Chapter 20: Questions

"Gellert Grindelwald is one of the most powerful Dark Lords!?" Shayne listened in shock to Ravenclaw's description. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAren't people with similar personalities generally together? How could a symbol of justice like Dumbledore have an ambiguous relationship with the most powerful dark magician.

"There must be a big secret in this, but what matters now is, what does it have to do with me? Is Dumbledore afraid that I will become the second Gellert Grindelwald? Or am I now very similar to Gellert Grindelwald? I heard that this powerful Dark Lord once raised an army to sweep across Europe, could it be that Dumbledore found out about my warrior temperament and was concerned? No, it can't be like that. ”

Countless thoughts instantly turned in Xie An's head, and he was instantly disillusioned, and he couldn't think of a reason for it.

He needed a clear-headed friend to help him sort things out.

Shea's first thought was, of course, Hermione. But Xie An hasn't seen this diligent girl recently, but fortunately, although the castle is big, you can still find someone with your heart.

At this time, the final exam is very close, and the teachers are assigning a lot of homework one by one, lest the students fail to pass the final exam.

The whole castle was full of students who looked down at books, and only a few beautiful looking seniors stood in the corridor bored and chatted. Xie An looked around a little confused - where is the Gryffindor break room?

For an entire week, Hermione spent time by the fire in the common room. Hermione carefully flipped through the study notes of her predecessors from the library - it was very interesting, and almost every notebook could find a few important notes or reminders, which were summarized by the seniors themselves.

"Hermione, there's someone looking for Ravenclaw. Jordan walked into the common room and greeted loudly. "A blonde classmate from Ravenclaw is looking for you. He smiled at Hermione.

"Who is it, Hermione?" suddenly asked Ron, who was sitting next to him, who was studying his Standard Spell Level 1 textbook, trying to remember the main points of the guiding spell, but unfortunately it didn't seem to have any effect.

Hermione didn't answer, put down her book and walked out of the common room in confusion. Luna was looking around. As soon as Hermione walked out, Luna said in a characteristic shrill voice, "Hermione, do you have time now, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Oh, Luna, long time no see, what's the matter with you, I've been so busy this time... Hermione happily greeted Luna, and the two of them went into the corner, clearing the door to Greenington's common room.

"Andrew wants to do me a favor..."Luna briefly described the plan to Hermione, and the more Hermione listened, the more surprised she became, and after listening to Luna's description, Hermione's face was already full of surprise.

The two of them talked for a long time, and by the time they got back to the common room, it was already a bit late, and most of the students had already gone to eat, except for Harry Ron.

Harry said to Hermione with concern, "It's dinner time, do you want to go eat together?"

Hermione was still thinking about what Luna had told her, and casually said, "I have one more important thing to think about, you guys go ahead." ”

"Is anything more important than a dragon?" Hermione, do you have time tonight, we can go to Hagrid's place and see the dragon together!" Ron said pretending to be calm. Harry looked at Ron in astonishment.

"What dragon, what are you talking about?" the sensitive words made Hermione pull back from her thoughts, staring sharply at Ron and Harry.

Ron was anxious to show himself, and deliberately told Hermione about Hagrid secretly raising dragons, and Hermione said nervously: "You guys are crazy, it's illegal to raise dragons privately, don't you know?"

"Not necessarily, my brother studied dragons abroad, and he told me a lot about dragons. Ron said smugly.

"I think you should report this to Professor McGonagall right away, or you'll be implicated as well. Hermione said solemnly.

"Hermione, you're talking too badly, Hagrid is big, he knows what he's doing, and we only go to see Hagrid's dragons once in a while. Harry said.

"You're crazy. Hermione hurried out of the common room.

"Hermione!" Before leaving the common room, Hermione heard someone calling out to her.

"I went looking for you in the auditorium, I heard you were still in the common room, so you are here, I'm looking for you, Hermione. Xie An was worried about how to enter the Gryffindor common room, it was meal time, few students came in and out, and Hermione came out by herself.

"Oh, Andy, I happen to have something to ask you for, can I ask you for a favor?" her face was full of pleading, and her eyes showed unconcealed worry, "I know that you have a very good relationship with the professors, and you are also smarter than me, so I can only ask you to find a way!"

Xie An looked at Hermione suspiciously, not knowing what Hermione had to say. It seems that Hermione is not too calm now, and may need to solve her problem first.

Xie An nodded at Hermione: "What's the matter, you talk about it first."

"Thank you, Andy," Hermione said, adjusting her mood, "Harry and Ron are so troublesome, they helped Hagrid raise a dragon......"

"A dragon? Hermione, is it really? There is a dragon in the academy, I have always wanted to see the lizard dragon in the West, where is it?" Xie An was stunned for a moment, and said happily.

"You know what you're talking about? It's illegal to keep a dragon in the UK. Moreover, dragons are dangerous creatures that can endanger the lives of wizards. Dragons breathe fire!" Hermione said eagerly.

