Chapter 51 Draco: Today Is Really Worth It
After wrapping Abe in the invisibility cloak, Harry and the others walked out of the hall.
They looked around carefully and made sure that no one was paying attention to them, so they walked towards Hagrid's cabin without stopping.
But as soon as they walked outside the castle, they were spotted by Draco and his two followers who were taking a walk.
"Where are you going?" Draco blocked the road and asked meaningfully, "The common room is not here."
"None of your business." Ron said this and pushed Draco away, and quickly walked through the corridor with Harry and Hermione who looked a little guilty.
"It's really rude." Crabbe said indignantly.
Draco also had a little bit of annoyance on his face. If it was normal, he would definitely give Weasley a hard time, but he has grown a lot during this period.
Weasley can be uncultured, but Malfoy can't be.
"What are they doing outside the castle at night?" Goyle asked in confusion, "It's almost curfew!"
"What can they do?" Draco smiled disdainfully, "Outside the castle is the giant forest guard who is related to them, and that's the only place they could go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Draco's face became a little strange, "Very suspicious! What are they doing there at night?"
"Maybe they are going to reminisce about the past!" Crabbe didn't think too much, after all, Harry and the other three did have a good relationship with Hagrid.
"No!" Draco began to pace slowly. "If we want to reminisce about the past, there is no need to do it at this time. There is not much time left before curfew. If we cannot get back to the dormitory in time, we will be deducted points.
And they seemed to be a little sneaky just now, as if they had done something shameful.
The most important thing is that I did not see Abe. Aaron must have given his cat to that Hermione Granger.
There is a problem, absolutely a problem."
Crabbe asked hesitantly: "Then... let's follow them and see?"
"Don't be funny, it's almost curfew now." Goyle said weakly, "Going back to sleep is the serious matter. What if we can't make it?"
"Then hurry back before curfew." Draco said meaningfully, "It's not a problem to be faster."
Crabbe and Goyle looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
Because they knew the destination, Draco and the other two were not so anxious and walked slowly towards Hagrid's hut.
On the other side, Harry and others ran to Hagrid's hut breathlessly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three of them kept knocking on the wooden door.
A few seconds later, Hagrid opened the door. When he saw Harry and the other two, his expression was somewhat helpless, "Hey! Sorry, don't blame me for being rude. I don't have time to play with you today."
Just as Hagrid was about to close the door, Harry took out Abe, who had been wrapped in the invisibility cloak, and said, "You might want this."
Hagrid's eyes lit up, and he looked at the sleeping white cat with interest in his eyes, "Did you really do it?"
"I think you have to invite us in." Ron said playfully.
"Of course, come in quickly."
The three of them entered the hut and found that the temperature was particularly high, and the heat was suffocating.
"It's spring now, why is your fire still burning so vigorously?" Hermione asked in confusion.
"That's not important." Hagrid enthusiastically made tea for the three of them, and a big hand couldn't help but grab the sleeping Abe.
"Wait!" Harry stopped Hagrid, "We brought the cat, shouldn't you also tell us who else participated in the design of the mechanism to protect the Philosopher's Stone?"
"I can tell you, and I keep my word.
But you must not tell anyone, let alone say that I told you." Hagrid said reluctantly, counting his fingers, "Dumbledore, he borrowed Fluffy from me and cast a spell.
In addition to him, there are Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick... Oh, and Professor Quirrell.
That's all, then Abe, shouldn't you let me see it too?"
Hermione hesitantly put the cat in her arms on the table, "Let me make it clear first, you can only look at it, you can also touch it, but you must not hurt it."
"Don't worry, I will never hurt animals." Hagrid said seriously, "I just want to study what kind of creature Abe is."
What Hagrid didn't know was that when he said this, Draco and his two followers just came to the wooden house.
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, with a little shock in their eyes.
"It's really not in vain today!" Draco sneered, "I thought Granger was Aaron's good friend!
I didn't expect it! You can't judge a person by his appearance."
"This is a shameful betrayal." Crabbe said angrily, his round face became a little distorted.
"Normal!
After spending so much time with Weasley and the savior Harry Potter, it seems natural to learn bad things. "Draco waved his hand and said in a low voice, "The most urgent thing now is to notify Aaron to come over. It's best to catch him in the act, otherwise they will never admit it.
I'll stay here and rush in to protect Abe when necessary. You two should go back and call him."
"But curfew is coming soon." Goyle hesitated a little, "It's definitely too late to go back and forth."
"Stupid!" Draco said angrily, "Filch is the only one patrolling the huge Hogwarts at night. As long as he doesn't catch us, everything will be fine.
Besides, I'm Malfoy. Even if I'm caught, he won't do anything to me. At most, he will deduct points.
Go quickly, it may be too late if you're late. "
Draco's attitude was extremely firm, so Crabbe and Goyle naturally didn't dare to raise any objections.
They themselves were very disgusted with the behavior of Harry and the other two. After quietly leaving Hagrid's hut, they burst out with a speed that they couldn't usually reach and ran towards the dormitory.
Draco was a little surprised when he saw this, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He even wondered if these two followers were pretending to be him. This was not the speed that a fat man could show!
At this time, a strange sound came from the hut, attracting Draco's attention.
Ding! Ding! Ding...
The sound of a pot lid hitting Suddenly, Hagrid stood up from his seat.
The three of them looked behind Hagrid, and there was a pot shaking on the raging fire.
Hagrid, wearing a pair of thick gloves, fished out a burnt egg from the pot.
The egg was a bit big, and the surface was hot. Even with a pair of gloves, Hagrid felt it was particularly hot and quickly put it on the table.
No one noticed that Abe, who was originally sleeping, suddenly moved his nose at this moment, as if he smelled something delicious, and slowly opened his sleepy eyes.
"Hagrid, what is this?" Harry asked curiously.
"This is a, a..."
"I know what this is." Ron said, and then his face became strange, "But Hagrid, how did you get it?"
"I won it from a stranger." Hagrid's eyes turned slightly, "I don't know why, he seems to be eager to lose to me. "
As soon as the voice fell, a black crack appeared on the surface of the eggshell, the whole egg kept shaking, and white steam spewed out from the crack.
Four people, no, including Draco outside the window, all five of them held their breath and watched this scene nervously.
A few seconds later, the eggshell shattered, and the fragments of the upper part shot out in all directions. Fortunately, the four people surrounding the egg were not hit by these hot egg pieces.
A black claw poked out from the lower part of the eggshell, and a thorny wing was connected to the claw.
The wings waved gently a few times, sweeping away most of the egg pieces on the table, and a black baby dragon appeared in front of everyone.
This dragon is not very beautiful, with a head only the size of a fist, because it had just hatched from the egg and its body was still wet.
It made a soft cry and looked around blankly, with long mucus hanging from the corners of its mouth, but it showed strong vitality and moved its limbs on the table.
"Is this a, a dragon? "Hermione looked at Hagrid in astonishment.
She knew that there were dragons in the magic world and had seen them in books, but a living dragon appeared in front of her. In addition to feeling lucky and surprised, she was more at a loss.
"It's not just a dragon, it's a Norwegian Ridgeback." Ron said confidently, "My brother is studying dragons in Romania."
"It's beautiful, isn't it!" Hagrid smiled gently, then stretched out his finger and touched the head of the Norwegian Ridgeback. "Look at this little guy, it thinks I'm its mother.
Right, Norbert."
Hagrid had just finished naming the dragon when his Norbert sneezed, and a ball of dragon flames spurted out of its nose, burning a large area of Hagrid's thick beard.
