Never Gonna Give You Up! (Yeah, you got caught in the Rick Astley song) Here's the new chapter!
________________________________________________________________________________________
Today I was taking care of Azula alone, as the trio were doing things I didn't care enough to know, and Hagrid was hunting more mice and other small animals for Azula's food.
Knowing that this was a great opportunity, and that Azula was prepared, I decided to use this moment to open a connection with her using Beast Talk.
I then brought my hand closer to the little dragon with the intention of establishing the connection, only to have to pull it away quickly when Azula tried to bite it.
"If you try to bite me again, I'll show you how to make a dish of Norwegian dragon fried with apples in lemon and vinegar sauce" I said with a gentle smile on my face, trying to... persuade, the little dragon, who now started to look at me suspiciously.
Looking to see if the little creature got my point, I brought my hand back to her head, and Azula seemed to understand that biting me was not a smart thing to do, as this time she let me put my hand on her without problems.
Already touching Azula, I used my Beast Talk to converse with her, conveying feelings of safety and calm to the baby dragon. When Azula felt the connection, she was incredibly surprised, or at least as surprised as a baby dragon could be.
The connection with a dragon wasn't as amazing as I'd hoped, and it wasn't anywhere near the level of a connection like the elves, and I don't know if that's because Azula was still a baby, or if it's because dragons aren't creatures as rational as elves.
I will probably need to test with more creatures, both rational and thinking like elves, and not so rational like common and wild creatures.
But this connection with Azula wasn't useless, as I managed to keep her calm and docile, which is a great find, as if it's possible to do that with a baby dragon, it should probably be possible with other wild and aggressive creatures too.
'Well, that means I can cross one of my projects off my list, and with that there will only be a few projects left for me to complete, at least for this year' I thought, stroking the little dragon, who got sleepy at some point and was sleeping with his head on my lap.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Azula was getting more and more adventurous, and only my Beast Talk kept her calm, but since I couldn't use Beast Talk very often, especially around Hagrid and the trio, and since I couldn't spend much time with Azula either, Hagrid ended up having to suffer with the little dragon, barely having time to rest, and the trio often found themselves in the same predicament.
The trio, having already talked about the idea of handing Azula over to Charlie, and having already sent him a letter, were now just waiting for an answer.
I knew they would be able to smuggle Azula with no problem, that is, if we don't count on Malfoy. But I saw no reason to interfere in their confusion, mainly because the loss of points they would have would put Ravenclaw far ahead in the house cups, making it difficult for the Headmaster to donate points to Gryffindor without seeming more biased.
And their being discovered by Professor McGonagall would cause them to go into detention with Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest, which in my humble but correct opinion is a very irresponsible detention choice on the part of Professor McGonagall and the Headmaster. However, as there was no attack on the unicorns, Hagrid won't need to look for any creature that is killing them, so no detention in the forbidden forest.
And with that, I won't have to worry about the trio, and I'll be able to enjoy the chaos that the big loss of points will cause.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Malfoy, who saw the egg hatch, kept this secret for a week, which is impressive and made me understand that he has a bit of Slytherin in him, but since he likes to annoy the trio, he's always looking at them smugly. He also looked at me with the same expression, but for some very strange reason, he was always caught in some prank at these moments.
...Very strange.
But this pressure Malfoy put on the trio only added to their stress and their rush to get rid of Azula. So when Charlie's letter, saying how they could smuggle out Azula, arrived, the trio members were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, something Malfoy noticed.
Knowing that it was close to the day of the smuggling, and that I would finally be able to look at the Cloak of Invisibility, one of the three Deathly Hallows, I also started to prepare myself.

-April 9 - Ethan's Birthday-
Today was supposed to be another ordinary school day, or as ordinary as a magic school could be, but it turned out to be different when, this morning at breakfast, I ended up getting a large package delivered by Hermes.
In that big package there was a note and some other packages, and on the note that came it was written in big letters with lots of glitter and glitter a "Happy Birthday! With love, from your most awesome and beautiful family!", and at that moment I realized that I had forgotten my birthday.
"Damn! I got so focused on my plans I forgot what day it is," I muttered.
"What packages are these Ethan?" Anthony, who was beside me, asked me, looking over my shoulder.
"These are presents my family sent me," I replied.
"Presents? For what?" Anthony asked, and Terry also looked curious.
"Oh, it's just that today is my birthday," I replied, picking up a handmade drawing that Cele made for me, which brought a smile to my face.
"..."
"..."
"..."
""Is it your birthday?!"" Terry and Anthony exclaimed in surprise, also catching the attention of a few other Ravenclaws.
"Huh? Yeah" I nodded.
"And why didn't you warn us?!" Anthony asked.
"Err, I forgot" I shrugged.
"Did you forget to let us know?" Terry asked.
"No, I forgot that today is my birthday"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"How could you forget your damn birthday?!" Anthony asked me, shaking my shoulders.
"I don't know, blame the memory lapses!"
"Memory lapses my ass!"
"Why didn't you ever tell us when your birthday is?" Terry then asked.
"Because I didn't think it was important, and besides, you guys never mentioned yours either," I replied, having freed myself from Anthony's clutches, but still looking at him warily, as he was now holding a fork tightly as he looked at me frowning.
"Ah well... That's true" Terry said after some thought, "I guess it just never crossed my mind to talk about"
"See, I'm not the only one" I said to Anthony.
"That's totally different! YOU forgot YOUR birthday! Who forgets their own birthday?!" he asked rhetorically.
"Why instead of you bitching about me forgetting my birthday, why don't you go find me some nice presents?" I said, only to receive two blank stares.
"...or not. You who know, hehe" I laughed nervously seeing that their gaze didn't change, in fact, Anthony even started to get a half-crazed look.
"Err Anthony... Why are you reaching for your knife? And why are you approaching me?... Anthony? Hey, calm down buddy... We don't need to get aggressive... Terry, help me out here."
"Don't get me involved in this matter"
'You're a great friend' I thought, staring at Terry, who pretended not to be paying attention.
"Ow! Anthony, get away from me with that fork, you damn badger in raven clothes!"
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
After breakfast, where we all learned that Anthony is dangerous with cutlery in hand, my friends decided to have a small party for me in one of the many abandoned classrooms, as using the Ravenclaw common room would not be possible since I had friends from other houses who couldn't enter the Ravens' Nest, name the twins gave our common room.
The party had all my friends from all the houses, and even Professor Flitwick stopped by the room for a moment to congratulate me.
The party was small and had some food that the elves made and that the twins managed to smuggle out of Hogsmead.
I also got some impromptu presents as everyone knew about my birthday at the last minute. The only ones who had a present prepared for me besides my parents were the twins, who had been preparing for this day since their birthday.
But in short, this was one of the best birthdays I've had in my second life, mainly because it was the first I had with friends.
End.

(End AN: Happy Valentine's Day, just a little late, Lol.
And for those who remain single, don't worry, you will find your special someone... I hope.
Did you know that in my country Valentine's Day is celebrated on June 12th? I don't know why, but I think it has something to do with it being a good time to trade.
Since I don't have a girlfriend to give or receive gifts, I'll have to make do with a bucket of popcorn and a sci-fi movie.
Hope you enjoyed these chapters!)
