Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 24: Trading or duress

　　 On weekends, the night at Hogwarts was quiet. A full moon hung in the sky with a soft light, sprinkled on the campus. Occasionally, a few owls flew by and the sounds of a few night cats were heard. Come, a peaceful and peaceful scene.

　　 But in a basement in the village of Hogsmeade not far away, an explosion was brewing.

　　 "Damn it." Malfoy cursed in a low voice.

　　 The soft golden-yellow liquid in the crucible just started tumbling, and the bubbles tumbling, turning into a weird pink, then bright red, and finally black. The reaction became more and more intense, like The turbulent waves rolled endlessly, and more and more bubbles began to break away from the liquid, making a "pop, pop" sound.

　　 "The work of two months was ruined." Malfoy sighed as he looked at the black liquid. It was obvious that he failed when he struggled to a third, and he was brewing a blessing potion.

　　 "Which link went wrong?" He began to sit on the ground thinking hard, frowning. Actually forgot the pot of failure potion that was still boiling.

　　 "Prick, thorn." The strange sound drew him from thinking back to reality.

　　 "Armor bodyguard!" Malfoy subconsciously used this spell, telling him intuitively that he would be the first traverser to die in the experiment if he didn't use it.

As soon as 　　's voice fell, there was a "boom", and a violent explosion occurred in the basement. The huge impact and the frantic air current brought him to the corner, and the dust was flying all over the sky.

　　 "Cough cough." Malfoy slowly got up from the ground, coughed twice, looked at the messy basement, and the potion flowing around couldn't help showing an ugly smile.

　　 "Chemicals should be recovered after the experiment." This sentence appeared inexplicably in his head. "I'm really going back." Malfoy raised his forehead in pain, not knowing whether it was for his own negligence or the explosion just now hurt his head.

　　 "There is no way, I can only pay attention to it." Then his eyes suddenly sharpened again, like an eagle that has found its prey and is ready to pounce on it.

　　----------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------

　　 The Easter holiday is much boring than the Christmas holiday. The students have endless homework, and the final exam is approaching, so they have to review.

　　 However, Gryffindor’s Iron Triangle does not seem to be studying quietly in the library. To be precise, it does not exist now. They are attracted by a dragon.

　　 Not long ago, they were reading books. Hermione worked out her review plan, marked all her notes in different colors, and wrote a few words to encourage herself on the title page, such as must exceed Someone or something. Harry was looking for "white fresh" in "A Thousand Wonder Herbs and Mushrooms", Ron threw the quill pen. Looked eagerly out of the library window. The sky outside the window was clear and clear, blue as the color of forget-me-not, and there was a breath of summer coming in the air.

　　 Under normal circumstances, it should be serious, lazy and lazy, and then spent a peaceful day like this, but today is obviously an abnormal situation.

　　 "Hagrid. Why are you here!" Ron said loudly in the library, only to see Hagrid kicking up to come over, leaving something behind him. Of course, this kind of possession was useless, and they soon learned that Hagrid was collecting some information about the dragon.

　　 Then they followed Hagrid to the hut door of the hunting ground. They did not express curiosity quickly, but asked some more questions about the Sorcerer's Stone.

　　As an IQ-crushing player, Hermione has basically finished Hagrid's words after many exchanges. They learned that Snape was also one of the professors who protected the Sorcerer's Stone, as well as information about three-headed dogs. Of course, they were even more suspicious of him, and the three of them thought it would be easier for Snape to guard and steal if the precautions were over.

　　 Their current focus is dragons.

　　 "Hagrid, can you open the window? I'm out of heat."

　　 "No, Harry, I'm sorry." Hagrid said. Harry noticed him glance at the fireplace. Harry turned his head to look at the fire.

　　 "Hagrid—what is that?" Harry asked.

　　 Actually he already knows it. In the very center of the fire, under the kettle, lies a **** egg.

　　 "Oh," Hai Jing said, twisting his beard anxiously, "That's--oh"

　　 "Where did you get it, Hagrid?" Ron said, squatting over to the fire, looking at the big egg more closely. "It must have cost you a lot of money!"

