The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

In the next week, John, Harry and others would run to Hagrid's hut whenever they had something to do.

The difference is that John came to Hagrid's hut to check the status of the Norwegian Ridgeback, while Harry and others came just to watch the fun.

After all, the temptation of the fire dragon to the little wizard is too great.

Hagrid is really good at raising magical animals.

Because in just one week, the Norwegian Ridgeback has grown to three times its original length.

Seeing this, John no longer hesitated, put on the dragon skin gloves, trapped it with the limiter he had prepared, then put a mold on the dragon's teeth and started to extract the venom.

Throughout this process, the Norwegian Ridgeback was struggling and wailing desperately, looking extremely miserable.

Of course, this is more of a fear caused by being unable to move.

None of the actions John performed would cause substantial harm to the Norwegian Ridgeback.

But Hagrid couldn't stand it anymore.

Listening to the wail of the Norwegian Ridgeback, Hagrid was so anxious that he couldn't help but say:

"John! Stop it, John! Don't hurt Norbert anymore!"

"Hurt? How can you tell that I'm hurting it?"

John continued what he was doing and said without raising his head, "Under normal circumstances, Norwegian Ridgebacks would keep playing with their companions or parents. This kind of fighting is so intense that they would bite their companions. body and inject venom into it, even breathing fire.

And through this behavior, the little Norwegian Ridgeback will be exercised.

They can master hunting skills, and their venom sacs can develop through continuous production of venom.

Is your Norwegian Ridgeback very aggressive, often biting or even attacking you? "

Hagrid subconsciously wanted to shake his head when he heard this, but looking at Harry and others beside him, he could only sneer and say:

"Hehehe...it's...okay."

John shook his head speechlessly.

In just one week, Hagrid's hut was filled with empty brandy bottles and chicken feathers, and all the furniture was chewed into a mess.

What's more serious is that Hagrid's two big hands have been chewed and full of teeth marks.

This is Hagrid.

If it were any other ordinary wizard who had been chewed to this point by the poisonous Norwegian Ridgeback, the only option would be amputation of both hands.

"I will help you take out all the venom directly from it. This will not only help its development, but its aggressiveness will also be much weakened. I think this will greatly reduce the difficulty of raising it."

John went on to explain.

"Oh! So that's it!" Hagrid scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Thank you so much, John. Please forgive me for misunderstanding you earlier."

John waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then continued to take the poison.

Five minutes later, a tube of transparent venom was held in John's hand.

That's 2 fluid ounces of venom.

In Diagon Alley, 1 fluid ounce of Norwegian Ridgeback venom costs 50 galleons.

Of course, that's the price of venom for an adult dragon.

The venom taken from the dragonet is not that toxic, so its value will be greatly reduced.

But no matter what, this tube of venom can be sold for at least 25 Galleons.

Considering that as long as there is enough food, the dragon can produce a new round of venom every few days on average, so this will be a huge benefit.

Nodding with satisfaction, John stuffed the venom into his magic suitcase.

Norbert, who was freed from his restraints, flew into Michelle's arms, buried his head in Michelle's creaking nest, and shivered.

Seeing this, everyone didn't know what to say.

Hagrid was even more sad.

You must know that he devoted all his love to this little dragon.

It turns out that the person closest to this Norwegian Ridgeback is Michelle.

Looking at Hagrid's pitiful appearance, John sighed:

"Hagrid, there is another thing you must consider in advance."

Hagrid turned to look, and John continued, "You have raised this Norwegian Ridgeback very well. According to this growth rate, in two weeks, it will become as big as your house! This You can't hide a creature of this size, so what are you going to do when the time comes?"

Hermione stepped forward with a worried look on her face and said:

"Yes, Hagrid, you have to send it away quickly! Raising a fire dragon privately is a serious violation of law!"

Hagrid was a little indifferent at first, but after hearing the words 'serious' and 'illegal', he shuddered hard.

He knows how terrifying that hellish place in Azkaban is!

Hagrid bit his lip and said:

"I...I know I can't keep it forever, but I can't just throw it away, no!"

"This is easy to fix, Ron!"

John shouted.

At this time, Ron was gently poking the Norwegian Ridgeback in Michelle's arms, trying to get it to bite his right hand.

This way, he will have an excuse not to do his homework for the next week.

When he heard John's call, he pulled his hand back in panic.

John ignored his little move and said directly:

"I remember that you seem to have a brother who studies fire dragons in Romania, right? We might as well give this Norwegian Ridgeback to him and let him continue to raise it in the fire dragon sanctuary in Romania."

"You're right! Charlie! We can ask Charlie for help!" Ron's eyes lit up and he said, "How about it, Hagrid?"

Hearing this, Hagrid was a little reluctant to give up.

But in the end, he finally agreed that they should send an owl to ask Charlie first.

In the next week, John continued to go to Hagrid's hut every few days to collect venom.

On Thursday afternoon, as soon as John entered the door, he saw Harry waving a piece of parchment and saying excitedly:

"They agreed, John, that Ron's brother could take in Norbert! He would ask friends to come over to take him in, but considering that they couldn't be found out that they were illegally transporting dragons, they wanted us to take Norbert to the top at midnight on Saturday On the tower!"

As soon as these words came out, Harry and the three of them couldn't help but smile.

Hagrid and Michelle wept secretly - they had developed a deep relationship with Noble after spending so long together.

As for John, he frowned deeply.

He remembered that in the original book, during the scene of transporting the fire dragon, something happened to Harry and others.

Although Draco is no longer involved, the danger of doing so still exists.

After all, Norbert was already very tall at this time.

Such a big thing can't even fit in his magical suitcase, and it's even harder to smuggle it to the top of the castle tower.

Moreover, the request made by Charlie is too outrageous no matter how you look at it!

John said categorically:

"If you reply to him and say you want a dragon, then go to the Forbidden Forest to receive it."

As soon as these words came out, Harry and others were shocked.

Ron blushed even more and said:

"John, isn't this good? They are risking being discovered by the Ministry of Magic to help us!"

"Yes, he is indeed helping us." John sneered, "Then have you ever thought that by sending the dragon there, we are also helping them?"
