From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 110 Where is Xiaolong?

"Remember what we are here for, Harry?" Ron looked at the absent-minded Harry and decided to divert his attention.

"Uh... help Hagrid feed the dragon?" Harry really stopped thinking about Dumbledore. He didn't deduct points from Gryffindor anyway.

"Yes! Hagrid has opened the door and gone in. Shall we go see the dragon? Perhaps we can ask about the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest..." Ron pointed his thumb at the wooden wall behind him and asked in a desperate tone, "Anyway, we already know that Professor Quirrell is a dark wizard, so it's no big deal to know a little more about his criminal process."

After only a brief hesitation, Harry agreed with Ron. After all, things had come to this point, how much worse could they get?

So the two knocked on Hagrid's wooden door and heard his familiar rough voice: "Who is it?"

"It's me! Harry!"

"And Ron!"

The door opened, and Hagrid looked behind them, seeing that there was no one on the path, so he gladly invited the two in.

The furnishings in the room were different from what the two were familiar with. It was surprisingly clean and tidy. The tableware that was scattered everywhere was put back in place, the chicken feathers and empty brandy bottles on the floor disappeared, and there was a pleasant scent of grass in the air. Even the black marks on the table that were once burned by Xiaolong disappeared.

"What on earth is this..." Harry and Ron both felt their brains were insufficient. Is this still the messy but warm little cabin?

"Where's the dragon?" Harry asked. "Don't ever tell me that was just a dream!"

"Hey, of course it wasn't a dream." Hagrid smiled slyly, "It's well hidden, isn't it?"

"It's amazing!" Ron was dumbfounded and used his hands to measure the size. "I remember when I came here last week, it was almost half a person's height. It must be even bigger now! Where did you hide it?"

"It wasn't me, it was Ivy who hid it!" Hagrid was in high spirits, even humming a song. "Did you know? The Ministry of Magic and the Board of Directors are going to build a base for magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Dumbledore recommended me to be the manager there. Then, I can legally keep Norbeta there!"

"Is this also Ivy's work?" Ron asked doubtfully. "Even if he was a wizard over a hundred years old, there was no way he could have persuaded the Ministry of Magic to react in such a short time. My dad said they were a bunch of bureaucratic snails who procrastinated. It would take them decades to discuss laws, which only required talking. How could they send someone to Hogwarts to review it so quickly?"

"His Slytherin friends helped, too." Hagrid shrugged, not looking particularly concerned. "That's what he told me."

"Don't talk about that!" Harry interrupted, not wanting to hear Ron complain about the Ministry's bureaucracy. "Where did he hide the dragon?"

"I don't know either." Hagrid admitted generously, "Because I have to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's review team, so it is certainly not appropriate to keep Norbeta in the house. He put Norbeta in his pocket and took her away that day. Maybe I am somewhere in the castle now?"

"In your pocket?" Harry asked.

"It should be some kind of magic, right?" Hagrid was not sure. "Anyway, in that instant, Norbeta disappeared. He even decorated the house for me, saying that it was to leave a good impression on the review team."

"Ivy must be crazy!" Ron groaned, "He actually keeps a dragon in the castle! What if it sets something on fire..." "Don't worry, Ron. Ivy has plenty of ways to deal with Norberta, and it's just a little dragon." Harry advised.

"Breathing fire!" In the unknown map secret room in the basement of Hogwarts Castle, Ivy was trying to play the role of a dragon trainer.

"call!"

Norbeta generously sprayed out a bright spark. It was not because Ivy was naturally compatible with the little dragon, nor was it the effect of Xiaoyan squatting beside him. It was all due to a 4th-level enchantment spell, Charm Monster.

As a fire dragon with one of the best anti-magic abilities in the HP world, it is difficult for it to resist magic from the DND world. This may be related to the fact that Norbeta has not yet fully developed.

After all, charm a monster requires a perception immunity. The little dragon, which is just over a month old, obviously has no attribute advantages, and its immature mind is unable to distinguish the effects of spells, so even if the effect of the charm monster is over, the little dragon will not feel anything wrong.

After fiddling with the little dragon, Ivy gave Xiaoyan the order to guard the secret room, and then went to another secret room.

As Ivy's wizard pet, Xiaoyan's loyalty has become stronger and stronger over time. Of course, a magical creature cannot disobey its creator. Ivy feels that it is time to find an opportunity to give it more advanced intelligence.

When they arrived at the Room of Requirement, Cassandra had been waiting for a long time.

The first batch of Chinese cabbages planted in spring have matured and it is time to harvest them.

Ivy will teach her a spell to shrink the cabbage and preserve it so that she can throw it out when she encounters danger.

Using herbal plants to fight is undoubtedly a green and environmentally friendly method, so Ivy can teach it openly without having to hide it in Cassandra's memory as before.

"Lord Doom." Cassandra was still very respectful, but Ivy could tell that this was not just a greeting. She had something else to say, "...I found something."

Ivy raised an eyebrow, waiting for her explanation.

"Since I first discovered the Room of Requirement, I've often come here to hang out, not just to tend to the plants. This room makes me feel peaceful," Cassandra said. "But one time, when I wanted to hide a pile of moon beast feces (which is a very good magical plant fertilizer)... I found a messy room with everything in it, piles of tables and chairs, books thrown on the ground, and all kinds of discarded things..."

"And... a crown... I found it from a tattered bust..." Cassandra's face showed considerable struggle. After a long while, she gasped and said, "I think it is a relic of Ravenclaw... Only a wizard like you can be worthy of it..."

Cassandra took out an object wrapped in black cloth from behind her back. It looked like a ring. When she lifted the cloth, a glittering crown appeared in front of Ivy.

Ivy confirmed its true identity with just one glance, because the thing that proved its identity was engraved on the top: "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind."
