"Even if the matter is urgent, you still need to tell me what happened first?"
Outside the Slytherin break room, Lucas followed Draco suspiciously.
"Hurry up, you will miss it if you're late!"
"What's the hurry?"
"Dragon, the Norwegian Ridgeback is about to break its shell!"
Lucas shook off Draco's hand and stopped his steps.
"If it's watching a big lizard break its shell, then I'm not interested.
"Hey, that's rude of you, that's a dragon, not a lizard!"
Hearing Lucas describing the dragon as a lizard, Draco expressed great dissatisfaction.
Just when he was planning to correct the other party's wrong thinking.
Finding that Lucas, who was about to go back, stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just thought you'd cause trouble if you went alone, and that dragon is too dangerous at school."
"Then what do you mean..."
Lucas didn't continue to answer, but turned around and walked towards the exit of the dungeons.
Seeing him like this, Draco couldn't understand.
"Wait for me, I'll show you the way!"
Lucas wasn't that kind.
He just thought that Harry and the others would be punished and need to patrol the Forbidden Forest because of this incident.
Such a great opportunity, of course Lucas didn't want to miss it.
The Forbidden Forest is a great place, inside of it there are countless herbs and hundreds of magical creatures.
It is simply a super big treasure chest containing countless treasures.
Besides, he still has the achievement of exploring the Forbidden Forest to complete.
To this end, Lucas also specifically called Hermione out.
In the original, several people found Draco peeking from outside the window.
Worried that Hagrid's secret of raising the dragon would be exposed, they had no choice but to send it away.
But now Draco obviously won't do that.
Then it's up to Lucas and Hermione to do the persuasion.
The three came outside the castle and successfully joined Harry and Weasley.
When he saw Lucas coming towards them, Ron subconsciously backed a bit.
Although there was no evidence, Ron's intuition told him that last flying lesson, it was Lucas who put a spell on his broom.
As a result, he lay in the infirmary for a day, and had to endure the pain of bone healing.
"Harry, what are they doing here?."
Looking at the unhappy expression of his friend, Harry smiled and comforted: "Come on, Lucas is Draco's and my friend.
While speaking, Lucas' group had already walked in front of Harry and saw Ron Weasley's disgusted expression.
Lucas frowned: "Mr. Ron Weasley, is your injury healed? Be careful in the future, broomsticks are also very dangerous.
"you..."
Seeing Ron's flushed face Draco covered his mouth and snickered, while Harry kept smoothing things over and trying to make jokes.
The atmosphere on both sides became much more relaxed, so they walked towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest together.
On the way, Harry mentioned the special gift he received during the Christmas holiday, the Invisibility Cloak, and about his suspicions about Snape.
"I was standing next to Snape that day, he couldn't see me because of the invisibility cloak, but I could hear him clearly, he was threatening Professor Quirrell."
"Harry, Snape is a professor of the school, he will not do anything that harms the interests of the school."
Lucas couldn't help reminding him, but the stubborn Harry decided that Snape was the villain.
"No, Snape was too suspicious, and then I went out again at night, at the door of an empty classroom, and heard Professor Quirrell's cry from inside."
"He must have been unable to withstand Snape's torture, so he surrendered!"
Harry had just finished speaking when Ron went on to say, "The last Quidditch match, it was Snape who cursed Harry's broom."
He looked specifically at Lucas and Draco as he said this, there is also a hint of gloating on his face.
Reminded by Ron, Hermione and the others also remembered what had happened on the Quidditch pitch.
"So, Professor Snape was indeed suspicious, and it couldn't be a coincidence that Harry's broom immediately stabilized when we ignited his robes."
Hermione looked at Lucas beside her after speaking, wanting to hear his opinion.
Lucas, on the other hand, looked at Draco.
He'd heard that he was also responsible for burning Professor Snape's robes that day.
"I, I don't really dare to believe it, but it is indeed a bit suspicious."
When he said this sentence, his expression was very tangled.
'Merlin, Draco Malfoy, Snape and your father are good friends and he's even your godfather, is it really okay for you to doubt him so much?'
He complained silently in his heart.
Lucas gave ambiguous answers.
"I reserve my opinion, sometimes those who look bad, actually have a good heart."
"And those guys who seem harmless to humans and animals, maybe they are murderous demons behind their backs?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ron Weasley made fun of him.
"Oh, Lucas, you're very kind, and you look quite harmless."
Fortunately, at this time, everyone had already arrived outside Hagrid's hut.
Upon seeing Hagrid open the door everyone tacitly stopped talking about Snape.
"Oh~ you are here, come quickly, the little dragon is about to break its shell!"
For the arrival of everyone, Hagrid was very happy.
This big man with a height of more than three meters likes dangerous creatures very much.
He also called those dangerous creatures cuties, but if you think about it carefully, for his size, most dangerous creatures are cuties.
Inviting them to take seats, Hagrid looked at Lucas and Hermione and asked, "Are you new friends?"
"Hagrid, this is Lucas, and beside him is Hermione Granger."
"Oh!" Hagrid's eyes widened in surprise.
"Are you Lucas Grindelwald?"
Seeing Lucas nod, Hagrid smiled and said, "I've heard of you, or everyone at school has heard of you."
"Dumbledore also said that you are a very interesting little guy, nice to meet you, my name is Rubeus Hagrid, gamekeeper."
After introducing each other Hagrid couldn't wait to walk to the fireplace.
