Chapter 136: Hagrid in Tears, Norbert
Only Leonardo and Hagrid were left in the hut.
Setting his empty teacup down, Leonardo hesitated for a moment, then decided to be just as blunt.
“Hagrid, I have a rather shameless favour to ask. I was hoping you could help me.”
“Oh, sure. What is it?” Hagrid said, back to him as he gently turned the dragon egg, trying to settle it more comfortably in the fire.
Faced with that open friendliness, Leonardo’s voice pa...

Chapter 135: Hatching the Dragon Egg, Three Worried Kids
In Hagrid’s hut.
Leonardo was prodding the logs in the fireplace with the poker, stirring them so the flames would burn higher.
It was mostly for show.
According to what Newt had taught him, a dragon egg needed its mother close by, breathing on it constantly, bathing it in warm air, and, at intervals, washing it in small bursts of dragonfire. The latter was the real key.
A dragon’s magical fire burned...

Chapter 134: What Can Quirrell Do? Hagrid in the Library
In Defence Against the Dark Arts, Leonardo sat upright in his seat.
On the surface, he listened attentively to Quirrell’s lecture. In his head, he was already working out how to kill Quirrell’s master.
In Harry’s second and third years, Voldemort had never truly returned. His power to stir up trouble had not reached its peak; each time he did something, it was confined to Hogwarts.
But af...

Chapter 133: Niffler Ginger, How To Raise a Dragon
Leonardo was dangling a small, mole‑like creature by the scruff.
The young Niffler’s tiny paws were scrabbling frantically, stuffing something into the pouch on its belly.
“I am terribly sorry,” Newt said with an awkward smile, taking the Niffler from Leonardo. “Ginger is still very young. Curiosity is at its peak…”
He pinched Ginger gently by the back of the neck and with his other han...

Chapter 90: Endless Food
Ila’s nervous explanation gave Shawn yet another glimpse into Sir Cadogan’s past.
Bored out of his mind for years, the knight had even taken to spending time in one of the tiny paintings in the kitchens. As he himself put it:
"If I have to watch it and cannot eat it, then by Arthur’s crown, you may as well burn me now."
In time, he had come to know almost every house‑elf down here.
Long ago, there was a boy who bullied the house...

Chapter 89: The Kitchens
Wind slipped in through the stained glass. Shawn sipped the pumpkin juice Justin had produced from Merlin knew where.
A few thin clouds floated in the sky like white flowers in an oil painting. Sunlight on his shoulders made him feel pleasantly warm.
Sleep allows spirits, ghosts, and Doubles to move freely; distance poses no barrier. Even those far apart may establish direct contact, sometimes in the form of a half‑conversation.

Chapter 88: Secrets
It seemed Gryffindor were not the only ones out for flight training. Even from a distance, Shawn could see a knot of Hufflepuffs heading into the Quidditch pitch, chatting and laughing as they went.
As he passed them, he caught a glimpse of broomsticks and book covers. The broad‑smiling Hufflepuff on the far left was carrying The Beaters’ Bible – "Knock the Seeker out of the sky" was rule one in that particular volume.
In the midd...

Chapter 87: The Flight Test
Neville had clearly not expected anyone to wait quietly in one place for over ten minutes. When he finally dared to turn around, he saw the same calm face looking back at him.
His expression, already on the verge of tears, nearly broke into a full sob.
Shawn sat down lightly and, with a tap of his wand, turned the book in his hand into a blue cushion.
Transfiguration and Charms had once again been lifted to the top of his priority list.

Great Hall.
At the edge of the cluster, the salamander suddenly shot into the air, spinning wildly around the room and spitting sprays of sparks with loud bangs.
Percy was hoarsely bawling Fred and George out. The fire‑dwelling lizard’s mouth spewed orange‑red stars. It was chaotic and spectacular.
With a string of crackling explosions, the salamander dove into the hearth and vanished in the flames. All of it only made Shawn’s alr...

One thousand two hundred Galleons?!

As if it had been waiting for his confusion, a slip of parchment floated up out of the bag.

Hogwarts really was absurdly rich. Shawn tucked the bag away. It was itself a valuable item; with its runespoor skin and complex alchemical work, its price had always been high.

Being surrounded by a crowd of portraits was an odd experience, especially when most of those portraits had very little say in the matter.
The atmosphere in the Headmaster’s office turned solemn at last. Albus Dumbledore, beard long and white, lifted his hand.
A floating letter spun once and sliced through the air to stop in front of Shawn.
He heard the crackle of the fire blend with the kettle’s soft burbling, and then Dumbledore’s kindly ...

Over the next few days, Dudley kept turning that mysterious card over in his mind, to the point he barely paid attention to the fact that his birthday was almost here.
This year, he received far more presents than ever before. A large portion came from his mum and dad. They had made a lot of money over the past year, and they certainly were not going to be stingy with Dudley, especially considering how crucial a role he had played in that big deal.

In a corner of Hogwarts’ third greenhouse, Professor Pomona Sprout stood with a small trowel in hand, frowning at a cluster of clearly ailing Allure Flowers.

They had been pollinated and had set seed, but letting them shrivel like this still felt like a ...

This was not how it should look.
