Chapter 56 Is This the End?
Draco was lying outside the window, watching the battle inside with great interest, and he didn't notice the figure behind him at all.
Snap!
A hand suddenly slapped Draco on the shoulder, scaring him.
But before he could scream, Aaron covered his mouth, "Don't be excited, it's me."
"Aaron, you're finally here." Draco whispered.
"What's the situation?"
"It's incredible, Hagrid actually raised a Norwegian Ridgeback.
But what I never expected was that Abe actually had wings, and he was not just ordinary powerful, he could actually fight with a young dragon."
"Gift crab!" Aaron held his forehead and shook his head, "It's still exposed."
After that, he walked to the wooden door and prepared to kick it open.
"Wait a minute." Draco hurriedly stopped him and smiled meaningfully, "A sacred war between magical animal cubs is taking place in this hut. I suggest that we wait until they decide the winner before we go in."
"There is also a giant and three Gryffindors inside. By then, my Abe may be bullied to a great extent." Aaron ignored him and kicked the door.
Bang!
The wooden door trembled violently, and a layer of dust fell from it.
The sound immediately alerted everyone in the hut. Hagrid first glanced at Norbert and Abe fighting in the air, and then made a gesture to Harry and others to keep quiet.
"Who is it? I'm sleeping late at night. Come back tomorrow if you have something to do."
"Aaron Gaius, my pet should be in the house now. I advise you to open the door for me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"It's over now." Hermione heard this, her face turned pale in an instant, and she collapsed on the chair weakly.
Harry and Ron were also anxious, but more of them were guilty.
They just kidnapped a... okay! The cubs of magical animals are much more valuable than cats.
But it's only been more than an hour! They were caught in the act, this is unreasonable!
"Calm down first, don't talk." Hagrid comforted, "He may not know you are here too.
Harry, take out the invisibility cloak quickly and take them in.
I'll knock Norbert and Abe unconscious again. As long as he doesn't find out, we have a chance to hide it."
"Hagrid, you should be careful about deceiving yourself!" Hermione smiled bitterly, "I don't know how we were exposed, but Aaron wouldn't come here at this time if he wasn't sure."
Bang!
The sound of kicking the door sounded again, hitting the hearts of several people hard.
"Then at least try it first. My door is still quite strong. They can't get in so quickly.
Harry, hurry up."
"Okay!"
Harry nodded immediately and took out the invisibility cloak.
Hagrid also drew out his wand. Although he didn't want to hurt the magical animal cubs from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't care less at this time.
If they were caught, not only him, but Harry and the others would also be punished.
So, the two little guys should sleep a little longer!
However, the next moment, a spell sounded outside the door, and everyone's movements were stunned.
"Alaho Open."
The Unlocking Spell, as the name suggests, can open the door lock.
Although it has no attack power, it can work wonders at certain times, such as now.
After casting the Unlocking Spell, the bolt of the wooden door fell off quickly. Everyone in the hut watched the bolt fall, and their hearts were covered with a haze.
Outside the hut, Aaron sneered and kicked again, and the door was completely opened.
He ignored the messy house and the stunned people, and directly locked his eyes on the two dragons fighting in the sky, and then the corners of his mouth twitched.
Abe, who had switched to combat mode, was violently abusing the Norwegian Ridgeback, beating it with fists and feet, making it miserable.
There were some purple spots on its black skin, and even its wings were a little asymmetrical. It was simply bullying a child by relying on its size advantage.
"Abe, come here."
Aaron shouted, and Abe, who was enjoying the beating, suddenly paused, kicked Norbert onto the table, and then fell to the ground.
It quickly folded its wings, and the white scales on its body quickly faded, and its sharp teeth and claws folded at the same time, posing a harmless and cute look.
Abe looked at Aaron with some trepidation, and lowered his proud dragon head in grievance.
The owner repeatedly warned him not to reveal his identity, but he forgot this warning less than two hours after he left.
"Okay, who are you going to show this to!" Aaron said with a smile, and then picked it up, observed it carefully, and barely breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was not injured.
"Ouch!"
