"You..."
"Alright, alright." Hagrid quickly interjected.
"Everyone come in and see Norbert."
Hagrid, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was also sly, only speaking up after Harry and Ron had finished their insults.
Malfoy heard this and no longer cared about Harry and Ron.
He actually liked Dragons very much, and the reason he secretly followed them, besides wanting to get dirt on Harry and the others, was also to see the newly hatched Dragon.
He grumbled under his breath, but his body honestly gravitated towards the table.
"Is this the Dragon?" Malfoy asked in a low voice.
"Norwegian Ridgeback."
"Just hatched less than half an hour ago."
The Baby Dragon was still wrestling with Hagrid's finger, biting it hard and emitting low growls.
Charlie observed the Baby Dragon, frowning:
"Hagrid, this Dragon is too fierce."
"Norbert isn't fierce!" Hagrid quickly defended the Baby Dragon, "He's just playing with me!"
In this short time, Hagrid had already named the Dragon.
"You think it's not fierce because it can't hurt you."
"But have you thought about others?"
"What if Harry had been bitten just now, Harry would have been injured."
"If it bit his neck, Harry would be dead."
Harry's expression was strange; there was no need to be so detailed.
Hearing Charlie's words, Hagrid's face instantly changed.
If there was one thing he cared about most, it was Harry's safety.
"No, no, Norbert wouldn't hurt Harry."
Hagrid hurriedly waved his hand, but his voice carried obvious uncertainty.
Charlie shrugged.
"You can't guarantee that Norbert won't hurt anyone."
"Unless you want to live alone with the Dragon, never interacting with anyone else, it's best to train it well and let it know who's the boss."
Hagrid looked at Norbert, then at Harry, falling into deep conflict.
The Baby Dragon was still biting Hagrid's finger, emitting low growls.
Wild light flickered in its yellow vertical pupils.
"But I don't know how to train a Dragon," Hagrid scratched his messy beard, his face full of worry.
Charlie smiled wickedly.
"I do."
Hagrid's eyes instantly lit up.
"Really? Charlie, can you help me train Norbert?"
"Of course." Charlie nodded.
"But we need to move to a different place; it's too small here."
Hagrid nodded repeatedly.
"Then where do we go?"
"Outside the Forbidden Forest." Charlie pointed out the window.
"There's no one else there, so Norbert won't be discovered."
A few minutes later, the group arrived at a clearing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid carefully held Norbert, afraid of hurting it.
The Baby Dragon squirmed in his arms, occasionally opening its mouth to bite the air.
Charlie raised his wand and waved it a few times.
"Vera Verto."
The vines on the ground quickly transformed into a sturdy iron chain.
Charlie picked up the iron chain and fastened it around Norbert's neck.
Norbert let out an angry roar, struggling desperately.
But the iron chain was quite sturdy, and as a newly hatched Baby Dragon, it couldn't break the chain.
"Charlie, you're abusing him!" Hagrid cried anxiously.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt him."
Hagrid was still a bit uneasy but didn't stop Charlie.
Charlie tossed the other end of the iron chain onto a branch overhead.
He then handed the end of the chain to Harry and Ron, quietly telling them what to do next.
Harry and Ron took the chain, exchanged glances, their faces strange.
"Put him down," Charlie said.
Hagrid reluctantly placed Norbert on the ground.
As soon as the Baby Dragon touched the ground, it tried to bite through the iron chain, but its strength was not yet enough to do so.
Charlie walked towards Norbert.
The Baby Dragon saw Charlie approaching and immediately arched its back, assuming an attacking posture.
Charlie gently poked Norbert's mouth with a stick.
Norbert instantly bristled, opening its mouth to bite.
"Kite!" Charlie shouted.
Harry and Ron yanked the iron chain hard.
Norbert's body was instantly pulled off the ground, its four paws flailing in the air.
"Clang." The iron chain was pulled taut.
Pan Hong's little animal training tricks! Kid!
Hermione covered her mouth.
Malfoy was dumbfounded.
"Oh my!" Hagrid anxiously stepped forward, wanting to save Norbert.
"Charlie, let him down!"
"Wait." Charlie stopped Hagrid.
"Think about Harry with his neck bitten off."
Hagrid's steps faltered, the image of Harry's neck being bitten off flashing in his mind, he stopped, looking at Norbert struggling in the air, his eyes welling up with tears.
"Alright, put him down."
[Your Majesty is obsessed with dog training, neglecting proper duties, tyrant points + 3]
Charlie ignored the system, and seeing that Norbert was out of breath, he told Harry and Ron to let go.
Norbert fell to the ground, lying there for a while before recovering.
He looked at Charlie angrily, opening his mouth to bite again.
"Kite!" Charlie shouted again.
Harry and Ron cooperated tacitly, pulling again.
Norbert was once again suspended in mid-air.
This was repeated several times, with other little tricks from Pan Hong interspersed.
Eating Dragon fruit, a heart-wrenching kick, CPR, war stomp.
Norbert was fine, no longer biting, and would even twist his little feet when he saw Charlie.
Hagrid had initially been a bit reluctant, but when he saw Norbert affectionately leaning against Charlie, rubbing his head against Charlie's calf, he couldn't help but exclaim:
"A miracle worker, Charlie."
