Chapter 46: Hagrid and the Dragon

"Hurry up, Harry!" Hermione screamed, jumped into her seat, and watched Harry rush straight towards Snape - she hadn't even noticed Malfoy and Lin rolling in a ball under her seat, nor did she notice that Ron was in Hip Gower, and she hadn't noticed Neville and Crabbe scuffling together, punching and kicking each other, screaming in pain.

In the air, Snape had barely activated his broomstick when he saw a golden object "whizz" past his ear, just inches away from him - and then Harry stopped diving. He raised his arm triumphantly, and the snitch was clutched tightly in his hand. There was a boil in the stands, it would be a new record, and no one can remember in which game the snitch was caught so quickly.

"Ron, Yi Yan! Where are you? It's over! Harry wins! We won! Team Gryffindor is ahead! Hermione screamed, jumping in her chair and hugging Patil in the front row.

"Harry, where have you been?" Hermione said sharply.

"We won! You win! We won! Ron slapped Harry on the back and shouted, "Malfoy is unconscious, Yi Yan killed two by himself, Neville's nose is broken." Let's talk about teaching Slytherin a lesson! Everyone is waiting for you in the common room, they're having a celebration, and Fred and George have stolen some cake from the kitchen or something. ”

"Leave that alone," Harry said breathlessly, "let's find an empty room, and you hear me tell you......" Harry was sure that Peeves was not in the house before turning around and closing the door, and then told them what he had just seen and heard.

"So, we're right, it's the Philosopher's Stone, and Snape wants to force Quirrell to help him get it. He asked Quirrell if he knew how to subdue Lowe - and mentioned Quirrell's 'secret tricks' - I guess there were some other mechanisms guarding the stone besides Lowe and probably a lot of magic and sorcery, maybe Quirrell had cast some anti-dark magic spell that Snape needed to undo it-"

"You mean to say that the Philosopher's Stone is only safe if Quirrell is able to resist Snape?" Hermione asked in alarm.

"Don't prematurely define it." Lin Yiyan rubbed his wrist and said. Grandma's, why do you feel that your body has shrunk and your strength has shrunk a lot, or is it that everyone in the wizarding world is more beaten? Fortunately, they didn't know about it, otherwise, they would have really laughed to death!

Because Harry was sure that Snape wanted to steal the stones, and Quirrell was the Guardian. So every time Harry met Quirrell on the road, he had to give him a smile of encouragement, and Ron began to persuade people to stop laughing at Quirrell's stammering, and Lin Yiyan was completely speechless about it, only saying that you will regret it.

Hermione, as for hermione, has more to worry about than the Philosopher's Stone. She has already started to make a revision plan and mark all her notes with different colors. Aside from Lin, Harry and Ron didn't care, but she kept nagging them and telling them to do the same.

"Hermione, exams are hundreds of years away."

"Ten weeks," Hermione retorted, "not hundreds of years, but for Nicol Lemay, it's just the blink of an eye. ”

"But we're not six hundred years old," Ron reminded her, "and, anyway, why do you have to review, you already know everything." ”

"Why should I review? Are you crazy? Did you know that we have to pass these exams to move on to Year 2? They are very important, I should have started reviewing them a month ago, I don't know what happened to me! ”

Unfortunately, the teachers seem to think the same way as Hermione. They set a whole bunch of homework assignments, and the Easter holidays were nowhere near as much fun as they were at Christmas. With Hermione reciting the twelve uses of dragon's blood beside her, or practicing the movements of a wand, it's hard for you to rest easily, unless you're Lin Yiyan.

As a scholar who is not weaker than or even stronger than Hermione, Lin Yiyan is naturally much more relaxed. Harry and Ron had to spend most of their free time in the library with her, sighing and yawning, desperately trying to complete their heavy schoolwork.

"I'll never remember that." One afternoon, Ron finally couldn't stand it anymore, he threw away the quill, and looked at Lin Yiyan, who was muttering something in a low voice, constantly waving his wand. Harry was immersed in searching for "white freshness" in A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, when suddenly he heard Ron say, "Hagrid! What are you doing in the library? ”

Hagrid stomped over and hid something behind him. He wears a moleskin coat and looks very out of place.

