Chapter 216: I have a better choice
Chapter 216 I have a better choice
Ron was really scared. After learning that Hagrid had raised an Acromantula, he no longer cared about the fire dragon and just wanted to return to the castle quickly.
As long as he can go back, even if he is asked to write a whole... um, half a day's homework.
However, even such a small appeal has never received a response.
Harry and Hermione are still trying to use various reasons to persuade Hagrid to let Norbert go, and they will definitely not leave like this.
It's not that Ron didn't think about leaving Harry and Hermione here and leaving first, but he quickly rejected this idea because it would make him look cowardly.
unable to walk, moving but afraid to move, Ron could only suppress the fear of spiders in his heart, and stood there in fear.
"The Forbidden Forest is too small, Hagrid." Hermione on the side persuaded: "You may be able to hide a three-headed dog there, but you definitely can't hide a dragon. Don't forget that Norbert can fly. It only takes a little while." If you move your wings you can fly fifty feet, and those trees are useless."
"But...I just owned it." Hagrid was a little shaken.
"Do you want it to stay in the Forbidden Forest and never fly?" Hermione continued to persuade: "Norbert is a dragon, Hagrid. It was born to belong to the sky."
"I...I know I can't keep it forever." Hagrid bit his lip and murmured: "But it rubbed my hand while eating yesterday. It must have regarded me as its mother...I can't just treat it like this. Throw it away, you can’t.”
ah?
Kyle raised his head and looked doubtfully at Norbert, who was lying on his arm pretending to be dead.
What happened? Why did I suddenly become a male mother without paying attention...
Furthermore, he had never heard of the tradition of "recognizing relatives by rubbing hands" with fire dragons. How did Hagrid come to this conclusion?
“Charlie!”
At this moment, Harry suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
He said with some excitement: "Ron, I remember that your brother Charlie is studying fire dragons in Romania. We might as well give Norbert to him."
Ron didn't speak, just nodded stiffly.
“That’s a great idea!” Hermione said. “How about that, Hagrid!”
“I’m sure Charlie will take good care of it!”
Hagrid was silent for a moment and did not agree immediately. He just said that he would think about it.
After that, no matter what Harry and Hermione said, he didn't let go.
It wasn't until the three of them left that Hagrid slumped down on the chair, grabbed his hair and asked: "Kyle, do you think I should have agreed to them just now... sending Norbert to Romania might have been the best thing. chosen."
“To be honest, it’s not necessary.”
After confirming that the trio had gone far, Kyle said: "Charlie is indeed trustworthy, but I have a better choice..."
Kyle stayed in Hagrid's cabin for a long time and didn't leave until noon.
…
The next day, when Harry and Hermione came again to persuade Hagrid to hand over Norbert to Charlie, they received news that surprised them.
"You mean you've found a solution?" Harry said in disbelief.
"Yes." Hagrid looked much more relaxed. He said while handling a fish: "You are right, you can't raise a dragon here, so it will leave when it grows up a little."
Hearing Hagrid say this, Harry also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn’t know where he sent Norbert, it would be fine as long as it wasn’t Hogwarts.
"By the way, where's Ron?" Hagrid raised his head and asked, "Why didn't he come with you?" "Oh, he has other things to do today." Harry said.
Since learning that he was coming here today, Ron left the common room and never came back. Harry could not find where he was.
…
“Hermione, don’t you think it’s a little strange?”
On the way back, Harry looked back in the direction of the cabin and asked, "It's only been a day, why did Hagrid suddenly agree to send Norbert away? Did something happen during this period that we don't know about?" ."
"There's nothing surprising about this. Maybe Hagrid has figured out that he can't keep a dragon at Hogwarts."
“And we have more important things to do now than these.”
Hermione seemed a little anxious and spoke quickly: "The final exam is coming soon. We must seize the time to review now and make up for all the time we lost before."
"Exams, it's still early." Harry said nonchalantly.
"There are still twenty days!" Hermione retorted: "Or it's exam week next month. Do you think it's still too early?"
"Twenty...days?" Harry stopped suddenly and looked at Hermione blankly.
The last time they discussed the exam, there were still ten weeks left. How come there were suddenly only twenty days left?
But he clearly felt that only a few days had passed...Who had stolen his time?
What made Harry even more desperate was that he couldn't remember any of the knowledge he had learned in class, and his mind went blank.
When they returned to the castle and told Ron who was waiting for them at the entrance of the auditorium, the other party also showed the same expression.
It seems that just for a moment, the exam is no longer out of reach.
For some time afterwards, Harry and Ron had no time to think about Hagrid and his fire dragon.
Night after night, after they finished writing a lot of homework assigned by the teacher, they had to work hard to complete the review plan that Hermione had set for them, which was driving them crazy.
"this is too scary…"
In the library, Ron looked at the thick pile of books in front of him that would never be finished, and said with some collapse: "I even dream about automatically stirring the crucible now."
"Did you dream about the answer?" Hermione raised her head and said dissatisfiedly: "Which wizards invented it."
There were more books in front of her, almost filling the entire table.
"I just remember those cauldrons lining up to hit me on the head..." Ron said with a grimace: "But Hermione, why do you still need to review? You already know everything."
“Were you knocked stupid by those crucibles?”
Hermione said anxiously: "If you just know, there is no way to get an O (outstanding) in the final exam.
What if the question is very difficult? I simply can’t imagine what I would do if I only get an E (exceeding expectations). "
Harry and Ron looked at each other. To be honest, if they could get an E, they would probably jump for joy.
"But, you are already the best in the whole grade." Ron whispered: "In class, you are always the first to complete the professor's requirements."
“Many people can do this...such as Kyle in the second grade.” Hermione shook her head and said, “And I understand that his grades last year were full marks.”
