[HP] The Elegance of the Night

At the end of the holiday, the little wizards returned to Hogwarts to start their study career.I lived a three-point and one-line life of going to class, eating, and doing homework every day.The first-year freshmen can't join the college Quidditch team, and they can't go to Hogsmeade village. The only advantage is that they don't have to deal with the nightmare exams like the seniors.

Draco was very depressed recently. First, he accidentally injured Neville Longbottom while fighting in the corridor. That cowardly little lion fell under his leg-locking spell and started crying. Before he could undo the spell, he jumped all the way quickly escaped.

What happened afterwards made him even more unhappy. Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch in just 5 minutes in the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.Refresh the school record.

Gryffindor cheered, and everyone saw Professor Snape spit on the ground with a gloomy face. (faithful to the original)

After this game, the little wizards put their energy into their studies again. The last game was at the end of the semester. There was no suspense in the game against Ravenclaw. Geek trains a lot more.

With ten weeks left until the end of the semester, the amount of homework assigned by the professors has greatly increased, and the little wizards have spent the bleak Easter holiday with a lot of homework, which is not as fun as Christmas.

In the library, there was a brief harmony between Gryffindor and Slytherin. They sat in their seats to complete their homework, and neither of them tried to provoke each other.

One morning, when Igil and Draco passed the Gryffindor table, Weasley's red-haired kid was talking excitedly over breakfast.

When they were a few steps away from the Gryffindor foursome, Miss Granger's voice came.

"...or we'll get in trouble, and if anyone finds out what Hagrid's doing, he'll be worse off than us—"

"Stop it." The savior warned in a low voice, he glanced at Igil, smiled at him kindly, and cast his wary eyes on Draco.

Draco walked past him with his head thrown back in disdain, followed by a string of proud little snakes.

"Igil, did you hear their conversation? If anyone finds out what Hagrid did..." Draco walked out of the restaurant with a gloating tone, "I just secretly put a tracking spell on Granger, and soon he will Will know their little secret."

"Recently they always run to the cabin. Last time I saw that half-blood giant borrowed a lot of books in the library." Yigil said, "It's all about raising dragons."

"Raise dragons!" Draco raised his voice. He loved dragons as much as Quidditch. "I have to keep an eye on them." He added a few more spells with his wand in hand.

"They can't get away now."

During recess in the morning, Draco's wand moved, and he saw through the glass window the Gryffindor four, hurrying across the grounds, towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Look at how excited they are, they have never seen the world!" Although Draco was sarcastic, he couldn't hide his excitement.

He and Igil followed up quickly, and happened to see the whole process of hatching through the cracks in the curtains.

The egg lay on the table with a deep crack already in it, and something was moving in it, making a very amusing clicking sound.With a harsh scratching sound, the egg cracked.A small dragon wobbled and fluttered.

Its jet-black body is thin, and its prickly wings are particularly large. It has two horny bumps on its head, orange-red protruding eyes, and a long and big nose with white nostrils.It sneezed and spewed sparks from its nose.

"It's the Norwegian Ridgeback." Draco introduced Igil. "They eat meat and can take a whale off the coast of Norway!"

"Who's outside!" Hagrid's face turned pale, and he jumped up and ran to the window.However, there is nothing outside the window...

"Someone was peeping through the curtain just now." He said in a panic, if people knew about raising dragons, he would be fired.

"Peeping? Don't speak so harshly!" A gorgeous aria came from outside the door.

Harry Potter opened the door quickly, and Igil and Draco stood outside.They walked in calmly, without any embarrassment of being caught.

"Igil!" Allie Windsor said in surprise, "You won't tell, right?"

"Please call me Blake, Miss Windsor." Ellie Windsor bit her lip at Igil's words. "Blake..." she said, with a look on the verge of tears.He also gave her a gift for Christmas, but now he is so indifferent.

"Blake, you wouldn't say it, would you?" Harry Potter looked at him with warm blue eyes and asked softly.This act of showing weakness reminded Igil of the thin and pitiful little boy he first met at the beginning of school.

