I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 34
"Will you really take care of Norbert?" Hagrid's eyes were red again, he really couldn't bear this little dragon.

"Yes, Hagrid, believe me, house-elves will take care of them better than you will."

"Okay then, can I send it away a few days later, I haven't taught it to walk yet, and it can't call mother yet."

Orlando suddenly felt dizzy again.

"Hagrid, it can't be too late, otherwise, if something goes wrong, no one can afford it." Harry also felt tired, but he couldn't persuade him.

"Well, well, you're both right."

After a while, Capri appeared here with Yuri's apparition. Orlando has been wondering why the Hogwarts magic circle restricts human apparition, but not house-elf.

"Owner."

"little Master."

"Well, you guys are here, take this little dragon back, so that you can keep it alive."

"Wait." Hagrid dropped the wine bottle, ran to the back room, and then took out a bunch of things and stuffed them into Norbert's cabin
"I got some mice for him, and some brandy, enough to last him a while," said Hagrid in a dull voice. "I put his teddy bear in, too, so he won't feel lonely." There was a tearing sound from the wooden box made of strips, and Orlando felt as if the teddy bear's head had been ripped off.

"Okay, let's leave it to you, Yuri, let Capri help you, and you can take it back together."

"Okay, master."

"Okay, little master."

"Goodbye, Norbert!" Hagrid sobbed, "Mum won't forget you!"

"Go." Orlando, who couldn't stand it anymore, urged.

Yuri and Capri moved left and right, lifted the box of the wooden house, and an apparition phantom left Hogwarts.

"Orlando, do you think Norbert will miss me?"

"Probably not." Orlando said the truth.

Hagrid burst into tears immediately, his beard was wet with snot and saliva.

"Okay, okay, I think it will think about it when it grows up." Orlando said something against his will, and then quickly winked at Harry.

Several people managed to get out of Hagrid's hut. It was getting late at this time, and if they didn't rush back to the castle, they would be punished. Orlando didn't dare to neglect, and hastily quickened his pace.

Finally returned to the Gryffindor lounge before the castle closed.

"Thank you, Orlando," said Hermione.

"You're welcome, Hagrid is my friend too, so you don't have to thank him."

"Yeah, yeah." Harry chuckled.

"Okay, it's time for the final exam. Hurry up and review your homework. I have to go back and arrange for Little Norbert."

"I just said that I haven't seen you at night, and I haven't seen you reviewing your homework. So you are not at school. How did you do it?" Harry suddenly realized.

"This is a long story, so I won't go into details. You can understand that it is a portkey. I can travel between the two places through this portkey. Principal Dumbledore also knows about this."

"It's amazing." From Hermione's point of view, Orlando was completely treated like a day student, going to class during the day and going home at night.

"Yes, first-year freshmen, no, the whole school, you are the only one receiving this treatment." Harry said enviously.

"My situation is special, so I won't tell you the details. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Hermione took out her homework book and stared at it for a long time, but didn't write a word; Harry held the textbook in front of his eyes, but his eyes were not on the book, and he didn't know what to think about.

Back in the hidden hut, Yuri had already built an iron cage, and Norbert was spitting at the iron railing in dissatisfaction.

"Yuri, is it okay to lock it up like this?" Orlando couldn't help asking, looking at the cage in front of him in a temporary cave.

"Little master, don't worry, this dragon, if you want to tame it, you have to train it from a young age, so shut it up for a few days first, let it know that it is very important to be obedient."

"Listen to Yuri, Orlando, he's an old hand at this." Nicole Flamel said aside.

"Why are there dragons in the school?" Nicole Flamel asked puzzled. He began to doubt the safety of the school managed by Dumbledore more and more.

"It's a long story. There was a Forbidden Forest keeper at Hogwarts named Hagrid. He got a dragon egg and hatched it secretly. Well, it's this dragon. He turned out to be doing secret work. It’s not good, I was discovered by a student, I have some friendship with him, and I couldn’t bear his expulsion, so I took over this mess, that’s probably what happened.”

"Okay, these are small things, just leave it to Yuri. But I want to remind you that a dragon is not so easy to raise. It looks like nothing now. When it grows up, it will not only eat amazingly, but also be destructive. Amazing, which is why the Ministry of Magic doesn't let wizards keep dragons."

