On the last day of the school year, Harry, Hermione, and Draco came to Hagrid's cabin.
"Oh my god, I can't even imagine how big it is now," Draco said, looking forward to it. He hadn't seen Norbert for a long time and felt itchy in his heart.
After Harry woke up, Norbert was handed over to Hagrid. He was still too young, and being confined for a long time would be harmful.
"When a dragon reaches the juvenile stage, its growth rate will slow down a lot, and it won't be much bigger than before," Hermione said.
Draco glanced at Hermione and instinctively wanted to retort but stopped: "Uh... okay!"
The door of the cabin was opened, and Hagrid's huge body appeared. He saw Harry and the three of them and quickly adjusted his clothes: "Wait for me."
After a while, he put on a coat sewn with unknown leather and led a few people towards the Forbidden Forest.
Along the way, Hagrid happily shared with a few people the recent growth of little Norbert. Although he was not much bigger in size, he had definitely grown a lot stronger.
Sure enough, when several people, led by Hagrid, went deep into the Forbidden Forest, they saw Norbert, who was big and strong, and even the scales on his body were shiny.
Harry could finally tell... He wasn't just getting stronger, he was also getting fatter.
As soon as Norbert saw Harry, he scurried up to him and rubbed against him affectionately.
"Good boy." Harry scratched the scales on his head. Then Draco and Norbert were allowed to play around, and he looked at Hagrid seriously.
"Hagrid, what did Dumbledore say about dragons?"
"Dumbledore hasn't said anything yet... He has never mentioned this matter." Hagrid said a little uncertainly. He looked at Harry's eyes with fear and worry.
He was afraid that Harry would find another reason why he couldn't refuse and ask him to send the dragon away.
"Okay, then I don't care... but I can give it an order not to leave the Forbidden Forest." Harry could only nod helplessly.
Returning to the auditorium, several people were surprised to find Slytherin's silver and green flag flying over the auditorium.
The school year dinner was about to begin.
Harry once thought that he would be reluctant to give up his life at school, but when the day finally arrived, he found that... he was not so reluctant to give up.
After all, the house hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and it's been a long time since Mr. Lucifer and Uncle Felix were heard bickering with each other.
It seems... I can't wait for the holidays to come.
Moreover, he and Hermione are actually not that far apart. If they have time, they can hang out or exchange information on their study progress during the holidays.
Hermione didn't know if she was stimulated by Harry in the Gryffindor common room that night. She works much harder now than before.
Although Harry has been advising her not to read books all the time, to do more activities, and to be practical with herself.
But Hermione just couldn't do it.
Obviously, the two have developed completely different study habits.
The sky was getting dark, the auditorium gradually became lively, and the dinner party soon started. Felix came to the guest of honor table again and saw Snape, who was in a good mood, at a glance.
It seemed that he was also happy that the Great Hall was filled with Slytherin flags.
But as soon as he saw Felix, Severus' smile weakened a bit.
——Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Just thinking about this makes him feel bad!
Not long after, everyone had almost arrived. Dumbledore tapped the wine glass with a spoon, making a tinkling sound that was inexplicably amplified and could be clearly heard throughout the auditorium.
"Another year has passed!" Dumbledore stood up and said happily: "Before you enjoy these delicious dishes, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's cliché..."
Felix stopped listening to the clichés and clinked glasses with Hagrid under the table.
While he was drinking, he suddenly heard Snape cough slightly.
"Now, as far as I know, we must first conduct the Academy Cup award ceremony..." Dumbledore's voice sounded.
"The specific scores of each college are as follows:
Fourth place: Hufflepuff, 352 points;
Third place: Ravenclaw, 426 points,
Second place: Gryffindor, 452 points;
First place: Slytherin, 472 points!!"
The audience suddenly burst into applause, and Snape shook hands with everyone, with an unwavering smile on his face.
It even made Felix wonder if the cough just now was intentional...
This year, both Slytherin and Gryffindor each have a point-boosting machine.
The one in Gryffindor was Hermione. She raised her hands crazily to answer questions in every class, and even though Gryffindor had already escaped the negative effects of easily deducting points, she still reached second place.
Slytherin's score-boosting machine is called Harry Potter.
Snape often used him to score points in Potions class...
Well, that's it.
The harvest was very rich, Slytherin got at least 100% from him.
"What a pity..." Harry sighed helplessly.
He had tried his best and even refused Dumbledore's extra points!
But even so, Gryffindor still didn't catch up.
Such a college cup... it's really no fun to hold it...
Well... He didn't want to pretend to be noble, at least it was a festive event, and then he and Malfoy had a glass - and drank orange juice!
The next day, the report card came out. Harry ranked first in the grade, and Hermione ranked second.
On the way back, Harry looked at the skinny black Pegasus and stuffed a small dried fish into his mouth.
"Oh!" he sighed.
"What?!" Hermione and Draco looked confused.
"The Thestral is a type of Pegasus. I actually saw it, probably because of Quirrell." Harry sighed: "I think this is definitely the most handsome Pegasus. Let me add, its head is very similar to a dragon's head."
"Oh!" Draco suddenly became interested when he heard the word dragon: "Why can't I see it? How did you see it? What does it have to do with Quirrell?"
"Only those who have witnessed death can see it." Harry explained, but as soon as he finished speaking, Draco suddenly shuddered.
"Uh... forget it."
Soon, they were on the train. When they arrived in London, it was already dark.
Before getting off the train, Draco looked at Harry in the aisle.
"You'd better not slack off at all during the holidays!"
"I expect you to catch up with me, so if you can do it, go ahead." Harry shot back.
After getting off the train, they quickly saw Chris and Uncle Felix on the platform and joined them.
The human-faced Felix.
"I miss you so much," Chris said, "Let's go, your mother has been waiting in the restaurant for a long time."
After dinner, Felix was about to take Harry directly back to Privet Drive, but Chris stopped him.
"Felix, I have something else for you!"
With that said, Chris hurriedly ran back to the car, and not long after, he came back with three records.
"I found those recently and I think you have to listen to them," Chris said.
Felix looked at the old records.

Ah…
This is quite nice surprise.