Abei pointed at the burnt parts of his hat and clothes with concern, then pointed at the fire dragon that was beaten so hard that it could hardly stand up, and simply said that it did not expose itself on purpose.
Aaron was amused by this action, and immediately put a new set of pet suits in front of it, "Put it on first! Forget about this time, but don't do it again, understand?"
Abe nodded repeatedly, standing on his two hind paws on the ground, and put on new clothes in a humane way.
"Draco, please close the door."
"Okay!" Draco nodded with a smile, turned around and inserted the bolt.
Harry and the other two saw that Draco Malfoy was also here, and some of the things they didn't understand immediately became clear.
This guy must have followed them secretly and then told Aaron about it, otherwise there was no way to explain it.
Now I just hope that Draco will come later, if he hears about the Philosopher's Stone and Snape, it will be a lot of fun.
Aaron walked to a chair, wiped the dust on it, sat on it expressionlessly, crossed his legs, and the sense of oppression instantly came up.
"Everyone, I'm very angry now, but I'm still willing to talk to you calmly.
Explain it! I'll give you a chance to explain."
Several people looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Don't explain?
Or do you know what dirty things you did and are embarrassed to explain?"
"I think it's the latter." Draco said gloatingly, "They are like this in Gryffindor. It's almost normal for them to dare to do things but not to take responsibility."
"Aaron, listen to my explanation first." Hermione gritted her teeth, "Actually..."
"Stop, don't talk first.
No matter what the reason is, some things are done and don't need to be explained.
And what you said may not be true. I dare not believe you anymore." Aaron said with some disappointment.
Hearing this, Hermione's eyes were slightly red, but she resisted crying.
This matter was indeed not authentic for her, and there was nothing to say.
"Explain it!" Aaron looked at the other three, "Let me hear what reasons you can make up."
After a few seconds, no one spoke.
"Don't you want to tell me? It's really interesting!
You are really promising to let a girl take the lead and take the blame."
"You are absolutely right." Draco couldn't help but applaud, "I still admire Hermione Granger in this regard. Although she deceived Aaron, she is at least more responsible than the famous Potter and Weasley."
"We..."
"What? Does Weasley have something to say?" Draco smiled provocatively, "When I came, you had already put Abe on the table. I don't know anything about what happened before.
So I am still very curious about your plan. Can you tell me how you brought Abe here?"
Ron heard this and clenched his fists in anger.
He felt particularly aggrieved when Malfoy pointed at him and scolded him, but he didn't know how to refute him.
Could it be that he told them that he brought Abe here because he had given him sleeping pills? This would be too embarrassing.
Harry felt humiliated but secretly relieved. Judging from the time, Draco did not hear the conversation about the Philosopher's Stone, which was a blessing in disguise.
"That's enough. I asked them to do it." Hagrid said helplessly, "I couldn't suppress my curiosity and wanted to see what species Abe was, so...
Anyway, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry."
"If apologies are useful, why would the Ministry of Magic do that?" Aaron said coldly, "Besides, you were caught by me and had to apologize!
If I didn't know, could you just pretend that nothing happened?
You should be glad that Abe was not injured, otherwise this matter would never be let go."
"Yes, that's it." Draco said, but his face became strange, "Aaron, do you mean to let it go?
Isn't this too cheap for them? They almost sold Abe!
No, to be exact, they had already sold him, but the process There was a little accident in the process. "
"I know what you want to say." Aaron grabbed Abe's two front paws helplessly and lifted him up, "Actually, I don't want to let it go.
But the identity of this little guy has been exposed. If the matter gets out of hand, do you think Abe's identity can be kept secret?"
"This... I haven't considered it.
But what kind of magical creature is it?"
"You will know when it grows up. It's not convenient to say now." Aaron sighed, his eyes swept across the other people in the room, and stayed on the Norwegian Ridgeback for a second longer, "Let's sign a confidentiality agreement! Don't tell anyone what happened tonight."
Hagrid's eyes lit up. This is indeed the best way to solve the problem, and in this way, his Norbert can also be saved.
"This is a good idea. How about the Fidelius Charm?
You can let Malfoy be the secret keeper. "
