At night, Hogwarts fell silent. The weather doesn't seem to be good today, there is not a single star in sight in the night sky, and even the moon doesn't know where to hide. There was nothing else to illuminate other than the lights in the castle.

In the hut, Duan Chen, who had just finished alchemy, looked at the time, cleaned up a little, and went out to his neighbor Hagrid. Sheryl, Yunas, and Lucifer haven't come back since they had been out for a day, and he wasn't worried, because the strength of the two blood girls was enough for them to protect themselves.

Knocking on the door of Hagrid's house, you are greeted by Hagrid's scruffy but excited face.

"Oh, Drake, you're here." Hagrid smiled and beckoned him in, "You're just in time, the dragon eggs are about to hatch, and soon we can see the newborn baby dragon, haha!" ”

Duan Chen smiled and raised a bottle of high-grade rum in his hand: "At this kind of celebratory moment, we must drink two glasses." ”

"Haha! That's right, Drake, you're a friend! Hagrid happily took the bottle, turned and walked to the fireplace, and pulled out two oak glasses.

Broken Chen stood beside him, and looked at the iron pot on the stove, and couldn't help but hang a few black lines on his head, because the dragon egg that Hagrid regarded as a treasure was now in the iron cauldron that was burning red, and the situation looked more like Hagrid was making a supper.

"Hagrid, what are you doing here?"

"What?" Hagrid, who didn't know why, asked rhetorically, followed Broken Chen's gaze at the iron pot, and said with a smile, "I'm hatching it." ”

"Are you sure this is hatching, not making dragon quiches?"

"It's okay, fire dragons are different from other oviparous animals, the hotter the environment, the faster they hatch, I just do this to hatch it quickly." Hagrid casually explained.

Broken Chen looked at Hagrid's determined expression, then looked at the dragon egg in the iron pot, and shrugged his shoulders speechlessly: "Okay." The world really can't be measured by science. ”

"Come and sit, Drake." Hagrid poured the wine that Broken Chen had brought, "Would you like some snacks?" How about rock crust cakes? ”

"No, it's too hard, I don't want to get my teeth dirty."

"Haha, huh? I really like it, it's very crispy to bite. ”

The two were chatting with each other, but there was a knock at the door.

"Who's going to come here at such a late hour?" Hagrid muttered inexplicably, and got up to open the door.

Broken Chen sat in his chair and didn't move, but his eyes had already moved to the door. As expected. Standing outside the door were Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

Hagrid saw the three of them running out after the curfew, and immediately became a little angry: "Why did you come out so late? Aren't you afraid of being deducted points? Hurry back, I'm too busy right now to entertain you. ”

"We already know about the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry and Ron shouted at the same time, causing Hagrid to stop as he prepared to close the door.

"Oh." Reluctantly, Hagrid opened the wooden door and turned into the house.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, pulled a listless Hermione into the cabin, and saw Broken Chen sitting there.

"Professor Drake! Why are you here? Ron asked, surprised.

Broken Chen did not answer. He looked at Hermione, who had been keeping her head down since she entered the room, and sighed secretly, then withdrew her gaze and remained silent.

Hagrid saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He beckoned everyone to sit down and said, "What did you come out of the middle of the night to ask me?" ”

Harry looked at Broken Chen, hesitating whether to speak. Before, Broken Chen had warned them not to ask about the Philosopher's Stone again. But now they bumped into each other face to face, and for a moment Harry didn't know whether to speak or not.

Ron saw that Harry didn't speak for a long time, so he simply plucked up the courage to ask first: "Hagrid." We came to ask you, is there a magic stone hidden in the corridor at the corner of the third floor? ”

Hagrid knew that Harry knew a lot about them, and he didn't hide it, "That's true, but it shouldn't be your business. ”

Harry suddenly became excited: "But Snape wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, you have to find a way!" ”

"Professor Snape? Why are you still suspicious of him? He was one of the professors who protected the Philosopher's Stone, so how could he steal the Philosopher's Stone. Hagrid frowned, clearly unhappy that they were suspicious of Snape.

At that moment, the sound of clattering and shattering crusts from the furnace interrupted Harry's conversation.

Hagrid rushed over immediately, quickly removed the dragon egg from the iron pot with his hands wearing heat-insulated gloves, and carefully placed it on the table. Harry and Ron's attention was immediately drawn to the egg, and the Philosopher's Stone and everything else were temporarily forgotten. As for Hermione, she was still silent.

Harry looked up and down and asked curiously, "What is this?" Hagrid. ”

Ron next to him was full of excitement: "I know what this is!" But Hagrid, how do you have this thing? ”

"This is what I won from a guest in the Leaky Cauldron Bar." Hagrid spoke, but his eyes remained motionless at the dragon egg, and his expression of anticipation was overflowing.

Finally, the sound of the dragon egg breaking sounded, and a small lizard-like head emerged from the eggshell, and kept squeezing its body out. As the eggshell peeled off, a baby fire dragon the size of two palms was born.

"Wow! It's a dragon! Harry exclaimed excitedly.

