In addition to having a hard time keeping secrets, Hagrid also has a talent for naming magical creatures.

This time is no exception.

The name Norbert does sound good, but this is a female dragon... What's the difference between this and a little girl named Tiedan?

It was a good thing it didn't understand, otherwise it would have sprayed dragon flames onto Hagrid's beard.

"Hagrid, I think this name is a bit inappropriate, called Zhuo... Uh, what are you doing..."

Just when Kyle was about to choose a new name, he saw Hagrid covering Norbert's ears and looking at him nervously.

"Don't tell me, Kyle, it's called Norbert..."

Hagrid was really nervous.

He thought of the owl named Rodan, which no longer recognized him after Kyle changed his name.

He was worried that it would be the same this time.

"Its name is Norbert..." Hagrid repeated, covering his hands more tightly.

But his hand was so big that it almost covered Norbert's entire head.

The little guy with his head grabbed was completely stunned. After he came to his senses, he started kicking his legs and flapping his wings on the table.

Finally, he simply blew out a breath of dragon fire. The flame landed on Hagrid's hand, causing him to gasp in pain.

There was a burning smell all around, but even so, Hagrid did not let go of his hand and continued to stare at Kyle with a nervous face.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Kyle also guessed what Hagrid was thinking.

In order to avoid being kicked out, he tactfully stopped talking.

Let's just call him Norbert. He is still young now and can't remember it. At worst, he can just change it after a while.

Anyway, Hagrid couldn't keep it forever.

Hagrid obviously had no idea what Kyle was thinking. After hearing his assurance, he let go of Norbert and quickly went to a large barrel full of water and put his hand in.

Kyle laughed and said, "You're too nervous, and now it doesn't understand the meaning of the name."

But Hagrid didn't say anything. Instead, he changed the subject abruptly, "I never knew dragons liked to eat fish. The book says their favorite food is sheep."

"Whoever wrote that book probably had it in mind for the Australian White Eye, which loves to eat Australian sheep and also loves to drink brandy."

Kyle raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, other fire dragons are similar. Sheep and cattle are their main food."

"But the Norwegian Ridgeback is different. Because of the environment in which it grows, it is the only fire dragon that will find food in the water."

Hagrid threw the book "Raising Dragons for Pleasure and Profit" aside in annoyance. "I really should read a different book... This one is all wrong."

"It's just a small part. Most of the content is fine." Kyle said, "Or you can borrow a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It has a detailed introduction to the Norwegian Ridgeback."

…

Hagrid could be said to be doting on Norbert.

In the next few days, all the dead minks on the shelf outside his cabin disappeared, and were replaced by whole beef legs and carefully processed fish.

And these fish are all very large, even the smallest one is over a foot long.

During this period, in addition to Kyle, Harry and his friends also came here often, but they stayed in the dim hut most of the time, presenting facts and reasoning to Hagrid, persuading him to send the dragon away.

Hermione repeated what she had said countless times before, "In two weeks, it will be as big as the house. You won't be able to hide it!"

"I know, but that's still too early, isn't it?" Hagrid said vaguely, "It's still too young. What if it gets bullied in the wild? I'm worried."

Norbert looked at them, tilted his head to look at Kyle, and called out in confusion.

"Oh, they are discussing what to eat for the next meal." Kyle touched the scales on its neck and whispered, "How about Tebo warthog leg, with some corn and cabbage."

Norbert let out a cry of dissatisfaction and began to roll on the ground.

"No, you must eat all of these things. Even if you are a fire dragon, you can't just eat meat."

On the other side, Hagrid was still arguing with Harry and the others for the custody of Norbert, and none of them noticed anything unusual on Kyle's side.

"Malfoy has found it." Harry advised: "This is too dangerous, Hagrid."

Hagrid shook his head. "But Kyle said before that the window was very small. He might not have seen it at all."

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on Kyle in the corner.

"Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me."

Kyle said quickly: "That's just a possibility. Given Malfoy's character, if he really saw the dragon, he would have reported it to the professor long ago. He would not have endured it until now.

Of course, it could also be that he wanted to use this news to threaten Harry...it's all possible."

"Did you hear that, Hagrid?" Harry raised his voice. "None of us can guarantee that Malfoy didn't see it. He could go to Dumbledore at any time."

"And it's illegal to keep a dragon." Hermione said, "If Dumbledore knew, how disappointed he would be..."

"Perhaps, I can put it in the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid hesitated and said, "Just like Fluffy and Aragog, they are both fine now."

"Wait..." Harry seemed to have discovered something and frowned, "I know Fluffy, it's the three-headed dog in the restricted area...but what is Aragog? How many things do you have in the Forbidden Forest?"

"No, no, no, you heard it wrong. It's only Lu Wei."

Although Hagrid tried hard to explain and said that Aragog was just a harmless little cutie, no one believed him.

Harry and the others knew Hagrid too well. From the three-headed dog and the dragon, they could tell that he liked magical animals that were extremely dangerous.

"Oh, Hagrid..."

At this moment, Kyle suddenly took out a bottle of blue potion and placed it on the table.

"This is the spider tonic you requested. According to your request, I have specially increased the potency of the medicine. It will be no problem even if it is given to a spider as big as a car."

"So, Aragog is... a spider?" asked Harry.

"It should be the Acromantula." Hermione thought for a moment, "I saw it in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Only they can grow to the size of a car."

Ron didn't say anything, his face quickly turned pale and his body trembled unconsciously.

The once familiar little house suddenly became unfamiliar. There seemed to be spiders hiding under the bed, in the corners, in the cabinets... everywhere.

"Let's go back quickly..." Ron stood there stiffly and said in a broken voice, "I haven't finished my homework yet!"
