Chapter 84: Accio Stupid Dragon

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It happened when everyone else was totally focused on the game and only he was interested in finding the snitch.

He wanted to test his transfigured eyes and see if he would be able to find the snitch in the air before the other seekers.

Turned out that trying to find a small shiny thing in a large stadium didn't not help with the disorienting feeling that came with using some other bird's eyes.

It was more like seeing through a telescope with 20x zoom. Even the smallest bit of disturbance would change your view to some other place so trying to find the snitch was a futile attempt.

Maybe if he had Selena's eyes then he would have been able to see the magical signature of the snitch and find it through that trail.

But he had tried to change his eyes into that of Selena's as well and had not gained any special powers because of it.

As it was, his goal of finding the snitch before the other seekers was doomed to failure from the start.

But just as he was going to give up and read a book instead of wasting anymore of his time, he saw a trail of smoke coming from the other end of the school.

What was that?

He didn't know. But he was sure that so much smoke coming from the near the forbidden forest could not be a good thing.

And why was no one else worried about the smoke.

Oh. 20x zoom eyes and all.

Should he even care about it at all?

He tried to recall any such event from the movies but came up empty handed.

Apparently the butterfly effect was already showing results.

"Hermione. Penelope." He tugged at the two girls.

"What is it Harry?" Penelope asked, a bit louder than necessary. It seemed like she was still in the high of the game.

"There's a fire going on somewhere near the Forbidden Forest." He informed them "Someone might need our help."

Well, he did say that but the main reason for going after the fire was that he was bored out of his mind in the stadium and going anywhere else might be better than staying here for another hour.

Penelope was not willing to go but he and Hermione were somehow able to persuade her to tend to the fire despite the game.

"Shouldn't we tell anyone else Harry. I mean, like some teacher or Prefect." Hermione asked as they descended the stairs of the stadium.

"The fire is not big enough that we would need the intervention of a staff member and we already have a Prefect." He said pointing at Penelope.

"Now that I think about it. Why can't I see the smoke from here Harry?" Penelope said as she tried to take a peek at the forbidden forest from this distance.

"Because I have the eyes of the hawk." He said giving a nod to Hermione who instantly understood his meaning and gave a nod in return.

Once they came out of the stadium all of them took out their Nimbus 2000 from their personal limitless pouch and flew toward the smoke.

And as they came closer to the fire, they finally realized what was burning.

It was none other than Hagrid's hut.

"Oh my god. Hagrid needs our help Harry" Penelope panic upon seeing his burning hut and he could tell that Hermione must be panicking as well and probably having second thought about bringing a teacher.

Well, at least it was not the forbidden forest that was on fire.

That would have been harder to control.

But Hagrid hut should be easy.

"Relax Penelope. He's alright." Harry said as he used the hawk eyes and saw the half giant throwing water one bucket at a time at his burning hut.

On top of their brooms, they were able to cross the distance of half the school in record time and he could hear Hermione and Penelope gasp at how badly the hut was burning at this point.

"Oh… Fang. Oh Norbert. What have you done my baby." The half giant was openly crying at this point while still throwing bucket after bucket of water at the burning hut.

Wait who were Fang and Norbert again.

He used his occlumency and took a trip down the memory lane and remembered who those two characters were.

Fang was jut a large cowardly dog and Norbert.

Norbert was a fucking dragon that Hagrid thought he would be able to control.

In the original timeline, the original Harry, Hermione and Ron had managed to knock some sense into the thick skull of the half giant and had given the dragon to Ron's elder brother Charlie who worked in a dragon reserve.

But this time, there was no one who could tell Hagrid that keeping a fire breathing dragon inside a wooden hut with grass straws for a roof might not be such a good idea.

Especially since the dragons grow at such a rapid pace.

And the dragon grown.

He could still the it belching flames at the hut even now. A foolish dragon for a foolish master.

Hermione and Penelope instantly came down from their brooms and started conjuring water and throwing it at the hut.

Hermione was doing a far better job at it but Penelope was doing best as well.

He would have loved to say that it was the thought that counted but it really didn't.

