time at hogwarts

Coming out of the principal's office, Magos never imagined that the situation in Japan had become that serious.An investigator secretly sent by the British Ministry of Magic disappeared without a trace, and what made them feel aggrieved was that they could not let others know about this, so they had to swallow this bitter pill themselves.

Principal Dumbledore told him that he paid attention after learning from Professor Sprout that there were problems in Japan. Later, he asked the female ghost Sadako and felt that the Japanese Ministry of Magic was indeed strange.So he mentioned it to Minister of Magic Fudge. Fudge should have sent someone to check it out just to please him. He didn't take it seriously at first, and the investigator didn't find anything unusual in Japan at first. Every day's investigation was very dull. Just when he thought it was Dumbledore who was making a fuss, the investigator suddenly disappeared, and there was no response to several secret contact spells for several days. Now Fudge panicked. It was very important in this peaceful era. The life of a famous wizard is not a small problem, and it may make him step down early.

Fudge quickly contacted Principal Dumbledore. After the principal found out, he asked a friend to go and check, but nothing was found. Even the pseudonym used by the investigator did not appear on the flight at that time. Dumbledore's friend felt that Something was wrong. He did some research and found no clues about the investigators in Japan. Moreover, he felt like he was being watched, so he returned to England overnight to notify Dumbledore.

So that's why Dumbledore came to him, but he didn't know anything except meeting a female ghost, so he couldn't help much.Although he is curious about what happened in Japan, it is no longer accessible to young wizards of his level. If it hurts Chi Yu and it is too late to cry, it is better to stay away.

Recently, the professors of each course seem to feel that the semester is coming to an end, and the homework every night gives the little wizards a headache. Moreover, the three of them are not only homework, Hermione also specially made a review plan for the three of them, and they are doing it every day. While reading different books, Ron complained several times about this, but since both Harry and Magos were following it seriously, they just had to read on.

Then, one day at breakfast, Hedwig brought them a letter from Hagrid with only four words written on it: hatching soon.

Not only Ron, but Magos and Harry's eyes also lit up and they couldn't wait to see what a newly hatched dragon looked like. However, except for Ron who thought he could skip class, none of the three of them wanted to skip class at this time. .Ron had no choice but to accompany them to the herbal medicine class with a sigh, and then the four of them hurried to Hagrid's cabin after class.

"It's coming out soon." Hagrid said excitedly as he opened the door.

Then he stepped aside to let them see the dragon egg on the table, which already had a deep crack.The dragon egg is not still. It is shaking constantly, as if something is trying to come out, and there is a clicking sound like chewing ice cubes.

They all gathered around the table, holding their breath and watching closely.Just when they thought it was about the time a chicken hatched, suddenly, with a harsh scratching sound, the egg cracked open.A dark and ugly pterosaur-like creature emerged from it.

"Is this a dragon? It looks a bit ugly." Magos said, rubbing his chin.

The little dragon was swaying on the table. After listening to Magos's words, he sneezed at him, and a few sparks came out of his nose.

"And he has a bad temper," Ron added.

However, Hagrid ignored their discussion. He looked at the little dragon on the table with the eyes of a peerless beauty, and murmured to himself, "Isn't it beautiful?" He stretched out a hand and touched the little dragon. head.The little dragon bit his finger, revealing its long pointed teeth.

"Oh my god, look, it knows its mother!" Hagrid said excitedly.

"Um, Hagrid, I think it's more likely that it regards you as food." Magos said looking at the little dragon biting Hagrid's finger, Harry and the others nodded in agreement.

"Nonsense, it must know that I worked so hard to hatch it." Hagrid's skin is thick and thick, and the newborn dragonet cannot break through the defense at all.

"To be honest, I don't think you have done any hard work other than throwing it in the brazier, if the heat is included." Magos made several disappointing remarks in a row and Hagrid glared angrily.

"Okay, I'll shut up." He said, picking up a thin wooden stick to tease the little dragon. He was not as thick-skinned as Hagrid. The little dragon couldn't bite Hagrid, but looking at its fangs, biting him was not just for fun. Same.Harry and Ron each found a wooden stick to tease it.

