The Silent Bookstore Manager at Hogwarts

Of course, the objective problems wouldn't disappear just because Harry and his friends were being careful. Norbert's growth rate far exceeded their expectations. In just one week, Norbert went from a tiny little thing to about the size of Moose. And this was only the beginning of the dragon's growth period. If the nutritional supply was sufficient, Norbert would fill Hagrid's house in half a month. At that time, no matter what method was used, there would be no way to stop the news that Hagrid had secretly raised a Norwegian Ridgeback.

"So, we're going to send Norber to Romania, right?"

Harry carefully put away his brush. Norber turned to look at Harry and then affectionately rubbed his palm against his hand. Norber didn't care much about Harry occasionally taking a little of its blood. As long as it could eat and drink its fill in this room, it couldn't be bothered with such things.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be soon. Is Hagrid mentally prepared?"

Red asked a question, looking at Norbert. Compared to his affection for Harry, Norbert felt a strange fear of Red. He didn't even know why he was so afraid of Red, but his instincts told him that he must not get into a conflict with Red.

"......."

Harry remained silent. Hagrid's excitement when he was with Norbert made him wonder if Norbert was really related to Hagrid by blood. However, whenever the topic of sending Norbert away came up, Hagrid would instantly become depressed, and might even burst into tears at any moment.

"Hagrid agreed, but I think... we shouldn't let Hagrid send the dragon away himself; that would be too cruel for him."

Hermione walked in at that moment, and Norbert glanced at her but ignored her completely, which made Hermione feel a little helpless. Norbert was quite nice to Harry and Red, but he seemed to become indifferent to her and Ron.

"But in that case...did Ron's brother say how to send the dragon over?"

"Perhaps we can..."

Norber shrank his neck, realizing that his good days of eating and drinking were about to end, and whimpered twice with some reluctance.

"But that means we'll be breaking into Hogwarts at night. Is everyone ready?"

Red and Hermione quickly devised a simple plan, the most important part of which was that they needed to find an absolutely safe location with a good view to meet the "deliveryman".

"Of course, another problem is... Malfoy and those Slytherin guys."

When Harry heard this, he subconsciously rubbed his wrist. He was confident that if the same battle were to happen again now, he could easily take down those guys.

"Harry, we can't afford to resort to violence this time... You can't exactly fight Professor McGonagall, can you?"

Harry sighed upon hearing this. There is no perfect answer in the world that can solve everything, so Harry had to find a new way to solve the problem.

"That's settled then... I'll take Norber there."

Harry looked up and met his friends' eyes. He stood up quietly and looked at Hagrid. He still looked a little sad, but more than that, he looked determined.

"Nober can't stay here forever, Hagrid, you know that, right?"

Hagrid nodded with difficulty.

"But Norbert is just a child, Harry... What if she doesn't like Romania? What if she gets bullied by other Norwegian Ridgebacks there?"

Hagrid seems to be worried about some nonsense, which could indeed happen in reality, but it's not something Hagrid should be concerned about.

"Hagrid... Ron's brother Charlie works in the Dragon Sanctuary. They'll protect Norber. What do you think of the wizards who are willing to work in the Dragon Sanctuary?"

Seeing Harry's serious expression, Hagrid could only nod reluctantly in the end.

"At least let me feed Norber a little more. She won't be able to eat as much good food after she goes to the reserve."

"Don't worry, don't worry... Hagrid, we'll need at least another day or two to send Norber away, and Ron needs time to contact Charlie, doesn't he?"

"Gentlemen... listen up, there's some unlucky fellow trying to get close to Hagrid's cabin... Hasn't Malfoy learned his lesson yet?"

Malfoy tried to get closer to Hagrid's hut, knowing there must be a secret there, otherwise Harry and the others wouldn't come there so punctually every day. But inexplicably, he felt as if he had entered a maze.

"Good evening, what are you doing here, Malfoy?"

Red's voice startled the already cautious Malfoy, but the moment he saw Red, he wasn't so afraid anymore.

"Reid, you've broken the school rules!!"

He became smug, as if he had discovered some incredible secret.

"It's not like you, Mr. Malfoy, haven't broken any school rules. Besides, do you think there's anyone around here?"

Red stretched his shoulders, instantly reminding Malfoy that Red had acted much more confidently than Harry on the train. Malfoy instinctively drew his wand.

"Don't come any closer... If you dare to make a move, Hagrid and the other professors will definitely find out."

Red sighed. Malfoy's mind was too simple in some ways; he simply couldn't think of anything deeper.

"Alright, alright, stop making a fool of yourself here. You... we can't let you ruin everything."

Malfoy keenly grasped the important point Red was making, but he didn't know what it was.

"Red, do you really enjoy following that idiot Harry around like this?"

Malfoy tried to start a conversation with Red, but his first words made Red laugh.

"Come on, young master, save your words for someone else, okay? I'm giving you two choices: let me drag you back, or go back on your own like a good boy."

Red would certainly not let Malfoy make the choice; that would be too much trouble. He was just stalling for time.

"I..." Malfoy's movements gradually slowed down. He swayed and touched his head, as if he realized something, but quickly closed his eyes.

"Go back to your dorm and have sweet dreams."

Red waved his hand. The power of the [Lamp] is never just about illumination; an overly bright [Lamp] can actually make people dizzy.
