Jack and Amelia couldn't believe their eyes.

This is not 19 years ago.

After so many years of killing, goblins have lost their legitimacy, and the wizarding community has generally developed a hostile attitude towards goblins.

This also caused the number of goblins to drop to a very low level.

Under such circumstances, how did an obviously hostile goblin break into Hogwarts?

Jack had too many doubts in his heart.

But he has no time to think about it now.

Because although the goblin escaped, its disappearance seemed to anger the fire-breathing monster.

A deafening roar was heard, and the huge monster rose into the air and rushed towards Jack and Amelia.

Then in the remaining firelight, Emilia could even see the cold light on the monster's claws.

This made her body stiffen suddenly, her mind went blank, and there was a harsh buzzing in her ears.

But at this moment, a familiar shout that seemed far away yet very close suddenly sounded.

"Emilia!"

"boom--"

Emilia only felt that she was hit by something.

Then the perspective flickered, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

It seemed vaguely that something was pressing on him.

When the angle of view stabilized again, all she could see was Jack's very close face, and behind Jack, the huge claws that were getting closer and closer!

And the next moment.

Just when the sharp claws were about to tear their bodies apart or smash them into pulp.

The sharp claws stopped!

It stopped just a few centimeters above the back of Jack's head.

"call--"

The strong wind driven by the sharp claws violently blew across Emilia's face, as if the god of death passed by you, and her robe fluttered as she moved, lightly slapping your face.

This feeling of brushing against death made Emilia shudder violently.

Immediately afterwards, with the secretion of a large amount of adrenaline, Emilia's brain, which had been sluggish for two seconds, seemed to have bottomed out and suddenly began to operate at an extremely fast speed.

She almost died just now!

Even in this situation, Jack still ignored her, knocked her down, and used himself as a human shield to cover her body!

But...how is this possible?

You must know that in the impression of Emilia, and even other Hufflepuffs, Jack is a doormat.

He's so soft and can be bullied by anyone.

However, such a doormat is willing to risk his life to protect her?

Staring at Jack's face, which was so close and full of tension and fear, Amelia felt her heart beating extremely fast.

An emotion called touching is brewing in my heart.

However, this touch of emotion, and even the above series of events, with the help of a large amount of adrenaline, it only took a second for Emilia's brain to go through it all, and was quickly suppressed.

Because Amelia has not forgotten that there is a monster beside her and Jack!

Although this monster didn't know why it didn't kill them directly.

But monsters are monsters!

So if you look at it from a third perspective.

The situation at the scene was that just after the monster's claws stopped for 1.5 seconds, Emilia suddenly got up from the ground, and then, while screaming, she grabbed Jack's collar and dragged him with great speed.

He ran towards the door at a fast speed.

"boom--"

Another huge claw fell in front of Emilia, blocking their way.

Emilia's face turned pale when she saw this, but her movements were not slow at all. She gritted her teeth and quickly pulled out the wand from her arms.

She has made up her mind.

Even if it costs your life, you must send Jack to a safe place!

This is not only because Jack saved her just now, but also because it was her impulse that caused the two of them to be in danger tonight!

But just when Amelia had decided to give it a try, she suddenly heard Jack lying on the ground say in a weak voice:

"No...don't attack, that's Norbert...the fire dragon Norbert, he won't hurt us."

"Norbert the Fire Dragon?"

Emilia subconsciously repeated it.

There is a fire dragon named Norbert in Hogwarts, of course she knows that.

But it should be in the dragon farm on the hunting ground!

Why does it appear here?

Just when she was wondering, she saw a huge dragon head suddenly hanging down.

Amelia was startled and almost dragged Jack and ran for her life again.

But the dragon head did not attack them. Instead, it blinked its big eyes and looked at them curiously and friendly.

"Norbert is playing with us. He always likes to scare people like this." Jack said weakly, "Take off the traceless stretching charm bag hanging on my waist. There are snacks in it. Feed it to Norbert.

After that, it won’t trouble us anymore.”

"oh oh!"

A somewhat sluggish Emilia hurriedly followed the instructions and quickly poured all the large amounts of snacks on the ground.

Fire Dragon Norbert let out a strange cheer and started eating.

And Jack wailed:

"Ah - I didn't ask you to pour it all out! Half of that pile of snacks is what I will give to Barney tomorrow!"

As soon as these words came out, Amelia's expression became serious again.

She turned her head in anger and was about to continue teaching Jack that he should be tougher and not give in to the bully Barney every time.

But when she turned around, she saw that Jack hadn't gotten up until now.

Just lying on the ground with a pale face.

This made Emilia anxious instantly.

"Jack! Jack! Are you okay? Are you injured somewhere? Don't worry, I will take you to the school infirmary now..."

Emilia's voice was choked, and she continued to shake Jack as she spoke.

Her strength was so great that Jack, who was lying on the ground, was shaken by her, and he said with a look of pain on his face:

"I... I'm fine, but I'm about to be... shaken out by you."

"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Emilia apologized first, and then said with a slightly distorted expression, "But if...if you are fine, why are you still lying on the ground and unable to get up?

"

Jack sighed and said:

"Because I was so scared that my legs were weak... No, it should be said that my whole body was shaking and weak, and I had no strength at all."

As soon as these words came out, Amelia's expression became even weirder.

She really didn't expect that after doing it for a long time, Jack was just so frightened that he temporarily paralyzed.

But soon, she thought of another thing.

"Jack! Then tell me," Emilia said eagerly, "did you...did you recognize that it was Norbert the Fire Dragon from the beginning?"

"Uh! No, it was so dark here and the situation was so urgent. I really didn't see clearly at the time." Jack said, "But later I was not killed and saw the big claws blocking the road, so I recognized

It turned out to be Norbert's."

Emilia bit her lip nervously and said:

"Then... then why did you save me? Don't you know the danger?"

Hearing this, Jack was stunned for a moment, then shook his head blankly and said:

"I don't know either. I was completely confused at the time. I was so scared... I just felt hot in my head and thought you can't die, and then I subconsciously pounced on you."

At this point, Jack paused and then said weakly, "Amelia, you don't blame me, do you?"