"Teacher, I know in my heart. When Norbert grows up and can support himself, I will release him to the forest. This is what I promised Hagrid." Orlando is not that stupid. The dragon knight looks cool, but For him, it can only be a burden, after all, he himself is a humanoid dragon.

"You just understand."

The two left the cave, leaving Yuri here to feed the little dragon.

"Teacher, is your injury better?"

"It's much better. The effect of the soul-suppressing pill is getting weaker and weaker. I want to take a few more pills, and it may be the limit." Nicole Flamel sighed.

"There is no way around this. After all, although Soul Suppressing Pill ranks seventh and a half, it is a rare high-grade middle-grade pill, but after all, it is not out of ordinary grade. If it is an elixir, I think it only needs one, and the teacher will immediately give it a try. It can cure the disease and rejuvenate the old man." Orlando said with some regret.

"I am lucky to have lost my life! I am very satisfied now that I can have it. You must know that with the soul-suppressing pill, with my magical attainments, it is not a big problem to live another 80 or [-] years." Nicole Flamel said more optimistic than him.

"Teacher, if you can use magic, it's better not to use it as much as possible." Orlando was worried, and asked again.

"Okay, okay, teacher, remember, don't use magic."

Nicole Flamel promised so, but he didn't think so in his heart. He, the greatest alchemist of his time, did not rely on magic to win his great reputation. He promised not to use magic, but I didn't promise not to use it. Other things, wait a few days, this kid is busy with the exam, and if he acts again, he will definitely make those guys look good.

"Teacher, you should rest earlier, I'm going to meditate."

"Go, go, remember to combine work and rest, and don't be greedy for merit, you know?"

"Understood, teacher."

Orlando likes the feeling of meditation more and more. After each meditation, he can feel his own growth, the growth of physical magic power, and the increase of soul force. This kind of growth does not seem to be much, but it will change into a qualitative change over time. Step by step, persevere without arrogance or rashness, one day he will be able to break through the current stage, this is the difference between having a teacher's guidance and self-exploration.

The next day, after a day's class, Harry and Hermione invited him to visit Ron together, but Orlando refused, because Dai Lisi Dewente came, and he had to go to receive him.

"David, long time no see."

"Yeah, it's been a long time. In order to mass-produce the magic-eliminating potion, I have been debugging the equipment day and night." Dai Lisi Deventer said with a smile.

"You guys talk, I have to leave first." Professor Snape, who was accompanying him, nodded his head hastily when he saw Orlando arrived.

"Professor, go slowly." Orlando bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Snape waved his hand in response.

"I came in a bit of a hurry today, Orlando, don't you mind?"

"David, I'm very happy that you can come. Don't say that you don't mind. Now, these are the books you borrowed from me, and your manuscript. I've read them all. It just so happens that you are here, so I'll return them by the way. Here you go."

"I'm not in a hurry. I...I'm here today. I want to talk to you about something. I wonder if you'll be willing?" Dai Lisi Dewent hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"Is it your personal matter, or the St. Mungo's family?"

"Family, my uncle has set up a research room, which specializes in researching the production process of quantitative potions."

"That's a good thing!"

"You don't object?"

"Is my objection valid? Your research laboratories are all open."

Dai Lisi Dewente blushed, she only recently found out about this matter, and had a big fight with her family because of this, "I'm sorry Orlando, I shouldn't have shown your research manuscript to my family, I I didn't expect them to do that."

"Don't be sad, David, if it is said that I did experiments and wrote reports at the beginning, just to get a bonus of 1000 galleons for publishing papers, which can be used to buy medicinal materials, would you believe it?"

"But this is your research result after all? They are stealing it and disrespecting scientific research work." Dai Lisi Deventer said excitedly.

"David, I am already very grateful that you have won so much for me. Really, besides, I am still a student now. One thing I want to study, and the other thing is to practice. To be honest, I really want to refine potions. My time and energy are limited, so why not let other people do this, after all, as the initiator and pioneer, I am also the ultimate beneficiary.”