"Just look at it," Hagrid said, his voice dodgy, and at once intrigued. "What are you doing here?" He suddenly became suspicious. "Still looking for Nicol Lemay, aren't you?"

"Oh, we figured out who he was hundreds of years ago," Ron said triumphantly, "and we know what that dog was guarding for, the Philosopher's Stone—"

"Shhhh They'll think I'm telling you—"

"See you later, then." Harry said. Hagrid tapped away.

"What is he hiding behind his back?" Hermione said thoughtfully.

"Do you think it will have something to do with the Philosopher's Stone?"

"I'll go see what book he's looking for." Ron said that he had grown impatient with reading. A minute later, he returned, with a large pile of books in his arms, and threw them heavily on the table.

"Dragon!" He whispered, "Hagrid is looking up information about dragons!" Check out these: "Types of Dragons in Great Britain and Ireland", "From Hatching to Nirvana", "Guide to Raising Dragons". ”

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

"But it's against the law," Ron said, "and the Wizards' Conference of 1709 officially passed a bill banning dragon breeding, and everyone knows it." If we keep dragons in our back garden, it's hard for Muggles to stay out of our eyes - and it's dangerous to tame them. You should really look at the burns on Charlie's body, which were left to him by the Romanian dragon. ”

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

"Of course," Ron continued, "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. Our wizards had to constantly chant spells to Muggles who saw the dragon, so that they forgot about it. ”

"So what exactly does Hagrid want to do?" Hermione said.

"Raise dragons." Lin Yiyan stretched and said. At the same time, he put away his wand and watched Lin Yiyan disappear the wand in his hand, Harry and Ron were envious, they had been envious of Lin Yiyan's hand for a long time! At least in their opinion, with Lin Yiyan's hands, the luggage does not need to be held in the hand, and it can be easily carried every day.

An hour later, they knocked on the door of the hunting ground guard's hut. They were surprised to find that all the curtains were drawn tightly. Hagrid first shouted, "Who?" He let them in, and then quickly turned around and closed the door. It was suffocatingly hot in the cabin. Despite the fact that it was such a warm sunny day, there was a roaring fire in the fireplace. Hagrid poured them tea and brought them a ferret's sandwich, which they politely declined.

"So—do you have something to ask me?" Hagrid asked, plucking his beard.

"Yes." Harry said that there was no need to beat around the bush. "We don't know if you can tell us what other mechanism is there to protect the Philosopher's Stone besides Lu Wei?"

Hagrid frowned at them.

"Of course I can't say." "Number one, I don't know," he said. Second, you already know so much that I wouldn't tell you even if I did. That stone makes a lot of sense here. It was almost stolen from Gringotts - I guess you got that all figured out, right? I don't understand how you even know about Lou Wei. ”

"Oh, Hagrid, you probably don't want to tell us, you know that. What happens here, can escape your eyes? Hermione said in a sweet, flattering tone. Hagrid's beard twitched, and they could tell he was laughing. "Actually, we just want to know who designed those mechanisms." Hermione continued, "We want to know who else Dumbledore trusts to help him besides you. ”

Hearing this last sentence, Hagrid puffed up his chest.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to talk to you—let me think about it—he borrowed Lowe from me—and asked the other teachers to cast a spell on Professor Sprout—Professor Flitwick—Professor McGonagall—" he counted with his hand, "Professor Quirrell—of course, Dumbledore himself did his magic. Wait a minute, I've forgotten about one person. Oh, yes, it's Professor Snape. ”

"Snape?"

"yes—are you still suspicious of him? Lo and behold, Snape had helped protect the Philosopher's Stone, and he wouldn't steal it. ”

"You're the only one who knows how to get through Loe, don't you, Hagrid?" Harry asked eagerly, "You're not going to tell anyone, are you?" Even the teacher doesn't tell, does he? ”

"No one wants to know but me and Dumbledore." Hagrid said proudly. (To be continued.) )
