Chapter Twenty-Seven: I Want to Eat Dragon Eggs
Looking at the black dragon egg, Neville only wanted to say one thing, that is, you city people really know how to play, and hatch dragon eggs as if you were going to eat charcoal-roasted ostrich eggs.
Thinking of the food about eggs, Neville licked his lips subconsciously, and he didn't know if the dragon eggs were good after cooking, whether it was better to make an omelette or boiled to taste better?
Thinking so, the ferret sandwich also became bland and tasteless, and after chewing wax and eating the last piece of his hand, Neville leaned back on the sofa with one hand on his chin, staring at the dragon egg without blinking.
If only you could get a dragon egg!
Neville had one more thing to say to Hagrid, but he was destined not to have that opportunity today, as Hermione quickly urged them to hurry back to the library and continue reading.
"Hagrid, don't forget that you live in a wooden house. ”
Before leaving, Hermione intended to warn Hagrid that the house he lived in was not suitable for keeping dragons, especially the Norwegian Ridgeback. Because this dragon grows very quickly and awakens its fire-breathing ability relatively early, imagine what would happen to a fire-breathing dragon living in a wooden house.
Perhaps Hermione wasn't straightforward enough, and Hagrid didn't seem to listen at all, and he hummed happily as he stirred the fire.
Every time he looked at Brother Hagrid's heartless and happy appearance, Harry couldn't help but shake his head, I really don't know how a person with such a simple mind and developed limbs like Hagrid survived the war more than ten years ago, so many wizards who were smarter and more powerful than Hagrid died very miserably.
Along the way, Harry and the others discuss the dragon egg and Hagrid, and it seems that in addition to the Philosopher's Stone, they have a new thing to worry about: what will happen to Hagrid if someone finds out that he is illegally raising dragons in his hut?
"I really want to know what a peaceful and peaceful day looks like. ”
Ron sighed as Hermione thought he had finally said something that made a little sense.
Neville was eager to ask Hermione a question, but he knew that if he did, he wouldn't get the answer. Therefore, the question of "how to legally make a dragon egg into food" still has to be done by yourself. There must be answers in the library.
However, night after night, Neville struggled to complete the large amount of homework assigned by the teacher, and had no time to care. He is obviously not good at this, and spends a lot more time than others, and in order to achieve approximate results, he can only spend time piling up.
Although there were still two months to go before his final exams, Neville prayed to God every day that he would pass the final exams.
It's another sunny day, and it's been a good day lately, and at breakfast, Harry received a note from Hagrid, and today is the day the dragon egg hatches.
However, there is also a herbal medicine class in the morning.
"Hermione, how many times in our lives can we see the little dragon come out of the shell?"
"We're going to have a class, or we're going to get in trouble, and if anyone finds out what Hagrid did, he'll be even worse off than we are!"
Ron was fighting with Hermione for the chance to see the dragon eggs hatch, and Neville was silently eating breakfast when he suddenly looked up at Malfoy, who had quietly walked not far away from them, and didn't say anything, just smiled innocently.
The smile felt different to different people, and it was clear that for Malfoy, it was full of malice and malice, and he felt as if the penultimate rib on his left side was still aching.
Now that they've been discovered, there's no need to sneak around like a thief, Malfoy snorted and swaggered past Harry and the others, his signature disdain and arrogance on his face.
"Pay attention next time. ”
It wasn't until Malfoy left that Harry whispered to Ron and Hermione, "Don't discuss this kind of thing in this situation, it's going to get Hagrid in trouble." ”
Ron and Hermione nodded, stopped talking, and ate their breakfast honestly.
Neville's favorite class was the Herbal Medicine class, as it was the easiest, at least compared to the others. However, in the eyes of others, the herbal class was not at all easier than the Potions class, which can only be said that Neville still has a little talent for the herbal class.
The herb class was in the greenhouse outside the castle, much closer to Hagrid's hut, so after a whole class of debates, Hermione finally agreed that they could run to Hagrid's hut together during the morning break.
"Go, I won't go. ”
Neville said without looking up, holding the quill and his expression extremely attentive and serious, intently recording the content of the lesson.
Ron thought Neville didn't know what they were going to do, so he repeated it, but Neville's answer didn't change either.
"Okay. ”
Ron shrugged his shoulders, he felt that Neville would regret missing the rare opportunity to see how dragon eggs hatched.
Since Neville didn't go, he didn't understand how Harry and the others had been looking bad all day.
Over dinner, Neville asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Harry first glanced at Slytherin, then he frowned and said with a look of disgust, "Malfoy was there when the eggs hatched today, and he saw Noble. ”
"Noble?"
Hagrid gave it a name. Explaining the name, Harry said worriedly, "It's too bad, Malfoy will definitely tell you." ”
It's not easy to deal with, Neville can't think of a good way anyway, he can drag Malfoy into a corner and beat him up like he did last time, but Malfoy will definitely take revenge on Hagrid even more.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that the only solution is to let Hagrid send the dragon away.
It wasn't an easy thing to do, but Harry did it, and they had a windfall.
Malfoy was caught by Professor McGonagall and deducted twenty points!
"Malfoy is going to be locked up! I want to sing!"
Hermione happily danced a quickstep, and although Harry was happy, he reminded him, "Don't sing, Professor McGonagall might still be around!"
Hermione, of course, didn't really sing, and after counting the three people here, she said with some regret, "It's a pity, Neville isn't here, he's too big, and the invisibility cloak isn't enough for the four of us together." ”
"Neville seems to have left with Hagrid, he should go back to his dorm room to sleep, right?"
Ron stroked his bandaged turnip-like fingers, which had been bitten by Noble, and said nonchalantly, "Who knows, I hope he doesn't get caught by Professor McGonagall." ”
Neville was running fast, and Professor McGonagall couldn't catch up with him. ”
"But Professor McGonagall knows magic......"
The three of Harry were chatting while waiting for Ron's eldest brother, Charlie, and his friends to come over and receive Noble.
At this point, Neville was communicating with Hagrid about the matter, and soon transitioned to how to get a dragon egg.
"You say dragon eggs......" Hagrid scratched his beard and looked up at the castle's spire, as if to see off his dragon, "Noble is the ...... I won by playing cards with a man in Hogsmeade's pub"
Hagrid's experience didn't seem to suit Neville, so he returned to the castle disappointed. However, Hagrid told him unmistakably that he had already told Dumbledore about Snape and Quirrell, which was barely a slight gain.
However, after entering the castle, Neville sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere here.
With a grunt, Neville trotted down the stairs to the top of the tower, where Neville spotted the Cloak of Invisibility, but not Harry.
Back in the cloak of invisibility, Harry and Ron's beds were still empty, much to Neville's growing unease and worry.
I don't know how long it took, but Harry and Ron returned, and the first thing they said to Neville was:
"It's over, we're done. ”
