The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

"This is not fair!"

Just as he walked out of the auditorium, Draco shouted, "Why are students under 17 not allowed to participate? I think they are deliberately targeting John!"

"Everyone knows that John is the best and most powerful student in the entire Hogwarts!" Goyle and Crabbe also echoed, "If you ask me, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons must have heard about John. Things, so I’m scared!”

John curled his lips.

What Goyle and Crabbe said is outrageous.

He is indeed very famous in the wizarding world of Yu country.

But he didn't think that this kind of fame would be big enough for Durmstrang and Beauxbatons to deliberately target.

John explained a few words, trying to calm everyone down.

But this is of no use.

More than half of Slytherins agreed with Goyle and Crabbe.

They were filled with righteous indignation, and some even proposed to use the power of their families to go to Dumbledore to protest.

John thought they were totally out of their minds.

Because when leaving the auditorium, John had already seen Snape yelling at Dumbledore.

This must be an argument about John.

What even Snape couldn't change, how could these students do it?

And to be honest, John wasn't very interested in the Triwizard Tournament.

After all, he is not short of money now and has enough honors.

With a wave of his hand, John beckoned the Slytherins back to the common room.

But at this moment, Michelle was seen rushing directly in front of John at an astonishing speed.

"John! I want to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament!"

Seeing Michelle shouting excitedly, John frowned and said:

"Stop being ridiculous, Michelle, you're not old enough either."

"The Triwizard Tournament is so interesting! You can also compete with wizards from other magic schools!" Michelle said enthusiastically, "As for age, it doesn't matter. George and Fred said that maybe we can use age enhancement Agents to bypass restrictions.

So John, can you help me practice some? "

Hearing this, Draco and the others' eyes suddenly lit up.

Why didn't they think of it?

Although Dumbledore said there would be relevant testing mechanisms.

But in testing, there might be loopholes!

Slytherins are the best at exploiting loopholes in rules!

For a moment, the Slytherins were all eager to try.

John ignored these people, but looked at Michelle with bright eyes and said:

"Do you really want to compete?"

Michelle nodded extremely seriously.

Seeing this, John sighed and said:

"If that's the case, I'll definitely help you."

Although he is willing to participate, he will not object to Michelle's participation.

After all, the Triwizard Tournament was quite fun in his mind.

Let Michelle experience it.

When Michelle heard this, she jumped three feet high and cheered:

"Awesome! John! I knew you were the best for me!"

"Don't be so excited yet." John poured cold water on him. "That is a test set by Dumbledore himself. The possibility of passing it with age-increasing agents alone is not high."

Michelle said indifferently:

"It's okay, John, as long as I can give it a try!"

John was very satisfied with Michelle's attitude and smiled and nodded.

Michelle waved her hand and prepared to return to the Gryffindor team.

But the next moment, Alice suddenly stood up and said:

"Don't worry, Michelle. If you want to cheat that test, I might be able to help you, too."

The smile on John's face disappeared instantly and he looked at Alice coldly.

Michelle said happily:

"Really? Do you have a way?"

"You also know that I have some attainments in alchemy." Alice said with a sweet smile, "Maybe I can create some interesting things to help you."

"Great--"

Michelle cheered again.

Alice looked at John with a smile and said:

"Please don't get me wrong, Mr. Shafiq. I'm not doing this to defraud Michelle. All the help this time is free. I just help Michelle fulfill her wish and repay you by the way." It’s just a favor.”

John still didn't speak, but raised his head slightly and stared at Alice with cold eyes.

He has been trying his best to keep all dark things out of Michelle's world, so that Michelle can live a carefree life.

And if someone wants to break this calm, or take advantage of Michelle.

He doesn't mind letting the other person disappear completely.

Alice is a smart person.

She obviously sensed the killing intent in John's eyes.

But she didn't show any panic, but just gave a slight salute to John and then left.

Staring at her back, the coldness in John's eyes never faded, and his whole person exuded an extremely oppressive aura.

So much so that the noisy Slytherins instantly fell silent.

"go!"

John said coldly, walking towards the stairs leading to the Slytherin dungeon.

The Slytherins all lowered their heads and followed him in silence.

……

The next morning the storm subsided, but the ceiling of the auditorium was still gloomy.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the large blue-grey clouds that shrouded Hogwarts Castle finally dissipated.

But in contrast, John's mood became worse.

Because they are going to take Care of Magical Creatures class soon.

In order to pursue Sirius last semester, John directly destroyed the Acromantula's nest deep in the Forbidden Forest.

John did not hide this from the professors and Aurors.

After hearing this, Hagrid cried and fainted.

Later, when John inquired about it, he learned that the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest actually originated from an Acromantula named Aragog raised by Hagrid.

Hagrid raised it deep in the Forbidden Forest and found it a wife.

After decades of reproduction, invasive creatures such as Acromantulas have become more and more widespread unexpectedly.

In this case, Hagrid was clearly at fault.

The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures did not arrest Hagrid for destroying the 'Hogwarts Forbidden Forest Nature Reserve', which was already a favor to Dumbledore.

As for John.

His act of killing the Acromantula was considered as "removing pests from the forest", and it was also an emergency to avoid danger. No one could blame him.

Hagrid is also a sensible person.

He just locked himself in the hut and cried all day long, blaming himself for not allowing Aragog to multiply so wantonly, and for not protecting Aragog well.

He thinks it's all his fault.

John didn't know how to comfort this little giant who especially liked ferocious and magical animals. In addition, there were too many things to deal with at the time, so the matter was delayed.

But now, John really couldn't delay it.

After taking a deep breath, John headed to the hunting ground.

John had already thought about it.

If he would rather skip class than go see Hagrid, Hagrid would definitely be even more sad.

In the end, you may even think that you have lost two important friends at once, and cry to death.

It's not impossible.

Hagrid fainted from crying several times last year.

So when the time comes to meet him, he still needs to coax Hagrid a little bit.

If you really can’t afford it, buy some more beast cubs for Hagrid and treat them as gifts.

He liked that thing anyway, and raising cubs would distract Hagrid a bit.

However, what surprised John was that when he actually arrived at Hagrid's hut, what he saw was not a crying Hagrid.

At this moment, Hagrid was happily stroking a small beast that looked like a rhinoceros cub. While stroking it, he kept talking to the students surrounding him.

It's like making an introduction.

And when he noticed that John was also here, the smile on his face instantly became brighter.

"John - come on, John!" he waved his arms and greeted cheerfully, "come and see my new poison horn!"
