Where's My Giant Fire Dragon?

In fact, Hermione still doesn't understand Kyle at all.

Let alone a trivial final exam, even if there were OWLs tomorrow, he wouldn't miss Quidditch.

The reason he didn't participate in the competition this time was because he received something special.

Five minutes ago, an owl suddenly flew into the locker room and threw a chipped teacup in front of Kyle.

"Kyle, someone sent you trash!" Goalkeeper Fello said with a grim expression after seeing the teacup. "The match is about to start, who could have done this? Could it be those Slytherin again...?"

Kyle didn't speak, he just stared blankly at the teacup.

He recognized it immediately; it belonged to Hagrid. He had previously advised Hagrid to throw it away, so it left a very deep impression on him.

"I'm sorry, Captain, I have something to take care of and I might not be able to participate in the next match."

Without any hesitation, Kyle didn't even take off his jersey; he just mounted his broom and dashed out of the locker room.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, and by the time they came to their senses, Kyle was already gone.

"Um... this is the first time I've seen Kyle so serious." Fello clicked his tongue and said, "Do you think he might find out who sent the package and go after them?"

"It shouldn't be..." Cedric shook his head.

More than anger, Kyle's expression just now seemed to suggest he was worried about something.

"But what about the game?" Beater Will said. "We're about to go on."

"It's alright, there's still time to change people. I'll go find Madam Hooch right now." Harris left the dressing room without looking back.

Meanwhile, Kyle, having left the locker room, rode his broomstick swiftly across the field and arrived at Hagrid's cabin.

As soon as Kyle got off the broom, he heard a heavy, rapid breathing sound.

Inside the room, Hagrid was clinging tightly to Norbert, desperately trying to cover its mouth and wings.

But by this time, Norbert had grown to be almost the size of Three-headed Dog, and his strength was astonishing. Even Hagrid had a great difficulty controlling him.

His arm bulged with bruises, and his face turned bright red.

Kyle quickly stepped forward and, through a combination of coaxing and cajoling, took out all the dried fish, which barely managed to calm the agitated Norbert down.

"Phew... Thank goodness you came..." Hagrid sat on the ground, panting heavily.

"What kind of game are you guys playing?" Kyle frowned. "If I had come any later, you guys would have destroyed this house."

"It's all my fault..." Hagrid said softly, head down. "Norbert has become increasingly irritable lately. Today, he insisted on going out, and when I tried to stop him, he started throwing a tantrum."

A few minutes later, Kyle roughly understood what had happened.

Simply put, Norbert is no longer as obedient as when it first hatched. It has become increasingly active, and as it grows rapidly, Hagrid's Hut is gradually becoming a "cage" in its eyes.

It desperately wanted to leave this place and go to a wider place, and then it erupted today. Hagrid, of course, dared not let it out and could only desperately try to stop it.

Kyle could understand; anyone would feel uncomfortable being locked up in a place about their own size, let alone Norbert, who was a temperamental Dragon. The fact that he had endured it this long was already a great favor to Hagrid.

"You should have written to me sooner!" Kyle said, rubbing his forehead.

Because he was busy making a new batch of "Exam-Passing Talisman, and also because of Quidditch, he hadn't been here much lately.

As a result, Hagrid pulled off this huge surprise.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have believed Hagrid's promise, saying he'd write to Norber when Norbert was as big as Fang, but now Norber is almost a whole size bigger than Fluffy!

Hagrid realized the seriousness of the situation and said with a reluctant expression, "Take it with you tomorrow."

"Forget tomorrow, let's do it now," Kyle said. "It could erupt again at any time, and that would be even more troublesome."

"Now?" Hagrid frowned. "But how are you going to get it out of here? The Quidditch Pitch is right across the street. If Norbert leaves the house, lots of people will see it... Oh, right, we can put it in a box. You wait here for me a bit!"

Hagrid got up and ran outside.

After he left, Kyle came to Norbert, took a box out of the Mokeskin Pouch, opened it, and placed it on the ground.

"Let's go in... It's a bit basic, but it's definitely much better than here."

Norbert turned its wings, and although it didn't quite understand, it still stuck its head into the box out of trust in Kyle.

The next second, Norbert found himself in a very wide open space.

Thanks to Kyle's efforts over this period, coupled with his increasingly proficient Undetectable Extension Charm, the space inside the box is now large enough to hold almost two Hogwarts School... not the castle, but the entire school except for the Forbidden Forest.

Although it's still far from the ultimate goal, it's enough to raise a Dragon.

Afterwards, Kyle instructed Norbert to be careful not to bully the Troll and the plants.

Norbert continued soaring in the sky, giving a perfunctory breath of dragonfire as a gesture of agreement.

Just as Kyle emerged from the box, Hagrid returned.

He was carrying a large, long wooden box, and Fang was following behind him, howling loudly.

Hagrid just took his favorite plush toy, and he wants it back.

"Kyle, what do you think of this box? It can definitely fit Norbert... Hmm, where's Norbert?"

Hagrid suddenly noticed that Kyle was the only one in the room, and Norbert, who had been sitting in the corner, was gone.

"It... it won't fly away, will it...?"

Hagrid's face turned pale instantly, and the wooden crate in his hand fell to the ground.

My worst fears came true: Norbert ran away...

The players on the field aren't just young wizards anymore; the professor is there too. What if they see the Dragon suddenly appear from the Forbidden Forest...?

"Hagrid, Norbert isn't gone."

Kyle calmly closed the box and put it back into the Mokeskin Pouch. "Weren't you just outside the house? Did you see it leave?"

Hagrid shook his head subconsciously, and his anxiety eased considerably.

He definitely didn't see Norbert leave the house.

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of it," Kyle said.

"Alright?"

Hagrid's eyes widened. "But... how did you do that?"

That was Dragon! The kind that moves and gets angry, and it just vanished like that?

"Just a little trick," Kyle chuckled. "Alright, crisis's over. I need to hurry back to watch the game. Want to come with me?"