"Orlando, you are a pure person, more noble than I thought." Dai Lisi Dewent stroked her hair and said solemnly.

Orlando smiled, "David, you didn't come here to praise me today, did you?"

"I don't have that much free time. I had a big fight with my family. In the end, the owner agreed to buy your patent with money. So I came here in a hurry to ask if you need Garen or something else?"

"David, you are really, I want to give you back what you just said about me. You are a pure person, more noble than I imagined, hahahaha." After speaking, Orlando himself laughed happily .

"Orlando, I didn't expect you to tease people like this when you're a kid." Dai Lisi Devonte was upset. She really felt that Orlando was unfair, so she quarreled with her family and negotiated terms.

"I'm not kidding you, David, I'm glad to have a friend like you, really, you have to trust me."

"Stop talking nonsense with you, let's talk about the conditions for buying out the patent."

"In this way, David, I will give you the equipment in the laboratory, the data of the quantitative potion refining experiment and my experimental manuscript. I only have one request, that is, all your future academic achievements must be signed. What do you think of my name?"

"Signatures should be signed. You don't need to say this, I will do it too. Let's talk about other conditions."

"Well, David, based on our friendship, you can give it to me. I only need medicinal materials. I think this should not be difficult for your medical family. Just give it to you, I believe you."

Dai Lisi Devonte looked at Orlando speechlessly, which was really heartbreaking.

"Okay, then you just wait for my good news."

Holding the experimental equipment, all the experimental data, and manuscripts, Dai Lise Dewent left Hogwarts, and Orlando was relieved. He really didn't have the time and energy to do these things.

In the evening, when I went back to the hidden hut, I talked to the teacher about this matter. The teacher looked displeased and scolded the descendants of "Mungo Pohan" for not being a thing and bullying his students.

Orlando calmed down for a long time before Nicole Flamel's anger calmed down.

The next day, before Orlando had time to attend class, Professor McGonagall stopped him and asked him to go to the principal's office.

It turned out that Dai Lisi Dewente came, and brought a middle-aged man with her. They signed a magic contract under the witness of Dumbledore. Afterwards, the visitor gave Orlando a box of medicinal materials, and took a cursory look at it. , most of which are top-quality medicinal materials that are made for a hundred years. It seems that Dai Lisi Dewente has indeed won a lot of good things for him.

After leaving the principal's office, Orlando said thankfully, "Thank you, David. Without your help, I don't think these top-quality medicinal materials would be cheaper for me."

"You deserve it, Orlando."

The middle-aged man who came with him snorted angrily when he heard this, and turned to leave.

"Don't pay attention to him, he is the most vitriolic in the family." Dai Lisi Deventer criticized without hesitation, regardless of whether the visitor had gone away.

"David, thank you very much. As a friend, I have to remind you that you should be more tactful, and it is better not to provoke a villain if you can."

"You, a little one, started to teach me a lesson. I eat more salt than you walk." Dai Lisi Dewent smiled and waved her hands indifferently.

"I'm leaving, if you have any new research results, remember to write to me."

"Ah."

With these medicinal materials, Orlando wanted to try to refine some other elixir. Although the teacher said that if you take too much elixir, your body will become resistant to it, but different elixirs should have different resistances. If you refine more, you will always lose weight. Effective.

"Little master, where did you get so many medicinal materials?"

"It was sent by St. Mungo's Hospital. Yuri found some boxes made of jade and stored them in different categories for me. Don't get wet and dirty. When I am free, I will open a furnace to make alchemy and make some other things for the teacher. the elixir."

"Okay, little master, you can rest assured." Yuri happily carried a box of medicinal materials to the storage room.

"Teacher, are you feeling better today?"

"It's much better, it's just boring." Nicole Flamel put down the bong in his hand and said absently.

"I didn't go out at home for decades, and I didn't see you bored." Orlando muttered, but he didn't expect to be heard by the teacher.

"That's because I don't have distracting thoughts in my heart. Can it be the same now? Some guys make me angry all day long, huh."

"Who has offended you?"

"Who else, except you, a student, who else can make me angry."

"I didn't cause trouble, so don't be angry." Knowing that Nicole Flamel was joking with him, Orlando didn't care, and hurriedly coaxed.
