The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

For the next few days, Tom and Hermione kept an eye on the changes in the dragon eggs. After Charms get out of class on Thursday morning, an owl brought Tom a note with just four words: It's coming out of its shell. Also receiving the note was Harry, who had also bumped into the dragon egg when he and Ron had gone to Hagrid's cottage to talk to him.

So Hagrid's hut was filled with a large crowd: Tom, Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Neville. After all, it is one of the top magical animals in the magic world: the broken shell of a fire dragon. This kind of thing is rare in a lifetime. As long as you know the news, you have to come and see it even if you skip class.

Fortunately, although Hagrid's hut is called a "hut", the interior area is not small at all. A room is more than ten meters long and wide, which is more than enough to accommodate five little wizards.

When they came to Hagrid's hut, the dragon egg had been transferred to the table, and Hagrid was standing on the side excitedly staring at it. There is a deep crack on the surface of the dragon egg, and there is a rattling sound inside, and it can be seen that the little fire dragon inside is very lively.

Tom and the others came just in time, because before the stool under their buttocks was hot, the cracks on the dragon eggs began to widen, and with a harsh scratching sound, the eggs cracked, and one wrinkled like a handful. The fire dragon of the black umbrella drilled out from it. It spread its wings, which were larger than its body, and spewed a few sparks from its nostrils.

The first impression the little wizards saw when they saw the little fire dragon was: so ugly! But Hagrid didn't seem to dislike it at all, and he was overjoyed. He stretched out a hand and touched the little fire dragon's head, but was bitten by the fire dragon.

Xiaolong's teeth couldn't break Hagrid's defense at all, and Hagrid even thought it was Xiaolong getting close to him.

"I've decided to call it Norbert!" Hagrid set a name for the little dragon. Norbert's answer to the name was a blaze that burned Hagrid's beard in one fell swoop. Hagrid put out the flames with two random flicks, and Hagrid's laughter echoed in the room.

"What a lively child!" Hagrid didn't mind at all. But the rest of the little wizards were stunned by the dragon's irritability: It's only just broken, it's so aggressive, if it lasts a few more days, I'm afraid that people can be used as rations, right?

"Hagrid, how fast did the Norwegian Ridgeback grow?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"It only takes a week to become three times the size after hatching!" Hagrid said very proudly.

Little wizards: …

"Hagrid... You see it's so fierce when it was born. If it grows up, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous?" Harry also realized that it was not good.

"Ha! It's not fierce, but energetic, which just proves that it's a healthy baby!"

But several people recalled the flames that were just enough to burn people, and the fangs that could cause tetanus. Everyone felt that this baby seemed to be too lively. Several people looked at each other in dismay, and had a bad premonition.

Ron, who has an older brother who specializes in raising fire dragons, has more say: "Hagrid, trust me, it will soon grow to the size of your house, and you can't hide it at that time! Azkaban!"

Hagrid was silent for a moment: the hard truth left him speechless. The magic world controls fire dragons very strictly. All fire dragons in the world can only live in nature reserves. It is a felony to sell live fire dragons in private.

The hippogriff's winged beast wounded people, and Hagrid could appeal to argue that if he was fed a fire dragon with a real hammer, the Ministry of Magic would not be beeping with you at all. If you can't send it away, it will be slaughtered on the spot.

Hagrid could only say dryly, "Then wait until it grows up..."

Harry advised: "Let it be released."

"No," said Hagrid, "it's too small and will die."

"Then let it grow up a bit before putting it on."

Hagrid was silent. He finally accepted the suggestion in his heart, biting his lip, with tears in his eyes: "I-I know I can't keep it forever, but I can't just throw it away, no."

"How about putting it in the Forbidden Forest?" Neville suggested in a low voice.

"Good idea! Why didn't I think of it!" Hagrid's eyes lit up.

Tom: ? !

I thought you were put in the forbidden forest by default! As a result, you are going to throw away a fire dragon like a puppy? Tom people are stupid: can you guys be more reliable?

In all honesty, putting it in the Forbidden Forest is not a bad choice. There are already centaurs, eight-eyed giant spiders, unicorns, and all kinds of ordinary beasts in the Forbidden Forest, and one more fire dragon should be fine. It's just that Dumbledore's blood pressure will definitely rise after he knows it.

"No! No Forbidden Forest!" Hermione stood up. "The fire dragon can fly! If one day it flew out of the Forbidden Forest, it would be the Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts! The sound of the game drew it away..."

The little wizards and Hagrid had a jiggle. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The biggest difference between the fire dragon and other magical animals is that it is very mobile. Other magical animals can give professors a reaction time. If the fire dragon rushes out of the woods, it can fly over the field in less than a minute. , turning the little wizard present into its acquaintance.

Ron reacted suddenly, "Charlie," he stood up, "my brother Charlie, he studies dragons in Romania, we can give him Noble and let Charlie take care of it - this kind of young dragon must be An extremely valuable research material, and it will be released back into the wild when it grows up. What do you think, Hagrid?"

Hagrid had no choice, but he insisted on raising himself for a month first. After making this decision, Hagrid cherished the little fire dragon even more. He got up immediately, went outside and made a bottle of chicken blood brandy for Norbert himself, then poured the drink into a bowl and fed it to little Norbert.

The book is right, the fire dragon cub really likes this. Little Norbert was attracted by this drink, so he didn't lose his temper anymore, and obediently lay on the side of the bowl and licked it one by one. Tom looked at the quiet Norbert, and felt that the dragon didn't seem to be very ugly, and it had a strange cuteness.

In the next period of time, Tom and the others took turns to help Hagrid take care of Norbert. Tom came the most diligently, and he gradually became acquainted with Norber. The result of perseverance in exchange was that Tom's Boggart Soul Ring increased. The pattern of a fire dragon appeared—of course, there were also many burn marks on his body. But what troubles him is that his transformation is the same size as Norbert's, not even Fox's. So Tom can only come to Norber every day to update his body data.
