Chapter 30: Dragon Egg!
"Hermione, exams are hundreds of years away."
"Ten weeks." Hermione retorted, "Not hundreds of years, to Nicol. For Lemay, it's just a blink of an eye. ”
"But we're not 600 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 studying them a month ago, I don't know what happened to me......"
Hermione, who has dream time, has learned all the knowledge of the first grade early, and can still memorize it fluently, and usually spends most of her time studying extracurricular knowledge in the library.
However, even so, she was still worried about the first time she took the exam, and always felt that what if she couldn't do it? This is the so-called pre-exam anxiety, even Liu Jiecao can't comfort her, and the persuasion of the other Loli is useless, so Hermione can only adjust herself.
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 next to her, or practicing the movements of a wand, it's hard to rest easily. Harry and Ron spent most of their free time in the library, sighing and yawning, desperately trying to complete their heavy schoolwork.
Liu Jiecao's memory of the past may not be good, but since he became the creator, the things that he re-remembered later will not be easily forgotten, and even if he really forgets, there will be a book of creation to retrieve at any time, and it is in his head.
He didn't have to memorize anything about exams, and he was still scanning the books to enter the Book of Creation while staying in the library.
It's hard to believe that the school's library is so big. Recently, I've been scanning one after another, but I still can't scan all the books.
What's more, this is only a part of the library, and there are still many dangerous reading materials in the forbidden book area, and Liu Jiecao knows that this may not be a good opportunity until the next semester.
"I'll never remember that." One afternoon, Ron finally couldn't take it anymore and threw the quill away. I stared out the window of the library.
For the first time in months, they had such good weather. The sky was clear and blue, the color of forget-me-nots, and there was a sense of summer in the air.
Harry was immersed in "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" to find "white freshness". 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 take a look." Hagrid said, the voice dodgy and immediately intriguing them.
"Are you here?" He suddenly became suspicious. "Still looking for Nicol. Lemay, huh? ”
"Oh, we figured out who he was hundreds of years ago," Ron said triumphantly, "and we know what that dog was watching." It's the Philosopher's Stone—"
"Shh——!h Hagrid quickly looked around to see if anyone heard, "Don't shout, what the hell are you trying to do?" ”
"Let's be honest. We have a few things to ask you. Harry said, "It's about the mechanism that guards the Philosopher's Stone, except for Lowe-"
"Shhhh Remember, I didn't promise to tell you anything, but don't ramble here. There are some things that students shouldn't know. They'll think I'm telling you—"
"See you later, then." Harry said.
Hagrid tapped away.
Looking at Hailuo's flustered appearance, Liu Jiecao was speechless, this thing is really unreliable.
"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'm going to see what book he just had on me." Ron said 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 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, and he said that to me the first time I met him." Harry said.
"But it's against the law." Ron said, "At the Wizards' Conference of 1709, a bill prohibiting dragon breeding was officially passed, and everyone knew about it. If we have dragons in our back garden, it's hard not to get Muggles to notice us - and it's dangerous that you can 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.
"Absolutely." Ron said, "There's the common Welsh green dragon and the Hebridin black dragon. 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.
"What else can I do? Of course, I want to raise dragons. Liu Jiecao concluded.
"What?" Several of them didn't believe it, because on the one hand, they couldn't believe that Hagrid was so bold as to violate the ban of the Ministry of Magic, and on the other hand, they didn't believe that Hagrid could get the dragon.
"You'll find out when you go to Hagrid." Liu Jiecao said mysteriously.
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 brought them tea and a ferret sandwich, which they politely declined.
"So—do you have something to ask me?"
"Yes." Harry said. There is 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." He said, "Number one, I don't know. 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. Harry and Ron smiled satisfactorily with satisfaction, and Liu Jiecao nodded secretly, feeling that her acting skills had improved again.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to talk to you—let me think about it—he borrowed the Louwe from me—and asked the other teachers to cast a spell...... Professor Sprout—Professor Flitwick—Professor McGonagall—" he counted with his hands, "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, huh? Lo and behold, Snape had helped protect the Philosopher's Stone, and he wouldn't steal it. ”
Harry felt that Liu Jiecao, Ron, and Hermione should have the same thoughts in their hearts as he did. Now that Snape was involved in protecting the Philosopher's Stone, it must have been easy for him to figure out what the other teachers had set up for him. He probably knew everything—except Quirrell's magic and how to get through Lowe.
"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.
"That's good, that's good." Harry muttered to the others.
"Hagrid, can we open a window? I'm hot to death. ”
"No, Harry, I'm sorry." Hagrid said.
Harry noticed him glancing towards the fireplace. Harry turned his head to look at the fire.
"Hagrid—what's that?"
Actually, he already knew. In the middle of the fire, under the kettle, lay a large black egg.
He knew that Liu Jiecao's guess was completely correct, this was definitely a dragon egg.
Ron and Hermione also stared at the dragon egg, the first time they had seen it alive.
Liu Jiecao looked at the dragon egg, and couldn't help but think of dragon blood, dragon teeth, dragon bones and other materials on the dragon's body, whether it is alchemy or potions, the materials on the dragon's body are always one of the first choices.
He and the Immortal Sect have recently refined some things, but the materials are too ordinary, they are all ordinary materials bought from the school, and really good materials are not so easy to buy, such as the materials on the dragon.
As for the wild dragons, they are almost all supervised by the Ministry of Magic, and it is impossible to hunt them even if they want to, not to mention that Liu Jiecao does not feel that he has enough strength to hunt dragons. The dragon is definitely stronger than the three-headed dog Lu Wei, at least the current Liu Jiecao has not faced the three-headed dog without using tricks, let alone the dragon.
As a result, there is the most intuitive way to obtain the materials on the dragon's body. (To be continued......)
