Hogwarts in the shadows

"Draco, you saw everything just now!" Hephis thought it would be better to ask directly.

"Look... I didn't see anything, really nothing." Draco's voice was trembling.

"No, you saw it, so what! I won't eat you."

"I'm afraid you'll... kill someone to silence them." Draco muttered softly.

"Are you crazy? Or am I crazy?" Hephis was completely speechless. What kind of train of thought was this?

"Then let me go." Draco said stiffly.

"Draco, did you just see the little dragon?"

"I didn't... I saw it." Draco knew that he could not escape it, so he straightened his body and said firmly.

"How about it, do you want to continue watching?" Hephis tempted with a smile.

"Can I?" Draco hesitated.

"Of course, it's no big deal." Hephis said nonchalantly.

"But... Harry and I..."

"Draco, I remember your Christian name is Draco, right?" Hephis had heard someone mention it before.

"Ah."

"Then you must like dragons very much, right?"

"Yeah." Draco said shyly.

"That's all, let's go back and see Xiaolong."

Hephis now looked like a bad uncle who was trying to lure a three-year-old kid with a lollipop.

Draco was like a puppet, being dragged back obediently by Hephis.

At this time, everyone in the room was leaning against the window, peeking at Hephes and Draco.

When Hephis rushed out, Harry and the others wanted to follow him, but were stopped by Hermione.

Because she recognized the figure through the window at a glance, it was Draco.

Her reason was: Hepherd and Draco were both from Slytherin, and it would be better if Hepherd handled the matter.

If Harry went out, things might get worse.

Harry thought about his relationship with Draco and decided it would be better to listen to Hermione.

Not long after, Hephis and Draco returned to Hagrid's villa.

Draco was still a little hesitant, but Hephis pushed him into the house.

Harry and Draco began to stare at each other.

"Okay, stop standing there and come and see the dragon." Hephes shook his head helplessly.

Hephis turned his head and looked at Hagrid, "Hagrid, Draco also likes dragons very much. He wants to raise a dragon with us."

Hagrid rubbed his beard with some worry. Raising a dragon is no problem, but...

"Don't worry, Hagrid! Draco is very tight-lipped, he won't tell anyone." Hephis looked at Draco again, "Right! Draco"

"I won't tell anyone." Draco puffed out his chest and promised.

"But he's Sly..."

Before Ron could finish his words, Harry stepped hard on him.

"Ouch!" Ron jumped up holding his foot, grimacing in pain, which showed how powerful Harry's kick was.

Harry understood Hephis's intention as soon as Draco walked in.

Rather than forcing Draco out and becoming a bomb that could explode at any time.

It would be better to let him join in, so that everyone is an accomplice and no one will tell this to anyone.

What's more, Ron is really something. Hepherd is also a Slytherin. Isn't he afraid that the couple will beat him up together?

Ron obviously realized his slip of the tongue and laughed awkwardly.

Hephis didn't care at all. After all, he had cheated on Ron, so he could tolerate this.

"Hagrid, have you named it yet?" Hephis asked.

"I decided to name it Norbert. Look how cute it is!" Hagrid's face was full of doting.

"Yeah, it's really cute." Draco couldn't help but agree.

Everyone else looked at Draco in surprise. What kind of aesthetic was this?

Draco didn't notice, he just looked at the little dragon obsessively and didn't notice their eyes.

Hephis walked over to Norbert, pinched the skin on its back, and lifted it up.

Norbert was very panicked. What did this two-legged beast want to do? It was still a child.

"Hephis, what are you doing? Put it down!" Hermione was the first to react and spoke out to stop him.

The others were also stunned by Hephis's actions and cast puzzled looks at him.

"It's okay, Hermione." Hephis looked at Norbert's lower body carefully, and then said, "Hagrid, I don't think you can call it Norbert."

"Why?" Hagrid didn't care at all about Hephis's actions.

After all, a dragon is a creature with thick skin and flesh, even a newborn cub.

"Because it's a female." Hephis held up the little dragon for Hagrid to see.

Then he showed it off in front of everyone. It turned out that Norbert couldn't speak, otherwise he would have cursed in the street.

These perverts actually looked at its lower body, especially the two-legged creature holding it, who was the most perverted.

Hagrid was in a dilemma. Norbert definitely couldn't be used since she was a female dragon after all.

But now he couldn't think of anything, so he started to seek everyone's opinions.

Hephes is a bad namer and simply does not participate.

Harry couldn't think of anything good, so he gave up.

Ron and Draco were very active.

It’s just that the names they came up with are too unreliable, but they both think theirs are the best.

So they stopped arguing and turned into staring at each other, as if whoever blinked first would lose and give up automatically.

In the end, it was Hermione who domineeringly slapped Ron on the back of the head, ending this boring game.

As for why he didn't hit Draco, it was because he wasn't familiar with him and it was difficult to do it.

"Hagrid, why not call her Novia? It means new life." Hermione suggested.

Of course, Hefeth was the first to stand up and vote in favor.

Under Hephis's gaze, the other three little ones also gave in and chose to agree.

Hagrid happily accepted the name.

Since then, the name Norbert disappeared into the dust of history within ten minutes.

Xiaolong was officially renamed Novia.

Hagrid specially cleared out the room where he lived to raise Novia.

In the next few days, Draco ran the most frequently.

Every day after class, he would leave his two followers behind and run to Hagrid.

He also paid for two sets of dragon skin protective suits, which were the kind that consisted of a pair of gloves and an apron.

Of course, one set was exclusively for his use, and the other set he proudly gave to Harry and Ron.

And he was so attentive and patient when taking care of Novia.

Not to mention Hephis, even Harry had a changed opinion of him.

Despite the changes, the love-hate relationship between Draco and Harry is still there.

It seemed like the day would be incomplete if they didn't quarrel.

Hephis has been very happy these days. From the first day Novia was born, he cut out Novia's shadow.

He separated a piece of his shadow and imitated Novia's shadow.

Because Noviya is still young and cannot be exposed.

So it has been kept indoors these days with the curtains all closed.

Hephis has always kept the shadow of Novia in his body.

His physical fitness is slowly improving every day.

As for what to do if Novia comes into contact with sunlight.

The shadow of Hephaestus is there.

His shadow will inform him immediately, and he just needs to let Novia's shadow go.
