Chapter Seventy-Three: Hagrid's Dragon
Just as Harry and the others began to support Quirrell, Hermione also began the latest round of pre-exam revisions—yes, pre-exam revisions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ron grumbled, "Hermione! We're hundreds of years away from exams! ”
"Closed. Mouth it! Hermione retorted, "Ten weeks to go!" Did you know that exams are very important? I was supposed to start reviewing a month ago, but I don't know what's wrong with me......"
It is clear that the teachers had the same attitude towards this, and they decisively assigned homework that could drown people during the later Easter holidays. So Harry and his group of four could only nest in the library, complaining and doing their homework.
Merlin dozed off, he wasn't worried about not finishing his homework. He listened to Ron muttering a few words, and then leaned over and glanced at the homework in Merlin's hand with his eyes: "Merlin, give me a reference." ”
Merlin snorted a few times, and casually gave the parchment out to continue his magical transformation work. Ron took the assignment and went with Harry to "ponder" with his head down. Hermione glared at Merlin, "Why don't you go and babysit for them?" ”
It was at this time that Hagrid appeared in everyone's field of vision. Ron temporarily stopped what he was doing, and he asked a little strangely, "Hagrid?" What are you doing here? ”
Hagrid heard Ron's voice, and he walked over slowly, "Just take a look." "He looked like he was hiding something, and it caught everyone's attention." So what are you doing? Still looking for Nick LeMay? ”
"No, we actually already know who he is." Merlin said with a smile. Ron said, "And the Philosopher's Stone." ”
This startled Hagrid, who gave them a serious warning, and then sneaked out of the library.
Hermione stared at Hagrid thoughtfully, "What do you think Hagrid is hiding behind his back?" "Do you think it has something to do with the Philosopher's Stone?" Harry asked, too.
Ron had long been overwhelmed by the overwhelming amount of homework, so he immediately became interested in this matter: "Let's go and see what Hagrid is looking at!" ”
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 them out: "Types of Dragons in Great Britain and Ireland", "From Hatching Eggs to Nirvana", "Guide to Keeping Dragons". ”
"Hagrid has always wanted a dragon." Harry said, "He told me the first time we met. ”
Merlin frowned: "Raising dragons is illegal, Hagrid can't be unaware...... Could it be that Hagrid has a dragon? ”
The remaining three people were suddenly shocked: "Maybe it's really possible!" ”
Harry was in no mood to do his homework, so they packed up their things and headed for Hagrid's hut next to the Forbidden Forest.
They knocked on the door of Hagrid's house, and Hagrid opened the closed door, and a wave of heat came over him. Merlin didn't listen much to Harry and Hagrid about the Philosopher's Stone Guardian, and as soon as he entered, he fixed his eyes on the huge black object inside the fire—it was a dragon egg!
"Hagrid—what's that?" Harry was incredulous, he didn't really think it would be a good thing for Hagrid to have a dragon egg.
Hai Pattern twisted his beard uneasily and said, "That's—oh......"
"Where did you get that, Hagrid?" Ron said, crouching down to the fire and taking a closer look at the big egg. "It must have cost you a lot of money!"
"Won." Hagrid said proudly, "Last night, I was drinking in the village and playing cards with a stranger. Honestly, the man was probably desperate to get rid of it. ”
"But what are you going to do when it hatches?" Hermione asked.
Hagrid wasn't worried, but it didn't look like a sign of confidence at all - Hagrid must have been carried away by the big surprise.
Harry and his party left Hagrid's hut and returned to their normal days. But now they need to worry not only about the Philosopher's Stone, but also about adding Hagrid's dragon egg.
Then, finally came the day when the little dragon came out of the shell. Hagrid eagerly gave Harry a note, which kept Harry and Ron as elpitted for an afternoon, just as they had been with a broomstick.
As soon as the afternoon class was over, the four of them ran to Hagrid's wooden house. At this time, Hagrid's face was red and excited, and he didn't know what he was muttering. Everyone moved a stool and sat around the fire, waiting for the little dragon to break out of the shell.
Suddenly, there was a sudden scraping sound, followed by several cracking sounds, and a black young dragon emerged. It had black scales, red eyes, and then it sneezed and several sparks popped out.

Merlin exclaimed softly, such a little dragon actually already has level 4 strength, and sure enough, in all the Western magic worlds, the dragon is the real protagonist!
But then, Hagrid's face changed suddenly: "Someone peeked through the curtains—a boy—running to school!" ”
Harry rushed to the door with a lunge, and then walked back with a bad face: "It's Malfoy." I won't admit it. ”
"Oh my God!" Hermione covered her mouth.
Over the next week, Harry and his party fidgeted at the sight of Malfoy's malicious smile. They spent most of their time explaining to Hagrid that it wasn't a good idea to keep a dragon in their wooden house, but it didn't seem to work. Hagrid even named the dragon, Noble.
"Charlie!"
One day, after persuasion, Harry suddenly screamed, which startled Ron, "What are you calling?" I'm Ron. ”
"No, no, no, I mean your brother." Harry said eagerly, "Didn't your brother study dragons in Romania?" We can give Noble to him to raise and finally release him into the wild! ”
Ron's eyes lit up: "Great! Hagrid, what do you think? ”
Hagrid didn't seem very willing, but agreed to let the owl send a letter to Charlie.
A few days later, just as Ron complained that he had been bitten, Harry's owl Hedwig replied with good news, they could raise the dragon, but they needed to go to the top of the tower of Hogwarts Castle on a Saturday night.
But trouble came, and Ron's bite a few days ago became troublesome, and he had to stay in the hospital to recuperate.