"Hagrid," Hermione said, more interested in learning about a dragon than teasing it, "how fast does a Norwegian Ridgeback grow?"

"Well, it grows very quickly. It can grow to twice or three times its current size within a week. And compared with other types of dragonets, its fire-breathing ability can only be achieved between one and three months after birth. He will mature quickly." Hagrid seemed to know a lot about the Norwegian Ridgeback, and he could answer Hermione's questions right away.

"So fast." Magos was a little surprised after hearing this. Doesn't it say in novels that the more powerful creatures grow slower? Sure enough, the novels are all lies.

"It is indeed faster, but the growth rates of dragons are actually about the same." Hagrid's attention returned to the little dragon.

"Then what is he eating now?" Harry looked at the things in Hagrid's hut.There seems to be nothing for it to eat.

"Hey, I've been prepared." Hagrid chuckled and took a barrel from the corner.

"Is there... fish in this?" Harry looked at it and became confused, "It also eats fish?"

"Of course, the Norwegian Ridgeback eats the same as other dragons, but it has one more recipe, which is fish." As he spoke, he picked up a small fish that was only the size of his little finger and handed it to the little dragon's mouth. The little dragon did not hesitate. Swallow it in one bite.

"Are all dragons able to eat meat right from birth? No need to drink milk or anything." Magos felt that this scene was a bit unscientific. Could it be that its body tissues had fully grown after it hatched.

"Milk? Ha, that's what little animals need." Hagrid patted the little dragon's head proudly, and the little dragon took another sip.

"Okay, Hagrid, the little dragon is indeed interesting, but we should go to class now. If we don't go back, we will be late." Hermione looked at the time and said.

"Oh, no, this is the first time I've seen such a small dragon. Don't go to class later." Ron teased the dragon and didn't want to leave.

"No," Hermione and Hagrid said in unison.

"Remember to help me find a way to keep it." Hagrid warned them again as he sent them out.

"By the way Hagrid, you haven't named it yet, do you want us to help you?" Magos said suddenly with a smile.

Hagrid was stunned for a moment. He had originally wanted to name it something like Fireball, but seeing the four of them interested, he nodded and told them to spend the night

Come and help Xiaolong think of a good name.

However, the plan could not keep up with the change. Harry went to participate in Quidditch training in the evening, and Magos was also called by Snape for a new round of training. Only Ron and Hermione were free, but Hermione saw them The two of them couldn't go, so they couldn't talk about it. They stayed in the lounge to review, and Ron had to go to Hagrid alone to talk about the situation.

It was only in the evening that Magos learned what the new training was. It was actually a battle between wizards, but it was not against Snape, but an opponent chosen by Snape for him.

As always, Snape waited for him to arrive and took him out of Hogwarts. He didn't stop until he reached the plains, threw him a mask and told him to put it on.Then he went back and brought over a student wearing a mask. The two looked at each other curiously, but they didn't dare to speak because Snape was nearby.

Snape looked at the two silent students and spoke expressionlessly.

"This," pointed at Magos, "is my current student. If you can defeat him, you will be my student from now on."

After hearing Snape's words, Magos's eyes widened. Let me go, do you want to play so hard? Doesn't this mean that I am not allowed to lose? But I am only a first grader. What if someone above the third grade comes? Slap your ass.Just when he was about to shout that it was unfair, Snape's cold eyes drifted over.Magos opened his mouth and suppressed the words in his heart.

The opposite mood to Magos was the student opposite. He was actually a second-year student in Slytherin. He was suddenly stopped by Snape after class this afternoon and asked him to go to his office with his wand and wait for him that evening.When he went there at night without knowing what he was talking about, Professor Snape actually asked him to duel with a wizard. He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask anything until he saw a student who was masked like him.Now that he heard Snape's words, he still didn't understand what he meant. The professor was relying on his strength to teach him privately. That was something he never dared to think about before. He didn't expect that it would happen now. opportunity, he looked at Magos and his eyes slowly became excited.

