Hogwarts lazy snake

On Friday, the day after Halloween, there was a Potions class for Slytherin and Gryffindor together.

In class, Professor Snape was as strict as ever, making the students tremble with fear. His gloomy eyes swept over every student, and his black robe fluttered slightly as he walked, as if he was ready to pick out the students' mistakes and give them severe punishment at any time.

After the Potions class, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Carlotta, Horn and others prepared to go to Hagrid's hut together.

On the way to the cottage, Harry suddenly remembered something and said, "Did you notice that Professor Snape's foot was injured and he was limping."

Everyone looked at each other with a puzzled look on their face.

Ron scratched his head and said, "Really? I didn't even notice. That's impossible."

Hermione crossed her arms and said thoughtfully, "This is very strange. How could Professor Snape be injured?"

Draco didn't believe Harry and snorted, "That's impossible. Have you forgotten that Professor Snape solved the troll with just one spell last night? How could he be injured?"

"That's right, what kind of magic is that? It's so powerful." Carlotta seemed to think of the scene last night and agreed with Draco.

After hearing what Draco said and thinking back to what happened last night, Harry began to doubt whether what he saw was real.

Horn thought to himself that this matter should be related to the troll last night, but he did not say it out loud. He just watched others discuss it quietly.

When they arrived at Hagrid's hut, a warm atmosphere hit them. Hagrid greeted them warmly and asked them to sit around the fireplace.

However, the moment they sat down, Harry's eyes were attracted by something in the fireplace. It was an egg, a huge egg, lying quietly in the ashes of the fireplace, as if emitting a hot breath.

Hagrid wanted to cover the egg with his body, but it was too late. He heard the cracking sound from the eggshell, and Hagrid didn't care about that. He put on his gloves and took the egg off the fire.

Harry asked curiously, "What kind of egg is this and why is it so black? Are you going to bake it, Hagrid?"

Hagrid had forgotten that he had just concealed the existence of the dragon egg. A mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he said, "This is a dragon egg, children. I exchanged it from a mysterious merchant in the Leaky Cauldron."

The eyes of Harry, Hermione and the other people sitting there lit up instantly when they heard the word "dragon egg". They couldn't wait to know more about the dragon egg.

Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and then she suddenly realized: "No wonder, I saw you borrowed so many books about dragons in the library."

"It seems that I was too careless. I was discovered by you, Hermione." When Hagrid heard Hermione say this, he knew that he had been discovered. It seemed that he was not careful enough.

Then, Hagrid seemed to remember something, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. He looked at Harry and the others and said, "Children, do you know how I got this dragon egg? I exchanged it for a question from a mysterious businessman."

Everyone looked at Hagrid curiously, waiting for him to continue.

Hagrid cleared his throat and said, "The question is how to tame a three-headed dog. Hey, that's not a problem for me. I once had a three-headed dog named Fluffy."

At this point, Hagrid showed a proud expression on his face, as if he was recalling a beautiful past. His eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his hands waved unconsciously. "That Fluffy is so well behaved. As long as it likes to listen to music, it will fall asleep when it hears music."

His words were filled with pride and excitement, as if he had accomplished a great feat.

Hearing this, Harry and Ron looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Harry couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Maomao?"

As soon as Hagrid finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said. His face changed instantly, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened into an "O" shape. He quickly reached out to cover his mouth, as if he wanted to take back what he had just said.

Everyone looked at Hagrid's reaction and became even more curious.

Draco frowned and said, "Hagrid, what's wrong with you? Where is Fluffy?"

Hagrid looked at them nervously and hesitantly said, "I... I can't tell. It's a secret."

Hermione was also curious about Hagrid's reaction, and said curiously: "Hagrid, are you hiding something from us? If Momo is in school, it might be dangerous."

There was a trace of panic in Hagrid's eyes, and he lowered his head, not daring to look them in the eye.

Carlotta also said worriedly: "Hagrid, we are your friends, we just want to help you. If you have any difficulties, be sure to tell us."

Horn looked at Hagrid quietly, knowing a lot of the hidden truth in his heart. He noticed Hagrid's embarrassment and did not force him to say more.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to stop Harry and the others, Hagrid spoke out.

Horn wondered if he should give Hagrid some treatment.

Hagrid was silent for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you. Maomao is indeed somewhere in the school, but I can't say where exactly. This is for everyone's safety." Everyone looked at each other.

However, as Hagrid continued to talk, a little head pushed out of the eggshell.

Then, a tiny dragon head poked its head out, and without paying any attention to the little ones and Hagrid sitting there, it lowered its head and began to eat the eggshell. It quickly finished the shell, which was bigger than itself, and there was no visible change in its stomach.

Horn looked at the baby dragon on the table that looked like a wrinkled black umbrella, and wondered, "Can this be called a dragon?"

Ron's eyes widened and he shouted, "It's a Norwegian Ridgeback!"

Harry and Hermione were also stunned by the sight before them. They had never seen such magical creatures.

Hagrid looked at their surprised expressions and said with a smile: "Yes, it's a Norwegian Ridgeback. Norbert, he's cute, isn't he?"

As Hagrid spoke, he stroked the dragon on the table. The Norwegian Ridgeback, which had just eaten its fill, burped at Hagrid's provocation, and a small stream of fire spurted out of its mouth.

"Nobert?" Ron was very confused.

"Yeah, that's the name I just gave him. Isn't it nice?" Hagrid used his huge palm to extinguish the flames spewed out by the young dragon who had just been named Norbert.

Carlotta spoke, her eyes sparkling. "You know what? The Norwegian Ridgeback is a very powerful dragon. They are ferocious by nature, but they are also very cute when they are young."

"They like high-temperature environments and have a high demand for food. Also, their scales are very hard and can resist many magical attacks."

Carlotta suddenly stopped talking here, and then said to Hagrid with a smile: "But, Hagrid, this baby dragon should be a female."