　　 "Won it." Hagrid said, "Last night, I was drinking in the village and playing cards with a stranger. To be honest, that person is probably eager to get rid of it."

　　 "But what are you going to do when it hatches?" Hermione asked.

　　 "Oh, I've been reading books." Hagrid said, pulling out a large book from under his pillow, "borrowed from the library-"Raising a Dragon for Fun and Profit"- —Of course, it’s a bit outdated, but the content is very comprehensive. Put the eggs in the fire, because their mother exhales at them. Look, it’s written here, after it’s hatched, feed it every half an hour It has a barrel of brandy and chicken blood. Look at this again-how to distinguish different eggs-I got a Norwegian Ridgeback. Very rare."

　　 Intuitively told Hermione that this was illegal. He wanted to persuade Hagrid, but when he saw Ron, Harry and Hagrid all looked excited, she didn't know how to speak. The last time the Levitation Charm had caused her Learned some lessons-learn to be tolerant of friends. Thinking of friends, she thought of someone again. "Am I a friend in his mind?" she asked herself.

　　 "Hermione? Hermione?" Ron said, "Don't be in a daze, come and see the dragon egg, I promise you have never seen such a big egg."

　　 "Okay." Hermione forced herself to look at something she was not interested in, but it was strange to say that the thought that a new life might be bred out of it made her feel less disgusted, even Some expectations.

　　 The afterglow of the setting sun was spraying on the cabin, and they realized it was late now.

　　 "Hagrid, we have to go." Harry said.

　　 "We will come again." Ron at the door waved to Hagrid.

　　 "Me too." Hermione nodded gently.

　　 Then, at breakfast one day, Hedwig brought Harry another Hagrid's note. There are only four words written on it: It's almost out of the shell.

　　 Ron doesn't want to take herbal medicine lessons, and wants to go straight to Hagrid's cabin. Hermione strongly disagreed.

　　 "Hermione, how many times can we see the dragon out of the shell in our lifetime?"

　　"We are going to class, otherwise we will get into trouble; if someone finds out what Hagrid is doing, he will be even more unlucky than us—"

　　 "Stop talking." Harry warned in a low voice.

　　In the herbal medicine class, Ron has been arguing with Hermione. Finally, Hermione finally agreed to run to Hagrid's cabin with them during the morning break. When the get out of class was over, just after the bell rang out from the castle, the three of them dropped their shovel and hurried across the field towards the edge of the forbidden forest. Hagrid greeted them, his face was red, very excited...

　　 "Coming out soon." He let them into the cabin. The egg was lying on the table, and there was already a deep crack in it. Something kept moving inside, and there was a funny clicking sound. They all moved their chairs closer to the table, held their breath, and watched closely.

　　 Suddenly, with a harsh scratching sound, the egg cracked. The dragon flopped on the table. It wasn't really pretty; Harry thought it looked like a crumpled black umbrella. Compared with its thin, black body, its spiny wings are extraordinarily large. It also has a long big nose, white nostrils, **** bumps on the head, and orange-red eyes protruding outward.

　　 It sneezed, and a few sparks spurted from its nose. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid murmured. He stretched out a hand and touched Xiaolong's head. Xiaolong bit his finger, exposing long pointed teeth.

　　 "Gosh, look, it knows its mother!" Hagrid said. "Hagrid," said Hermione, "how fast does the Norwegian Ridgeback get to the bottom?" Hagrid was about to answer, suddenly his face turned pale.

　　 "There is someone outside the window." He said, and then he jumped up. The huge body jumped up and seemed to block the light, and there was total darkness under him.

　　 "It's you!" After opening the door, Ron and Harry's face changed, Hermione pursed her lips, wondering what she was thinking.

　　 "You eavesdropped on us outside!" Ron directly raised his wand. Normally, he should not have the courage to treat Malfoy, the strongest grade in this way, but it's different now, because his opponent doesn't have a wand.

　　The wizard without a wand may be worse than the Muggle. This is the inner thoughts of many wizards.