"It's no ordinary dragon, it's a Norwegian spinback dragon!" Ron, who is knowledgeable, is selling his knowledge while looking at the baby dragon with a bright eye. For boys of their age, these strange creatures are very attractive.

"Oh, look at it, how beautiful it is! Does it know where its mother is? Hello, turnips. Hagrid's gruff face was now covered with a motherly glow, and he teased the little fire dragon with his own words, and gave the little one a rather funny name. As a result, the little fire dragon was shot with a flame spray, and his beard was almost set on fire.

Broken Chen sat on the side, glanced at the little fire dragon casually, and then turned his gaze to Hermione, who was also silent. Hermione also seemed to be secretly looking at him, and immediately lowered her head the moment she came into contact with Broken Star's gaze.

Broken Chen's brow furrowed slightly, not because Hermione didn't dare to look at him, but because he saw Hermione's dark eyes. Let a little girl worry about herself like this. A sense of guilt couldn't help but rise in Broken Chen's heart.

"Huh? Who is that? Hagrid, who was putting out the fire for his beard, saw a figure outside the window.

Harry turned his head to see a panicked face that quickly disappeared into darkness, and although he didn't see his face, the signature platinum-blond hair was enough to tell the identity of the voyeur.

"Oops! It's Draco! Harry watched with chagrin as Draco ran farther and farther away, too late to stop.

Ron tugged at Harry and Hermione, "Let's hurry back or we'll get caught by the Professor." ”

"See you another day, Hagrid! Goodbye, Professor Drake! An anxious Harry said goodbye. Hurriedly ran to the castle with Ron.

Hermione slowly got up and walked to the rear, stopping to look back on the way, but she didn't see the figure that appeared at the door of the hut in anticipation, so she turned away with a sour attitude. Hermione didn't know that this qiē was all in his eyes, and it also deepened the guilt in his heart.

Seeing off the three little ones, Hagrid placed the dragon in a makeshift nest and sat back down on the edge of the Broken Star.

"What's wrong with you, Drake? The excitement didn't seem to be very high, and he hadn't spoken to Harry and the others just now. Isn't your relationship with them very good? Careless Hagrid noticed that something was wrong with Broken Chen, because his mood was almost written on his face at this time, and it was a heavy and worried expression.

Hearing this, Duan Chen rubbed his face, and his expression relaxed a little. He filled his and Hagrid's glasses. Raise her glass, "Let's have a toast, Hagrid." ”

"Oh, cheers!" Hagrid could see that Broken Chen was in a bad mood, so he probably wanted to drink with him. So it's not hypocritical, just raise a glass and do it.

There is a slight bitterness in the spicy spicy throat, and there will be a faint sweetness after swallowing. That's what rum tastes like. Strictly speaking, rum is not good, but perhaps it is precisely because of its special taste that so many people are deeply obsessed with this wine.

It was the first time he had drunk it, but like many people, he liked the bittersweet rum, so he drank it cup after cup. It's not that I want to get drunk, but I like the taste of bitterness and sweetness in my mouth.

"Drink less, Drake." Hagrid advised, "Tell me if anything doesn't go your way, we're friends, aren't we?" ”

Broken Chen smiled, didn't explain anything, with his body, his metabolism is already more than twenty times that of ordinary people, it is impossible to get drunk or anything, I have to say that this is also a kind of sadness.

As for the things that didn't go well, Broken Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Hagrid, do you have someone you like? What does it feel like to like someone? ”

Burst!

Hearing Duan Chen say this, Hagrid directly squirted out all the wine he had just drunk in his mouth, and then watched his rugged face turn red, and his expression was twisted enough to make people fall goosebumps.

"Drake... Why do you suddenly ask... This kind of problem... Scold... Huh..."

When Duan Chen saw Hagrid's appearance, he knew that there was definitely a situation, and he was immediately aroused to find out: "Hagrid, it seems that you really have someone you like, tell me about it." ”

"This... That one... I... She—" Hagrid hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Broken Chen couldn't help but laugh, Hagrid is a rough nerve, and he is indeed rough. But he is a very simple person in mind, and it is reasonable to be embarrassed to be asked about this kind of topic.

After being broken for a while, Hagrid finally agreed: "She is the principal of the French magic school, [], I have known her for a long time, I think she and I like each other, but I don't know how to express my feelings, so... Huh..."

"And how do you feel about her?" Broken Chen asked.

Hagrid thought for a moment, "Do you feel it?" I think I just like it, I feel very happy and satisfied when I think of her, that's it..."

"Nothing else?" Broken pressed on, hoping to get some inspiration from Hagrid's story.

"Uh... Not for the time being. Hagrid scratched his head.

Broken Chen was a little disappointed, obviously it was undoubtedly unrealistic to let a guy who was simpler than himself in terms of feelings give some advice.

"Oh, yes." Hagrid suddenly remembered something, "And one more, and that's how important she is to me. ”

"Important—" Broken Chen was stunned for a moment, and then his gaze gradually cleared.