"Have you seen this dragon?" Xie An asked after listening to Hermione's words, thinking about it.

"No, but Ron invited me to visit Hagrid tonight. I heard that it was still a young dragon, fresh from the egg, still very small, Hagrid won it from someone else!. Hermione said worriedly.

"Or is it a baby dragon?" Xie An thought about it for a moment and said, "What are the consequences of violating the law of raising dragons without permission?" Hermione, do you know?" Xie An frowned, Lord Earl has never raised a dragon, it seems that raising a dragon is a very troublesome thing.

"I happened to be working on this, and Professor McGonagall mentioned it in her homework the other day! Back in 1709, the Wizards' Conference had passed a bill banning dragon breeding. With the exception of a few farms, no wizard is allowed to own a dragon - whether as a pet or otherwise. What's more," Hermione paused, then continued, "You know, Andy, even at Hogwarts you can't disobey the laws set by the Ministry of Magic, and the wizards of Wizengamot will convict Hagrid. That's for sure, numerous laws prohibit private dragon breeding. If Harry were also found to be involved in this, the consequences would be serious, and he would even be expelled!"

"Then what do you want to do? Secretly kill and eat Xiaolong?" Xie An regained his indifferent expression and said lightly. It's just a little dragon of unknown origin, Xie An has many ways to deal with it, and the current Gellert matter is the most important.

Sheaan needed Hermione to be awake, not preoccupied.

"I don't know, Harry, they didn't realize the seriousness of this matter at all, and they kept talking about it back and forth, and I think it will soon be known to others. Oh, by the way, maybe we can send it away, Ron's said his brother seems to be raising dragons in a foreign country, maybe he is willing to accept raising a dragon. Hermione's little head quickly came up with a solution, which, despite the loopholes, was at least a good one.

"Are you sure Ron's brother would agree to such a risky plan to take over a dragon of unknown origin? Besides, no one can casually take a single stone from Hogwarts without Dumbledore's permission, let alone a dragon. Xie An questioned.

"It's just a little dragon, maybe we can sneak it away, if Hagrid agrees. Harry, they can help too, we can put the dragon in the chest, maybe use a broomstick to get it away. Hermione didn't seem to hear Shea's words, and said to herself.

"Oh, Hermione, what the hell are you thinking, you think you can fly around the castle on a broomstick without alerting the Hogwarts Watchers, you think too simply. Unless Dumbledore acquiesces in this, it won't work, and I think you might as well tell Professor McGonagall about it as soon as possible, or do nothing. Xie An sneered.

"Nothing?" Hermione looked at Shea in surprise, "What do you mean to let Harry break the law and do nothing?"

"No, Hermione, you don't understand what I mean, if you think about it, there's something that doesn't make sense. For example, where did the dragon egg come from?Although there are some strange things in the school lately, such as trolls, Dumbledore's control over the school has not weakened at all, assuming that the dragon egg is just an ordinary object, then maybe Dumbledore may be negligent for a while and cannot notice. But a rare and precious dragon appeared at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore would not have noticed it?" said Shayne mockingly. I'm afraid this is also a conspiracy, Xie An has realized something.

"What are you talking about, Andy, what do you mean ... The Headmaster actually knew about it, and acquiesced to Hagrid's actions," Hermione swallowed, moistening her throat.

He may also have known that Harry was helping Hagrid take care of the young dragon. Xie An said expressionlessly.

"Is that really the case?" Hermione wasn't stupid, she just lacked experience. The girl thought about it and realized that what Xie An said might be right, Dumbledore actually knew that Hagrid had obtained a dragon egg and was training dragons in the school!

"Alright then, Andy, maybe you're right. Hermione was a little uncomfortable to find out the truth, and she nodded lightly, "I see." ”

"Compared to this, Hermione, I have a more important matter that I need your help with!" Xie An saw that Hermione had calmed down, and hurriedly asked Hermione to help him think about what was going on in this matter.

"What's the matter?" asked Hermione, curious.

"Do you know Gellert Grindelwald?" said a hint of anticipation on Xie An's handsome face.

"The Dark Lord of Europe?" Hermione said immediately.

"You really know," the anticipation on Xie An's handsome face turned into joy, he took Hermione's hand, pulled her into a quiet corridor, handed the photo to Hermione, and said solemnly, "Look at this photo, have you seen it before?"

Hermione blushed a little, and Xie An thought that Hermione's excitement had not yet subsided. Hermione took the picture and looked at it seriously.

"This man seems to be a young Professor Dumbledore. Hermione said, pointing to the handsome young man on the left.

"This girl looks a bit like Professor Dumbledore, but I don't remember seeing her anywhere before, the blonde boy on the right..."Hermione hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Gellert Grindelwald?"

"Yes, that's it, Hermione, what do you know about Gellert Grindelwald? It's important, I want to know everything about Gellert Grindelwald!" Xie Ann asked excitedly.

"I don't know much about Gellert Grindelwald, except that he was defeated by Dumbledore!" Hermione recalled.
