"Do you need so much?" Hagrid felt a little distressed.
"Be prepared," Ivey replied.
Looking at the slightly sluggish baby dragon, Ivey took out a large piece of honey-glazed steak from the bag and placed it in front of it. The little guy smelled it, took a tentative bite, and then bit into the steak like a starving ghost.
Keep shaking until the meat juice is everywhere.
"Ivy, why do you need so much dragon blood?" Hermione asked
"Irene wants to use it. Just so you said Hagrid has it, so I came to ask."
"That steak looks good, do you have any more? Give me a piece." Ron's attention was always on eating.
Ivey rolled her eyes at him and handed him a piece.
"Hagrid, does the Norwegian Ridgeback grow fast?" Hermione asked, looking at the young dragon feasting on its meal.
"It's relatively fast, because -" The voice stopped suddenly, and Hagrid was seen striding to the window.
"What's going on?" Harry asked confused.
"Someone was peeking through the window here just now - it was a boy."
Hagrid's words reminded Harry of Malfoy's behavior of eavesdropping in class. He jumped to the door and looked out - the thin figure with the golden slicked back was Malfoy, and he would never admit it.
!
"What should I do? Malfoy has discovered the fire dragon. He will definitely report us!" Ron said anxiously. The steak in his hand no longer tasted good.
"There's no rush, don't worry for now." Ivey is like a reassurance, always able to give them advice when they are at a loss.
"Why?"
"If he goes to report, someone will believe him~ Just like if you want to report on Quirrell, will anyone believe you?"
"We really have no evidence. But this is different. Hagrid really has a fire dragon!" Hermione was still very nervous.
"Then let the fire dragon disappear. As long as no one finds the fire dragon in this room, Hagrid can get rid of contact." Ivy continued, "The easiest thing is, Hagrid, hide it in the Forbidden Forest and check it every now and then."
"
"No!" Hagrid refused before Harry and the others could express their opinions. "Norbert is too small and will die if left unattended."
"Uh - who's Norbert?"
"This fire dragon ~ I just named it"
"..."
"If it doesn't work, I'll tell my mother and let her go there first. You can bring it back after the storm has passed."
"Irene? That's even worse! She can't even take care of people, let alone dragons."
"..." Ivey
He sighed, "In this case, there is another way. If you are not satisfied, there is nothing I can do."
"you say"
"Ron"
"Um?"
"What does your brother do?"
"My brother?" Ron didn't respond.
"Yes! Charlie." Harry was suddenly awakened. "Ron, we can find your brother Charlie. Isn't he studying fire dragons in Romania? We can give Norbert to take care of him - what about Hagrid? There's no need to worry about that.
Norbert will die in the wild."
"That's good, but we haven't been together for a few days. Just send it away like this - I - I -" Hagrid said with tears about to flow out.
"It's not like I'm sending you away immediately. Romania is far away from here, and it takes a long time to send a message. It's long enough for you to get along." Ron said impatiently.
"Okay - just do it this way"
"Okay - I'll contact Charlie, let's wait for the news first."
————
Romania is indeed very far away. After the message was sent, it was nowhere to be found for four or five days until Thursday night. Inside the restaurant
"Charlie wrote back," Ron said mysteriously.
"How is it?" Harry asked hurriedly
"The institute can take Norbert in. He asked us to send Norbert to the highest tower at midnight next Saturday and be picked up by his friends." After saying that, he also reminded, "We have to make a decision as soon as possible. Charlie has to wait."
With our reply, he will also contact us in advance."
"Midnight?" The timing of the handover made Hermione very embarrassed.
"It's okay Hermione, we have the invisibility cloak." But Harry was not worried.
"But the Invisibility Cloak can't cover so many of us," Hermione said
"Then Harry and Ron will go. You and Norbert should be about the same," Ivy said.
"I think we can get another one." Ron calculated the size.
"That dragon has grown so fast. It has doubled in size in just three or four days. Who knows what it will look like next Saturday. There must be enough space." Ivey said that we should look at the problem from a development perspective.
"Okay, it's settled. We'll go find Hagrid in the evening and tell him the plan. Ron, you'll write back to Charlie after dinner." Harry said to everyone.
"I won't go. It's more convenient if you have an invisibility cloak. Although I can move around freely, I will arouse others' suspicion." Ivey didn't want to get involved in such a thankless thing.
"OK, leave it to us"
————
The time passed smoothly while waiting, but things would always develop beyond expectations. No, Ron was bitten by it when he was feeding Norbert last night. When he got up the next day, his hand had swollen twice as big. Originally
He didn't want to go to Madam Pomfrey yet, but by the afternoon, Ron's whole hand had turned green.
"Are you allergic to Norbert?" Ivy looked at his green hands as he helped Ron to the infirmary.
"Maybe it's its saliva." Ron was in good spirits and in a joking mood.
After handing Ron to Madam Pomfrey, the group went back. They still had classes to attend.
It wasn't until evening that a few people came to see Ron again. Ivey also brought a lot of delicious food.
"You're finally here. I'm going to be annoyed to death by Madam Pomfrey!" Ron said with a saved expression on his face.
"She doesn't believe you?" Harry said with a smile.
"Of course I don't believe it! Is there any dog that can make people turn green?" Ron was very excited.
"It's okay, it will be over after this Saturday" Hermione comforted
"I hope~" Ron thought the same, "Oh, by the way! Just now Malfoy found an excuse to come in and laugh at me." Ron gritted his teeth with hatred, "He threatened me and said that he knew what bit me and said he was going to kill me."
He reported me to Madam Pomfrey and took away my books."
"What book?" Hermione asked
"That's the one that's hidden -" Ron suddenly stopped and sat up from the bed.
"It's over!"
"What's wrong?" Harry felt that Norbert's saliva might contain neurotoxins, and Ron's brain was poisoned.
"Shit! That reply to me from Charlie is in the book Malfoy borrowed! He must know by now that we're going to take Norbert away on Saturday -" Ron said hoarsely
"You guys, just burn it after reading it. Why keep it?" Hermione was speechless.
"I forgot!" Ron covered his face in pain
"You have to leave, he needs more rest." Madam Pomfrey walked in at this time.
"It's okay Ron, we'll find a way, you have a good rest," Ivy said.
"Yes, just leave it to us." Harry and Hermione also comforted him.
Leave the lounge
"What should I do? Now the situation is even worse. It was just Ron who couldn't go, and now Malfoy has discovered it." Hermione also had a headache.
"It's too late to change the plan now. We don't have time to send another message. This is the only chance." Harry said.
"Then the plan remains unchanged! If not, just go to trouble, Harry and I will go. As for Malfoy, even if he knows the specific time, it won't be a big problem. Anyway, we will be wearing an invisibility cloak and be more cautious, so we won't be discovered.
"Avi said to the two of them
"Okay, let's go find Hagrid now and tell him the arrangement." Harry took the lead and ran towards the Forbidden Forest.
When they arrived at the door, they found Hagrid sitting in front of the door with Yaya, and the door was closed. Yaya's tail was still wrapped with a bandage, and the corners of Hagrid's trousers were turned into strips of cloth.
"What's going on? What are you doing sitting here?" Harry ran closer.
"It's nothing. Norbert is a little irritable right now. Don't go in. If you have anything to say, just talk here."
While they were discussing the plan, Betty walked to the window of the cabin, stood on tiptoes and looked inside.
"Then it's agreed, Hagrid. You find a box and pack it, and then we send it to the top of the tower."
