Chapter 97: Hagrid

Since that day, the Leaky Cauldron has had an extra person who pretends to be a fisherman, Quirrell.

As if they had made an appointment, Li Quan and Quirrell faintly formed a tacit understanding between them, and they never ignored each other's actions, as if they completely ignored each other's existence.

Every morning, Li Quan packed up and went downstairs, and occasionally he could meet Quirrell who came down at the same time, hidden in black robes, they never knew each other, and they never greeted each other. Only when the other party is air passing by. After going downstairs, Li Quan would sit in a fixed place every day, quickly open the bottles and cans, and then start the day's potions practice. Quirrell would walk to the darkest corner of the bar without saying a word, sit down, and set the dragon egg on it.

In this way, the atmosphere passed in a rather strange fermentation for several more days.

Li Quan would always distract his attention from the door, paying attention to the wizards in the past. Finally, on this day, he waited for the person he was waiting for.

The door of the bar was pushed open, and a large man with an unusually tall figure appeared at the door, and as he passed carefully, the wooden door of the bar creaked weakly, as if it would be crushed at any moment.

The big man's face was almost completely obscured by his long unkempt hair and knotted thick beard, but his black beetle-like eyes could still be seen, glinting beneath the unkempt hair.

It was a pair of fierce, brutal, beetle-like eyes.

With every step he took, the wooden floor of the bar creaked and looked overwhelmed. The big man was covered with a crude robe made of burlap, which looked neat and polite in appearance.

At this time, Tom, the owner of the bar, waved at the big man, stood behind the bar and greeted him with a smile, "Hi, Hagrid." Why haven't I seen you come over lately, I said that I would waive the cost of your two drinks. ”

Tom, the owner of the bar, is obviously familiar with Hagrid, as Hagrid is also a regular customer of the Leaky Cauldron, but Hagrid doesn't have much money, and even when he visits, he tends to buy only the cheapest drinks.

Hagrid let out a bright laugh, a slightly awkward laugh, and replied, "I've been working for Hogwarts for a few days lately. I'm only available today. ”

As soon as Hagrid sat down, his heavy body crushed the chair and creaked violently.

"Is it a gin or a beer today?" Tom asked.

"Have a light ale." Hagrid said with a smile.

"Okay."

Soon Tom brought a large glass of beer with a thick layer of white foam and handed it over, saying that he would slow down. Hagrid happily took a long sip of his glass before turning his gaze to the bar lobby.

Soon, he noticed Li Quan, who was "concentrating" on refining potions, and Quirrell in the corner. They were attracted by the huge eggs on the table for two.

Hagrid's eyes lit up, and he strode over, ignoring his own wine. After a little hesitation, he first walked up to Li Quan.

"Good afternoon, sir. Sorry to bother you, can I ask, what kind of eggs are these? Hagrid tried to make his tone as polite as possible, knowing that his rough and vicious appearance often made a bad impression and brought unnecessary misunderstandings to those who met him for the first time.

Li Quan frowned and raised his head, as if he had been disturbed by the refining process and was not in a good mood. After seeing the giant-like figure standing in front of him, Li Quan showed a look of horror very well.

"Uh, I'm sorry. I just wanted to ask where these eggs came from. I'm very interested in Fantastic Beasts......" Hagrid said with some embarrassment, scratching at his unkempt hair.

"These are hydra eggs." Li Quan replied bluntly.

"Hydra?" Hagrid's face was visibly stunned when he heard this: "What's that?" ”

Apparently, Hagrid had never heard of such a magical animal.

Of course he couldn't have heard of it. If it weren't for Li Quan, a traverser, these eggs wouldn't exist here. It's a whole other plane thing.

Li Quan had already prepared his words, and seeing that Hagrid had already taken the bait, he no longer hesitated and began to implement the plan: "I am a wizard from the East, China, you should have heard of it, right?" ”

"A Chinese wizard?" Hagrid's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, "I've heard that there are many powerful wizards out there!" ”

"You're right." Li Quan smiled slightly and said, "I am a wizard who traveled abroad, and these eggs are the ones I brought from China, and they are our unique magical animals. ”

Hagrid's eyes lit up at this hearing, and a look of interest was written on his face without concealment.

Li Quan said: "This creature is very dangerous. Adult hydras can grow three heads, and some of them can breathe frozen mist from their mouths, some can breathe fire, and some can spew corrosive venom. It is a very dangerous magical creature. ”

Hagrid's eyes brightened when he heard this: "Very dangerous? What about Bilong? How about Bilong? ”

Li Quanxu touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "In my opinion, it is as dangerous as the Chinese Fireball Dragon, and the Adult Hydra has three heads, which is even more difficult to deal with. ”

Hagrid was already rubbing his hands together excitedly, his face itching.

