No one knew what a newborn Norwegian Crestor looked like. Even Hagrid only saw descriptions and pictures in various books.
But this time, everyone knows what this thing looks like.
"A bit...ugly?"
Neville was always the one who spoke his mind.
Everyone looked at the little guy who looked like a crumpled black umbrella swinging and flopping on the table. Although it is very similar to connect it with the legendary mighty and ferocious fire dragon, it is still a bit difficult after all.
The spiny wings looked disproportionately large under the drag of the thin body. The nose is large and the nostrils are white. The sharp dragon horns have not yet grown out, and then there are two dark fleshy bumps. A pair of orange-red eyes full of energy and curiosity protrude outward.
It's not pretty, but it's better than Neville's rifle. At least this little guy has a bright future.
As if he understood Neville's words, Charmander bared his teeth at him, and then sneezed violently. Neville looked at the few sparks in front of him, took two steps back in fear, and distanced himself from it.
Charmander screamed happily as if he had won a battle, making a sound like steel rubbing against each other.
"It's beautiful! It's very energetic!"
Hagrid didn't pay attention to Neville's words at all. He concentrated on looking at the Charmander on the table with a slight obsession. Then he stretched out a hand and touched the Charmander's head.
Charmander looked at the big hand that was covering him, opened his mouth without hesitation, and bit his finger with his fangs.
Harry and Ron subconsciously reached out their hands to stop Hagrid, but the next moment, their movements froze in place.
"Look! Oh my God! He knows his mother!"
Hagrid shouted excitedly.
Everyone:...
Taylor leaned into Luke's ear and whispered: "Hagrid thinks fire dragons are mammals? They don't need to suck milk..."
Luke shook his head slightly, but didn't know how to answer this question...
Hermione was looking at the little thing with a solemn expression.
After taking a deep breath, she brought up the old story again.
"Hagrid, how fast did the Norwegian Crested Dragon grow?"
Hagrid was about to answer when his face suddenly turned pale. He jumped up and ran to the window.
"what happened?"
"Someone peeked through the gap in the curtain just now - it was a boy - running around the school."
Harry rushed to the door and looked out. Even from a distance, he would never make a mistake.
That's Malfoy!
"Draco!"
he shouted.
As soon as his voice came out, Malfoy obviously sped up.
Ron and Neville subconsciously felt that something was wrong. The expression on his face was that of impending disaster.
"He's going to tell!" shouted Ron. "We have to shut him up!"
"But what should we do?" Neville looked troubled, "Malfoy is not an easy guy to deal with."

Just when they were frowning, a light cough sounded.
"cough……"
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and then saw Luke's helpless expression.
"Don't pay too much attention to Malfoy, I'm here."
Luke looked at the situation in front of him and felt helpless. He couldn't understand why Malfoy, who was not on good terms with everyone but not at that level, wanted to run away. I also don't understand why these people in front of me looked like they were mourning after hearing that it was Malfoy who was peeking.
Ron and Neville were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered that yes, they still had Luke to rely on. Malfoy is usually just a little follower of Luke. For everyone, this situation is not incomprehensible.
And with Luke, they no longer have to worry about Malfoy causing trouble.
"So I didn't understand why Draco ran away just now." Harry's face was full of confusion, "It was obvious that he wanted to come in and just knocked on the door."
His relationship with Malfoy is also getting better and better. Although they can't be said to be good friends, they are not so close to each other at first sight that they even have a good relationship.
However, he usually keeps a certain distance from Malfoy, because the grievances between Malfoy and Ron cannot be easily eliminated. After all, they are old enemies, almost blood enemies.
Harry didn't dare to persuade him, he could only wait and see the subsequent development of the two of them.
Thinking of this, Harry also looked at Luke. He always felt that Luke might be able to do something about this matter.
…
"I was suddenly discovered, so I was a little panicked, so I left first." Malfoy said to Luke a little embarrassed, "I wasn't afraid. It was just that when Hagrid's face came closer..."
Seeing that he didn't know how to describe it, Luke gave him a hint: "A feeling of oppression."
"Yes, yes! It just feels oppressive. His face is so oppressive!"
Malfoy said continuously and made an exaggerated expression.
It was as if what he saw was not Hagrid, but some kind of monster.
Taylor looked at his exaggerated expression and turned away at some point. Luke smiled calmly and said, "It's understandable. Harry called you because he wanted you to go in and have a look."
"Really?" Malfoy had a look of pride on his face, "I knew it! It's just that I was a little nervous at the time."
After a while, after Luke watched Malfoy leave, he couldn't help but put his hand between his eyebrows.
And Taylor's green-white fingers deep behind him were rubbing his temples.
"You may not believe it, but I prefer to deal with his father."
After a moment, Luke shook his head and said to Taylor.
Leaving aside Lucius Malfoy's personal strength, after getting to know him over this period of time, he also knew that Lucius's ability to adapt to the situation was certainly despised by some people. But is there anything wrong with this way of survival and life-saving means?
There is no right or wrong, it all depends on your stance. From the Malfoy family's own standpoint, there is nothing wrong with this approach. From Voldemort's point of view, this is called a wise man who knows the current affairs.
It's just a pity that in the end, I was more or less on the wrong team. It proves that although this way of survival is good, it is not a long-term solution.
Compared with other families, although the Malfoy family is rich, it is still somewhat inferior in terms of background. This also leads to the fact that if they take the wrong stance on some things, they will be in danger.
According to the plot development of the original work, it is already good that Lucius saved his wife and children in the end.