A dragon egg the size of a football is stored there, he pulled it out of the fire when he heard a crack and put it on the table.
"Look, the little guy is about to break his shell!"
Everyone immediately stepped forward to stare at the dragon egg that kept moving on the table.
Accompanied by a crisp sound a crack appeared at the top of the dragon egg.
Just when everyone was about to exclaim, a small dragon head broke out of the shell.
"Oh, the little guy is out, mommy is so happy, come on, crawl out of this eggshell hard."
Lucas frowned, looking at Hagrid with distaste.
He really couldn't stand a strong man three meters tall exuding maternal love for a palm-sized baby dragon.
He even started crying with joy when he saw the baby dragon fully emerging from the egg.
'Merlin! Come and take this monster away!'
Thankfully Hagrid's tears only lasted a short time.
Soon he turned back to the old rough looking guy.
Looking at the Norwegian Ridgeback in the palm of his hand, it was as if Hagrid saw a rare treasure.
"Hagrid, let us see it too!"
Draco stood on tiptoe and looked up at the half giant's palm.
Hagrid smiled shyly, and put the baby dragon on the round table.
"Merlin, it's so beautiful!"
"How big do you think it can grow?"
"What a beautiful cutie."
The reactions of the three of them made Hagrid very happy.
This strong man with giant blood is really innocent sometimes (stupid?)
Lucas and Hermione looked helplessly at the few people who had fallen into obsession.
Listen to what they said? Cutie?
This little cutie will be able to swallow their heads in one gulp after a month.
This little cutie can start a monstrous fire with just a breath!
When he saw the idiot group still commenting on the young dragon, Lucas coughed deliberately.
"Should we give this young dragon a name?"
Several people suddenly realized.
Draco looked at the baby dragon and said, "How about calling it 'Duke'? I've been thinking about that name for a long time.
"No!" Harry shook his head: "I think 'Locke' is fine."
Obviously, this name is not recognized by everyone.
Then Ron and Hermione had a few more suggestions, but they are all popular names.
It is worth mentioning that Hermione named several of them and also included "Crookshanks".
It seems she has wanted a pet for a long time.
As the master of the young dragon, Hagrid vetoed everyone's name.
He thought hard for a long time, and finally said the representative name "Norbert".
Lucas saw several people around the young dragon yelling "Norbert" and cooing at it.
He patted his forehead helplessly.
"Draco, are you reading all those books for nothing? This Norwegian Ridgeback is obviously a female dragon, and the name Norbert is not suitable for her."
Hearing what Lucas said, Hagrid immediately held the baby dragon in his hand to observe.
Finally, he had to admit that Lucas was right.
Seeing them falling into the trouble of naming again, Lucas sighed, "How about just calling her Noberta?"
[Congratulations to the host for completing the new achievement: Dragon and Elf; reward: 20 achievement points.]
The baby dragon seems to like the name Lucas told.
She let out a cry, and crawled along the table to sniff Lucas' elf scent.
With the issue of naming resolved, now they need to discuss the fate of the young dragon.
Hearing Lucas say to send Norberta away, Hagrid hastily shook his head and refused to agree.
Even though Noberta burned his beard with a dragon breath, Hagrid did not put the dragon down.
The same goes for Harry and others, who felt that it was too cruel to send the newborn Norberta into the wild.
"Hey, you have to understand that the Ministry of Magic has a clear regulation that no person is allowed to raise a dragon without permission."
"If found out, Hagrid may have to leave Hogwarts forever and could even be sent to Askaban."
Lucas' words made them all frown.
Hearing them talking, Hermione immediately understood what they were thinking.
"Don't take chances. It only takes one month for Norberta to grow bigger than this house."
"At that time, what are you going to do with her?"
"Oh no, Nobeta, mommy can't bear leaving you." Hagrid cried bitterly while hugging the baby dragon.
Lucas' eardrums hurt from his crying so he turned his head to the window, trying to distract himself.
Coincidentally, there was a human face looking at them by the window.
"who's there!"
Hearing Lucas yelling, the people outside the house immediately fled to the distance.
Looking at that figure running away, Draco frowned: "Oops, it's Angus Selwyn, my sworn enemy, he will definitely tell the professors about Norberta."
Lucas stood up from his seat and said in a resolute tone: "Hagrid, Norberta must be sent away, otherwise you both will be in danger."
Lucas applauded the Selwyn boy in his heart, he appeared just in time.
For fear of Selwyn's reporting what he saw, Hagrid was forced to agree to send Norberta away.
But where to send her became the problem, they can't just find a place to throw her in the wild.
Lucas actually knew the solution, but with the relationship between him and Ron, it is really impossible to say it.
So he reminded him on the sidelines: "It would be great if someone had the permission to raise dragons."
"Charlie! Ron's big brother Charlie Weasley raises dragons in Romania!"
Harry was quick to respond.
When everyone heard his words, they looked at Ron.
Ron, who was in the spotlight for the first time, immediately patted his chest and made a promise to Hagrid.
On the way back to the dormitory, the trio of Harry and the two loudmouths were still chatting about dragons.
Lucas noticed that the eyes of the people in the portraits were looking at them vaguely, trying to appear subtle but clearly paying attention to their conversation.
Dumbledore should have known by now that his savior boy was in danger.
So, is Dumbledore also involved in this matter?
Lucas put the question to the back of his mind for a moment.
All he needs to do is follow Harry and the others, and then they will be punished by being sent to the Forbidden Forest.
'Quirrellmort, we will meet again soon!.'
