Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic

The five of them gathered frequently in Hagrid's cabin for the next week.

The little dragon has grown to three times its original size.

"You've got to give it away." Harry couldn't count the hundreds of times he'd said that.

Hagrid was still holding Xiaolong in one hand and holding the handkerchief in the other, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"No, it's too small, I can't, it will die."

Hagrid put aside his job of guarding the hunting grounds because the dragons kept him busy. The floor was littered with empty brandy bottles and chicken feathers.

"I decided to call it Norbert," Hagrid said, looking at the dragon with teary eyes, "it really knows me now, you see. Norbert! Norbert! Where's mother?"

Auston tried his best to hold back his smile.

"Hagrid!" Harry raised his voice. "In two weeks, Norbert will be as tall as your house. Malfoy could go to Dumbledore at any time."

Hagrid bit his lip. "I...I know I can't keep it forever, but I can't just throw it away, no!"

Auston never interrupted, he knew that Harry would figure out a way, and he was waiting for that moment.

Harry turned suddenly to Ron. "Charlie," he said.

coming! Auston's eyes widened, staring at Harry.

"You're confused too," said Ron. "I'm Ron, remember?"

Sissy and Hermione also looked at Harry, puzzled, thinking he was really confused.

"He was talking about your brother Charlie, didn't you always say he studied dragons in Romania?" Auston explained for Harry.

"Yeah!" Harry nodded in admiration. "We might as well give Norbert to him. Charlie can take care of him and put him back in the wild."

"That's great!" Ron finally understood, he turned and asked Hagrid, "How is it, Hagrid?"

Hagrid was still sobbing, wiping away tears with his handkerchief.

"But... Romania is so far away, and Norbert is so small..."

Auston walked over, shook off his robe and sat beside him, patting him on the back

"We can send an owl to ask him first," he gently advised Hagrid. "Romania is so far away, it will take three or two days for the owl to get there, and it will take a week to go there again." Norbert will grow bigger than he is now, and you can rest assured that he will let it go."

He added, "If you keep it with you, the end result is either your house is burned down by it, or when someone finds out, you will be fired and it will be beheaded."

Auston threatened Hagrid with a serious look.

Hagrid shuddered, hugged Xiaolong tightly, and nodded with difficulty.

Auston stood up and turned to Ron

"Then please, Ron, send a letter to Charlie and ask him if he can adopt Norbert."

"Yeah." Ron nodded. There was hope in the eyes of the others.

Auston bent down again, patted Hagrid on the shoulder, looked at the little dragon in his arms and said

"Hagrid, you can't go on like this. You have to keep doing the hunting ground work. Ignoring it like this will only speed up the time for others to discover Norbert."

Hagrid wiped away tears and nodded obediently.

"As for Norbert," Auston said, "we'll take turns taking care of him at noon."

He looked up at Harry and them. Several of them also nodded in agreement.

"That's good!" He stood up and started giving orders again.

"Me and Ron are in a group, Harry and Hermione are in a group, and we will take turns feeding Norbert from tomorrow."

"What about me?" Sissi jumped out and pointed at herself, dissatisfied with Auston's forgetting to assign her.

In fact, Auston is selfish, that's a fire dragon! The most dangerous guy in the dragon species. He was really worried that Sissy was approaching the monster.

"You... um!" Auston cleared his throat, "You can help Hagrid catch some mice or something, and make Norbert's feed."

He nodded as he spoke, "Yes, that's it! It's just right." He praised his resilience in his heart!

Qian Qian pouted with dissatisfaction.

"It's also important to prepare mice for Norbert." Harry said, and he didn't want Sissy to approach the fire dragon.

"Norbo is getting bigger and bigger, and Hagrid can't use magic. He can't catch so many mice by himself. Sissi, you are the only one of us with the most powerful spells, and you have to do this!" Harry! Continue to persuade.

Although Qian Qian still frowned. However, he reluctantly nodded his head in acceptance.

It was the first time that Auston found Harry so pleasing to the eye.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow, Ron and I will come first, the day after tomorrow, Hermione and Harry, and then take turns until Norbert is sent away."

Several people nodded in agreement. Then quietly left Hagrid's hut.

This afternoon, Auston found his dean, Professor Sprout, who taught herbal medicine, and wanted to borrow dragon leather gloves from her.

His rhetoric was 'I want to preview the second-year course first, but I'm afraid the mandrake will bite him. ’

Then, under Professor Sprout's nose, he took four pairs of thick dragonskin gloves.

"You know, I can only put on a few more layers of gloves to prevent the mandrakes from biting me." He said with a smile while holding a pile of gloves.

Sprout rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.

He quietly climbed to the eighth floor and distributed the gloves to Harry and the others, one pair for each, at least to protect them from being bitten. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

For the next week, they wore Harry's Invisibility Cloak every noon and ran quietly to Hagrid's cabin. Feed Norber the dead rat in the crate.

Auston was amazed at how Sissi caught so many mice that he hadn't seen a mouse around the castle for a week.

Even once, when he and Delphi were lying side by side on the grass in front of the castle, he saw a large group of rats lining up in a distance, rushing towards the forbidden forest.

At that time, Delphi was still very surprised. It was about to come to the midsummer, and all kinds of animals hibernating in the Forbidden Forest had reached the active period. Are these groups of mice going to die?

Auston didn't dare to say that Sissy had taken all the other people's nests, these mice would die faster if they stayed here.

After almost three rounds, this time I went to Auston to feed Norbert with Ron.

As they always did, when everyone went to lunch, Auston was waiting for Ron at the stairwell on the first floor.

Ron, who was wearing the Invisibility Cloak, also went down to the first floor, pulled the Invisibility Cloak away in front of him, exposed his head, and covered him again.

The two of them huddled in an invisibility cloak, walked out of the castle lightly, walked around the promenade to the grass, and ran towards Hagrid's hut.

Well, Hagrid was here at noon today. He had just opened a box of dead mice when Auston and the others came in.

Hagrid said with a smile

"You guys came just in time. Sissi just sent two more boxes of mice. I have to say, her Floating Charm is really beautiful!"

Obviously there were no mice around the castle, Auston suspected that Sissy must have gone to the Forbidden Forest to catch them.

This ignorant little girl must educate her well when she has time!
