Admiral of Hogwarts

"Oh, I've been reading a book." Hagrid said, pulling out a large book from under his pillow, "Raising Dragons for Fun and Profit, borrowed from the library. Of course, it's a bit outdated. But it’s comprehensive. I believe this book will help me figure out what to do next.”

"Let me see," Hagrid opened the book and pointed at a line of text with his carrot-thick finger. "Put the eggs in the fire, because their mother breathes on them. You see, it is written here. After it hatches, feed it a bucket of brandy and chicken blood every half hour. Look here. After distinguishing the different eggs, I got a Norwegian Ridgeback. It's very rare."

He looked very proud, but Hermione had a look of helplessness on her face. "Hagrid, don't forget you live in a wooden house," she said. But Hagrid didn't listen. He was fiddling with the fire and humming a tune happily. He didn't seem worried at all that his house might be burned to the ground.

"Hagrid's love for dragons is so great." After everyone went out, Hermione shook her head helplessly and said to Hugo and the others. "If someone found out that he was illegally keeping a dragon in his cabin, he would be in big trouble. The important thing is that this kind of thing is almost impossible to avoid, considering how fast dragons grow."

"Don't worry, Hermione, you don't need to worry too much." Hugo comforted, "Hagrid is already an old man in his sixties and is good at dealing with all kinds of magical creatures. I believe he should know how to deal with it. After all, he has enough experience to support his next move."

Obviously, Hugo's comfort was nothing more than comfort. At least for the next period of time, when Hugo and the others went to find Hagrid to make final revisions to the compiled notes, they found that he was still taking care of his precious dragon egg.

In the following days, Hugo and the others were immersed in learning. Until one day when they left the auditorium just after breakfast. Watching Harry walk in from the door, he ran a few steps to catch up with the three of them, stopped them, and then handed over a note.

The handwriting on the note was a bit messy and looked like it had been written in a hurry. There are only two lines of words on it. The first line says that it is about to hatch, and the second line says to show this note to Hugo and the others.

"When do you plan to go?" Hugo asked after reading the note and burning it to ashes on the torch on the wall next to him. "I think we should go there after lunch. After all, there are classes in the morning. If we rush over in such a hurry, we will easily attract unnecessary attention from others."

Harry got stuck as soon as he uttered the word "we". At Ron's instigation, he originally wanted to skip the morning herb class and go straight to Hagrid's hut, but when Hugo said this, he suddenly realized that he couldn't do it anyway. Hagrid shouldn't be in trouble.

"We should go there during the break between the two classes in the morning." After thinking quickly, he was torn between his eagerness to see the little dragon emerge from its shell and not wanting to bring it to Hagrid. Find a balance between going to trouble. "By the way, when are you going?"

"We'd better wait until after lunch. The 20 minutes during the morning recess are too tense, and there are certain risks." Hugo chatted with the two ladies in a low voice and then said to Harry, "The most important thing is Yes, we have already agreed with Senior Sister Zhang to discuss the Transfiguration homework assigned by Professor McGonagall during the break."

After sending Harry away, Hugo and the others finished their morning classes and had lunch as usual. Then he slowly and leisurely headed to Hagrid's cabin with Veneto and Hermione. After knocking on the door, they were greeted by Hagrid, who was glowing with excitement.

"It's out." He let them into the hut, and then Hugo and the others saw at a glance a small dragon that looked like a crumpled black umbrella and was placed in a box by Hagrid. Its spiny wings look particularly large compared to its thin, black body. It also has a long, big nose with white nostrils, horn bumps on its head, and orange-red eyes protruding outwards. It doesn't look pretty at all, and looks a little numb.

"Oh no!" After closing the door, Hagrid suddenly shouted loudly, then rushed to the edge of the box and slapped it hard. It turned out that at this time, Xiaolong blew out a flame that was probably only the size of two knuckles from his nostrils, and it ignited the tassels on the edge of a floral cloth spread on the cabinet next to the box.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid said, holding the baby dragon out of the box like a baby. Unfortunately, his action made the young dragon feel uncomfortable, so it once again sprayed a large amount of sparks from its nostrils and ignited Hagrid's beard, so Hagrid had to put out the small flames on his beard with his hands.

"This should be the fire dragon's special way of saying hello." After confirming that all the sparks on the beard were extinguished, Hagrid said to Hugo and the others, "Look, it knows its mother."

"I think this is just a simple stress reaction, just like coughing hard after you choke on drinking water." Hugo said, he felt that Hagrid should know these things, but after seeing Xiaolong Throw all that common sense out the window because one wish is fulfilled.

Obviously, Hagrid didn't take what Hugo said seriously. He tried to touch Xiaolong's head, but Xiaolong bit him on his finger. At this moment, Hermione found something from a book next to the sofa. Then he pointed to the words and said to Hagrid, "In a month at most, this dragon will grow as big as your house. So you really should think about what to do next." "

However, Hagrid ignored Hermione's words and began to hum an unpleasant lullaby to coax the little dragon in his arms. Seeing that it didn't make sense, Hugo and the others could only exchange a few simple greetings and then left.

In the next period of time, Hugo and the others reduced the frequency of going to Hagrid's hut because they were busy with review matters and sorting out those notes. But their only visit during the week revealed that something was not right about Hagrid: he had put aside his job of guarding the hunting grounds because the dragons were keeping him busy. The floor was littered with empty brandy bottles and chicken feathers.

Moreover, Hugo happened to run into Harry and Ron who came to help, and learned from them that Malfoy had probably discovered the secret before. Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Hagrid was unwilling to get rid of this trouble.

"I also know that in just a month, Norbert can become as big as my room." Hagrid said through sobs. "But I can't just throw it away, no. It's too small and will die if it leaves here."

"I think I have a way." At this time, Harry opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Veneto said before him, "My sister has a friend who owns several magical properties in the northern Ural Mountains of Russia. It’s a large manor, and it also has an xxxxx level magical creature breeding license. It shouldn’t be difficult for me to raise a dragon.”
