Harry Potter: Glory Bows to Me

Pava stopped talking and took out his wand from his dirty canvas pocket, pointing it at the cliff beside them.

With a whoosh, a flash of fire shot out from the tip of his wand and shot towards somewhere on the cliff.

Soon they saw a torch being lit on the cliff.

Pava then cast spells on the torches hidden in the darkness one by one, lighting them up.

As the torches on the cliff were lit by Pava, the surrounding environment gradually became brighter from pitch black.

In the dim light, the figure of a huge monster slowly emerged.

More and more torches were lit, and the surroundings became brighter and brighter. They gradually saw the huge creature about thirty or forty meters in front of them - it was Norma, who was curled up in a ball and sleeping soundly.

In the light of the fire, they gradually saw Norma's current appearance.

Norma has huge bat-like wings covered with spikes. When it sleeps, it uses its wings to cover most of its black body. It has horns on its elongated head and a long, big nose that snores.

It kept spewing out light green steam from its white nostrils, and green mucus dripped from the corners of its mouth, forming a long trail on the ground.

The green slime just spread to the ground under Harry's feet.

It was just that Amanta had cast a cleansing spell on Harry, so the area around him was now clean.

However, they were still stirring a few meters in front of Harry, emitting strange bubbles.

Harry took a few steps back with lingering fear, away from Norma's drool.

Amanta looked up at Norma, who was curled up like a kitten...

Now it seems that Norma's huge body is probably the size of more than one house, maybe two - or three?

In short, Amanta couldn't tell clearly, but if it stood up, it would probably be at least two or three stories high.

While Norma was still asleep, Amanta patted Draco's shoulder and reminded him, "Did you bring your camera? We agreed to take some photos of Norma for Hagrid."

"Yes, of course...of course I remember."

Draco was awakened from his daze by her reminder.

He quickly rummaged through the family crest ring and soon pulled out a small black rectangular object.

Draco held up the black rectangle and pointed it at the sleeping Norma, pressing a raised silver button on it hard. The camera kept making clicking sounds and a puff of purple smoke came out.

"You can't take any good photos from this angle, Pava, can I change places?" Draco asked.

Pava said, "Norma hasn't woken up yet, so I think it's probably okay, but I think you should be careful."

"of course."

Draco looked as if he could hardly contain his excitement.

He walked around to the side of Norma, took pictures from several different angles, and took many photos, and was very satisfied with it.

"Great - Norma is getting more and more beautiful!"

"In addition to the ones for Hagrid, I'm going to take a few more and put them in mine and Harry's dorm."

Draco slapped more and more vigorously, but Norma was still sleeping soundly, with no sign of waking up, which made Draco completely free of the fear he had just felt on the road.

He was getting closer and closer to Norma. Several times he walked to a distance of only several meters from Norma, admiring its beauty from close range, and then took out his camera to take some close-up photos of it.

"Master Malfoy, I suggest you stand further away. Norma may wake up at any moment."

Pava reminded casually.

Draco waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't worry, Norma is sleeping soundly and there is no sign of waking up. Look, she is still snoring."

"Even the smoke from snoring looks so cute."

Draco couldn't help but praise.

He gradually ignored Pava's warnings, moving around Norma, getting closer and closer.

"That's it. Here are a few more close-ups... Let me see what Norma looks like. The little guy is so handsome, with skin as black as satin... The tail is thick, long, black and shiny..."

Draco clapped and muttered to himself quietly, causing Amanta and Harry to look at each other, each reading the other's speechless expression in the other's eyes.

"..."

Was Draco drugged by Norma?

I wonder if Lucius had foreseen this and gave Draco this name. Or maybe it’s because Draco’s name means dragon…

Draco's enthusiasm for dragons has completely surpassed Quidditch.

Draco's current behavior was like that of a possessed person, which made her and Harry a little worried about him.

Seeing him trying to reach out and touch her several times, Amanta couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for him.

Fortunately, although Pava seemed to be not doing his job properly, he always reminded him in time.

Draco withdrew his hand angrily, with a look of regret on his face.

Amanta almost regretted reminding him to take a photo.

Seeing Draco getting closer and closer to Norma, Amanta couldn't help but remind him again: "Draco...you are standing too close, be careful, what if Norma wakes up suddenly?"

Draco was still enjoying taking photos of Norma.

"Don't worry, Amanta, I've already taken a lot of pictures."

"We've been lighting torches here for so long, and Norma hasn't woken up yet."

"She was sleeping so soundly, she couldn't be in danger."

Draco continued to press the shutter button for Norma without looking up.

Amanta could only stare at Norma helplessly. Fortunately, after all this ordeal, Norma still kept her eyes tightly closed.

But the good times didn't last long. After a few minutes, Norma's snoring became quieter and quieter, until... it suddenly stopped snoring.

Amanta immediately had a bad feeling.

She quickly looked at Norma's face.

Norma's black eyelids opened a crack, revealing huge orange-red pupils, and it was observing them from the crack.

Apparently she wasn't the only one to notice Norma had woken up.

Harry pointed at Norma and whispered, "Draco... stop filming! Come back quickly, Norma, it's opening its eyes!"

While Harry was talking, Norma had slowly opened her eyelids completely.

It first turned one eye to look at Amanta, Harry and Pava, and then stared at Draco behind it with its other bright orange eye without blinking.

Draco was still immersed in photographing Norma's tail when he heard Harry's shout.

"What……"

His face changed, and his first reaction was to stuff the camera into the family emblem ring.

