Chapter 479: Painstaking
For the next few days, Harry's mood had been agitated, and he had wanted to talk to Albert about Hagrid's dragon raising, but he hadn't been able to meet Albert for several days.
Malfoy always threw a malicious smile at them, much to the uneasiness of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, as if something bad was about to happen.
"I really can't wait any longer, in just three days, that dragon has doubled, and if it continues like this, it won't take long...... Don't forget, dragons have wings and can fly. ”
Harry struggled to keep his voice down, but he couldn't hide his restlessness.
"We'll have to talk to Albert and we'll have to get Hagrid to agree to send that dragon away anyway, I suspect Malfoy is planning some big conspiracy. ”
A few people didn't know that even if they were secretly talking about it in a place where no one was, they were still overheard by Quirrell who was passing by.
Quirrell naturally knew that Hagrid had a dragon, after all, the dragon egg was given to Hagrid, but after hearing Potter say this, Malfoy seemed to have seen the hatched dragon as well?
"The Grand Conspiracy?"
A sneer tugged at the corners of Quirrell's mouth, and he turned away secretly.
It took six hundred Galleons for Quirrell to buy all the information and ways to crack the level from the mysterious Everything, but the biggest problem that plagued Quirrell at the moment was the Philosopher's Stone Mechanism set up by Dumbledore.
According to the description in the letter, Dumbledore hid the Philosopher's Stone in the Mirror of Eris, and in order to remove the Philosopher's Stone from the Mirror, certain conditions must be met.
The solution to the guy who sold Quirrell everything: steal the mirror with him.
That's right, steal the magic mirror with you.
As long as you steal the magic mirror together, won't you steal the magic stone?
That liar!
Quirrell was tempted to get Garon back from under the tree, but he gave up, considering that he might send a letter to Dumbledore to inform.
Actually, this line of thinking can't be said to be wrong, but it makes Quirrell quite painful.
However, how to break Dumbledore is still a question.
So, Quirrell spent another two hundred Galleons to buy a solution to Dumbledore's distraction from everything he could sell.
With this series of maneuvers, the few Garons left in Quirrell's pocket were about to be emptied.
Quirrell didn't care too much, though, and simply paid for it.
Anyway, as long as you can steal the Philosopher's Stone, you won't have to worry about Garon at all in the future.
Back in the office, Quirrell read the letter a few more times, and suddenly felt a creep.
That mysterious guy knows about Malfoy's discovery of the dragon!
If you follow the other party's plan, no one can guarantee that the other party will not cheat you at the last minute.
Who is he?
According to the other party's familiarity with Hogwarts, he should be a student or teacher in the school.
Albert Anderson?
Quirrell remembered the name that gave him a pain in his stomach.
Could it be him?
No!
Albert was only a third-grader, so how could he hide himself?
Quirrell was quick to deny the possibility!
On the same day, Malfoy was secretly controlled by Quirrell's Imperius Charm, and Quirrell realized from Malfoy's memories that what he had heard from Harry was correct, and that Malfoy had indeed seen the birth of the dragon with his own eyes.
In the process of writing a letter to his family, Malfoy inadvertently mentions to his family that Hagrid is illegally raising dragons.
Immediately afterward, Quirrell sent a whistleblower letter to Minister of Magic, Fudge, as an anonymous person.
The content of the letter is that a professor at Hogwarts reported to the Ministry of Magic that the Hogwarts hunting ground guards were raising dragons in violation of regulations.
Then, he asked Malfoy to anonymously report it to the Daily Prophet.
The last dragon egg incident was a big uproar.
Once the Ministry of Magic found out that Hagrid was raising dragons, it became rich.
With all of this done, Quirrell asked Malfoy to tell Snape about it, and then edited Malfoy's memories to let him know that he had done these things.
As for who reported anonymously to the Ministry of Magic?
Snape, of course!
Among the professors at Hogwarts, who knows that Hagrid had a dragon?
Myself?
No, no, he doesn't know anything.
Although there are still many flaws in this matter, it does not affect Quirrell's plan at all.
It's best to poke out about Dumbledore's three-headed dog in the castle, so as to disgust the other party.
As for who would be suspected in the end, Quirrell didn't care.
As soon as he gets his hands on the Philosopher's Stone, he will immediately fly away.
At this moment, Snape, who had just listened to the Malfoy report, was a little stunned.
Hagrid didn't know where to get a dragon egg and hatched it?
Snape could see that Malfoy wasn't lying.
If it's true, it needs to be dealt with, and Dumbledore should be told about it.
Snape hadn't forgotten that he had been bitten on the leg by Hagrid's big dog.
Although it was a bit of a suspicion of a personal vendetta, Snape didn't think he had done anything wrong.
After all, raising dragons is a crime.
Raising dragons at Hogwarts is a mistake, what if a student is injured by a dragon?
The next day, the Daily Prophet newspaper was flooded with Hogwarts hunting grounds guarding Hagrid's dragons.
Harry's hand holding the newspaper was shaking, especially when he saw Malfoy smirk at him, and he knew what was going on.
That bastard!
At this moment, Harry wanted to smash Malfoy's nose with a punch.
"Harry, what are we going to do?" Hermione asked, closing the Daily Prophet with a worried look on her face.
"We have to talk to Hagrid and bring my cloak of invisibility. ”
The three of them hurried to Hagrid's hut and found Dumbledore talking to a stocky man outside the hut.
"That's the Minister of Magic. Ron pointed to the stocky man next to Dumbledore and said incredulously, "How did he end up here?"
Harry touched Ron's ribs with his elbow to shut him up, and the three of them didn't dare to get closer, just watched from a distance, and finally Fudge and his wizards were sent away by Dumbledore.
"Hagrid, are you alright?"
After Headmaster Dumbledore left, Harry entered Hagrid's hut, looked at Hagrid's face full of loss, and asked worriedly, "What about the dragon?"
"What dragon?"
Hagrid asked, puzzled.
Harry opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Solved?" Hermione asked quietly.
"The Malfoy kid deliberately slandered me, and I heard that a professor sent a letter to the Ministry of Magic saying that I had a dragon in secret. "How could I not have known that raising dragons is illegal." ”
Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked at each other, wondering what Hagrid was talking about.
