Ever since the three of Harry had promised Bernard not to investigate again, life had become dull again. Except for the Mirror of Eris during the Christmas holidays, life at Hogwarts has suddenly become less passionate, and of course, the biggest reason for this is that the final exams are coming.

In both the wizarding world and the Muggle world, final exams were a top priority, so at Hermione's urging, Harry and Ron had to come to the library to study.

"Hermione, what's this dictionary-like book you've been reading? Aren't you here to revise? Bored, Ron asked Hermione after looking up at the sky for an unknown number of times.

Although she knew that Ron was boring, Hermione still replied seriously: "Of course I'm here to review, and I haven't been reading what you call a dictionary-like book, in fact, I've changed a lot of books, but they all look more alike, well, just as thick." ”

Hearing Hermione's words, Harry also looked up curiously at the book in Hermione's hand, and seeing Harry's curious gaze, Hermione handed the book in his hand over.

"Elementary Alchemy!? Hermione, did we learn this book in our alchemy class? Didn't you say you were revising? Harry asked, surprised.

"It must have something to do with Professor Rochefort, Hermione often goes to him, the secret of genius!" Ron said this before Hermione.

Glancing at Ron, Hermione said a little awkwardly: "It's really related to Professor Rochefort, in fact, the professor is very good, last time we went to ask Professor Nick Lemay's question, the professor didn't answer it very well!" ”

After saying that, Hermione also glanced at Harry and Ron, as if she wanted to get the approval of her friends.

Harry thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, Professor Rochefort is gentle and very good. ”

After listening to Harry's words, Hermione was very happy, and turned her head to look at Ron, under Hermione's gaze, Ron had no choice but to say, "Well, except for the fact that I can't forgive him for endorsing and copying books, Professor Rochefort is still a very nice person." ”

Hearing her friend's words, Hermione seemed to have found a pillar all of a sudden, and said urgently: "Yes, Professor Rochefort is very good, and it should be right to listen to him." ”

Seeing this, except for Ron, who was naturally unresponsive, everyone should see that the problem was coming, and Harry was no exception, "What's wrong?" Hermione, is something happening? ”

Listening to Harry's inquiry, Hermione looked around uneasily, and then whispered: "Actually, since the first alchemy class, Professor Rochefort has given me some other books, well, from the beginning of the semester to now, I have memorized "Alchemy Linguistics", "A Preliminary Study of the Mystery of Alchemy", "The First Solution of the Demon Text", "The Demon Script You Don't Know", "The Mystery of Symbols", "Analysis of the Alchemy Principle", "Conjecture about Alchemy", "Elementary Alchemy", ......"

"Merlin's beard, Hermione, do you mean you have memorized so many books in addition to your textbooks?" Ron couldn't contain his excitement and screamed, which caused Mrs. Pince, the librarian, to glance over to this side.

"Be quiet, Ron, well, I did memorize some other books, but these books are really interesting, I love them, and I don't want to talk about these, but ...... Professor Rochefort told me that if I could memorize the book he gave me at the appointed time, he would prepare me for a separate exam at the end of the semester, which the professor said was important. ”

Harry and Ron were visibly stunned by the news, but their surprise didn't last long, as they saw a tall figure, Hagrid.

"Hagrid! What are you doing in the library? Ron asked, surprised.

Hagrid walked over slowly, hiding something behind him, and said in a very unnatural tone, "It's nothing, I'm just here to take a look." ”

Suddenly he became serious, "What are you doing here, are you still looking for Nick Lemay?" ”

"We already know who Nick Lemay is, and Professor Rochefort told us that Mao Mao is guarding the Philosopher's Stone, and that we are here to study for the final exams." Harry replied.

"Oh, Bernard, he shouldn't have told you this is top secret." Hagrid looked a little angry.

"It doesn't matter, what matters, what are you hiding? Hagrid! Hermione shifted the subject and pulled the question back again.

"Nothing," Hagrid said, and walked away.

"Hagrid, what is he hiding behind his back?" Hermione said thoughtfully.

"Do you think it has something to do with the Philosopher's Stone? But haven't we promised Professor Rochefort not to investigate again?! ”

"I'll go see what book he's looking for." Ron said that Ron, who was already impatient, ran away excitedly, and a few minutes later, he returned with a large stack of books, and he slammed them onto the table.

"Dragons." Ron whispered, "Hagrid is looking for information about dragons, look at these: Species of Great Britain and Ireland, From Egg to Adult, A Guide to Keeping Dragons, and Raising Dragons for Profit and Recreation." ”

"Hagrid always wanted a dragon, and he told me the first time I met him." Harry said.

"But it's against the law." Ron said, "At the Wizards' Congress in 1709, a bill prohibiting dragon breeding was officially passed, and that is known to everyone. If we have dragons in our back garden, it's hard not to get Muggles to notice us - and it's dangerous that you can tame them. You should really look at the burns on Charlie's body, which were left to him by the Romanian wild dragon. ”

"But are there no wild dragons in England?" Harry said.

"Absolutely." Ron affirmed. "There are common Welsh green dragons and Hebridin black dragons. I can tell you that one of the Ministry's jobs is to conceal the existence of these dragons. The wizards of the Ministry of Magic had to constantly chant spells to Muggles who saw the dragon, so that they forgot about it. ”

"What the hell is Hagrid up to?" Hermione asked, puzzled.

……

"Listen, I'm busy today, I don't have time to mess around with you." Hagrid put on his apron and leaned over the door of the hut, and with that, Hagrid tried to close the door.

"We know your secret, it's a dragon." Harry said in unison.

"Oh, well, come in." Hagrid pushed the door open again.

"How do you know I have a dragon egg?" Hagrid asked, looking at the three little ones who were seated.

"We didn't know you had a dragon egg, we just looked at the books you read in the library today and found out that they were all related to dragons." Ron said.

"You're going to look through my borrowing history!?" Hagrid looked so angry that his voice was raised.

"I'm sorry Hagrid, we just cared about you, and we thought you went to the library because of the Philosopher's Stone." Harry said sincerely.

"Didn't you say you weren't going to investigate the Philosopher's Stone anymore? How to ......"

"Well, your actions are so suspicious that we can't help but ......," Harry said, a little embarrassed.

"Okay, but not next time, you came just in time, and it's about to hatch." Hagrid was very happy to expose the previous unpleasantness, and was excited to share the news with Harry.

As he spoke, Hagrid stepped out of the way, and Harry could see that there was a cauldron in the fire, and in the pot was an egg.

……

"Cool, this is a Norwegian backbone, my brother Charlie is studying dragons in Romania, and he told me about this dragon before." Ron exclaimed.

"Oh, it's beautiful." Hagrid's eyes were a little confused, "Come on, come on, Mommy, Nobber, oh, it knows who Mommy is." Hagrid's tone was full of maternal love, and suddenly, Hagrid, who was having fun with the little dragon, looked at the window and said, "Who is that?" ”

"Malfoy." Harry saw Malfoy's back running into the distance.

……

"In any case, I repeat, in any case, students should not run around after nightfall, and I will punish you for your actions, fifty points, everyone. In order to ensure that you do not commit it again, I will punish you four for labor service. Professor McGonagall said sternly.

"I'm sorry Professor, I may have misheard, but you mean four people." Malfoy looked incredible.

"You're right, Mr. Malfoy, you have good intentions, but you slipped out of bed after dark anyway." Professor McGonagall calmly affirmed.

Harry and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, but soon they couldn't laugh anymore.
