As long as he can go back, even if he has to spend a whole... um, half a day writing homework, it's fine.

However, such a small request has never been responded to.

Harry and Hermione were still trying to find various reasons to persuade Hagrid to let Norbert go, and they would definitely not leave just like that.

Ron thought about leaving Harry and Hermione here and leaving first, but he quickly rejected this idea because it would make him look cowardly.

Unable to walk, and daring not to move, Ron could only suppress his fear of spiders and stand there terrified.

"The Forbidden Forest is too small, Hagrid." Hermione advised, "It may be able to hide a three-headed dog, but it definitely can't hide a dragon. Don't forget that Norbert can fly. He can fly to a height of fifty feet with just a slight flap of his wings. Those trees are useless."

"But... I just got it." Hagrid was a little shaken.

"Do you want it to stay in the Forbidden Forest and never fly?" Hermione continued to persuade: "Nobert is a dragon, Hagrid, it was born to belong to the sky."

"I... I know I can't keep it forever." Hagrid bit his lip and murmured, "But it rubbed my hand when it was eating yesterday. It must have thought I was its mother... I can't just throw it away like this, I can't."

Huh? Kyle raised his head and looked at Norbert, who was lying on his arm pretending to be dead, in confusion.

What happened? I suddenly became a male mother without noticing...

Besides, he had never heard of the tradition of dragons "rubbing hands to recognize relatives". How did Hagrid come to this conclusion?

"Charlie!"

At this moment, Harry suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

He said excitedly, "Ron, I remember your brother Charlie is studying dragons in Romania. We might as well give Norbert to him."

Ron said nothing, just nodded stiffly.

"That's a great idea!" said Hermione. "How about it, Hagrid!"

"I'm sure Charlie will take good care of it!"

Hagrid was silent for a moment and did not agree immediately. He just said he would think about it.

After that, no matter what Harry and Hermione said, he didn't give in.

Only after the three of them left did Hagrid sit down dejectedly on the chair, grabbing his hair and asking, "Kyle, do you think I should have agreed to them just now? Sending Norbert to Romania might have been the best option."

"To be honest, there's no need for that."

After making sure the trio had gone far away, Kyle said, "Charlie is indeed trustworthy, but I have a better choice..."

Kyle stayed in Hagrid's cabin for a long time and didn't leave until noon.

…

The next day, when Harry and Hermione came again to persuade Hagrid to hand Norbert over to Charlie, they received some unexpected news.

"You mean you've found a solution?" Harry said incredulously.

"Yes." Hagrid looked much more relaxed. While handling a fish, he said, "You are right. Dragons cannot be raised here. So it will leave when it grows up a little bit."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Hagrid say this.

Although I don't know where he sent Norbert, as long as he is not in Hogwarts, it's fine.

"By the way, where's Ron?" Hagrid looked up and asked, "Why didn't he come with you?"

After learning that he would have to come here again today, Ron left the common room and never came back. Harry couldn't find him at all.

…

"Hermione, doesn't this seem a little strange to you?"

On the way back, Harry looked back in the direction of the cabin and asked, "It's only been a day, why did Hagrid suddenly agree to send Norbert away? Did something happen during this period that we don't know about?"

"That's nothing strange. Perhaps Hagrid has figured it out. There's no way he can keep a dragon at Hogwarts."

"Besides, we have more important things to do right now."

Hermione seemed a little anxious, and spoke quickly: "The final exam is coming soon. We must hurry up and review now to make up for the time we lost."

"Exams, that's still a long way off." Harry said nonchalantly.

"There are still twenty days left!" Hermione retorted, "Or next month will be the exam week. Do you still think it's too early?"

"Twenty... days?" Harry stopped abruptly and looked at Hermione blankly.

The last time they discussed the exam, there were still ten weeks left, but suddenly there were only twenty days left.

But he clearly felt that only a few days had passed... Who had stolen his time? What made Harry even more desperate was that he could not remember the knowledge he had learned in class at all, and his mind felt blank.

When they returned to the castle and told Ron, who was waiting for them at the entrance of the auditorium, he showed the same expression.

It seemed like just a moment and the exam was no longer out of reach.

For some time afterwards, Harry and Ron had no time to think about Hagrid and his dragon.

Night after night, they were driving them crazy trying to complete the revision plans Hermione had set for them after finishing the piles of homework assigned by their teachers.

“This is horrible…”

In the library, Ron looked at the thick pile of books in front of him that he would never finish reading, and said in a somewhat collapsed tone: "Even my dreams are like stirring the crucible automatically now."

"Did you dream the answer?" Hermione looked up and said dissatisfiedly, "Which wizards invented it?"

There were even more books in front of her, almost filling the entire table.

"I just remember those cauldrons lining up to hit me on the head..." Ron said with a bitter face: "But Hermione, why do you still need to review? You already know everything."

"Have you been knocked silly by those cauldrons?"

Hermione said anxiously: "If you just know it, you won't be able to get an O (outstanding) in the final exam.

What if the questions are very difficult? I can’t imagine what I would do if I only got an E (exceeded expectations).”

Harry and Ron looked at each other. To be honest, if they could get an E, they would probably jump for joy.

"But you are already the best in the whole grade." Ron whispered, "In class, you are always the first to complete the professor's requirements."

"Many people can do this... For example, Kyle from the second grade." Hermione shook her head and said, "And I understand that he got full marks last year."