　　 "Don't come here!" Ron snapped, but Malfoy walked into the room step by step.

　　A green light shot from Ron’s wand, and he shouted: "I won't let you succeed!"

　　 "No!" Hermione yelled eagerly. But neither Hagrid nor Harry noticed her shouting, and they were both stunned by the current situation.

　　 "I hate people pointing their wands at me." Malfoy said flatly.

　　"Armor bodyguard!"

　　 The green light seemed to hit an invisible wall, and stopped sharply, giving people a weird feeling of using the wrong force. Then, the light bounced back faster than before. .

　　 "Ron, how are you." The green light hit Ron. He couldn't help but stepped back and fell to the ground. Harry and Hermione quickly helped him up and asked with concern.

　　 Harry raised his head and looked at Malfoy angrily.

　　 "Don't look at me like that." Malfoy shrugged, "I'm just a defensive defense. If I don't resist, it's me who is showing the ugliness now."

　　 After he finished speaking, Ron hiccuped, and a few slugs fell from his mouth to his thigh.

　　 He went on to say: "Only a dark wizard will point a wand at a person without a wand, just like a regular army will not point a butcher knife at civilians. They will only fight with their real opponents." Malfoy paused. A moment, and then said: "But it seems that I, a civilian, is better."

　　 Obviously this sentence was just made up by him right away, although it sounds reasonable.

　　 "You eavesdropped on us first!" Harry said loudly, but he was a little lacking in confidence and a little shaken.

　　 "A law-abiding citizen is obliged to report illegal behavior. Let me think about it, um, what is written in the "Fantastic Beast Protection Act"." He buried his head in thinking, and suddenly snapped his fingers. "Taming dragons privately will be sentenced to five to ten years. Moreover, our custodian seems to have some criminal convictions, and it is estimated that he will have to be punished." Malfoy said in an understatement.

　　 Hagrid's beard jerked abnormally a few times, and he has maintained this posture ever since.

　　 "As for the accomplices." He touched his chin and said, "Go to jail?"

　　 He turned pale when he saw the three people, and Ron vomited a few more slugs.

　　 "That won't be enough, but it's very likely to be expelled. I guess our college would be happy to see Gryffindor's score drop." He started to make up, but it was reasonable enough, and it was more than enough to deceive a few people. .

　　 Just kidding, can Dumbledore agree to this happening?

　　 But now it was obvious that Harry was stunned. In his eyes it was more uncomfortable to fire him than to let him die. The glory of Gryffindor was damaged because of him, it would be better to go to prison.

　　 "So, do you want to report us?" Hermione tried her best to calm down her tone. The only person present was she who was still calm now, but only on the surface. Her delicate fingers were gripped. The tight, whitish knuckles had betrayed her long ago.

　　 "He is not such a person, he is not such a person." Hermione said to herself repeatedly, and then waited tormented for his answer.

　　"H..." Ron wanted to speak, and he spat out a few slugs on the ground, "Hermione, don't ask him, he is a student of Snape, there is definitely a conspiracy in it." Ron spelled I tried my best to say such a sentence.

　　 "The tongue seals the throat!" Malfoy cast another spell.

　　 Now Ron’s mouth began to bulge. He wanted to spit out a slug, but his mouth was sealed again, his cheeks bulged more and more, and soon his throat also bulged. His breathing became difficult.

　　 "You will kill him." Hermione screamed, obviously frightened by this scene. "Untie it, please," she said cryingly.

　　 "The curse stops," Malfoy said softly.

　　 Ron vomited all the slugs all at once. He lay on the ground and panted heavily. He looked at Malfoy with hatred, but after a glance at each other, he quickly lowered his head. He was afraid. Up.

　　 "For most people in this world, death is the ultimate fear, and so is the Dark Lord. I believe you can learn your lesson in the future and don't just interrupt when others are talking." Malfoy was still calm. Looks like.

　　 "What do you want." Harry asked courageously, apparently the scene Ron showed just now has been deeply carved into his mind, he just wants to know what Malfoy wants.

