Hogwarts lazy snake

Horn rode in the magic alchemical sedan and quickly shuttled through the Forbidden Forest, whizzing through the trees, scaring the animals in the Forbidden Forest so much that they either watched curiously or hid.

Soon, he came to a hidden cave deep in the forbidden forest.

The sedan slowly descended. Horn stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the situation inside. He took a deep breath and called softly, "Nobeta, Nobeta, it's me, Horn. Are you in there?"

His voice echoed in the silent forbidden forest, but only a hollow echo answered him.

Horn waited patiently for a while, then raised his voice and called out again: "Nobeta, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

After a while, a slight movement was heard in the cave, as if Norbeta was moving his huge body inside.

Then, Nobeta's huge head cautiously poked out of the cave. Its eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly and a low whimper came from its throat.

After seeing Horn, it seemed to relax a little and wanted to come out of the cave, but then shrank back as if it thought of something.

Seeing this, Horn slowly approached, always maintaining a gentle attitude, and kept soothing her: "Don't be afraid, little one, I know you've been wronged. It's not all your fault. It's that guy who did bad things. You should do that. This is how little girls should protect themselves when they are outside!"

Norbeta hesitated for a moment, and seemed to see that Horn had no intention of blaming her, so she slowly moved her whole body out of the cave and out of the darkness.

There was some dirt and leaves on its scales, and it was obvious that it was in a very miserable state hiding in the cave.

Horn gently stroked Nobeta's scales, feeling its uneasiness and grievance.

He took out some snacks he had prepared specially for Norbeta from a small bag - the secret marinated turkey, and handed it to its mouth, saying gently: "Come, have something to eat."

Norbeta sniffed it slightly, then slowly opened his mouth and swallowed the snack in one gulp. Then, looking at Horn, Norbeta suddenly raised his head, and his huge head pushed the unsuspecting Horn to the ground.

Horn felt dizzy and was hit on the butt by Norbeta, falling to the ground.

Before he could react, Norbeta's huge head pressed down on him. It kept twisting and rubbing on Horn's body, making low roars from its mouth, as if expressing its gratitude to Horn.

While feeding Norbeta, Horn continued to communicate with it telepathically to further calm its panicked mood: "Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you. I'll put you in a place first. You just behave yourself in there. I will make sure that hateful Carlo gets the punishment he deserves."

Then Horn put Norbeta into the cave. Looking at the empty cave, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out his magic wand and waved it at the dead branches and leaves on the ground.

Then, without further delay, he got into the sedan chair and returned the same way.

Outside Hagrid's hut at this time.

Carlo looked at Hermione, Draco, Harry and others who were in a stalemate over Hagrid, and felt secretly proud of himself, thinking that his plan was flawless.

But then he noticed that Horn had been in the hut for a long time and had not come out. He could not help but feel suspicious and thought to himself: Could it be that Horn had gone to hide the dragon? Otherwise, how could he have been gone for so long without a trace?

Thinking of this, he wanted to ask Fudge to go check where Hagrid hid the dragon, to confirm whether the dragon was really there.

At the same time, the clever Hermione and Carlotta also noticed that Horn took too long to go to the toilet, and they also became suspicious. They thought the same thing as Carlo, wondering if Horn was doing something else.

Just as Carlo was about to tell Minister Fudge his thoughts, Hermione and the others saw Horn walking out of the hut slowly, looking like he had just finished relieving himself.

"You guys are talking about that. Maybe I have a stomachache. It's been a while." Horn said with an embarrassed look on his face.

He even straightened his clothes, with a nonchalant look on his face, as if he was just satisfying his physical needs.

Horn knew clearly that he had just gone to the Forbidden Forest quickly through a secret passage in the house, properly placed Norbeta in a safe place, and left a surprise for Carlo and the dear minister.

But he didn't want to expose his actions at the moment. He just pretended to walk back to the crowd easily, ready to see what tricks Carlo could play.

When Carlo saw Horn coming out, the concerns on his face did not disappear, but became even stronger.

He walked straight to Minister Fudge and said with a serious expression: "Minister Fudge, no matter how much you say, it will be useless. Why don't you let me take you to the hiding place of the fire dragon! In this way, the truth will naturally come to light."

When Harry and the others saw Horn coming back, they were about to ask what happened, but Horn stopped them decisively with a look.

Then, Horn calmly said something that shocked Harry, Draco and others: "Okay, Minister Fudge, I also think that everything should be based on evidence."

"Since Carlo has suggested this, we might as well do as he says and go and find out if there really is a dragon, and also to determine if Hagrid really raises dangerous magical animals privately."

After Horn finished speaking, he turned to Professor McGonagall and said sincerely, "Professor McGonagall, I think this is the only way to completely prove Hagrid's innocence."

As he spoke, he did not forget to wink at Hagrid, his eyes revealing a hint of imperceptible cunning and confidence.

Hagrid was originally worried about Norberta's safety and was extremely anxious. He kept pacing on the spot, holding the pink handkerchief tightly in his hand.

After seeing Horn's series of actions, although he was very curious about why Horn said such strange words, he trusted Horn.

He firmly believed that Horn must have a thorough plan, so he put away his handkerchief without hesitation and immediately changed his words: "Yes, let's go and take a look, so that everything will be clear."

Minister Fudge was well aware of Hagrid's past experiences. He knew very well that more than ten years ago, Hagrid was almost expelled from the Ministry of Magic for privately raising dangerous animals. In the end, it was only with Dumbledore's strenuous mediation that he was able to continue to stay in Hogwarts to guard the Forbidden Forest.

Therefore, he naturally did not dare to take this incident lightly.

When Harry heard Horn's proposal, he mistakenly thought that Horn was going to abandon Norberta and betray their friendship. He became so angry that his face turned red and he was about to refute.

At this moment, Ron was quick to grab Harry, and Hermione also reacted quickly and covered Harry's mouth with her hand to prevent him from acting impulsively.

Carlotta took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly approached Horn, lowering her voice and asking, "Did you go and hide Norbeta?"

Horn nodded slightly, signaling her to keep quiet, and then he said nothing more, quietly watching Fudge and Professor McGonagall discuss the next course of action.

Although Draco, Neville and others around did not hear the conversation between Carlotta and Horn, they saw their little movements and the reactions of the crowd, and roughly guessed the direction of development of the matter, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Professor McGonagall, who was negotiating with Fudge, keenly caught the subtle movements of Horn and others. He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful and began to think about it.

After a brief discussion, Fudge and McGonagall finally decided to lead everyone to the Forbidden Forest to find out what was going on.

So, under the leadership of Carlo, the group marched towards the depths of the forbidden forest.

After more than twenty minutes of arduous trekking, they finally arrived at the cave where Horn had discovered Norbeta.

"How could this happen!" Carlo was the first to exclaim.
