if i am not me

Walking in the castle grounds, Harry flinched from the cool night air, felt him tremble, and Draco squeezed their intersecting hands.Walking through the atrium to the lawn in front of the castle, they saw the faint light emanating from Hagrid's cabin from a long distance away.Quickly approaching the stone house, Harry found that the windows of the house were tightly blocked by curtains.The two looked at each other, walked to the unusually tall wooden door, raised their hands and knocked lightly.

"Who?" It was Hagrid's voice, very cautious.

Blinking, Harry lowered his voice and said, "Is Ron there?"

Hearing Harry's voice, the door was quickly opened. Ron stretched out his hand and pulled the two people in at the door. "Boom!" The wooden door was closed tightly.

"Why are you here so late?" Ron pouted complainingly, and pulled the two of them to the fire, where Neville and Hagrid were sitting side by side. Hagrid looked serious, while Neville was shy. Smiling shyly at them. "Hagrid, this is Harry and Drake." Ron laughed and pushed the two of them to sit on the sofa opposite Hagrid, completely oblivious to Neville's embarrassment when he saw Drake sitting opposite him .

Hagrid looked at the two Slytherin friends, Ron, with great interest, and showed a simple and honest smile.Seeing this familiar expression, Harry grinned, and said to Hagrid with a smile, "Hello, Hagrid, I'm Harry Johnson." As soon as he finished speaking, Draco also raised the corners of his mouth in a very polite manner. said, "I'm Draco Malfoy."

When he heard Draco's surname, Hagrid's expression was obviously stiff, but seeing the trusting look on Ron's face, he still said in a rough voice, "Nice to meet you, I think Ron must be with you." Tell me why you are here tonight?"

Hearing this, Harry and Drake were startled, glanced at Ron tacitly, and said in unison, "No."

"Didn't say?"

Seeing the four people in the room staring at him, Ron scratched at the fiery red hair, "Uh...that..." He stammered for a long time but didn't come up with a reason-it couldn't be said that he forgot.With a dry cough, he immediately changed the subject, "Cough, don't talk about that, Hagrid, let them see the little guy first."

Obviously this is a good way to divert attention. Hagrid became excited all of a sudden, moved his body to reveal the box that was hidden behind him, and waved to the four sitting people.Carefully removing the wooden board covering the box, Harry and the others saw a small black head popping out suddenly.

"Norwegian Ridgeback!" Draco exclaimed after seeing the creatures in the box clearly—even though he was the heir of the Malfoy family, this was the first time he had seen such a living little dragon.

Seeing that Draco recognized the breed of this little guy at a glance, Hagrid knew that this kid was half an expert, and he couldn't help feeling a little more fond of him.Hagrid is the type who is easy to let go of his heart as long as he believes that someone is "one of his own", so in a short while, Harry saw that the two had already discussed enthusiastically around the Norwegian Ridgeback, and Ron was Squat with him and Neville on the left side of the box and point to the dragon.

Picking up the dinner prepared by Hagrid for the dragon and feeding it carefully, Harry rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Where's Hermione?"

Hearing that name, Ron curled his lips and remained silent, and it took a long time for Neville to say softly, "We dare not let her know." If we really told her, Hermione would Such a stern personality might go directly to Professor McGonagall, not to mention that she would have to endure her endless nagging afterwards, so they all chose to remain silent when they didn't want to be tortured by this.

it is as expected!Harry glanced at the other four people in the room, including Draco, indiscriminately. In other words, in the absence of a think tank, this group of hot-headed adults and children might make the Norwegian Ridgeback just like that. Stay here until this hut can no longer hide it...

Sighing softly, as the only one who was still awake, Harry felt it necessary to mention something.Glancing at the beaming Hagrid, Harry stared at the little dragon that was being stuffed by Ron and asked indifferently, "Ron, what's its name?"

"Norbert, Hagrid started it." Ron replied without looking back, he had already thrown himself on the dragon with all his heart.

"Oh." Replied casually, Harry suddenly leaned over to Hagrid, "It's awesome! How did you get it?"

Hagrid was chatting happily, but he didn't shy away from saying, "I won the bet."

"Bet?" All four of them looked at Norbert with incredulous expressions. Can they win a dragon in a bet?

Nodding fiercely, Hagrid continued to explain: "I went to Hogsmeade for a drink that night, and I met a stranger, so I made a bet with him. Hehe, and then I won. He seemed to be in a hurry to get off. Hands, it's cheap for me."