　　 "A deal, a fair deal, but now obviously you can only understand it as coercion." Malfoy shrugged helplessly, apparently a little helpless about the situation.

　　 "What deal?" Hermione asked hurriedly.

　　 Malfoy did not answer her directly. He slowly said: "Norwegian Ridgeback, a fire dragon, grows faster, and can grow to twice its original size within a week."

　　 "Sooner or later, this big man's house will not be able to hold this fire dragon, maybe even because of its extremely aggressive nature, it will cause disaster sooner or later without proper domestication."

　　"Have you forgotten that monster? If you divide the strength of the magical creatures, the strength of this dragon will grow up to be higher than that of the last monster."

　　 "If something goes wrong, you will not be going to an ordinary prison. It may be Azkaban, Mr. Hagrid, the big man, the dementor will feel uncomfortable."

　　Hagrid staggered suddenly and almost fell to the ground. Obviously Azkaban's deterrence is too strong.

　　"It is more likely to happen because the disaster it caused is too great, and it may need to be destroyed by humanity."

　　 "No!" Hagrid suddenly cried out sadly. "Noble is just a child." He squatted down with his head in his hands, as if he had thought of the scene at that time.

　　 "I can help you, you only have to pay a small price." Malfoy continued.

　　 "What's the price, how can I help." Harry asked quickly, he didn't care who Malfoy was a student or had any conspiracy now.

　　 "I show my sincerity, let me tell you the way first, and that's me," Malfoy pointed to himself. Then he said: "My father has a lot of investments all over the UK, and some around the world. There is a dragon farm in Romania, where my father has a lot of shares. Sending the dragon there should be the best choice."

　　 "How do I trust you?" Ron asked incredulously.

　　 "I really feel sad for the IQ of the descendants of the Weasley family." Malfoy couldn't help but raised his forehead. "If I lie to you, can't you report me? Think about what your brother Charlie does."

　　 Hagrid was pleasantly surprised: "The little guy Charlie is also studying fire dragons there. He told me that he is also in Romania." Then his voice fell low: "But I can't bear Norbert." He began to sob. When I got up, I had to say that a big man was crying in front of him, and Malfoy felt that he was against him.

　　 "Then what do you want." Harry whispered.

　　 Malfoy stared at Hermione for a while, making her feel very uncomfortable.

　　 "What does he want to do." Hermione was staring at her and her heart accelerated, and her cheeks turned red when she thought of a possibility. "Impossible, impossible." She said to herself, trying to calm herself down.

　　 "I only need a bottle of dragon blood." Malfoy suddenly straightened his posture and said seriously.

　　 Hermione, who was in a battle between heaven and man, was suddenly relieved when he heard this request, but she was a little lost. She pressed her lips and didn’t know what she was thinking about~ IndoMTL.com~ No, you can’t do this to it, he still Just a child. "Hagrid suddenly went crazy again. He hugged Norbert tightly, repeating these words repeatedly.

　　 "Then I can only act as a Young Pioneer once to expose the evil forces." Malfoy turned and left, and by the way said a joke that he thought was funny.

　　 "By the way, there seems to be no Young Pioneers in the UK." He seemed to think of something.

　　 "I promised you for Hagrid." Harry said.

　　 "Harry, how can you..." Ron seemed to be in a better state now, and he quickly discouraged him.

　　 "We have no choice." Harry said in a deep voice, having to say that it is not the right way to think of Gryffindor as brave or reckless. There is Pettigrew, but in Slytherin. There is Regulus Black too. Harry showed the wisdom and determination he should have right now.

　　 "I wish we have a good cooperation." Malfoy turned around and stretched out his hand, smiling.

　　 "Happy cooperation." Harry also stretched out his hand, forcing himself to make a smile that he thought was kind.

　　 "My father should send someone over next week or so. This dragon should have grown up a lot by then. You are ready, but don't have any problems then," Malfoy said.

　　 "We are not like you." Ron said fiercely.

　　 "Hehe, that would be best." After speaking, Malfoy slowly stepped out of the door. He had better add another sentence: "The last piece of advice, please remember that it is a dragon!"
