Chapter 215: Devastated Ron
Chapter 215 The Collapse of Ron
As well as having difficulty keeping secrets, Hagrid's talent for naming magical creatures is equally difficult to describe.
This time is no exception.
The name Noble does sound good, but this is a female dragon... What is the difference between this and a little girl calling her Tiedan.
It's a good thing it didn't understand, otherwise it might have sprayed Hagrid's beard with dragon flames.
"Hagrid, I think this name is a bit inappropriate. It's called Zhuo... Um, what are you doing..."
Just when Kyle was about to come up with a new name, he saw Hagrid covering Norbert's ears and looking at him nervously.
“Don’t say it, Kyle, it’s called Nob...”
Hagrid was really nervous.
He thought of the owl named Raton. Ever since Kyle changed his name, he no longer recognized him.
He feared it would be the same this time.
"It's called Norbert..." Hagrid repeated it again, covering his hand more tightly.
It’s just that his hands were a bit big, and they almost covered Norbert’s entire head.
The little guy whose head was grabbed was completely stunned. When he realized what he was doing, he began to kick his legs and flap his wings on the table.
Finally, he sprayed out a puff of dragon flame, and the flames fell on Hagrid's hand, causing him to take a deep breath in pain.
There was a burning smell around him, but even so, Hagrid did not let go of his hand and still stared at Kyle nervously.
“Okay, it’s up to you.” Kyle also guessed what Hagrid was thinking.
In order not to be kicked out, he wisely did not say any more.
Let Noble be Noble. Anyway, he is still young and can't remember it. At worst, he can change it after a while.
Hagrid couldn't keep it forever anyway.
Hagrid obviously didn't know what Kyle was thinking. After hearing his assurance, he let go of Norbert and quickly came to a large bucket filled with water and put his hand in it.
Kyle smiled and said: "You are too nervous, and it doesn't understand the meaning of the name now."
But Hagrid did not talk to him, but changed the subject abruptly: "I never knew that fire dragons like to eat fish before. The book says that their favorite food is sheep."
“The person who wrote that book probably made reference to Australian opaleyes. They like to eat local sheep in Australia very much, and they also like to drink brandy.”
Kyle raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course, other fire dragons are the same. Sheep and cattle are their main food."
“But Norwegian Ridgebacks are different. Due to their growing environment, they are the only fire dragons that can find food in the water.”
Hagrid threw aside the book "Raising Fire Dragons for Fun and Profit" in his hand with some annoyance, "I should really read another book...this one is full of mistakes."
“It’s just a small part, most of the content is fine.” Kyle said: “Or you can borrow a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which has a detailed introduction to the Norwegian Ridgeback.”
…
Hagrid can be said to be doting on Norbert.
In the next few days, all the dead minks on the shelf outside the door of his wooden house disappeared, replaced by whole legs of cattle and pieces of fish that had been carefully processed.
And these fish are all very big, even the smallest ones are as long as a foot.
During this period, in addition to Kyle, Harry and the others would come over often, but most of the time they would stay in the dark hut, explaining the facts to Hagrid and persuading him to send the fire dragon away. "You can't keep it, Hagrid!"
Hermione repeated what she had said countless times before, "In two weeks, it will be as big as the house and you won't be able to hide it!"
"I know, but it's still early, isn't it." Hagrid said vaguely and perfunctorily: "It is still too young. I don't worry about what if it is bullied in the wild."
Norbert looked at them, then tilted his head to look at Kyle, and called out in confusion.
"Oh, they are discussing what to eat for the next meal." Kyle touched the scales on its neck and whispered: "How about Tebo warthog legs, with some corn and cabbage."
Norbert let out a dissatisfied cry and began to roll on the ground.
"No, you must eat all these things. Even if you are a fire dragon, you can't just eat meat."
On the other side, Hagrid was still arguing with Harry and the others over the custody of Norbert, and no one noticed anything strange about Kyle.
"Malfoy has discovered it," Harry advised. "It's too dangerous, Hagrid."
Hagrid shook his head, "But Kyle said before that the window was very small, so he might not have seen it at all."
Suddenly, everyone’s eyes focused on Kyle in the corner.
“Don’t look at me, it has nothing to do with me.”
Kyle said quickly: "That's just a possibility. With Malfoy's character, if he had really seen the fire dragon, he would have reported it to the professor long ago. There is no way he could have endured it until now.
Of course, it's also possible that he wanted to use this news to threaten Harry... It's all possible. "
"Did you hear that, Hagrid?" Harry raised his voice, "None of us can guarantee that Malfoy didn't see it. He might go to Dumbledore at any time."
"And it's illegal to keep dragons." Hermione said: "How disappointed Dumbledore would be if he knew..."
"Perhaps, I can put it in the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid said with some hesitation: "Just like Luwei and Aragog back then, they are both fine now."
"Wait a minute..." Harry seemed to have discovered something and frowned: "Lu Wei, I know it's the three-headed dog in the forbidden forest... but what is Aragog? How many things have you raised in the forbidden forest? "
“No, no, no, you heard wrong, it’s only Lu Wei.”
Although Hagrid tried his best to explain and said that Aragog was just a harmless little cutie, no one believed him.
Harry and the others know Hagrid too well. It can be seen from the three-headed dog and the fire dragon that he likes very dangerous magical animals.
“By the way, Hagrid…”
At this moment, Kyle suddenly took out a bottle of blue potion and placed it on the table.
“This is the spider tonic you asked for. According to your request, I specially increased the potency. Even if it is given to a spider as big as a car, it will be fine.”
"So, Aragog is...a spider?" Harry asked.
“It should be the Acromantula.” Hermione thought for a while, “I saw it in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Only they can grow to the size of a car.”
Ron didn't speak, his face quickly turned pale, and his body was shaking unconsciously.
The familiar cabin suddenly became unfamiliar. There seemed to be spiders hidden under the bed, in the corners, in the cabinets... everywhere.
"Let's go back quickly..." Ron stood there stiffly and collapsed: "I haven't finished my homework yet!"
