Chapter 130: Little Dragon (Edited)

Harry hurried to break the news to his two companions who were helping to care for the dragon's egg.

As for Fish...

He was surrounded by girls and Harry didn't have a chance to tell him.

"Why don't we skip morning Herbology class?" encouraged Ron enthusiastically, "Professor Sprout is very kind anyway, we'll just say that we both accidentally ate George and Fred's joke candies."

Brotherly Ron was very adept at placing the blame on his brothers.

Not that he could blame himself, the general culture in Gryffindor these days was to blame the twins first.

And since the twins had been so well funded in the development of their joke product thanks to Fish's "spokesman", they had already created several new products in a row, so this excuse had a good chance of success.

The only thing that would happen is that the two brothers would snare him as a beta tester for the new product, and Ron said he would be delighted to see the little dragon come out of its shell.

Harry was also tempted, so he would only be taken on as a tester altogether, which wasn't too bad overall.

But obviously, Hermione, the good student, would disagree, and she had her reasons, "We have to go to our normal classes, if someone accidentally notices our unusual movements and exposes Hagrid, they'll have more bad luck than us!"

"How can there be such a coincidence..." Ron pursed his lips and continued to argue, "How many times in our lifetime will we see a baby dragon come out of its shell? If we miss it this time, we will most likely never see it again."

Unfortunately, Hermione persisted and threatened Ron that she would inform the teacher if they skipped class.

Ron shut his mouth angrily, but he still thought that when breakfast was over, he would go convince Fish, and he didn't think Hermione would continue to insist.

However, when he finished breakfast and found Fish, who had run away from the girls....

"No meow, Minerva will be mad if you skip class."

Fish grunted and shook his head, rejecting Ron's offer.

"That's right, we can't skip class!"

Hermione, who had received Fish's approval, shook her fist at Ron with great excitement.

"But... it's a baby dragon coming out of its shell..."

Ron was still trying to struggle, but unfortunately, Fish wasn't obsessed with the idea of a dragon coming out of its shell and didn't have a look of anticipation on his face.

Sleeping in a greenhouse full of plants was more appealing to Fish than anything else.

"Yuck..."

Ron sighed helplessly, hanging his head in despair as he followed the group into the greenhouse for their Herbology lesson.

Hermione wasn't that insensitive though, she wouldn't have objected if it was just a matter of going to Hagrid's house during morning break to see the baby dragon, after all Hermione was interested in the matter too, she just didn't want to skip class anymore.

As soon as the bell rang, the three of them put down their shovels and ran over to Fish, who was still sleeping, and woke him up.

Fish stretched and, thinking there was nothing else to do, followed them to Hagrid's hut.

Halfway there, the cat ears on top of Fish's head suddenly turned back, and following the direction in which his ears turned, Fish saw Malfoy, who looked a little nervous.

"What are you doing following us, Big Brain?" (●ΦωΦ●)?

Fish asked, causing Malfoy, who was trying to hide in the bushes, to be stunned.

"What? Malfoy?!"

They followed him and turned to look, and then saw Malfoy looking a bit nervous.

Seeing this, Malfoy lifted his chin and said with a pale face, "I heard these three idiots talking about dragon eggs this morning, don't let them fool you, after all, one Weasley and two Muggles don't have much knowledge."

"You want another beating? Big Brain?" said Ron, snapping his fingers aggressively and glaring at Malfoy with a smug look on his face. "Your two followers aren't around right now."

"You want to fight? Then Fish will be the referee." ?(●ΦωΦ●)?

Fish shouted wagging his tail.

"Wait, aren't we going to see the dragon eggs?" Hermione tried to make peace with the situation, "If you don't believe in it, ignore it."

But Harry ignored her and stood next to Ron with a straight face.

"Wait a minute, meow!" The impartial referee Fish stopped Harry immediately, "You can't help red-headed number four! This is between the two of them."

"He's a Slytherin!"

Harry looked incredulously at Fish, who stood in front of him.

"Meow?" Fish cocked his head to the side, confused, "What does this have to do with them fighting?"

Ron's newly lifted spirits faded at Fish's agitation and he shrugged helplessly, "Never mind, Harry."

He looked at Malfoy, who still had his chin up stubbornly, "With Fish around, he shouldn't be a snitch."

Harry's expression was a bit complicated, he didn't want Malfoy to know about the dragon egg and he wanted to beat him up, but the atmosphere wasn't right.

On the other hand, Malfoy was also nervous, what he had just said was a half-truth.

He didn't really think Harry and Ron could know any dragon eggs, but he had clearly heard Hagrid's name, and while he didn't like the big stupid guy either, he was the ranger of the Forbidden Forest, so it was probably true about the dragon egg.

As a person whose nickname is "Little Dragon," Malfoy actually has a special feeling for fire dragons, so after learning that Harry and the others can see the little dragon coming out of its shell, he's actually quite jealous.

Malfoy had opted to follow Harry just to sneak a peek at the dragon they were talking about, but he couldn't say anything to Harry and Ron, his two nemeses.

And then the scene froze for a moment.

"Meow?" ?ω?

A confused Fish looked from side to side, flicked his ears and asked regretfully, "Don't they fight, meow?"

Harry: "..."

Ron: "..."

Malfoy: "..."

Finally, Hermione spoke up, "Are they still going to see dragon come out of his shell? We don't have much time."

And so the group headed for Hagrid's hut with an equally confused Malfoy.

"Are you... Malfoy?"

Hagrid was surprised to see Malfoy appear, he had heard Harry and Ron complain and slander this Slytherin.

"Well, we accidentally let him hear about the dragon egg, but I don't think he'll say anything" Harry explained to Hagrid with a complicated expression, as he shot Malfoy a warning look, which was answered with a growl.

After shooting Harry a blank stare, Malfoy said nothing and pushed his way past Hagrid and caught a glimpse of the black dragon egg he had placed on the table.

"It's a real dragon egg!"

Malfoy's breath caught in his throat and he exclaimed in disbelief.

By now, there were many cracks in the dragon egg and a cracking sound could be heard.

Harry and the others stopped obsessing over Malfoy and moved closer to the table, holding their breath and staring at the egg as it continued to make noises.

Suddenly, with a rough scratching sound, the egg cracked.

A fluttering young black dragon with a pair of pointed wings appeared in front of everyone.