He nodded slightly as an answer.

Draco snorted slightly, and Harry Potter turned his gaze to him.

"Malfoy, will you speak out?" Draco couldn't resist the savior's change of attitude. Recently, they have been against each other for too long, so long that he has forgotten how much he wanted to be friends with this boy.

At that time, he seemed innocent and harmless, but now he always confronted him tit for tat. Sure enough, Gryffindor influenced him?

"Harry Potter, you should be thankful that we discovered this, not anyone else." Draco rarely called him Saint Potter or the Savior, perhaps because of these two titles, let their Friendship goes farther and farther.

"It's better to be discovered by others." The red-haired kid of the Weasley family grunted.

Draco glared at him.

"Weasley, real malice doesn't show on your face, they just push you behind your back. Look at your attitude, you offend people everywhere like your Muggle-loving dad, if it weren't for my dad he would Get the hell out of the Ministry of Magic."

"..." Are you so kind?Ron said in his mind.

Arthur Weasley did mention that Lucius Malfoy helped him, although the reason was just to pity him, the head of a pure-blood family, who starved to death without a job.Daddy had gotten into a fight with the elegant magnate for describing Mrs. Weasley as a sow.

"Hagrid, I have the latest edition of "The New Guide to Raising Dragons". You must not have it."

"What are you trying to do!" The clever Hermione Granger saw the sign, "Don't tell me..."

"That's what happened." Igil smiled, since it was what Draco wanted and it was such an interesting thing, he was also happy to see it come true.

"Hope we get along well, Gryffindor..."

For the next week, the arrival of the two little snakes unnerved the Gryffindor foursome, who spent most of their spare time in Hagrid's dimly lit hut without hostility due to a rare alignment of purpose.

This young Norwegian ridgeback grew very fast, and in just one week, it had tripled in length, and puffs of smoke and fire wicks spewed out of its nose, nearly burning Hagrid's beard.

Hagrid had put aside his job of guarding the hunting grounds because the dragons were making him scramble.Although Draco was very interested in raising dragons, he only talked about it and ordered Hagrid to do it. Even so, the half-blood giant was already very grateful.

Igil specially wrote an observation diary to record the growth process of the dragon. He noticed that Ellie Windsor wrote things with a ballpoint pen. It didn't seem like she was observing the dragon, but she often took it out to supplement.She kept the black leather book close to her body, and once he accidentally glanced at it, it was full of weird square characters.

Yi-gil asks her if it’s a Chinese character, and it looks like it.She was very nervous.It was never taken out in front of Igil again.

"I decided to call him Norbert," said Hagrid, looking at the dragon with tear-blurred eyes. "He really knows me now, look. Norbert! Norbert! Where's Mommy?"

It's a pity that the little dragon just glanced at him and turned its head to Draco. Hagrid would only feed it dead mice, and Draco Malfoy would bring it reindeer and thunderbirds every time.

Master Malfoy proudly called it "Karl I," and it responded enthusiastically and got a piece of salmon, which made Hagrid sad for a while.

In the second week, they began to worry. Its size soared like a blown balloon. The cubs could only write to Ron's brother, who was studying dragons in Romania and had a way to release him into the wild.

Draco was very angry when he knew that they had made this decision without his consent. He wanted to keep "Karl I" in Malfoy Manor.Igil had no choice but to persuade him that raising dragons was against the law, so don't cause trouble for Mr. Malfoy.

The little lions received a reply on Wednesday night, and Charlie was willing to take it away. He told them to take the dragon to the highest tower at midnight on Saturday so that they could meet it.

They had wanted to keep this from Draco, because the platinum boy was not willing to let the dragon go.Ron was in the hospital wing the next day, the hand he'd been bitten by the dragon the night before had swollen to twice its size, and the wound had turned an ugly green colour.

Draco went to see Ron in the name of borrowing a book, laughed at him heartily, and borrowed the book with the letter in it.

Before he left, he dropped a bottle of antidote. Ron's expression looked like he had eaten booger-flavored beans. When Malfoy would be so kind, could this bottle be poison?