Then, Draco looked up, his face pale as he stared at the orange-red eyeball that was half a meter long and staring at him motionlessly.

"Pava...what are you still doing standing there?"

"I've reminded you many times not to go there." Pava looked at the pale Draco and said, "If Norma is in a good mood, you can look at it and step back step by step."

"So...what's Norma's condition now?" Draco shouted at Pava.

"I think it might not be very happy to be photographed."

Pava said slowly as he looked at Norma, whose head was bent and the spikes on her wings exploded.

Draco's face turned pale.

"Help me! Aren't you a dragon tamer?"

Pava spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless.

"Yes, but dragon trainers usually work as a team... after all, one wizard certainly can't subdue a dragon, let alone a Norwegian Ridgeback."

"What should I do? Merlin's curly hair..."

"Or, try to do what I just said," Pava said, "look into its eyes, step back one step at a time, and you can reach out your hand, which may help calm it down."

"Is this...really okay?"

Draco looked doubtful, but he had no choice but to do as Pava said.

He stared at Norma, pointed his finger, and tried to back away slowly.

But as soon as Draco took a step back, Norma's eyes followed him. After Draco took a few more steps back, Norma slowly stood up.

Norma looked at Draco and made an impatient purr in her throat.

Draco was terrified.

"Oh my god, how come she's growing so fast? She's almost as big as my house..."

Although Draco's words were a bit exaggerated.

But after he said this, Amanta realized.

Maybe because Norma curled up when she was sleeping, she made some mistakes in her visual estimation of Norma's height.

Now it seemed that after Norma stood up, she was at least three or four stories tall.

Draco was now completely shrouded in the shadow of its huge body. Amanta could vaguely see that under Norma, Draco's face was as white as paper.

"Pava! Think of what to do! Help Draco, aren't you a dragon tamer?" Harry shouted.

"Okay... I'll try then."

Pava scratched his hair and took a few steps forward.

"Norma, stand back." Pava raised his arm and pointed his five fingers at it. "Good girl, look at me."

Hearing Pava's voice, Norma moved her eyes away from Draco and turned her huge head to look at Pava.

But after seeing Pava, it seemed even more unhappy, flapping its two huge, wrinkled, bat-like wings frantically, stirring up a gust of wind. It made a gurgling, hoarse roar from its throat, and a few sparks spewed out of its white nostrils.

"It looks... not very happy." Amanta commented objectively.

However, since Norma stood up, a huge sound of metal collision was heard from the ground.

The sound was almost louder than Norma's snoring, causing their eardrums to ache slightly.

Amanta looked towards the source of the sound and discovered that there were several extremely thick iron chains around the mountain wall, almost as thick as the giant's arms. These chains extended from the mountain wall and were connected to two huge anklets, which were locked on Norma's ankles as thick as elephants.

Harry also saw the huge chains.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to these chains."

"Yes...but I think these chains can only hold it here." Amanta glanced at the chains and said.

Harry seemed to suddenly remember something when Amanta reminded him.

His face turned pale and he stammered, "What if... you mean... what if it spews fire?"

"Yes, it breathes fire."

Amanta nodded.

Pava took a few steps back and retreated to their side: "If it breathes fire, then there is only——"

Pava was halfway through his words when they saw Norma slowly opening her mouth towards them.

"Run!!!"

Pava shouted.

Then, without waiting for Amanta and Harry to react, he started running back the way he came at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and cast an acceleration spell on his legs.

He ran so fast that only a shadow was left.

Amanta and Harry looked at each other, and Amanta saw a dark red glow flowing out of Norma's dark throat from the corner of her eye.

"Run!" Amanta shouted immediately, and pulled Harry, who was standing there in a daze.

Harry finally reacted when she pulled him, and turned around and ran away with her for his life.

They rushed back the way they came at probably the fastest speed in their lives.

After all, no one wants to be burned to ashes by the flames of a Norwegian Ridgeback for no apparent reason.

As they ran away, a column of fire spurted out of Norma's throat and sprayed towards them.

Amanta and Harry followed Pava desperately.

She felt a burning sensation on her back, and a large amount of sparks bounced across the ground, making the ground a fiery orange-yellow color. A few sparks almost burned their robes.

"Okay, you can stop now. Norma can't spray fire that far."

Pava gasped.

They ran a long distance, panting, before stopping.

Amanta looked back in Norma's direction.

Norma was lazily scratching his ears with his wings at this time. The flamethrower that just put their lives on the line was more like a stretch and a yawn for Norma when he woke up.

She saw with lingering fear that fortunately they reacted in time, because the land they had just stood on, as well as the route they had run, had been burned into a charred residue.

"Oh my god, what is this thing..."

Harry stepped hard on the ground, causing it to creak.

With a very bad look on his face, he reached out his hand from the ground and picked up a few white bone-like things.

"Lumos." Amanta pointed her wand at the ground and said.

Only then did they realize that they were standing on a pile of tiny white bones.

"..."Amanta and Harry both looked unhappy.

"Those are the chicken bones that Norma ate," Pava kindly reminded. "They are not something strange."

"…Where's Draco?"

Amanta suddenly remembered the question, her heart pounding, and she looked towards Norma.

The situation was critical just now, and she almost subconsciously followed Pava and didn't have time to take care of Draco.

"..."

Draco wouldn't have been burned to ashes in Pava's flame jet...

No, definitely not.

Merlin bless you, Draco will be fine.
