement, he knew that there was something wrong with this plan just by looking at the expressions of Harry and Hermione!
"Hagrid...you know, I hate Norbert as much as you do, that's why I asked before, do you believe me?!"
Harry stared at Hagrid almost intently, and even the veins on his neck were bulging: "I've already told you all about the plan to raise the dragon, and you should be very clear about the consequences of this exposure. So... Can you guarantee that you will keep your mouth shut? Can you guarantee that even when chatting with people... No, even under any circumstances, even if Principal Dumbledore asks, you will never reveal any information related to Norbert ?! Tell me, can you do this?!!"
After repeated questioning, Harry finally forced Hagrid to the point of decision.
To be honest, the many restrictions that Harry just mentioned are actually all nonsense!
If they want to raise a fire dragon inside Hogwarts, there is only one trouble they really need to face, and that is Dumbledore!
It doesn't even need to publicly express support, as long as Lao Deng acquiesces, then this matter can be done.
But if he insisted against it, it would be useless for Harry to hide Norbert in the Room of Requirement! !
But even so, he still wants to use this method to join Dumbledore's army!
And what Harry relies on is his own particularity!
Let's try it out. In Lao Deng's heart, I am the carefully chosen 'savior' and a forbidden fire dragon...
In the end which is more important!
"I..." Hagrid gritted his teeth subconsciously, and even broke several beards, "I can!!"
He almost yelled out with all his strength.
"I can swear to Merlin that I will not reveal any news about Norbert! Whether it is small talk, drunkenness, or talking in sleep, even to...Dumbledore, I will absolutely, absolutely not reveal a word! !"
"Then let's do it!!"
Snapped! !
Harry gave Hagrid a high five, confirming that he and he have formally formed an 'illegal gang' for private dragon raising!
"Hey, you two can't forget about me!" Hermione plugged it in suddenly, and slapped a golden key in Hagrid's hand, "Although I think you must be crazy, I don't want to stay out of it. This key The key to the vault was given to me by Harry, and I know it's a bit generous, but... that's all I can offer right now."
"Hermione? You... you would agree?!"
Harry stared blankly at the girl in front of him, he couldn't believe that Hermione would choose to support him so easily.
He originally thought that he would need to spend a lot of words to show her affection and reason.
Perhaps influenced by Scamander, Harry has always been very interested in magical animals, and since his ability to listen to the sound of magic has continued to increase, his interest has become more intense.
Every night when Norbert was hatched, Harry continued to release his magic power while quietly listening to Norbert's call. His affection for this little guy was no less than that of Hagrid!
And he also has a feeling that if he continues to be with Norber, maybe one day in the future, he will be able to fully understand the other party's meaning and respond positively!
At that time, his ability to listen to the voice of magic power may also show its true colors.
That's why he gave Hagrid two choices, and he didn't mind Hagrid revealing the matter to Dumbledore... He just hoped that he could use Hagrid's choice to make himself firm!
Now that Harry found out that Hermione also chose to support him unconditionally, he was really happy.
"Of course I don't want to agree, but... you will definitely not listen to me!"
Hermione smiled playfully and gave the exact same reason Harry gave when talking about Voldemort.
It's been a long time since I've seen that light in Harry's eyes.
When a person encounters something he likes, his eyes will radiate brilliance.
This is what Harry once said to her, and it was a little tease when she couldn't put it down when she couldn't put down the Hogwarts acceptance letter. Of course, Harry's original words were... like two bright lamp beads~
But that didn't stop Hermione from understanding the meaning.
That light once existed in Harry's eyes, but after accompanying him to school, Hermione almost never saw it again.
Today, she finally found out rarely that Harry found something that he was really interested in at Hogwarts.
Thinking of all that Harry had paid for himself, and the most important greeting card, Hermione wanted to help him realize his wish no matter what.
"Hermione... thank you!" Harry lightly held Hermione's hand, full of gratitude and joy.
If it is lucky to have someone who is willing to accompany you through difficulties and face powerful enemies together, then what is it that this person can tolerate your mistakes and even go crazy with you?
The answer is... Sansheng is lucky!
"Woooo! Harry, Hermione, you are so kind! We don't have to be separated from Norbert, I'm so happy!!"
Just as the two of Hahe clasped their hands and looked at each other and smiled, Hagrid, who was always full of emotion, suddenly gave a bear hug, pressing the two of them tightly together.
"Ugh...Hagrid, we're suffocating!"*2
Soon, a breathless complaint came from Hagrid's arms at the same time.
"Wow?"
The newborn little Norbert looked at this scene with his head tilted, and then suddenly flapped his wings with all his strength, staggered down from the table, and hung himself eagerly on Harry...
Chapter 82 The Forbidden Forest Must Be Traveled
Since the last secret meeting, the 'HHH Illegal Dragon Raising Group' composed of Harry, Hermione and Hagrid has been formally established.
Hahaha~
Norbert stayed in the hut for a week, and after Hagrid got over his wild dragon addiction, Harry took him to the Room of Requirement.
The follow-up domestication work will be mainly undertaken by Harry, because the gang of three discovered during this week that Norbert seems to only listen to Harry.
Maybe it's because Harry provided it with a huge amount of magic power. In short, Norbert has an unusual dependence on Harry, and only when he is present, this little guy who is getting more and more irritable is willing to calm down .