"The duel...begins!"

As Snape's voice fell, the wizard opposite cast a spell.

"Armor for protection!" He couldn't figure out what grade his opponent was in, so he prepared to fight steadily.

Magos didn't know what his opponent was thinking, so he used his trained spell without thinking.

"There are many obstacles!"

The second-year Slytherin student couldn't help but smile when he heard Magos's spell. This spell was good at dealing with the spells that had been used when the magic power was not high, but now, that small obstacle Just changing the angle can invalidate the opponent's spell.He smiled triumphantly and raised his feet.

'Hey, why is something blocking me? 'He touched the front strangely.

'So you put the obstacle spell in front of me. Do you think you can trick me into retreating in a straight line? ’ He sneered and prepared to walk sideways to the right, but was still blocked. The same thing happened when he walked to the left.

Just when he was wondering why he was blocked from all sides, Magos had already put away his wand and looked at Snape.

Snape glanced expressionlessly at Slytherin, who had not yet figured out why he was trapped. "He is trapping you with a barrier spell. If you are just going to turn around, there is no need to compete."

Slytherin was anxious, and without thinking about anything safe, he quickly raised his wand.

"Fractured!"

"Boom." The barrier spell was broken, but before I could be happy, I heard the other party's voice reciting the spell.

"Petrify them all!" Offsetting the opponent's armor spell.

Slytherin was startled and quickly chanted a spell.

Magos looked calmly at his opponent who was in a hurry.

"All petrochemical!"

"Fainted..."

Snape looked at the immobilized student and nodded to Magos.After releasing the trapped students, he took them back to school.

The next day Ron told them that Hagrid had chosen a name for the little dragon, and it was called Norbert.

Magos felt a little pity, he had already thought of an awesome name for the little dragon, Neltharion.Unfortunately Hagrid had already taken it.

"Hagrid asked us yesterday if there was any good way to keep Norbert around. I don't know what we can do."

"According to Hagrid, Norbert will grow to be as big as his wooden house soon, and he will definitely not be able to hide it by then." Harry was also a little troubled.

"Ron, please inform your brother first to learn more about the Norwegian Ridgeback. Then there will be no way for Hagrid to keep him deep in the Forbidden Forest."

Harry and the others had also thought about what Magos said, but even Hagrid didn't know what was in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Even if Norbert was raised there, it would not be at this time.You can only raise it bigger and put it in, but if it is bigger, it will be difficult to cover it up. You can't expect a dragon to quietly nest in a wooden house and be a lady.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Norbert had grown bigger than Magos and the others. However, since they often came over to feed him food, he did not have much resistance to them. However, as he grew bigger and bigger, this The wooden house is no longer suitable for its habitation.

"Hagrid, have you ever thought about placing it on a distant mountain? At least there should be a huge cave there, otherwise it will be discovered in a few weeks." Magos looked up and looked at his mouth. Noble, who had sparks popping out from time to time, said that actually he still had something to say. If things continued like this, the cabin would probably be burned down in a few days.

"But I can't bear to part with it." Hagrid looked at Norbert pitifully.

"Then either let Charlie come and take it away, you choose one."

Hagrid finally agreed with Magos and decided to take a few days off to accompany Norbert to find a mountain in the distance as Norbert's new home.

"Do you think Hagrid is back now?" Hermione asked Magos while looking at the mountains in the distance.

"Then you have to ask Hagrid." Magos didn't expect Hagrid to be gone for a week and he still hadn't come back. He guessed that Hagrid was reluctant to leave Norbert and planned to stay with him for a few more days.

"Why did Hagrid want to raise such a dangerous magical animal? In fact, we should have persuaded him at that time." Hermione regretted a little.

"Just like you like reading books, everyone will always have their favorite thing, and that can't change."

"Then what do you like?" Hermione looked at him with bright eyes.

"Me," he said with a wicked smile.

"I like you..."
