Chapter 58: An Egg for a Message
Why is Hagrid here?
Benjamin wondered if he shouldn't have stayed in his cabin with his big dog, Tooth Tooth, at this time?
Hagrid didn't recognize Benjamin, and certainly no one would recognize Benjamin unless it was for a wizard like Professor McGonagall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He expertly ordered a large glass of butterbeer and a roast sausage, and then sat down next to Benjamin.
Hagrid glanced at Benjamin with interest, and then began to eat the huge sausage on his plate.
Benjamin suspects that the portions must be tailored to the size of the customer.
At this time, a guest who had been sitting in the corner walked in, and he was wearing the same mask as Benjamin.
It seems that wearing a mask at the pig's head bar is a tradition.
He sat down across from Hagrid, and asked very familiarly, "Descendants of giants?" ā
Benjamin felt that this person's voice seemed to be a little familiar.
Had he heard it at the Malfoy's party? There were so many wizards he had met that day, and Benjamin could hardly tell from the sound.
"Oh, giants? no, no, no, I mean, I have the blood of giants, from my mother. Hagrid said with some unhappiness.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he doesn't like this topic at all.
The masked wizard touched his cup and said:
"I'm sorry, I was a little presumptuous. Actually, I've been following you for a long time, friend. I've always wanted to talk to you. ā
"Really?" Hagrid looked agitated, his beard on the verge of falling into the butterbeer. "I mean, I'm so special, it's easy for people to notice me. However, they weren't very willing to be friends with me. You know, giants......"
"Yes, giants, they will always say that giants are evil. The masked wizard laughed, "What do they say? I don't think so, I'm a freak like you. I'm a, Death Eater!"
Hagrid laughed when he said that, which was a very good joke, and comforted Hagrid.
"yes, what do they do, friend, I find that they have the right temper!"
Benjamin had been silently observing them, and he even added a new glass of butterbeer in order not to show his clues.
Warm and smelly.
The masked wizard and Hagrid had a great time, and they talked a lot about giants, gnomes, Muggles, and the Ministry of Magic.
Then he suddenly talked about Hogwarts.
"I work as a caretaker at Hogwarts, you know? Hagrid stroked his beard.
"Oh, the Forbidden Forest, of course I know, I've heard, there's something terrible in it. But it's Hogwarts, Hogwarts, the safest place in the wizarding world. ā
Maybe Hagrid didn't notice it, but Benjamin felt that the wizard in front of him seemed to be tempting.
In other words, a large part of his previous words was just to draw the conversation to Hogwarts.
Benjamin found that when this man spoke, he had a habit of touching the back of his head with his hand.
It was much higher than he wanted to touch his chin.
Is there something strange about the back of his head?
It's just that Benjamin can't stand up and look at it now, otherwise he will definitely be discovered by the masked wizard.
Hagrid seemed pleased with the man's praise for Hogwarts, which was his owner, or more precisely, his home.
"Yes, it's Hogwarts! Hmph, who wouldn't be at ease with keeping their treasures at Hogwarts!
Benjamin suddenly felt that Hagrid, the idiot, might be in trouble.
However, it had nothing to do with him, he wasn't Potter, and he didn't have any friendship with the half-blood giant.
"Is there a safer place than Gringotts? I haven't heard that Gringotts has a dragon. The masked wizard's tone betrayed a deep disdain for Hagrid's words.
This greatly stimulated Hagrid.
If you scold Hagrid, he probably won't be angry. But if you scold Dumbledore, scold the Potters, he will tremble with anger.
When you look down on Hogwarts, Hagrid gets angry.
"It's just a dragon. I mean, not only did Hogwarts have Dumbledore, but now there's a really good guy. Hagrid lowered his voice, but it was just enough for Benjamin to hear.
Benjamin had now guessed what Hagrid was trying to say, and he had guessed the purpose of the masked wizard.
However, he wanted to know the purpose as much as the wizard did.
"Guy? You use "it" instead of "him", so it's a creature? What kind of creature is that so powerful, is it a legendary magical creature? a red dragon?a vampire earl?a hydra? or, well, a sea monster?"
Benjamin was intrigued by the magical creatures of the wizard's words.
These creatures also exist in his world, but Benjamin has never seen them.
Hagrid shook his head, then said proudly, "That's it, Hellhound. Well, this thing is amazing! It took me a lot of effort to find it. I dare say that no one but me can tame it!"
Benjamin admired Hagrid a little now, and it seemed that Dumbledore still valued him so much for a reason.
The masked wizard's body trembled visibly, just when Benjamin thought he would ask about such a powerful thing, what was it that was guarding.
The wizard pulled out a huge egg from under his cloak.
This egg is about the size of a child.
What the hell is this egg?
Hagrid, visibly interested, stroked the egg lightly with his hand and asked, "This is the first time I've seen such a big egg." ā
The masked wizard chuckled and said:
"It's a dragon egg. He saw Hagrid's mouth open and added, "Don't be so surprised, it's just a dragon egg." If you like it......" He deliberately dragged out his voice.
"Will you give it to me?" Hagrid asked excitedly.
Benjamin shook his head, feeling that Hagrid's IQ was inversely proportional to his figure.
"Yes, you just need to tell me if the three-headed dogs of hell have any weaknesses, I don't believe they can be more powerful than dragons. ā
"I don't know who is more powerful than it or the dragon, but of course it has weaknesses, it falls asleep whenever it hears music. ā