These two were too slow.

"Stop. Stop." He said as he descended from the air removing his shroud and making his presence known to Hagrid. "Get back." He ordered "I'll handle this."

He could see that Hagrid wanted to tell him something but he was in no mood to hear.

With a wave of his hand, a translucent dome formed over the hut, covering every part of it inside the dome.

Then he took out his wand his it's holster as the next bit of magic was going to take a lot of concentration from him.

Then he pointed at the hut, used his intent to transfigure the oxygen inside the dome into carbon dioxide and willed it to happen.

Anyone else would need a lot of concentration to do such a delicate transfiguration work.

After all, changing air was far different and far harder than changing liquid or solid because it is harder to point at a specific place in the air.

In fact, he had no doubts that even Minerva would find such a thing extremely hard to do.

But he knew he would be able to do it.

Not because he understood much more about the air particles and molecules than most others in the school but because he trusted his magic to do what was needed.

Just like how he trusted his magic to make up the neural pathways along with the arteries and the veins when he added more muscle to someone's body.

And just like always.

His magic followed his will and the air inside the dome saw a subtle change happen to it.

All the fire raging inside down down at once.

Well, not all as some flamable parts of the hut still burned with their dying breath and Norbert was still belching flames every now and then but everything else was alright.

With a wave of his hand, a dog muzzle appeared in thin air and closed Norbert's mouth once and for all.

"Now use the water in places which are still burning." He said to the girls but Hagrid might have heard him as well cause he followed after the two girls with his bucket as well.

Then Harry removed the dome and Hermione and Penelope started dealing with the last remnants of the fire in Hut.

"Accio stupid dragon." He mumbled and the magic followed his will and brought Norbert to him.

The dragon had now grown to the size of a large dog so he had to use his telekinesis to hold the dragon and he suddenly felt exhaustion hitting his body all at once.

Transfiguring all the oxygen molecules inside the hut inside the dome had taken out more from him than he had expected.

But he was still not so exhausted that he would let the unruly dragon burn anything else.

With another thought a large amount of acromantula silk came out of his limitless purse and bound the wings, tail and legs of the dragon.

He felt the urge to use even more of the silk and turn the dragon into a cocoon but discarded the idea as soon as it came to his mind as such a thing would be needlessly cruel to the dragon.

Then he remembered another thing and pointed at the hut once again and called "Accio dog."

And a large dog came out the hut just as Norbert did. Except that this dog had suffered from numerous 1st and 2nd degree burns along with a few 3rd degree burns.

The dog let out a pitiful whine as it landed on his feet and he gave the slobbering beast a disgusted glance and said "Stay Still."

And roots came out of the ground and bound it to it's place, stopping it from moving around and making it's injuries worse.

He could not tell how long the beast will live with such injuries but without proper medical treatment, it's chances were not looking very good.

"Oh… Fang." Hagrid cried from somewhere in the distance but he needed peace and quiet along with a lot of concentration for what he was about to do next.

So with a thought, he conjured another shield to cover both him and the dog so that the half giant would not disturb him and fuck this sh*t up.

Then he pointed his wand at the dying dog, put all of his will and intent behind his magic and said in Parseltongue "Heal."

A golden mist came out of the wand and covered the dog a little at a time, healing all of it's wounds as the mist rolled over it's body.

The whole thing was a bit too dramatic and a little to showy for his liking and he had never seen the golden mist come out when he was healing his test subjects but oh well.

The mist seemed to be doing a good job of healing the dog and… wait… why did he saved it in the first place.

Because he did not like this one all that much.

Not that he didn't like dogs in general but dogs were supposed to be loyal and brave and this dog was anything but that. On top of that, it was butt ugly and the saliva contantly dripping down it's mouth only filled him with more disgust toward the beast.

And then he remembered.

Hermione and Penelope were here as well. And they would have been sad if the dog had died despite their best efforts.

The golden mist vanished into thin air after going over it's entire body and the dying dog was not dying anymore.

Hurreeh!!

That was was sarcastic hurreeh by the way.