These words made Ron marvel at Hagrid's good luck. He was able to win an extremely precious dragon egg through gambling. This must have been beyond the imagination of many people.Putting his chin up and starting to be in a daze, Ron thought blithely that when he was old enough to go to Hogsmeade, he might be able to win a dragon by betting with others...

Different from Ron's reverie, Draco raised his eyebrows after hearing Hagrid's words, and changed into a thoughtful look, not knowing what he was thinking.

Looks like it just needs a little more work.

Tilting his head, Harry pretended to be puzzled and continued to ask, "Isn't the dragon egg one of the forbidden items? Why is that person running around with it?"

He raised his head proudly, and Hagrid looked at Norbert affectionately, "That's why I'm lucky, I've wanted a dragon a long time ago, if it wasn't for the strict control over this thing, I wouldn't have gotten it until now to Norbert."

"What a coincidence." At this moment, Draco said suddenly, "You want it, and he happened to bring..."

But Hagrid didn't take it seriously, he smiled and waved his hands, "No, Draco, what can he get from me..."

"Hagrid, something's wrong..." It was Neville who spoke this time, his round face was already wrinkled, and he seemed a little uneasy.After a while, he said as if he had made up his mind, "Hagrid, you must send Norbert away, or you will be in big trouble."

"Why?" Hagrid frowned sharply, reluctantly picked up Norbert, and Norbert opened his mouth and bit his finger, showing his sharp fangs.

"If Norbert is discovered, even Dumbledore can't help you." Ron, who was silent, finally spoke, and it was rare that he was right.

"But it's still so small." After saying that, Hagrid hugged Norbert tightly in his arms, as if they would fight him.Although he also understood how correct what Ron said, once he faced Norbert, he couldn't help deluding himself that everything would be fine.

"Four weeks at most, it will be as big as your log cabin." Draco glanced at Harry and said calmly, his sanity finally came back after the excitement.

Now Hagrid couldn't argue anymore, hugged Norbert tightly, and said with a choked voice, "I, I know I can't have it forever, but I can't throw it away, I can't..."

That's right... Do you want to discard this little guy who can't even fly?For this reason, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became gloomy and heavy, and no one could come up with a good way to solve this difficult problem for a while.

Looking at everyone's reactions calmly, Harry counted the time in his heart, until he felt that it was almost there, then turned to look at Ron, and said, "Charlie."

The sudden voice made the other people look inexplicable, and Ron said with a strange expression: "Hey, buddy, I'm Ron."

Taking a deep breath, Harry said angrily, "I mean your brother, Charlie. Didn't you say he was studying dragons in Romania? I think he must be interested in Norbert, Charlie is this He's an expert on the subject, and he'll take care of Norbert and let him go back to nature."

"Oh——" Ron suddenly realized that he let out a strange cry, "Why didn't I think of it? Hagrid, Charlie must be able to help."

It was all said and done, no matter how reluctant Hagrid was, he could only agree to let Ron send Charlie an owl under the persuasion of the four of them.This caused him to be very melancholy and even a little nervous for the next few days.

Harry had persuaded Ron to tell Hermione about Norbert, anyway, Harry thought she had a right to know, and there might be some windfall.Ron and Neville felt guilty for hiding it from her, so they stopped insisting when Harry said that.It is conceivable that Hermione almost fainted after learning that Hagrid raised a dragon, "God, this will get him caught in Azkaban!" she roared, but it was no longer helpful.

Due to the urgency of time, Hermione's mind began to run at high speed. For them, there was nothing more important than how to get Norbert away.After receiving Charlie's reply, Hermione began to draw up various plans to achieve their goal of sending Norbert away. After all, it would be impossible to make a dragon disappear from Hogwarts without anyone knowing it. Not a simple matter.

As the day to send Norbert away approached, Hagrid's mood became more and more depressed. On the contrary, Ron's nerves became more and more tense. Facing Norbert, who was already the size of a box, they wished that Charlie would appear immediately in front of them.

In the end, the five people finalized the implementation plan, and Ron and Neville would send Norbert to the place Charlie designated, because Hermione thought that the target would be exposed if there were too many people, and Ron, Neville and Hagrid were more familiar with each other.Of course, Harry wouldn't be foolish enough to think that was all the reason, but he didn't have to expose it, did he?Facing a four-on-one situation, Drake naturally seconded their decision after glancing at Harry.Therefore, when the five of them had no objection to this, they breathed a sigh of relief on the agreed day, and just had to wait for the night to fall.