He jumped from the aristocracy to a Death Eater, jumped from a Death Eater back to the aristocracy, jumped from the aristocracy back to a Death Eater, and then broke away from the Death Eaters again. Although he lost certain rights, the family was preserved.
I don’t know how Mr. Lucius would place his bet in this world with Luke.
Luke was actually looking forward to meeting during the summer vacation.
"It seems like nothing else happened. I didn't hear anything."
Taylor said softly.
"Normally, that dragon can be hidden for the time being... but according to the growth rate of the Norwegian Crested Dragon, it probably won't be hidden for too long."
Taylor nodded, knowing what Luke meant. After all, things haven't developed to that extent yet, so we can't act haphazardly.
"What did Dumbledore want to see you for this morning?"
She really had a headache now when she heard the name Dumbledore. If Luke encountered any trouble, four or five times out of ten it would be this old guy's fault.
It's okay not to mention this, but Luke's face turned obviously ugly when he mentioned it...
"If you insist on saying it, it's nothing. I just received an invitation."
Luke sorted out his language, and then said: "I received an exchange invitation. Yinfamouni Academy in the United States wants to invite several people from our school to exchange. One of the members named me."
"Coming for you?"
When Taylor heard the name, he was puzzled for a moment. Everyone's communication with each other is not in-depth. For so many years, Yinfumani and Hogwarts have only kept in touch with each other by just knowing each other. Maybe because Hogwarts has a longer history, more people there know about it.
But that's all. Now he suddenly said that he wanted to invite students from Hogwarts to communicate, and even asked Luke to come by name. This little abacus was so calculated that the sound of the abacus could be heard across the Atlantic Ocean.
Luke nodded, and then said: "I have some clues."
After contacting the relationship between myself and there, there are only two points that can be connected.
One is one's own bloodline. The founder of Yinfamoni is a blood descendant of the Gunter family. It is not surprising to see who the heir to the Gunter family who suddenly appears is. Although it is a bit far-fetched. But if Luke insists, he can still be regarded as having certain inheritance rights to Yinfa Mouni.
But even Luke himself thinks this possibility is so low that it can be ignored. Just forget about a little or two of good things. It's impossible to gain such a big fortune all day long.
The gifts left by our ancestors are really enough. No matter how much more, Luke won't have to fight on his own.
As for the second one... wasn't the Slytherin staff he had created by the system itself? Did the system forcefully pull out the wand from Yinfa Moni's snake wood and then put it into his own hand?
What kind of inexplicable trouble is this?
Luke could only shake his head.
"It's hard to refuse..." Taylor thought for a while. Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, it seemed that Luke would not do anything bad if he went. After all, the last descendant of a noble family must be carefully protected wherever he goes. If such a person dies with his head down, he is simply causing big trouble for himself.
That is to say, Dumbledore is big-hearted and powerful, and he is already old, so he doesn't take these things so seriously. So I rarely pay special attention to Luke.
Although there is not much communication between these two guys.
"It's really hard to refuse, and it's not necessarily a bad thing." After saying that, Luke looked at Taylor and said, "Are you interested? I want Dumbledore to include you after all."
This matter started because of him, and it is not too much to say that he decided the list. Moreover, this kind of communication will most likely not be a long-term communication, but will definitely be relatively short in time.
It won't delay anything if you go.
"If you think you need it. It's okay for me to go."
Taylor has a very clear positioning of himself. He follows Luke, handles some things, and doesn't need to think too much about others. She is not superstitious about the future, but she is superstitious about her grandma.
Luke nodded and began to weigh the pros and cons.
Just like Luke said, Charmander grows up incredibly fast.
It is growing almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, making people wonder if growing taller and stronger is really such an easy thing?
With the idea of verifying such a thing, Ron and Neville gained a lot of weight in three days.
"I suspect that the two of them are just looking for excuses for themselves to eat secretly."
Harry and Luke sighed helplessly.
"I think your suspicion is unnecessary."
Malfoy said ruthlessly from the side.
Luke didn't speak, just shook his head.
Before they even entered Hagrid's hut, they heard Hermione's voice.
"It has to go!"
The three of them opened the door, and what they saw in front of them was still a familiar scene.
A week later, Charmander has tripled its original length. What came out of the mouth was no longer harmless sparks, but thick smoke that already contained considerable heat. Harry even saw a little orange fire from its throat.
I guess the flames are not far away.
One of the costs of such a growth rate is that there are now empty brandy bottles and chicken feathers on the floor of the hut.
Of course, there is also Hagrid's hair and beard, which are several times messier.
"I can't!" Hagrid looked at Charmander jumping up and down with tears in his eyes, "He's still too young!"
Luke looked at the guy who was having fun on the ground and was still pressing his paws on his teeth in the corner. He didn't know what to say for a while.
"I decided to call him Norbert!" Hagrid's eyes were filled with runny nose and tears. Malfoy couldn't help but take two steps back and put some distance away from Hagrid, who was blowing his nose with the curtains open.
"He really knows me now! Look. Noble! Noble! Where is mom!"
Now Hagrid looked like this, let alone Malfoy, even Harry could hardly stand it anymore.
"Hagrid!" Harry raised his voice, "In two weeks, Nob will be as long as your house! No one will be able to hide it by then!"
"Let me correct you, it's not two weeks. According to his growth cycle, it should be a while longer than your house... but it will only take about 15 days before it starts wreaking havoc with excess energy."
Luke said seriously: "He will become as tall as a calf. At that time, you will either let him go hunting and be discovered by others, or you will have to wait for him to destroy your house and be discovered by others."
"It's time to end it, Hagrid!"
