Facing Draco's somewhat childish threats, Chen Yu's response was: "Daga, kotowaru." (Yes, but I refuse.)

What you said is true, but I refuse.

Although he had already finished reading and memorized the magic books and notes he had extorted from Draco, those items were already useless.

But to let Draco easily take these notebooks and magic books without any conditions? Where would Chen Yu's pride be?

You offended the abbot and still want to leave?

So, there was a condition to get the magic books and notebooks back.

"Malfoy, unless you promise not to tell a third person about our exchange, I won't give you back those magic books and notebooks!"

Chen Yu said righteously.

Malfoy, however, looked pleased: Is there such a good thing?

Originally, Malfoy only wanted to get his family's things back, but he didn't expect Chen Yu to be so foolish as to propose such a condition.

As long as Chen Yu didn't tell Harry, couldn't Malfoy use this secret to threaten Harry again?

Even with Chen Yu watching, he couldn't do anything to Harry, but just seeing Harry grit his teeth and be helpless against him was a kind of enjoyment.

Draco immediately said happily: "Deal! Whoever reneges is an Obscurial!"

After getting what he wanted from Chen Yu, Malfoy skipped away, clearly in a good mood.

Chen Yu sighed, undergoing "conscience's" "condemnation" for being a "mole" this one time.

He condemned his "heartless" behavior for three seconds, no more.

The reason he agreed to Draco's deal, and added a condition that seemed unfavorable to himself, was twofold.

Firstly, those books were indeed useless, and returning them to Draco wouldn't be a loss for him.

Secondly, it would allow Draco to continue provoking Harry and Ron, keeping them in a state of tension.

This would allow Harry and Ron to continue whispering in Hagrid's ear, slowly shaking Hagrid's resolve to raise a dragon.

Moreover, if he refused Draco, the Little Wizards might become enraged and really expose Hagrid's dragon-raising activities.

Chen Yu didn't want to raise a newly hatched Little Dragon right now.

After all, newly born Little Dragons aren't without a mortality rate. If it died on his hands, he would be heartbroken.

And this was when the Little Dragon needed to be fed most frequently.

Chen Yu didn't want to be like Hagrid, feeding it every half hour when the Little Dragon was awake.

He was raising a dragon for fun and to look cool, not to be a nanny.

So, it was better to let Hagrid raise the Little Dragon for a while longer, until it was healthy, and then Chen Yu would find a way to get the dragon back from Hagrid.

With proximity comes opportunity; Chen Yu didn't believe that a duck almost cooked could still fly away.

With this thought, Chen Yu went into the kitchen, got some minced meat, and returned to feed his Biting Cabbage.

When he returned to the dormitory, he saw the somewhat wilted Biting Cabbage.

At this time, the Biting Cabbage's outer orange-yellow-green leaves were now a bit yellow and soft.

Its mouth was half-open, looking listless.

Biting Cabbage wouldn't give Chen Yu a good face just because he watered it for a few days.

When Chen Yu approached, the Biting Cabbage opened its ferocious mouth, aimed at Chen Yu, and swayed back and forth, seemingly warning Chen Yu not to come closer.

Until Chen Yu pulled a small plate of minced meat from his Serenitea Pot.

The Biting Cabbage's expression instantly changed.

At this time, although its mouth was still wide open, the frequency of opening and closing had obviously changed.

Its body swayed more violently, and the friction between its leaves made a "puchi, puchi, puchi" sound.

It was like a puppy that had been hungry for several meals, eagerly awaiting feeding.

Indeed, if Professor Sprout hadn't reminded him, Chen Yu would have really thought that raising Biting Cabbage was like raising ordinary plants, just putting it in soil, watering it, and giving it some sunlight.

This also led to the Biting Cabbage being starved.

Chen Yu threw a piece of minced meat into the Biting Cabbage's mouth.

The Biting Cabbage actually started chewing.

Seeing that the Biting Cabbage really ate meat, he poured the rest of the plate into the Biting Cabbage's wide mouth.

The young Biting Cabbage took whatever came its way; even if its mouth couldn't hold it, it wrapped the meat chunks with its remaining leaves to prevent them from falling out.

Looking at the Biting Cabbage's ferocious mouth, Chen Yu didn't see any digestive tract or similar organs.

He really didn't understand how the Biting Cabbage swallowed the minced meat.

After eating, it burped and then became a lazy Biting Cabbage.

Chen Yu pulled out a bag of dragon dung fertilizer from his Serenitea Pot.

After eating its fill, the Biting Cabbage had no intention of biting anyone, and it also seemed to sense the bag of things Chen Yu took out, so it moved its body away a bit, its leaves swaying, as if it wanted Chen Yu to sprinkle the fertilizer there.

After Chen Yu used up the small bag of fertilizer, the Biting Cabbage moved its body back.

It exuded a lazy aura, like someone feeling drowsy after a big meal.

With just this simple feeding, the previously yellow and soft parts now looked much brighter.

Over the next week, Malfoy always wore a sinister smile, making Harry and Ron very uneasy.

Harry and Ron didn't know that a mole had emerged among them and had made an agreement with Malfoy, still fearing that Malfoy would complain to a professor or his father.

Harry also tried to persuade Hagrid multiple times, but still couldn't change Hagrid's desire to continue raising the dragon.

As a pure-blooded Norwegian Ridgeback, Norbert's growth rate was very fast; in just one week, he had grown three times in size.

He could now steadily spray thick smoke with sparks from his nose.

Especially when he sneezed, the thick smoke, accompanied by more sparks, directly ignited Hagrid's bed.

Hagrid, who ostensibly couldn't perform magic, also took a great deal of effort to extinguish the flames.

When Harry, Ron, Chen Yu, and Hermione came to Hagrid's hut again to see the Little Dragon, they saw that the bed, table, and wooden walls inside the hut all bore bite marks from the Little Dragon and signs of scorching by fire.

In this week, to look after the Little Dragon and clean up the messes it made, Hagrid had put his gamekeeper duties out of his mind. The floor was covered with brandy bottles and chicken feathers, making it impossible for the four Little Wizards to step inside the hut.

"I don't think I'll ever learn to take care of a Little Dragon like Charlie."

Seeing the mess, Ron said earnestly to Harry.

"Me neither."

Hermione echoed from the side, fanning her hand, wanting the pungent smell in the room to stay away from her.

The smell of evaporating alcohol, the bloody smell of chicken blood, the smell of burnt wood, and the smell of feces filled the entire hut.

The four had no choice but to help Hagrid clean up the mess left by the Little Dragon.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione used the Cleaning Charm to clear the trash on the floor and remove the strange smell from the air.

Chen Yu used Reparo to restore the damaged hut to its original state.

As the owner of the hut, Hagrid didn't really mind the environment in the room.

His giant blood gave Hagrid unparalleled adaptability to the environment; he didn't mind sleeping on a half-burnt bed last night and had adapted to the various pungent odors in the room.

But Hagrid knew that the four Little Wizards were helping him, so he thanked them: "Thank you for helping clean up the mess Norbert made. He has indeed been a bit mischievous and active lately, but this is a sign of his good health..."

Before Hagrid could finish, Norbert used his tail to smash the chair that Chen Yu had just repaired with Reparo, again.

Then he sneezed, and this time, not only smoke and sparks came out of his nostrils, but also a large ball of flame.

The flame sprayed directly onto the wall of the hut, igniting the wooden boards again.

Facing the gradually spreading flames, Hagrid remained calm.

"Well, Norbert learned to breathe fire early. This really is a sign of his good health."

Rubeus "Stubborn" Hagrid continued to explain to the Little Wizards who were cleaning up his mess.
