Hogwarts: Starting as a Card Maker from a Failed Art Student

Chapter 101 Malfoy, you can get your hands on an adult female dragon, right?

Chapter 102 Malfoy, you can get your hands on an adult female dragon, right? (Devilish smile)

A fully grown female dragon?!

Ron looked like someone had shoved a toad into his mouth and blurted out:

"Dude, are you crazy?"

"Um?"

Ethan turned his head and smiled at Ron.

Ron's rationality immediately kicked in.

"Uh! I mean, do you really want to keep one of those things?"

Ron reached out and pointed at the ugly black dragon cub, his face full of disgust.

The little guy immediately breathed on him, and the flames he exhaled scorched a section of the thick hardwood table.

Ron quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Hagrid accusingly.

Hagrid shrieked, "Oh—how lively!"

"But, Ethan."

Harry changed the subject, trying his best to keep up with Ethan's train of thought:

"Even if you wanted to use the mother dragon to raise the cubs, where would you put them?"

"A fully grown dragon could flatten Hagrid's house with just one foot!"

Ethan was about to explain.

Then Hermione Granger suddenly exclaimed:

"Idiot! There's a perfectly good spot right here!"

Hermione crossed her arms, her eyes gleaming with confidence and pride.

As if he had solved a difficult problem posed by the professor, he said smugly:

"Hogwarts might not have enough space, but isn't the Forbidden Forest quite spacious?"

"We can raise the mother and child in the forbidden forest!"

？ ！！

Harry and Ron were dumbfounded.

After a two-second silence, before Hagrid could even begin to agree with the plan, Harry hurriedly retorted:

"But...but this is illegal!"

Hermione Granger raised her chin and curled the corners of her mouth.

Looking at Harry with the same disdainful gaze one would give a pathetic subhuman lacking intelligence, he said:

"The book clearly states that during the goblin rebellion, there were dragons in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, and not just one. "Due to rampant poaching, they were gradually moved to protected areas."

"Dragons live on their own in the Forbidden Forest, how can you say we raised them?"

"We haven't broken any laws!"

Harry & Ron: (speaking)!?

Is that even possible?!

"This is Ethan's carefully considered answer!"

Hermione said excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

"Firstly, it allows the baby dragon to experience a pristine environment and maternal love; secondly, it allows Hagrid to visit it in the Forbidden Forest anytime without being separated from it!"

Hagrid was moved to tears: "Oh—Ethan!"

Hermione paused, cleared her throat, and finally said:

"Thirdly, it will enrich the Forbidden Forest's species, restore its former glory, and make Hogwarts great again!"

"We might even get to interact with real dragons in our third-grade Magical Protection class!"

Harry & Ron: "...—"

Please, please don't—

"Ethan, am I right? Is that what you really think?"

Hermione turned her head sharply to look at Ethan, as if seeking praise.

Ethan, who simply wanted to get an adult dragon to be the boss of the ancient city: ".—

You know everything, what else can I say?

ponder for a moment.

Ethan raised his head, a smile appearing on his face, and said firmly:

"right."

That's exactly what I think.

at once.

Hermione spread her hands on the floor, curled her nose, and looked at Harry and Ron through her nostrils.

That expression seemed to say:

See? That's exactly what Ethan thinks!

Harry and Ron were dumbfounded.

Looking at Ethan, although she felt something was off, she was gradually brainwashed by the undeniable atmosphere.

"So that's how it is. In such a short time, Ethan actually thought of so much—"

"So thoughtful! He's definitely more capable than the three of us combined. No wonder he's Ethan..."

"Ming ming—thank you, Ethan—you're such a good person—"

Amidst the shower of compliments, Ethan gradually began to enjoy it.

Hermione: "But Ethan, there's still one thing I don't understand. Where are you going to get an adult female dragon?"

Ron exclaimed in horror, "Don't look at me! My brother Charlie may raise dragons, but he would never send me a dragon!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Hagrid's expression suddenly changed!

He leaped to his feet, ran to the window, and whispered, "Someone's there! Someone was peeking through the curtains—it was a boy—running towards the school!"

Harry and Ron rushed to the door, looked outside, and exclaimed:

"It's Malfoy! He saw the dragon!"

Harry said with a grim face, "He'll definitely get in our way, and he might even tell the professor."

Hermione's face turned deathly pale, and she cried out in bewilderment, "What... what do we do?"

Ron (undeniably relieved): "We don't have time to look for any mother dragon, we need to get this little thing away immediately—"

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Ethan's calm voice interrupted their argument.

His cobalt blue eyes stared straight out the window.

You're blocking my view.

next second.

A dark door opens between the inside and outside of the house.

"Thump!"

Malfoy, who was just running around happily, fell hard to the ground from inside the door.

"Help, help me—!"

Malfoy screamed and thrashed about like a fish thrown ashore.

He looked up and met five faces looking down at him.

Malfoy: Hello.

Malfoy was petrified by Hermione's petrification spell.

He lay stiffly on the ground, his eyes wide with terror, unable to move.

Ethan: "Now, I'm going to tell you what I need you to do."

"If you have a problem with that, just blink."

Malfoy, petrified: ? Are you even speaking human language? Ethan: "I need you to get us an adult female Norwegian Ridgeback, preferably one that has just lost its eggs. Put it in the Forbidden Forest."

Malfoy: Huh? Me? ? ?

Ethan grinned kindly, squatted down with his legs apart, raised his hand, and gently patted Malfoy's face, saying softly:

"I believe the Malfoy family has the capability and the willingness to support me, right?"

Malfoy looked like he was about to break the petrification curse through sheer willpower; his whole body was trembling.

Ethan turned his head and said brightly, "He said he'd be happy to."

Hermione clasped her hands together: "Ethan, you're absolutely a genius!"

Harry & Ron: "..—"

Dude, you should probably get your brain checked.

The only adult present, Hagrid, was completely absorbed in the wonderful fantasy of having the baby dragon by his side.

She kept crying and saying "thank you," selectively blind.

Ethan straightened up, casually cast a spell to stop Malfoy from moving.

Malfoy instinctively thought, "I need to tell my father—" Ethan replied, "Go ahead, we'll be waiting for your good news.'

Malfoy: Choking.jpg

Ethan gently reminded him, "By the way, if you leak this, I'll lock you inside my painting and let you have a good time with my Cerberus."

"Wow!!"

Malfoy ran away crying.

Apart from Hagrid's cries, the room was deathly silent.

"Alright," Ethan said, turning to Ron with satisfaction, "you—" Ron jolted, instinctively snapping to attention and shouting, "Yes, sir!"

Ethan: "...You still write to your brother Charlie, but only say that a dragon has flown into the Forbidden Forest, and ask him to call his companions to help."

"After all, they are the experts when it comes to raising dragons."

Moreover, I also need manpower to help subdue an adult dragon.

Ethan already had an idea.

It's impractical to simply stuff a dragon under a trapdoor.

He needs a new painting—a second-order painting, a "canvas cage" that can seal creatures within it.

We'll use that extraordinary paint, [Starry Night].