On Saturday night, Allie Windsor said that she would not go with them, she told them that going to bed late is a taboo for beauty, and that Harry's invisibility cloak cannot hide so many people.

She repeatedly told them to be more careful, not to be run into by Mr. Filch, if they were caught, Gryffindor would lose a lot of points.

Ron was still lying in the hospital wing, and Harry and Hermione had to go by themselves, using the Invisibility Cloak to move the crate up the tower, and by the time they got to the top, Igil and Draco were already there.Draco held the letter in his hand and flicked it triumphantly.

About 10 minutes later, four broomsticks descended from the darkness, and Charlie's friends arrived.They tied Karl I safely to the rope with all their hands and feet, and then shook their hands and said many words of thanks.

Finally, Karl I is gone... gone... gone.

They walked down the spiral staircase quietly, and the little lion of Gryffindor walked in front with ease, finally getting rid of the heavy burden of Karl I. Their mood was as light as their steps.Malfoy's unhappiness made this joy double.

As soon as they stepped into the corridor, the face of Mr. Filch, the administrator, suddenly emerged from the darkness.

"Oops—" whispered Harry Potter, "we're in trouble."

They forgot the invisibility cloak on top of the tower.

"You two! Running around in the middle of the night, I'm going to take you to see Professor McGonagall!"

"Two?" The Gryffindor duo said in unison, and when they looked back, the two little Slytherin snakes had already slipped away.

"Haha—they can bear it now." Draco said to Igil with a smile, the little lion's arrest made him feel better, and he gave himself "Silence", and they ran quickly to the dormitory with.

"I can even imagine the expression on Gryffindor's face before the scoring hourglass tomorrow, it must be wonderful."

They reached the first floor and ran to the dark basement, Draco felt something click under his feet.

"Meow——" a tragic meow pierced the sky.

Draco shook and pulled Igil to speed up the run. "Too bad luck to step on Mrs. Norris' tail again."

"Stop, you two!" Professor McGonagall's voice sounded from behind them, extremely angry.

They turned their heads stiffly, and Professor McGonagall was walking towards them.

She was wearing a hairnet and a plaid dressing gown with a big footprint on it...

"Oops—" Igil whispered, "We're in trouble."

"Shut up! Slytherin will deduct [-] points each!" Professor McGonagall stepped forward and grabbed the two of them by the ears.

On the other end, Ellie Windsor was writing down her little notebook. It started a few weeks ago. One day, Longbottom was cursed with a leg lock and fell into the Gryffindor common room crying. They comforted him , gave him a piece of chocolate with a wizard card.

As a result, Harry discovered the name of Nicole Flamel on Dumbledore's card. He was Dumbledore's collaborator and was very effective in alchemy.

Hermione dug out the old books that she had borrowed to read for entertainment a long time ago, so they figured out that the thing hidden on the fourth floor was the Sorcerer's Stone.

Ellie is very regretful about this. She has been in this world for six years, and she can't remember many details in the book. For example, this time she only remembers that Hermione found the answer in an old book, but she doesn't remember the wizard card. .

This reminded her that if you don't record the key things, the memory in your mind will become less and less as time goes by.This is the key to life-saving.

"...So in the second grade, Harry Potter defeated the diary gentleman, and our beautiful vase male professor lost his memory due to the rebound of the spell, and was admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries." She wrote on the notebook with a ballpoint pen Write down the last paragraph, and end today's task with satisfaction.

By the way... what's the name of that vase man?Allie Windsor was distressed.

Forget it, you don't need to memorize these details, anyway, you already know his name in the second grade.She closed the book, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Today, Harry and the others would be caught and lose a lot of points. She was determined not to go with them, and if she deducted one more point, they would definitely not win the Academy Cup at the end of the semester.

As for the process of their arrest, she really couldn't remember, who would remember these details.

Ellie sighed, imagining the scene when she passed the hourglass tomorrow, and turned over on the bed depressed.

Sorry, my friend, I really don't remember the details.

So, I can't help you guys, please take care...