When Li Quan saw it, he knew that Hagrid had been completely moved, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and the next thing was to induce.

I saw Hagrid glance at Li Quan from under his thick eyebrows, coughed a few times in embarrassment, and asked a little twistedly: "This gentleman from afar, I don't know if you have any plans to sell these eggs?" Well...... I mean, I want to buy these eggs. Of course, I can't pay too much, and you should see that I'm not rich. However, I can exchange it for something else, I have a lot of magical creatures myself, and I can exchange them for the eggs they lay! ”

"Eggs? What kind of eggs? Li Quanqiang couldn't help but smile and asked.

"How's the eight-eyed spider?" Hagrid immediately perked up and proposed, "I have raised an eight-eyed spider, and I will name him Aragog." Aragog is a good spider. Well...... Recently, it has laid a lot of eggs. I can ask him for a few, and if I can, I'd trade them for a hydra egg with you. ”

After Hagrid finished speaking, a pair of small beetle-like eyes looked at Li Quan with a bright hope.

Li Quan pretended to think about it, then shook his head and refused, "It's a pity." I don't have much interest in the eight-eyed spider. What's more, I'm not going to sell these eggs either. ”

Hagrid couldn't hide the disappointment on his face when he heard this.

Li Quan continued, "As you can see, I originally planned to use these eggs to improve my Potions level. I'm working on refining a potion to help these eggs hatch quickly. Unfortunately, I tried many times and failed. From the lessons learned, I felt that I was missing some key qualifications. That's why I'm traveling. I heard that there are a lot of talented wizards in the British wizarding world, so I wanted to try my luck and see if I could help me solve this problem. ”

Hagrid, who was originally a little disappointed, regained his spirit after listening to Li Quan's words, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, you have come to the right place, British wizards are the best wizards in the world!" There are a lot of great wizards here. To tell you the truth, I know a few of them! ”

"Oh? It's true? Li Quan exuded a hint of suspicion.

Hagrid looked proud and said, "Of course! First and second to none, it was Albus Dumbledore! He's the greatest wizard I've ever met! Dumbledore is the current Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he is also the President of the International Confederation of Wizards and the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot! The magic that Dumbledore invented and perfected is too many to count in a few pairs! ”

Li Quan immediately showed a look of surprise when he heard this, and said, "Do you know Dumbledore?" I know him, and he's also very famous in China. I know that he is considered the greatest wizard of the century. ”

When Hagrid heard this, he immediately smiled, and suddenly raised his slap and pressed it on Li Quan's shoulder, laughing and saying, "That's right! That's it! Yes, I know Dumbledore, of course I do. I'm still the key keeper of Hogwarts! ”

Li Quan grinned at being slapped by this slap, which was no less than being slapped by a bear, secretly complaining bitterly, but he wanted to pretend to be curious and hopeful and said: "If what you say is true, then I can make a condition." I have a lot of questions about Potions and would like to consult Dumbledore, and if you can introduce me, then I'd like to send you a hydra egg. Yes, to you. ”

"What you said is true?" Hagrid's eyes widened, surprised and delighted.

"Of course it's true." Li Quan smiled and nodded.

Hagrid's eyes rolled. In his opinion, introducing Dumbledore to an admirer who was also a wizard from a mysterious eastern country was nothing. Dumbledore wouldn't let him reveal Hogwarts secrets, but he didn't tell him to introduce friends to him. What's more, it would also allow him to get the creature's egg.

Hagrid stared at the hydra eggs on the table. These ordinary domes were more precious to him than a large pile of gold. This is a magical creature that has never been seen before in the wizarding world of England, and probably not in the whole of Europe. He couldn't help but want to get one!

Thinking of this, Hagrid raised his head and said in a firm tone, "Good! I'll introduce you to Dumbledore. In return, do I get an egg? ”

"Deal!" Li Quan's face flashed with ecstasy when he heard this, and he clapped his hands with a smile and said.

"Then it's decided!" Hagrid was also overjoyed, and he planned to take Li Quan back to Dumbledore immediately.

However, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at the black-robed man in the corner, and the egg on the table in front of the black-robed man.

After a moment's hesitation, Hagrid said to Li Quan, "Wait a minute, I can take you to Dumbledore later." ”

Li Quan immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I'll pack my things first." ”

Hagrid nodded and headed for the corner of the bar.

Li Quan knew that Hagrid was about to fall into the trap set by Quirrell and Voldemort.
