Hogwarts lazy snake

With Carlo's betrayal, it was no longer safe to keep Norbeta in the forbidden forest. After all, no one could be sure whether the enemy would come back to attack.

So, Harry and others were completing Professor McGonagall's "task" while discussing how to deal with Norberta.

"Why don't we send Norbeta to my brother Charlie? As you know, Charlie works in a dragon sanctuary in Romania."

Ron bit his lip slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, he looked at Hagrid, Hermione and others and put forward his suggestions.

When Hermione heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she saw the dawn of hope: "That's great, Ron!"

"Horn, you might as well hand Norberta over to Ron's brother Charlie. This will effectively prevent Carlo from doing bad things again. Although he failed this time, no one can say whether he will have subsequent conspiracies. But then again, Hagrid was indeed a little careless this time and was actually followed by Carlo."

As Hermione spoke, she placed a book in her hand steadily on the bookshelf.

Harry nodded in agreement. "Yes, this way, neither Hagrid nor Norberta will have to worry about the Ministry of Magic causing trouble."

"Horn, it's not a bad idea to keep it at my house. My backyard is quite spacious." Draco also spoke up at this time. However, halfway through his words, he seemed to suddenly realize something and his voice unconsciously became smaller.

Upon hearing this, Carlotta immediately put down the broom in her hand and looked at Draco with interest: "Oh, our Master Malfoy is finally willing to communicate with us. It seems that in Master Malfoy's heart, the people of us are not as good as a dragon. Since the beginning of the school, I finally heard you speak."

Malfoy, who was originally organizing books, stopped his movements for a moment. He glanced at Carlotta, then at Horn, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he lowered his head helplessly and continued to organize the books in his hands silently.

While sorting the books, Horn said slowly, "I say, have you ever thought that I am actually capable of raising Norbeta myself?"

Horn had long been aware of Draco's unusual behavior, and what he said now was indeed the truth.

Whether placing Norbeta in the cave or keeping it in the guardian base, Horn has enough financial resources to cover the food expenses of this little Norwegian Ridgeback.

After all, the Peace Alchemy Shop he opened in Diagon Alley was doing a booming business. Although he couldn't say that he was making a fortune every day, the profits were considerable. Moreover, for the guardian, a Norwegian Ridgeback might be a powerful fighting partner.

Hmm? An idea suddenly flashed through Horn's mind. Yes, dragon rider! For a guardian, this is much more impressive than riding a flying broom.

However, Horn then thought that this did not seem to be consistent with the guardian's usual low-key style.

After some discussion, everyone still failed to come to a definite decision. After all, Hagrid, as the nominal owner of Norbeta, had not yet expressed his position, so the matter still needed to be decided by him.

"call-"

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye. Carlo walked out of the confinement room with an angry face. He breathed in the long-lost air called "freedom", but the anger in his heart did not diminish at all.

"Damn you, Horn, why do you always go against me? Just wait and see, I will never give up! And Malfoy, you, you actually helped them without informing me in advance, causing me to be put in detention. Just wait, I will definitely complain to your father!"

There was a hint of ruthlessness in Carlo's eyes, and the image of Draco following Harry and the others involuntarily emerged in his mind.

He secretly believed that Draco must have known about this for a long time, but deliberately concealed it from him, with the purpose of simply wanting to take all the credit.

Then, Carlo looked around again and found that there was no one around. He couldn't help but mutter even more angrily: "Where is that guy Inteko? I guess he went to fool around with Millicent somewhere again."

Carlo shuddered at the thought of Intek's tiny frame and Millicent's huge figure.

In the Room of Requirement, Horn quietly watched Hermione and Ron trying to cast the Patronus Charm. After Horn's careful teaching for more than two weeks, the Patronus Charm of the two had begun to show results and was about to take shape.

As for Neville, there was still only a tiny silver light bulb flickering at the tip of his wand, which was unique to the Patronus charm, and it was still a long way from being completed.

However, Ginny's Patronus Charm is showing signs of taking shape, and judging from today's situation, it seems that Ron is expected to accomplish this feat first.

Yes, except Horn and Carlotta, the others learned from the detailed explanation of the know-it-all Hermione that the form of the Patronus Charm to a certain extent represents the talent of a wizard.

At this moment, the door of the Room of Requirement slowly opened again, and Harry and the Weasley twins walked in together.

Unlike usual, this time the Weasley twins did not laugh and chat as usual, but stepped into the house cautiously.

George and Fred successfully summoned their Patronus one day earlier than Hermione and Ron. Horn was not sure whether it was because they were twins and had a telepathic connection with each other, or for some other reason.

Their patronus is a magpie. Surprisingly, after their patronus is formed, the physical forms they summon are both magpies.

The arrival of the three did not affect Hermione and Ron, who were concentrating on summoning the Patronus.

However, at this moment, by coincidence, they saw that something seemed to be about to break out of the small silver balls of light on the tips of Ron and Hermione's wands.

At this moment, everyone in the Room of Requirement held their breath and stared intently, afraid of making any sound to disturb Hermione and Ron.

Fortunately, everyone didn't have to wait too long.

Soon, a silver-white animal patronus jumped out from a small ball of light on the tip of each of their wands.

When everyone looked closely, they saw a silver-white otter wandering happily around Hermione, while Ron's was a Jack Russell terrier.

"Wow, Hermione, your Patronus is so cute!" Carlotta was the first to exclaim in admiration, her eyes full of curiosity and love as she kept looking at the otter Patronus beside Hermione.

"Wow, I didn't expect that Ou Doudou's patronus is actually a puppy." George walked to Ron with a smile and looked down at Ron's patronus.

Fred followed closely behind, standing on the other side of Ron, and put his arm around his shoulder, teasing, "And it's a cute little puppy, as cute as Ou Doudou."

However, as Horn looked at Ron's Patronus and Hermione's Patronus, a thought occurred to him: Jack Russells are famous for chasing otters. Could this Patronus be like a real animal... right?!

Before Horn could finish his thought, he saw Ron's patronus suddenly noticed the otter nearby and instantly flew towards it like an arrow.

"Ah, Ron, what are you doing!" Hermione couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this.

But at this moment, nothing seemed to stop the Jack Russell's instinctive urge to chase the otter.

At the same time, in the Shrieking Shack, Sirius Black was pounding the already worn-out sofa in anger, and many animals in the house were watching this scene quietly.
