Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 49 The Birth of Norbert and John the Dragon Whisperer

It was impossible for Hagrid to keep a dragon in school. Once exposed, he would be arrested and sent to Azkaban.

If the dragon hurt other students in the school, Hermione felt that Hagrid would be imprisoned in Azkaban for eternity by then.

Naturally, Hermione didn't want Hagrid to be imprisoned in Azkaban. She had read related books and knew what a terrifying place it was.

Especially those dementors who act as jailers, wherever they pass, they will be sucked out of happiness, reminding you of the most terrible things, and the "mouth" under his hood will suck people's souls, known as For "Dementor's Kiss".

If there is no happiness, wouldn't it be like living in hell every day!

But now, no matter how much she persuaded, Hagrid, who only had dragon eggs on his mind, obviously wouldn't listen.

And Harry and Ron were obviously unreliable, because they were having a heated discussion with Hagrid about when the eggs would hatch.

So Hermione turned her gaze to John, and when she saw John drinking tea calmly, she suddenly realized that John didn't seem to be surprised by the dragon egg at all, and even knew what kind of dragon egg it was.

This means that the other party knew about the Dragon Egg earlier than they did.

Maybe the current incubation environment was achieved through the cooperation of John and Hagrid. They just wanted to hatch this dragon egg.

Thinking of this, Hermione leaned closer to John and asked in a low voice: "John, you won't be crazy with them too? Hagrid can't raise this dragon in Hogwarts!"

"Why not? This is a rare opportunity to get close to 5x-level magical creatures." John put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Hermione

Hearing John's words, Hermione said with a worried expression, "But... if Hagrid's raising a dragon is discovered..."

"I know what you mean, don't worry, isn't Ron's brother a professional dragon breeder? Please ask Ron to write to him and let him pick up the dragon. Now at least let Hagrid hatch the dragon." Come out, and you can see how much he likes dragons."

Hermione opened her mouth, but finally said nothing. She could only sigh helplessly, and moved to Harry and the others to look curiously at the dragon egg in front of the fireplace.

After Harry and the others knew that Hagrid raised dragons, Harry and the others never came again, except that John came to Hagrid's hut every day to check the situation of the dragon eggs.

Because they're either studying hard for their exams, or they're practicing Quidditch, and they're also worried: if anyone finds Hagrid in his hut
What will happen to him if he is raised illegally?

Time passed day by day in everyone's busy life.

In the auditorium, Harry and the others gathered for breakfast. The morning class was herbal medicine, so they all had gloves on hand.

"I wonder what it's like to live in peace and tranquility." Ron sighed and took a bite of the sausage.

Night after night, they struggled to complete a lot of homework assigned by the teacher, and Hermione had already started to make a study plan for Harry and Ron. Just seeing Hermione's list of tables was driving them crazy .

Hermione gave Ron a blank look, and said directly: "You still think you've worked hard, and the review plan I made for you and Harry is already a shortened version!"

Harry shrank his neck. Fortunately, he was a step too late and didn't express his agreement, otherwise he would definitely be lectured by Hermione.

Just then he noticed John walking towards them.

"It's almost time, come to Hagrid's cabin after class!"

After speaking, John left directly and walked towards Hufflepuff's long table.

And Harry and the others naturally knew the meaning of John's words. Thinking that the fire dragon was about to hatch, Ron didn't even have the mind to go to herbal medicine class, and wanted to go to Hagrid's cabin now.

Hermione firmly disagreed with Ron's impulsive idea.

"Hermione, how many times in a lifetime can we see Charmander emerge from its shell?"

"We have to go to class, or we'll get into trouble! If someone finds out what Hagrid did, he'll be in worse luck than us..." Hermione lowered her voice

"Stop it." Harry warned softly.

Only then did everyone follow Harry's line of sight, and saw Malfoy just a few steps away from them, stopping to listen to them.

Ron gave Malfoy a hard look, and the other party showed that disgusting smile, so Harry couldn't help but wonder how much Malfoy had listened to their conversation just now.

When the bell rang in the castle, Harry and the three of them threw down the small shovel and hurried out of the greenhouse towards Hagrid's hut.

When they arrived and knocked on the door of the hut, Hagrid greeted them with a flushed face.

"Come out soon." Hagrid sideways ushered them into the cabin.

The egg lay on the table, and there was already a deep crack in it, and something was moving in it, making a very funny clicking sound.

At the moment, John is sitting on a chair, with a pair of dragon eyes staring at the crack on the dragon egg.

Seeing this, Harry and the others couldn't help holding their breath, and tiptoedly moved the chair closer to the table, and were careful not to make any noise when they sat down.

Not long after they sat down, they heard a harsh scratching sound, and the egg cracked.

A small lizard-like head squeezed out of the crack, its sharp claws constantly scraping the surrounding egg shells, and soon the whole little dragon crawled out of the egg.

The newborn little dragon was waddling on the table with curiosity about the world.

