Chapter 36: Hagrid's Dragon Egg
Rolf is preparing to go out and run laps around the Black Lagoon every day to increase his fitness level, and Malfoy is ready to run with him.
Although I don't know why Rolf runs every day, watching him grow taller makes Malfoy envious.
But...... The two of them happened to meet the protagonist trio with three faces of curiosity, so they became five faces of curiosity.
"What the hell are you going to do?" asked Malfoy, curious.
"Shhhh
We're going to take a look, do you want to be together? We suspect Hagrid will put a dragon in the Philosopher's Stone level. Harry said with a mysterious expression.
Dragons? It can't be Noble, is it? Dragon eggs aren't so easy to get, I wonder if I can fool Noble?
The original team of three was transformed into a team of five, and they walked towards Hagrid's cabin and knocked on the door of the hunting ground guard's hut.
Several people were surprised to find that the hut, which was not bright in the first place, had all the curtains drawn tightly, as if a vampire lived in the house.
Hagrid shouted "Who?", waited for Harry's answer to open the door and let them in, then quickly turned back and closed the door tightly.
It was suffocatingly hot in the cabin, and despite such a warm sunny day, there was a roaring fire in the fireplace.
The enthusiastic Hagrid seemed to be a little cramped today, but he still made them tea and brought them a ferret's sandwich.
Rolf breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hagrid was no longer just serving rockskin cakes, and he wanted to keep that tooth for a few more years.
"Why did you come to me?" Hagrid said, eating a homemade stoat sandwich and pretending to be nonchalant, "You seem to have something to ask me?"
"That's right," Harry asked directly, "We don't know if you can tell us what other mechanisms are guarding the Philosopher's Stone other than the three-headed dog Luvie?"
Hagrid frowned at them, "Of course I can't say. He said, "First, I don't know it myself, and second, you already know so much that I wouldn't tell you if I did."
That stone makes a lot of sense here. It was almost stolen from Gringotts! I guess you got it all right? I don't know how you even know about Louwill. ”
"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, and Rolf had a sore tooth when she listened, wasn't it good to speak normally?
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 Hermione's last compliment, Hagrid was visibly happy.
As if he had received some kind of approval, he puffed up his chest and nodded with a smile.
Rolf gave Hermione a quiet thumbs up, sure enough, the girl who can be spoiled has candy?
"Well, it's okay to talk to you, but you have to make sure you don't tell anyone else!
Let me think about it, Professor Dumbledore borrowed Lowe from me, and then asked a few other teachers to cast magic tricks,
Professor Snape, Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall," he counted with his hands, "and Professor Quirrell, and of course, Dumbledore himself did his magic. ”
"Snape?" asked Harry in surprise, apparently Snape was in the midst of these professors, which made Harry feel very puzzled, as if he was asking Peng Yyan, Wu Yzu, or you who is handsome, very abruptly.
Why would Dumbledore invite someone who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone to set up a trap?
In Harry's opinion, since Snape was also involved in protecting the Philosopher's Stone, it must have been easy for him to figure out what the other teachers had set up.
He probably knew everything, and it seemed that the only thing that could stop him at the moment was Professor Quirrell's mechanism and the roadblocker.
"Yes, are you still doubting him? I told you that your suspicion is impossible!
Professor Snape has also helped protect the Philosopher's Stone, so he won't steal it, and even if you don't believe him, you should trust Professor Dumbledore's eyes. ”
Professor Dumbledore's vision, if Rolf could agree with Dumbledore's strength, but his vision really didn't seem to be good.
"You're the only one who knows how to get through Lowe, don't you, Hagrid?" Harry asked eagerly, "You won't tell anyone, will you? Not even the teacher, will you?"
"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? Harry tugged at his untidy robes, trying to cool himself off.
"No, Harry, I'm sorry. Hagrid rejected Harry's request outright, and it seemed to be the first time he had rejected Harry so directly.
Everyone in the room noticed that he glanced at the fireplace from time to time, and several of them turned their heads to look at the fire.
"Hagrid, what's that?" Ron saw an egg-shaped object somewhere, and although he also guessed that it might be a dragon egg, he asked excitedly.
In fact, everyone already knew that it might be a dragon egg, in the center of the fire, under the kettle, there was a big black egg.
"Oh," said Hagrid, twisting his beard a little uneasily, "that's ...... emm......”
"Where did you get that, Hagrid?" Ron continued, crouching down to the fire and taking a closer look at the big egg, apparently Rolf wasn't alone in his interest in dragons.
"It must have cost you a lot of money!" Ron continued, his interest in dragons as well.
"Winn!" said Hagrid, smugly, "I was drinking at the Pig's Head Bar last night 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 soul-tortured Hagrid.
"Oh, I've been reading. Hagrid said, pulling a tome from under his pillow, "Raising Dragons for Fun and Profit, borrowed from the library."
Sure, it may be a bit outdated, but it's still very comprehensive. It says to put the eggs in the fire, because it's as if their mother is exhaling at them.
You see, it's still written here, and when it hatches, feed it a barrel of brandy with chicken blood every half hour.
Looking at this again, how to distinguish the different eggs, I got a Norwegian ridgeback dragon, which is very rare. ”
He looked very proud, but Hermione didn't think so, and couldn't help but remind him loudly:
"Hagrid, don't forget that you live in a wooden house. She thought about her words kindly, and reminded carefully.
But Rolf didn't notice that Hagrid was listening, and that he was playing with the fire while humming a little song merrily.
He put almost all his thoughts on the little dragon that was about to be born.
ps: After reading it for so long, let's blindly guess who the heroine of this book will be?
