Yeah! Here's the new chapter!

________________________________________________________________________________________

After some time playing with Norberta and talking to Hagrid, the trio and I had to go back to school as we still had our second class of the morning.

All the way to school the trio were silent, and if their feelings of worry and irritation were any sign, they were probably still wondering what to do with Malfoy.

I know I said I wouldn't stop Malfoy from seeing the dragon, because that would put pressure on Hagrid to send Norberta away, but that doesn't mean I still won't play some pranks on him. Maybe that way he'll gain a little moderation and awareness.

...

...

...

...

Pfff, who am I kidding? Malfoy will probably get even worse.

-Next day – Hagrid's Hut-

"Did he like the teddy bear?" Hagrid asked, having just placed an obviously handcrafted teddy bear beside the baby dragon.

"She" I corrected him.

"Huh?" Hagrid looked at me confused.

"He's actually a she," I said.

"She? How did you find out?" Hagrid asked me curiously, easily believing I was right.

"It's her claws, they're more curved and wider, and that's a trait of female dragons, along with her body colors being sharper. Plus, she's fierce and lethal, and that's a trait seen in... Well, all females?" I replied, shivering a little as I remembered the moments when my mom was pregnant with Cele and had her mood swings.

"..."

"..."

"Makes sense," Hagrid said.

"So, do you already have an idea what you're going to name her?" I asked.

"Hmm, I don't know..." Hagrid said scratching his big beard, "If it was a boy I would have called him Norbert but now that I know it's a girl I have to come up with another name"

"How about Norberta?" I said jokingly.

"Huh? Norberta... That's a great name, Ethan!" Hagrid said happily, patting my shoulder.

"What?! No, no. I won't let you call her Norberta, that's a very bad female name" I said, as I always found the name Norberta strange, and now that there was a chance to change it, I wouldn't let Hagrid name the dragon that again.

'I didn't think he would accept the name so easily... And I was just kidding!' I thought, sweating at Hagrid's naming creativity.

"Why? I thought that name was so good" the half-giant said, confused.

"Because she's a fucking dragon, and obviously deserves a name worthy of her kind," I replied.

"Hmm, so what would be a good name for her?" Hagrid asked, and with that we both started to think.

As we thought of names, I looked over at Norberta who was playing with her wings and her little fire snort, which had more smoke than fire, making it look like she was dancing or bending, like in the anime, Avat...!

"Azula!" I then exclaimed.

"What?" Hagrid looked at me confused, a little surprised by my exclamation.

"Her name could be Azula!" I repeat.

"Azula?" Hagrid said, testing the name, before looking at the baby dragon, "Azula...I like it!" he exclaimed.

"From today on, you, little one, will be called Azula! Hahahaha!" Hagrid chuckled, pointing to the dragon formerly known as Norberta, who now went by the name Azula, "Great name Ethan" he nodded.

"I know" I replied satisfied.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

In one week Azula grew to three times her size, making her a little difficult to control. And if her size weren't bad enough, she got even wilder and more adventurous, but I couldn't blame her since every baby is like that, of course, apart from the fire-breathing part and having the strength to break a marble table.

The trio and I met a few times at Hagrid's hut, but in those moments neither of us talked to each other. To help care for the dragon with Hagrid, the trio and I took turns, and today is trio day.

-Hagrid's Hut-

[POV - 3rd Person]

"So Hagrid, how is he?" Granger asked, sipping some tea.

"It's not he, it's she. And now her name is Azula. And she's fine, as you can see" Hagrid said, pointing to Azula who was biting one of the wood he'd cut for the firewood.

"She is a girl? How did you find out?" Granger asked.

"Oh, it wasn't me, it was Ethan. And he was also the one who named her Azula," Hagrid replied.

"Was he the one who found out? How did he know it she was a girl?" Weasley asked curiously.

"He probably found out after reading some books" Potter proposed.

"But how? I've read every possible dragon book in the library, and none talk about how to tell dragons, apart from species." Granger said, now as confused and curious as Weasley, and also a little upset, thinking she missed a book with good information.

"Well, it's probably a Ravenclaw thing then" Hagrid waved a hand dismissively, earning a few blank stares from the trio.

"Sigh...Maybe I should reread the library books?" Granger wondered, getting two frightened looks from Potter and Weasley.

"You're crazy, how many books have you read? 5? 8?" Weasley asked.

"Well...Actually about 15" she replied, and the boys' gaze intensified, "Oh stop, it's not even that bad" she mumbled crossing her arms.

"But that's 15 books! And just about dragons! I don't think I've read even 15 books in my entire life, let alone about only one subject" Weasley said, and Potter beside him nodded.

"Then maybe you should just start reading more"

"Hey guys?" Potter called, only to be ignored.

"Why would I do that? I would waste my time playing chess..."

"And eating?" Granger interrupted him.

"And eating too," and Weasley continued, not caring that she was making fun of him.

"Guys?"

"But it doesn't take too long. For example, I can read 7 or 9 books a week"

"Well that's because you're a—"

"GUYS!?"

""What?"" Weasley and Granger turned to Potter after he yelled to get their attention.

"We're getting off the subject," he replied.

Weasley and Granger then looked at Potter, turned to each other and stared at each other for a moment before turning to Potter again.

""What subject?""

"Sigh..."

[POV – Ethan]

"Get out of the way!" Malfoy ordered Justin and Smith, who were walking and talking in the corridor.

The two thought of complaining, but they looked behind Malfoy and saw that he was with his two faithful guard dogs. With no other choice, the two moved out of the way, with Smith staring at the back of Malfoy's head fiercely, only to squeak in alarm as Goyle turned to him.

"Hmph" Malfoy snorted contemptuously as he continued to walk down the corridor like he owned the castle.

'Today couldn't be better. I know a secret from that trio of idiots and that arrogant Ravenclaw know-it-all, no one in the castle has the guts to stand up to me, and I just got a new hair gel from my dad... Although he never sent a hair gel hair for me in the mail... Weird...' Malfoy thought, 'Meh, maybe I'm just thinking too much' he then mentally shrugged.

"Err… Draco?" Crabbe, who was quiet, called.

"What's it?" Malfoy asked, turning to him.

"What happened to your hair?" Goyle was the one who spoke, pointing to Malfoy's head.

"My hair?" Malfoy questioned confused. He then took a mirror and a comb from his bag, which he keeps for some reason.

"!!!" Malfoy then gaped at his reflection in the mirror, seeing his hair, which was now just as greasy as Snape's, only the difference is that it was green.

"Kyaaah! What happened to my hair?! MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!?" he yelled, rubbing his hair with his hand in an attempt to straighten it, and failing miserably.

Malfoy, seeing that your hair wasn't getting back to normal, turned and ran out of the corridor, leaving the two confused bookends behind.

Those in the hallway could only see someone screaming like a girl, with green hair, running past them.

'Good... Very good... I have Malfoy to thank for showing off his owl so 'Beautiful, fast, and the best on the market' to everyone. And I also have to bring him some snacks as a thank you for the delivery' I thought, having watched everything from the corner of the corridor, 'But don't worry Malfoy, this is just the beginning, muahahahaha!'

End.

(End AN: The second trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is out, and oh my god... I'm going crazy! Awesome fucking trailer, I'm speechless.

Marvel really is to be congratulated with their new phase of the 'multiverse'. So many possibilities and new movies and stories for us who like comics and hero movies.

And I know my bank account is going to suffer a little from all these amazing movies at the cinema.

We'll have The Batman, The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Black Adam, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Yeah... this is a good time to be alive.)