It's not really pretty, it looks like a crumpled black umbrella, its prickly wings look extra big compared to its thin black body
The nose is big and long, and the nostrils are white. When sneezing, you can still see a few sparks sprayed from the nose.

It is only the size of a one-month-old kitten, with horny bumps on its head, and orange-red eyes protruding outwards. It looks very awkward and not good-looking at all.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" murmured Hagrid.

He stretched out a hand and touched the little dragon's head. Seeing this, the little dragon showed its pointed long teeth, and opened its mouth to bite Hagrid's finger.

At this moment, everyone heard John suddenly speak, and let out a low and terrifying roar, as if... a dragon roaring.

The little dragon seemed startled when it heard John's roar, then obediently closed its mouth, and even stretched out its tongue to lick the place where its teeth touched just now.

"Oh my God!!! John, you...you can speak Draconic!" Hagrid looked at John excitedly and in surprise, "It's like Merlin! You are a natural Draconic! Yes! I should have thought of it! You But it has the eyes of a dragon!"

Harry and the others were also shocked by such a thing, and they all stared at John with wide eyes.

But John ignored them at the moment, he was looking at the little dragon on the table.

John let out the roar just now again, but this time it was different from just now. Everyone felt that the current John had really turned into a red dragon covering the sky at that moment.

The reason was that Long Wei was mixed into the roar just now, so they saw the little dragon on the table lying on the ground obediently like a dog, showing his soft belly to John.

This little dragon has completely surrendered to John.

Hagrid clutched his heart, as if he was taken aback by Xiaolong's reaction.

John stretched out his hand and touched Charmander's abdomen. It seemed that because of the newborn, the scales on the abdomen were still a little soft, especially the scales where the other party's flame release organs were located, with a little warmth.

In the end, John put the little dragon into Hagrid's hand. It seemed that because of John's presence, the little dragon didn't dare to attack Hagrid, so he could only lick his fingers obediently again.

And this kind of reaction made Hagrid suddenly burst into maternal instinct: "My God, look, it knows its mother!"

"Hagrid!" Hermione asked, looking at the little dragon that was fidgeting in Hagrid's hand and checking the surrounding environment, "How fast does the Norwegian Ridgeback grow?"

Hagrid was looking at the little dragon lovingly, while preparing the chicken blood whiskey to be fed later, he paused slightly when he heard Hermione's question.

"I don't know..." Hagrid muttered.

Ron said excitedly at this time: "I know, Charlie told me that it will triple in size in about a week, and it will be as big as this house in three weeks."

"I decided to call it Norbert." Hagrid completely took on the role of mother, looking at the little dragon who was eating with eyes full of maternal love.

Ron and Harry were also looking at the little dragon who was drinking chicken blood whiskey at the moment
Hermione really had no choice but to ask John for help, only to find that John was no longer in the house.

Where is John at this time?
John stood under a crooked-neck tree and looked up. At his feet, ten shadow wolves squatted obediently on the ground and looked up.

"Student Malfoy, can you explain why you appeared outside the window of Hagrid's room just now?"

Malfoy sat on the branch of the tree, looking palely at John below and the black wolf at his feet.

Recently, Harry and his little follower have been running to the library, seeming to be investigating something, which aroused his curiosity, so he went to the library secretly that day.

It turned out that the dirty giant was talking to Scarhead and the others, because it was unreal from a distance, but because of his sensitivity to the words that make up his name, he still recognized the word "dragon".

Paying close attention, he soon overheard what John and Harry said in the morning, and guessed in his mind that the guard of the Forbidden Forest might indeed bring a dragon.

So he sneaked into Hagrid's hut after class, saw the little dragon eating through the window, and thought of an idea in his heart to threaten Harry and the others.

It's a pity that Malfoy never expected that when he turned around, he saw ten black wolves standing behind him, staring at him with blood-red eyes.

Immediately, he was frightened out of his wits, and Sa Yazi ran to the castle. Unfortunately, how could a man outrun wolves, so he was forced into a tree by these black wolves.

And when John appeared and these black wolves squatted obediently at his feet, he understood that he couldn't use it to threaten Harry and the others about the fire dragon.

"John... I warn you... If you dare to do something to me, I will tell my father, my father is the director of Hogwarts, and I will let him expel you!"

John smiled. Such a threat might be effective for others, but it was a joke to him. It was impossible for Dumbledore to let him drop out of school.

"why are you laughing……"

Malfoy felt bad when he saw the smile on John's face, and as expected the next second he saw John pull out his wand.

"Fuchsia"

The magic hit Malfoy, and in an instant he flew up from the tree branch under the magic effect, directly suspended upside down and floated slowly in front of John.

"After 5 minutes, the magic will be automatically released. I hope you will think about what to say and what not to say during this period."

John knelt down and patted Malfoy's pale face, then he stood up, and all the shadow wolves at his feet turned into black mist and returned to the Shadow Pool, ignoring Malfoy's shouts and left here.
