Chapter 476 I have known it for a long time
The hatching of dragon eggs is a slow process, according to the description in the book, the dragon eggs need to be roasted in the fire, this process is imitating the breath of the fire dragon, the mother dragon usually uses the breath to warm the dragon eggs, it is really amazing, the dragon eggs will not be roasted by the high temperature of the flame, and become roasted dragon eggs.
If Hagrid accidentally baked the eggs, Albert wouldn't mind tasting them.
When this thought first came to Albert's mind, he found that a new task had been triggered in his task panel: the Gourmet.
After looking at the task, then at the dragon egg, and then at the reward given by the task, after a little consideration for three seconds, Albert simply gave up.
If he secretly eats the dragon egg, Hagrid will probably be so sad that he will faint!
Nor is he an unscrupulous demon for the sake of a mission.
If you eat dragon eggs or something, let's wait until you find another opportunity later!
In fact, if he didn't know that the egg would eventually hatch a dragon, Albert would have thought that the dragon egg was cooked.
There was no way, the surface of the dragon eggs had been baked black by Hagrid.
Hagrid had to bake the eggs in the fire every day for a while, and they couldn't be left in the fire for too long.
He himself was not troublesome at all, but happily hummed a little song, enjoyed the process of incubating a dragon, and had begun to consider himself a mother, so that Albert couldn't accept this style of painting when he saw it, and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face.
During the Easter holidays, Albert would run to Hagrid's side whenever he had time to help Hagrid prepare for the dragon raising, so that Hagrid would not mess himself up after the dragon eggs hatched.
According to the book, Hagrid bought a lot of brandy and raised a lot of chickens in the chicken shed, and the brandy wine with chicken blood was very suitable for the newborn young dragons.
As for whether Harry and his two friends had found out that Hagrid was hatching dragon eggs, Albert really didn't know.
Every time he went to Hagrid's, he didn't see Harry, Ron, or Hermione.
With the Easter holidays coming to an end, Albert was ready to find an opportunity to ask Hagrid if anyone else knew about it.
As a result, before he could ask, Hermione took the initiative to come to him.
"You said Hagrid wanted to raise dragons?" Albert looked at the girl in front of him in confusion, and could probably guess what the situation was, and comforted softly, "He said he wanted to raise dragons a long time ago. ”
"No, I didn't mean that. Hagrid...... I don't know where I got a dragon egg. Hermione took a deep breath, trying to organize the right words in her brain.
"I mean, what would Hagrid do if someone found out he was illegally raising dragons in his cabin?"
"I'm guessing I'm going to pay a lot of money, and then I'll go to the wizard's prison of Azkaban for a while. Albert thought for a moment and answered Hermione's question.
Hermione opened her mouth, the expression on her face even more uneasy, but she also knew that it was basically impossible to get Hagrid to give up hatching dragon eggs.
It took Hermione much hesitation before she mustered up the courage to talk to Albert about it.
No way, she had already consulted with Harry and Ron, and she couldn't get a better solution.
Hermione wasn't Harry or Ron, she thought more than the two partners.
Hagrid will never be able to hide the dragon from him, and even if the dragon is hatched, it only takes a month, and it will be difficult to hide it from the others.
"Also, you shouldn't mention this matter to me here, the more people know about it, the more trouble it will become, and you should keep it a secret. Albert kindly reminded Hermione, "Actually, I warned Hagrid in the first place and told him not to let anyone else know. ”
"Wait, you already knew?" Hermione looked at Albert in shock, unable to believe her ears.
Albert raised his finger to his mouth and made a shush motion.
"You don't have to worry about this, just ask Headmaster Dumbledore to send him away when the time comes. Albert came up with his solution.
"Headmaster Dumbledore knows about this, too?"
Of course I don't know, I can only confess to him when the time comes. ”
"And what will happen to Hagrid?"
"I'm probably going to get a few months' salary deducted!" Albert said uncertainly, "and the probability of being kicked out of school is probably not very high." ”
"Is there really no other way?" Hermione didn't want Hagrid to be kicked out, she knew that Hagrid liked Hogwarts very much, and this was his home.
"I told Hagrid about it. Albert looked at Hermione helplessly: "If he insists on doing that, there is nothing I can do, even if he is really kicked out of Hogwarts, it will be the consequence that Hagrid must bear." Well, you don't talk about it anymore, and besides, your sense of secrecy is so bad that sooner or later you're going to get Hagrid in trouble. ”
Looking at Hermione's back as she left, Albert shook his head and turned to leave.
......
"You mean, Albert already knew Hagrid was incubating a dragon?" said Harry and Ron as they listened to Hermione's story, their faces surprised.
"Wait, Hermione, you told Albert about this. Harry was a little puzzled as to why Hermione was doing this, and while Harry had a good impression of Albert, he ...... He always felt that it was bad to tell anyone else about it, and he was also worried that too many people would get Hagrid in trouble if they knew about it.
"Albert is also a friend of Hagrid's, and he has a better brain than we do, so he might be able to find a solution, and you don't want Hagrid to get in trouble because of that, do you?" Hermione explained.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no good way, Hermione didn't really want to do this, but I have to say that having a reliable senior can really help them solve a lot of trouble.
"What he said. Ron was more curious about Albert's solution to the matter.
He said he would ask the principal to send him away when the time came. Hermione said with a complicated expression.
"This ......" The two couldn't help but look at each other, this method was the same as not saying it, they just didn't want others to know, so they didn't know what to do.
"If the Headmaster knew that Hagrid had raised a dragon, would Hagrid be expelled for it?" Harry said, wondering what was going on in his heart.
Albert said that with the principal's character, Hagrid would be deducted from his salary at most, and the chances of being kicked out were unlikely. Hermione raised her index finger to her lips and made a shushing motion, "He thinks we're terrible at secrecy, I think he's right, we'd better not discuss this elsewhere lest more people know about it." ”
Ron was a little upset by this statement and retorted, "We're going to keep it a secret." ”
After that, Harry and Ron stopped discussing dragon eggs.
Of course, there was also a reason why Harry was more concerned about the Philosopher's Stone, and from what Hagrid had learned, Snape was also involved in the protection of the Philosopher's Stone.
Harry thought that Snape might have figured out what the other teachers had set up besides Quirrell's magic trap and how to get through Lowe.
Ron and Hermione had reservations about whether Snape was going to steal the Philosopher's Stone. After all, Headmaster Dumbledore wasn't stupid.
However, Harry didn't know that Snape had already known that the famous Harry was doubting himself, and had labeled him as arrogant and nosy.
